[plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager

Great news… I will update it as soon as possibly.
Thanks, jufemaiz.

Two questions:

please, could you explain how to upgrade the plug-in for those that have already instaled? I read somethinb about using the database admin (I have both PHPMyAdmin and the rss_admin_manager plug-in by wilshire)
what are you waiting to update your site to TXP?! ;D

thanks in advance.

Upgrade on Past Version

As with all updates, please backup your database, then go through the following steps:

Through your database admin, add the following columns to the <pre>txp_jmc_event</pre> and <pre>txp_jmc_event_venue</pre> set as NULL (or equivalent on your Textpattern installation)
Activate plugin – Quicklink to activate
Go to Content and then Event Manager tab – Quicklink to Event Manager
Do a little jig and you should be right + ready to go!

Not sure how much more indepth i could go there as it depends on your database manager…

The instructions in 1 (add the following… set NULL) are the one I dont understand…

But dont worry! Because I have noticed that I have the plug-in installed but without the tables created at the DB, because I never used in this site before.
So I delete the plug-in and now I’m going to do a clean install it from the scratch.

Thanks anyway!

Neither do I… It’s a little too eliptic for my skill on database ;-)

jufemaiz · 2006-04-06 09:58:39

I’ll expand, sorry guys:

Go into phpMyAdmin if you have it
Open up your textpattern database
Go to the txp_jmc_event
_Add new field: [1] @ end of table (doesn’t matter the location)
Fill in the following details:

Field: CategoryID
Type: INT
Length/Value: 11
Attributes:
Null: NULL
Default:
Extras:

Hope this helps. I’m hoping to add an admin tab that will deal with updates shortly…

hi jufemaiz
one for the bug list – I can’t delete categories – I get the ‘are you sure’ message, but the categories remain

maniqui · 2006-04-28 00:13:30

hi jufemaiz,

is it possible to output the month in a non-english language? I’m using TXP in spanish, but the plug-in outputs the month in english.

thanks.

jufemaiz · 2006-04-28 05:31:31

pieman – looks like the first update will be coming shortly…

maniqui – have you got any reference for Calendars in other languages? Is it part of the language pack of textpattern perhaps? That could give me a far better option.

maniqui · 2006-04-28 05:39:40

hi jufemaiz, thanks for replying.

The spanish language pack (es-es) in the TXP database has got all the months translated, so maybe you could easily connect your plug-in to the installed language pack (but I dont know if that is easy).

thanks again.

jufemaiz, it’s me again.

I have been looking at the this gig page of TheLyricalMadmen, and it has been really inspiring.
Did you do that one?

If yes, I have a little question: can you teach me the trick to have even/odd classes applied to each row? I have tried with this zem’s plugin inside the form called by jmc_event_manager but it didnt work (it seems that the plug-in only works inside a form called by txp:article).

thanks in advance.

here I’m again.
take note of the following suggestions, jufemaiz! ;)

First: jmc_if_variable
I have been playing just a bit with that tag and it worked for me (besides the “warning” in the help).
I cant imagine any other uses for that tag than… checking the variable… and then output or not some code… and so, you wont get empty tags if variable is empty.
Also, it doesnt work with txp:else by now.
So, I have all this code just to link (or not) the venue name with the venu site:

But… that’s not the usual “logic” of most of the TXP built-in tags… so…

Second: I would suggest the evolution of this plug-in tags to be more “compliant” with the usual logic of the built-in TXP tag.
Some tags could become container tags and other tags could add some attributes like wraptag, break, class, etc.

Examples:
txp:jmc_venue_url as a container/single tag:
<txp:jmc_venue_url>...</txp:jmc_venue_url> or <txp:jmc_venue_url />

wraptag and class attributes
Something like this:
<code><h4><txp:jmc_venue_name /></h4>
<div class=“venue_info”>
<div class=“adr”>
<div class=“street-address”>
<txp:jmc_venue_address1 />
</div>
<span class=“locality”><txp:jmc_venue_suburb /></span>
…
…
</code>
could be written as:
<code><txp:jmc_venue_name wraptag=“h4” />
<div class=“venue_info”>
<div class=“adr”>
<txp:jmc_venue_address1 wraptag=“div” class=“street-address” />
<txp:jmc_venue_suburb wraptag=“div” class=“locality” />
…
…
</code>

So, if a variable hasnt been filled, then the tag wont output anything (similar to what the jmc_if_variable tag actually does).

Dont know if all this makes any sense, but, hey, this are just some ideas that came while using this fantastic plug-in.

thanks!
