Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
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…

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
hi jufemaiz
one for the bug list – I can’t delete categories – I get the ‘are you sure’ message, but the categories remain

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
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.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
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.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
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.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
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.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
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:
<code><txp:jmc_if_variable variable=“url”><a href=”<txp:jmc_venue_url />”></txp:jmc_if_variable><txp:jmc_venue_name /><txp:jmc_if_variable variable=“url”></a></txp:jmc_if_variable></code>
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!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
Damn that’s a gold idea! I’ll have a go getting it to work…
Hopefully within the week…
To all users out there – can I please get a listing of sites currently implementing this plugin? Cheers.

Unless I’m confused, I think there’s a table name missing somewhere near the beginning of that instruction. Right?
Have no call for this plugin just yet, but it looks like a winner. I’ll keep it in mind for a future project.
