[plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager

joelwitherspoon · 2006-07-31 23:41:27

I hate being a total newb but here I am, at it again.

I’ve installed the jmc plugin but I cannot get it to work on my site. 
I’ve followed the instructions in step #9 on page one of this topic. 
I’ve used the Example form on page one as well 
I’ve created a venue and a few events

I’ve created a form called “newcal” and used the Example form in it (what should its form type be, by the way?) 
I’ve called it from the side bar this way

txp:jmc_events form=“newcal”

But it’s not showing up. What are some things I can check?

to get that kind of result you could try something like this in your form:

you’d need to tweak the form to get start and end dates tho… and check PHP DateTime functionality
maybe I misunderstand you but you couldn’t output it as a navigaition list… you can’t generate unique articles with this plugin at the moment, only a single page of all upcoming events, or a page of past ones. So you’d probably want to add a bit more detail to your form as well.

I just noticed on jufemaiz’s todo list

Add functionality of searching by date/venue – added complexity, but added functionality

that might be something worth waiting for :)

if you are copying and pasting the txp commands straight from the instructionsthere is a space like this: txp : that stops it working.

joelwitherspoon · 2006-08-01 16:38:51

LOL. The > and < are not showing up in this forum. I had to bold them for emphasis.

I tried it without the space and still no dice.

Okay, I got dice.

It’s working now.

For posterity, I had to remove the plugin and drop the tables from the db. Then I grabbed coffee and chatted up the guy in the next office. Next, I woke up and reinstalled;it now works.

This looks great, I skipped this the first time I saw the title as I imagined a calendar-type layout. This however, is much more efficient :¬)

jufemaiz · 2006-08-08 10:43:33

Ok… “tweaks” i’m working on…

Major overhaul to utilise the “wraptag”, “title”, “class” concept that maniqui has suggested (page 4). I’m also planning on making the code a little more lean + mean to reduce its size and overhead (well, here’s hoping). Unfortunately at this point it will be relying on globals to access the data and drastically reduce database overheads (if people disagree with this I’m more than willing to alter this concept).

Are there any other attributes for the tags that people would like?

creativesplash · 2006-08-08 10:58:26

I’d like to request events listing according to venues. At the moment, There is a tag but it doesnt work. So I request you to kindly solve this :)

Another request i’d like to make is to post events from the front-end. (I’d like to combine this with <a href=“http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=8799”>ign_password_protect</a> and <a href=“http://manfre.net/project/627/mem-self-register”>mem_self_register</a>.) I would love it if it works somewhat like Manfre’s <a href=“http://manfre.net/project/657/moderation-queue-public-beta”>Moderation queue</a>.

jufemaiz · 2006-08-08 13:58:57

creative: thanks for the reply…

re: password_protect: have you tested it yet?
re: self_register: not quite sure what you mean with combining it with the two… i assume by some method of viewer posting of events?

moderation queue won’t be for this one… that’s some time off unfortunately…

creativesplash · 2006-08-12 10:06:40

Hi Thanks for the reply.

Yes password_protect works very fine. igner has done terrific job. You can basically protect either chunks of code, a single page or even entire sections. (It doesnt protect files from being downloaded though- it doesnt matter really, coz i was not looking for that feature anyway!!)

Regarding moderation. Well need not have moderation capabilities. Just looking for a front-end solution where users can submit events directly. I’m would like to use ign_password_protect to protect the front-end event submission form. Is it possible?

Thanks for looking into this!

Regards,
Vasanth

Hey Joel
Thanks for making this event plug-in, I was surprised that it was set-up for band gigs, because that’s exactly what I would use it for.
I noticed that the plug-in adds a tab called ‘Extensions’ to the main TXP menu, with a sub-tab ‘event manager prefs’ and the text ‘gig listing’ as content.
I wonder what’s the function of this? I just started using TXP today so excuse me if this is a silly question…

Kind regards,
Jan

Sorry guys but i’m going crazy. I’ve already read all the forum, but nothing.
I’ve installed the plugin (v. 0.2 beta) in a empty test site. I’ve activated it and all looks fine.
I’ve 3 events under the event manager tab. All this entry will finish at 13 Sep.
I’ve done a very simply form called “event”, type=article:
<h3><txp:jmc_event_name /></h3>
<h4><txp:jmc_event_price /></h4>
In the default page I’ve cleaned all about txp:article and i’ve put just:
<txp:jmc_events form=“event” />
………
Nothing appears.

What’s wrong?

I’ve seen the joelwitherspoon alpha’s post. I’ve already installed jmc plugin three time.

panda · 2006-09-08 14:09:57

Ok, I’ve solved (not completely).
The problem was the date. Using the option past:1 all is displayed.
I’m testing in my local machine with an italian xp version.
Now,maybe, I should change the way that jmc plugin use for the date.

p.s. sorry for the last (and my first here) post. i’ve used txp sintax writing the form.

mattmikulla · 2006-09-20 04:18:19

My Dates are not outputting correctly. maybe the formatting.

<code>
Start Date: <txp:jmc_event_time start=“1” php_date=“l F m, Y – g:iA” /> 
End Date: <txp:jmc_event_time start=“0” php_date=“l F m, Y – g:iA” />
</code>

Any ideas?

Niconemo · 2006-09-20 07:11:45

<txp:jmc_event_time start="0" php_date="l F m, Y - g:iA" />

does output in my sites :

Saturday September 09, 2006 – 7:00PM

Is it different for you ?
