Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
I have no time enough to comment all that in detail but I second most of these over-demands ;)
And I add mine :- a user friendly localisation of the plugin as far as it is possible of course (it can be editing the source of the plugin if all is in the very first lines as some plugins do).
- the ability to choose what is displayed in the backend (I don’t need “Other Band” at all for example and all my editors tend to write other infos in it). Edit : I think it could be a custom field anyway…
- the ability to automatically display start date/time and end date/time only if both are filled or only start date/time if there is no end date… (that means also the ability to leave end date/time blank… or unchecked… or so).
Thank-you (I’m OK for testing of course I’ll send you a mail)

This is an important one, I was just about going to suggest that. For now I modify the php script (search and replace a couple of lines) and adjust the column names, I guess it won’t be very difficult to automate that process.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
Hello.
Trying to just list venues.
When I call the form “passport” which only contains
<code><txp:jmc_venue_name /></code>
with <code><txp:jmc_venue form=“passport” /></code>
I get nothing.
Not sure what I’m doing wrong…seems like it should work.
I have several venues entered.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
To clarify the last post.
I’m trying to create a list of venue names (independent of events)
Some venues have no events associated with them
Seems like the code above would accomplish that?
Thanks

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
<p>What type of form should we save the event calendar as: articles, links, misc,etc.?</p>
<p>Also,<br />
I’m having issues displaying the calendar on a new page. </p>
<p>The code in my form (testevents) is as follows: <b> txp :jmc_event_name </b><br />
The forms is saved as a “misc” type.</p>
<p>The code in my page is <b> txp:jmc_events form=”testevents” </b></p>
<p>It’s not displaying the event name nor any other event option. I’m not receiving any errors. Does anyone have any insight on this problem?</p>

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
Joel,
Could it be the event date? I don’t remember the default, but it may be just showing future or past events.
Just a thought. I also noticed the quotes around (testevents) are italic…I know this happens sometimes when things are cut and pasted…just double check they are just regular quotes.

I had an event starting on 9/28 to 10/10. I didn’t have the correct switches. Thanks.Joel,

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
Possible Bug -
When I add a Category, the title and subtitle are labeled as Venue Listing and Venue.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
Ok, for those who want to have some control over what’s visible in the forms, might I get some feedback on using the extension tab to manage this (at the top user level)?
Simple checkbox of “show in form” and “show in list”?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
You mean to show or hide a particluar form field like end-date? I’d find that useful.
Could you use the extension tab to define custom fields too? ;)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
I’m using this plugin on some upcoming sites and it’s been a huge help.
Unfortunately I feel like further development on this particular plugin is kind of misplacing effort — instead of reimplementing RSS feeds and individual article URL’s we should be taking advantage of textpattern’s existing article handling.
I’m in the process of refactoring the write & article tabs to a more flexible design, matching things up with a txp_article_types table that defines which edit fields are visible and what custom fields are named and typed (e.g. dates vs. simple text inputs vs. textareas). It’s a crockery change, but one that would make article-like duplicated code unnecessary… we could just focus on designing The Perfect Event and Venue Editing Screen
No offense intended of course! In the meantime this plugin has been incredibly useful :)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
Does anyone have experience using this with version 4.0.4? Does it still work?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] jmc_event_manager
I just updated to 4.04 and so far I haven’t found issues with the plugin, it still works 100%.
