[plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_event [flexible integrated event management]

fostsi_1 · 2007-05-25 20:40:07

Ok, nardo, thanks again. And, once again, I’d like to keep the end time function in place as that was one of the nice things about this plugin that attracted me to it. I’ve asked a friend of mine to take a look at the code in exchange for a few beers (my budget ain’t big!). PHP isn’t really his thing so I’m not expecting miracles, so if anyone else would like to take a crack at it, they can tender me an offer (remember my budget though!).

Basically, from what I can tell, the start time currently has no meaning except for displaying the start time. I can only assume that it is the same for the end time. Please, correct me if I’m wrong! If time and date were tied more closely together, I would imagine I’d get the functionality I’m looking for.

Many thanks,

Simon.

forgive me if I’m being dense!! this is how I’d go about the example below…

Sunday 27 May 2007
Chill out with the Sunday selection
Sunday is a day to take it easy, kick back, relax and enjoy a few cold ones while listening to the coolest rock tunes from the years gone by. O’C‘s is the place that all can be accomplished. The simple joys of life under one roof!
From: 16.00 until: 01.30

set event date to Sunday 27 May 2007 – and leave event finish date blank
set event time to 16.00
make a custom field called closing time and use that to hold your event finish time
modify your form to show the custom field instead of zem_event_finish_time

then I think zem_event_list will never show your Sunday event on a Monday morning

but maybe u can find a better way programatically

Once again nardo, thanks for your input.

Rgretfully, this defeats my idea for using this plugin. I would like to further integrate it into my site. I plan to have a “What’s on now” box and a “what’s to look forward to box” As such, I need to be able to manage the time factor quite accurately. If the event has no finish time, then I’m lost!

I had previously been using <txp:article_custom form="events" limit="999" sortby="Posted" time="future" section="events" sortdir="asc" /> which will basically be the same as doing what you suggest above.

I guess that the function I’m looking for has not yet been developed. I’m not surprised. I have headaches with time in other software too; especially when you go into the next day.

This quote seems appropriate:

… It is as though architects had to measure length in feet, width in meters and height in ells; as though basic instruction manuals demanded a knowledge of five different languages. It is no wonder then that we often look into our own immediate past or future, last Tuesday or a week from Sunday, with feelings of helpless confusion. …

Regards,

Simon.

Sorry if this has been covered. I’m on deadline and haven’t had time to read everything…

I’m creating a public library summer reading website and I’m having a curious time with our young adult activities listing …

On this page “Pizza and Pages” and “DanceDance Revolution” are both repeating events.

However, these events only list themselves once on this page.

Here’s the code I’m using…

<txp:zem_event_list form=“7.minievents” category=“Teens” />

Oddly, in another location on the website (see listing on right), the list works exactly as I expect and repeats the repeating events. In this instance I’m using this code…

<txp:zem_event_list form=“7.minievents” />

Question: Why does including the category eliminate the repeating events? Am I missing something?

Thanks y’all!

UPDATE

I still don’t know why adding a category eliminates repeating events in a list, but I’ve created a work around by creating two sub-categories for my list. One for one-time events and one for the weekly events. It works. My calendar still works with the parent category and it repeats there just fine.

I’ve searched for this same problem but I found nothing.

I’m a newbie at Textpattern but I’m getting the hang of it quite easily. I figured plugin installation would be easy but for some reason it’s not working for me.

I copy and pasted the text in zem_event_v0.34 but I get the message, “Badly formed or empty code plugin”. When I install zem paginate, I don’t have that problem.

I’ve downloaded the plugin about thrice now and I still get the error. What could be wrong?

Ok weirdness is ensuing. On my mom’s site everything looks great on the calendar until you get to August… Go here: http://tucsonirishcommunity.com/index.php?s=Calendar

Now click forward until you get to August… all of a sudden the previous and next months are wacky. Heeeeeelp!

I’m getting the same error in both 4.0.3 and 4.0.4.

After upgrade to 4.0.5 why my date picker doesn’t work?

Please help me how to fix it.
Thanks

squaredeye · 2007-07-02 12:45:21

I suspect you forgot to put your jquery file back?

decoderltd · 2007-07-02 17:23:16

Hi Matthew,

I’ve just updated to 4.0.5 as well and the date picker isn’t working – both js files (jquery.js & datePicker.js) are present. Coincidently, as TXP uses jquery.js can I tweak some code to point zem_event at that, currently it looks in a folder called js which resides in the Textpattern folder.

Thanks.

squaredeye · 2007-07-02 18:10:26

Go for the tweak. I’m in the middle of a bunch of stuff, but if anyone wants to make the tweak and then submit the patch to hakjoon then we can get the new one uploaded to the google code repo.

Hi,

I am trying to do something similar to the offset option for articles but can’t figure out how. Ideally I would like to offset by # of events rather than using date_from date_to. But even if I do use the date method, how do I specify a different output (title only) for that event list.

Thanks

First of all: great plugin, just what I need. But I have a problem with the calendar-view and the weekday-names. I’m in Norway, using the characters æ, ø and å. In the calendar these characters are just shown as “?”. How can I change this?
