Hi. Thank for the MOD. It's awesome and very useful for my site. Although I loved it, I don't know a thing to tweak it. Thanks to genius people here.

Can someone tell me how to add a "Start Time" (ie. 8:20am) and "End Time" ? (ie. 4:20pm) in the form? This is for a yardsale community I'm building. I want it to show as:

What: (Already working)
Where: (Already working)
When: (Already working)
Time: ----need help here---
Notes: (Already working)
Driving Directions: (Already working)

Thanks in advance guys!

Actually, when I developed the mod, I wanted to avoid putting too much code into the works. It was important to track the start and stop date in order for the system to sort the events and drop them from the list when they were done.
For that reason (and the varying times of servers) I chose to use the Comments section for the information about event times. Entering "We'll be open 9 to 5 Thursday, 10 to 6 Friday, and 12 to 6 Sunday" is kinda hard to code. You can see why I tried to make it flexible.
If every one of your events were going to have static times for each day OR all events are for one day only, that's another matter. You could use the start or end date to insert the time and extract it in the tpl file.

Let me know if you need to go that way and I'll help with the code, but I think you can get by with using comments.

Thanks for the reply! :-) I actually want to post concert events too and others that has the start and end time. I did notice a 00:00:00 but just don't know how to go about it.

Hi,

Works nice and so useful! But I have a puzzle in my mind is if there would be a chance that someone else would enter the 'eventz' folder by accident and input something like spam there!

regards,

Matters not what the folder is named. It doesn't show in the sitemap and add an underscore to the name can help as well.

Naming it differently will help or you can access the events table through phpMyAdmin or some other database program. Navicat has a free tool that is nice.

The eventz folder was created for those who were uncomfortable with having to dive into the database.

hi im using a fresh install of 1.3.8 i have some addons but nothing that conflicts with these folders

i have installed the sql patch and everything seems to be great except the events main page shows as blank, despite me having set up a dummy event for it to display, i cant work out what is causing it to not show up? i have scanned this board over and over and ive seen a couple of posts relating to this but no solution unless i am missing something? any help would be much appreciated

thankyou

[bonnit]

my mistake, i entered a past date for the dummy event i put in, school boy error! working now lol

Glad you got it going

For others' reference. --- When the events page comes up with the title and no information, either there's no information or the information is outdated.
