Hi,

We have several hundred events that we want to put into civiEvent and then list on a single page, one line per event.  Up to now I have created menu links to a single event, then see how Joomla handles the link, and then use that link to add the event to an Event page (with ALL the Current Events listed).  Is there a faster way of doing this?

Thanks.

I'm trying to get the RSS feed working, but am not getting anything. I have one event currently active. When I click the ical link, I get the xml that includes the one event, so I know that's working. But when I click the RSS 2.0 link, it brings me to the standard xml/feed page in Firefox, but with no data. Subscribing to the feed through other software shows nothing.

Am I missing some setting that toggles that feature on and off?

It appears the problem may be Joomla specific.

If I go into the Joomla demo > Administer > Manage Events, and click the RSS feed button, it's blank (there are two future events that should show up). But when I do the same in the Drupal demo, I get the feed correctly.

Well I figured out the specific problem. Then went into Jira to add the issue, and found it was already listed:
http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-2192

The link to the event page in the xml has a couple instances of the ampersand without the ascii code, and it breaks the RSS. However, this issue in Jira is marked complete, though the Smarty escape doesn't help the issue in the link field.

So the issue remains in Joomla. The reason it apparently affects Joomla and not Drupal is due to how CiviCRM builds the url string in Joomla. This is the line in the template file that creates the problem:

<link>{crmURL p='civicrm/event/info' q="reset=1&id=`$event.event_id`"}</link>
