Author Topic: List of upcoming events via CiviEvent in Drupal ... (Read 1975 times)

I'm working on an events listing page per this documentation on the CiviCRM site:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/List+of+Upcoming+CiviEvents+or+Feed+of+Events

It's working beautifully but I have some additional questions I'm hoping the CiviCRM PHP gurus might help me out with:

Questions:

1) How do you tweak the PHP so that if the event just occurs on one day and not from a date to a date, you can output the date header to just show that one day ... but still have the string of start to end date for those events that run over a period of time.

2) Additionally how do you delete the second month (for end date) if the month is the same as the start date. So instead of:

Apr 17 - Apr 20 2008

it would be:

Apr 17-20 2008

3) How do you output the month to be spelled out "April" vs. "Apr"

4) Finally how would I output the City, State/Province, and Country location data? Should I add those variables to this line:
$display .= l($title_place.' '.$title_desc, 'civicrm/event/info', array(), 'reset=1&id='.$event['id']).'<br />';
echo $display;

Thanks in advance@

You can check out some logic for doing some of these things - like only showing End Time if the End Date is same as Start Date - by looking the the code in the Event Info page template:

templates/CRM/Event/Page/EventInfo.tpl

(it's smarty code, not PHP - so syntax is different - but good reference for "logic").

Then I would add some echo statements inside the foreach loop to verify what the data coming from the API looks like....

Code: [Select]

echo $event['end_date'] . '<br />';

... and then review the PHP doc on the date function to see how you can manipulate the date output:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Hope that helps :-) Assuming you get something you like - post back your results to the wiki page (or post back here if you're not quite there yet).

Use those codes to build a block and put it in the front page. Everything seems to work great until I click those events' links, which all link to one url:http://localhost:8888/oiaevents/?q=civicrm/event/info

Any clues, what's going on here. My civicrm version is 2.06.

Thanks in advance!
