Styling Events Based on Event Type
September 05, 2014, 03:16:49 pm
Hello,

I am running CiviCRM 4.4.6 with Drupal 7.31 and the CiviCRM Events view.  My client would like to style events differently based on the event type. In particular, they would like to style the events that they are not hosting differently from the event that they do host.  I examined several events using Firebug and did not see a class identifying the event type.  Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Gilbert

I'm sure the template has the event type available, so it's just a matter of adding it to the markup. Want to submit a pull-request for this?

When I enable debugging (Administer menu > System Settings > Debugging and Error Handling then enable Smarty Debugging (e.g. http://localhost:8001/civicrm/event/register?reset=1&id=3&smartyDebug=1), I see {$event['event_type_id']} as a Smarty variable.  If you're fine with using the id, it should just be a matter of adding that to an appropriate div in CRM/Event/Form/Registration/Register.tpl and/or CRM/Event/Page/EventInfo.tpl.  Hope that helps toward a pull request!

It should not be hard to look up event type from id and assigning that to the tpl. I think name would be better than id for a css class.

I need a little more information.  I don't know what a pull request is, please explain. Also, is it possible to get an email notification when there has been any activity on this thread?

Thanks,
Gilbert

There should be a Notify option at bottom.

A pull request is the way that you get any changes that you have made into core CiviCRM.  Put very simply: you 'clone' (i.e. create a local copy) of CiviCRM's code, make the changes you want, create a pull request, and someone reviews it, and adds it to core.

Appreciate that If you aren't that familiar with version control and software development, that might not make much sense to you. If you want to get familiar with it, then this is probably a great way to start. If not, you might want to pass this on to a colleague, etc. that does.

Hope that is helpful.

I was able to achieve what I set out to do.  ;D I didn't have to go so far as to hack the civicrm core.  I used the Drupal module Views PHP - https://www.drupal.org/project/views_php.  I was able to add a field to my view then used a conditional statement to identify the event id I needed to target.  I echoed a span tag with a class that I then styled with css.

Thanks for the responses.
