Hi folks, I am a civiCRM noob here looking to do a few things for events display. I'm using Joomla 1.5.1 and the latest civiCRM 2.2.7.

1) Can I display all upcoming events by type on a page (menu item type per Joomla!).

2) Can display all upcoming events on another page (menu item type per Joomla!).

I'm sure both can be done, but through the joomla admin it was not apparent to me how to do this. Maybe there is a URL string variable that I can pass the type or all events in via this string "option=com_civicrm&view=Events&Itemid" .

Cheers,
TR

for 2 check:

http://joomla.demo.civicrm.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/ical&reset=1&page=1&html=1

to display all events by type you'll need to modify the php code a bit to use the type passed in from the query string

Thanks, but how did you get Joomla to create that string to display them all. I only seem to have the option to create a single event display on a menu item. I must be approaching it all wrong somehow through Joomla.

Ok, I just made the menu item a link and used the string as the page URL, that does the trick

Sorry for jumping the gun there before thinking it through. Now onto trying to figure out how to pass it an event type. Any pointers are where to start looking in the code are much appreciated as this will be my first time digging into civiCRM, which is totally awesome by the way!

Cheers,

u'll need to modify the code starting at:

CRM/Event/Page/ICalendar.php

Actually - you can add "type=N" parameter to the URL to filter to a specific event type. N is an integer that maps to event_type_id. Check the Value column under Admin CiviCRM >> CiviEvent >> Event Types.
