I got civiCRM to work with Drupal 6 and it is great, but there is one thing I have to change. As usual. Is there any way to make the events not to expire or make them valid for a period of time like a month. I tried to set the expiration time to a later date but the events still expire before the actual date.  I am using the Event block created by CiviCRM.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Julian

Julian :

By default, we show all the events in the event block that have start date >= current date
You might want to set the date from which onwards you wish to display the events here :
Code: [Select]
Index: CRM/Core/Block.php
===================================================================
--- CRM/Core/Block.php (revision 23349)
+++ CRM/Core/Block.php (working copy)
@@ -515,7 +515,8 @@
         $config =& CRM_Core_Config::singleton( );
         
         require_once 'CRM/Event/BAO/Event.php';
-        $info = CRM_Event_BAO_Event::getCompleteInfo( );
+        $info = CRM_Event_BAO_Event::getCompleteInfo( "20020101" );

where 2002-01-01 onwards you want to display events in event block

Hope that helps!

Do you know if there is a way not to display the date in the block or to make it not mandatory when the event is created.

I would suggest just hiding the date in the block rather than making it non mandatory during event creation.
The following patch would do the trick :

Code: [Select]
Index: templates/CRM/Block/Event.tpl
===================================================================
--- templates/CRM/Block/Event.tpl (revision 23456)

     {assign var=evSummary value=$ev.summary|truncate:80:""}
     <em>{$evSummary}{if $ev.summary|count_characters:true GT 80}  (<a href="{$ev.url}">{ts}more{/ts}...</a>){/if}</em>I strongly recommend you use custom template to achieve this.

Is it possible to make events show up for the entire time they are active?

i have some events spanning 2 weeks, but they disappear from the events block on day 1.
so instead of start date >= today, how do i work "end date" into it so I see multi-day events in the block until they are over?

thanks

you will need to change the code / query in

CRM/Core/Block.php, function setTemplateEventValues

I have the same problem, could you elaborate on how to achieve this in the code? It doesn't make sense that active and unexpired event disappears from the list. The delisting should be based on end date (if end date is set), or stay listed forever if there is no end date.
