SMF Events Module - Ordering question

I am sorry, this is really just a nitpick on my part, so its not an urgent issue.

I have the latest versions of Joomla, SMF and the bridge installed.  I downloaded the SMF calendar and events modules and installed them.  I put the events module on my front page and it looks great.

However, to me the order is backwards.  Instead of showing the next event coming up, it shows one a week from now and works backwards down the list.  I tried to see if there is anyway in the Joomla admin for the modules to set the order and I cant see it (I could be missing the obvious).

I would like for it to show tonights event first, followed by tomorrows and so on, rather than next weeks at the top and tonights at the bottom.

I don't think there is an option to change the order, but there is a simple edit to the mod_smf_events.php file you can do.

Around line 101 change the sql query from 'ORDER BY cal.startDate DESC' to 'ORDER BY cal.startDate ASC'

yep...   my mistake when I created the module...   if/when I release a new version that will be fixed... but in the mean time, just change it in your code. :)

Thank you.  That worked like a charm.

Had issues with ownership on the file though.  Couldnt do an ordinary upload via dreamweaver.  Had to go to server admin, delete the orginal to upload my fix.  I have found that a problem with Joomla, not having permission to edit the files.

one point:   I recommend that you do not use dreamweaver to edit php files.

Why not?

And what do you recommend instead?

A good percentage of my website is in php thanks to the various software downloads I am using.  And I am slowly teaching it to myself via editing these files and php book purchases.

I suggest UltraEdit.

ConText and EditPlus2 are both decent as well...   and I've heard good things about notepad2

basically, get a text editor that parses php...   and use a straight FTP program like FileZilla or FTP Voyager.

I very rarely use the design part of dreamweaver, I use the code side of it all, so I dont think I am trying to parse anything.  I just used dreamweaver because it shows the code nicely (I am a handcoder, not a wyswiger) and does ftp all in the one piece of software.  

I read somewhere else that if you only look at it in the code side of it, it shouldnt be a problem.  This the case?

I don't know for sure... but from all the horror stories, I wouldn't.

All of the ones that I listed show nice parsed-colour-coded code...
