Event Registration for SMF2

[dztzy]

Can anyone tell me how i can change de date format?

[demlak]

we would like to have all finished events hidden.

currently we use same thread for recurring events. but this also means, that every finished event is drawn on the page.

for example:


maybe it is possible to get a hide/show button which hides/shows finished events and shows only registering for future events?

thx a lot

Pity that your image isn't visible, but I agree with you that this is a good idea.

I have a question myself: under payment options I don't see any, does anyone know how to add options there?

@ emlak: thanks, makes it clearer what you're taking about (and nice looking forum!).

And I still agree with you, would be nice to have this added to the mod.

@ GL700Wing: thanks a lot for that link!

Have just starting using this mod - it is great and does just what we want.  However, we cannot use the download link to retrieve the list of attendees.  An error page pops up to say that the file cannot be previewed. It might be corrupted or an unknown format.  But there is no link to proceed to download.

Using V2.0.15

Any ideas?

It's a standard CSV (comma-delimited text) file.  YOur browsers is preventing the download for some reason (usually there is an options to preview or save).  Maybe you'll need to install software to open and view spreadsheet files (Office, OpenOffice, Libreoffice, etc.).  Or save the file and open in any text editor to view the unformatted version.

Thanks for getting back so quickly.  Turns out the user was using a phone to browse the forum and download the registration list.  It worked fine on a PC.

Separately, having looked through the posts in this thread, I have modified the templates to always have all groups selected and allow comments selected.  I really do have to make it it straight forward for my members!  But I can't see how to make the Registration Options show by default.  So many events are created where they didn't see the "Show" link next to Registration Options.  What code change do I need to make so that all options are visible when a user creates an event?

Many Thanks

Fantastic!!

I'll make that change tomorrow.  Perfect mod for my needs.  Thank you so much for this mod.

Back again with more requests, I'm afraid. 

My users refuse to see that they need to change the number of attendees from the default number to something suitable for their event.  I have amended the string to add the instruction to change the number, but they still don't see it.  Result is they create an event for 50 (default) people for a venue that will only hold 10.  They then have 50 people registering before I can step in and ask them to change their number.

I wanted to change the colour of the string to see if that would attract their eyes (Even it was flashing and playing tunes, I wonder whether they would see it, though!!!!) and have looked in the CSS file, but my knowledge is so limited, I am not sure what I would need to change or add.  If anyone could point me in the right direction.

Secondly, having changed the string to ask them to amend the number to something suitable - that is appropriate for creating an event, but the same string appears on the Linked Event Page.  Is it possible to create a second shorter string to go on the Linked Event Page so that they don't have the instruction to amend the number on that page - It doesn't really make sense there.

Finally, we never have the need to have the secondary confirm function.  How do |I go about disabling it and not having it even show up as an option.

So many questions, I am sorry, but I am having great fun setting up this forum and am so keen to learn.


Many Thanks

The attendees is a default database value - you'd need to edit the database structure to change it.  The other stuff involves functional code changes - I don't have the time (or inclination as there is no benefit to most) to modify and then test the changes that would be required.

[North East Man]

Thanks for the quick reply,  I had found the place in the files to adjust the default number so that wasn't really the issue.  It was really that no matter what number I set as a default, people weren't seeing it.  If I set it low, people would be excluded, set it high, too many people would come.   I just wanted to change the colour of the text to highlight it. 

The other couple of requests, I could have lived without but would have been nice.

But thanks for taking the time to respond anyway.

use a CSS inspector and check if the text that you want to change has a css identifier tag...   then just update that CSS ID to change the color...


If it doens't have a unique tag, then edit the template file.

[North East Man]

Hi Kindred,

Thanks for the reply.  So far as I can see, it doesn't have a unique css ID.  It seems to be based on the smalltext tag which is used throughout the forum and picks up characteristics from index.css.

Am I right in thinking the principle here would be to create a php class in the template - say mycolortext, replace the tag in the template from smalltext to mycolortext, and then create a css class describing font size, color, etc?

Sorry for the very basic question.

Smalltext is a class, you'd probably want to add an id definition to the call... probably I'm calendar.template.php

any plans to update for 2.1??

any plans to update for 2.1??

I also hope for an update.

I tried manually adding the "Event registration mod" which I believe is really a pre-decessor to this , but the changes were so many that the manual install does not work well unless you do some heavy tweaking...  Can anybody explain which of these I should go for?
If I end up patching this manually without following the "manual install" instructions - are there any way to share the result to at least save others the bother?

I find this a bit confusing:
