I am considering buying RSEvents as a replacement for a site that currently uses Eventlist. The reason for the possible swap is event registration with payments. Most things will swap over nicely and can be modified with a bit of CSS to make it look similar.

The only thing that is completely different is the upcoming events list. With the event teaser modeule for eventlist it looks a lot nicer. The eventlist module can be found here http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension-specific/eventlist-extensions/11527?qh=YTo0OntpOjA7czo5OiJldmVudGxpc3QiO2k6MTtzOjExOiJldmVudGxpc3QncyI7aToyO3M6NjoidGVhc2VyIjtpOjM7czo3OiJ0ZWFzZXJzIjt9



Does anybody know if it's possible to get the rsevents one to look the same? mainly with the calender icon on the left with the date pasted on top of it. The social links would be great as well but not quite as important. Just to pretty it up a bit compared to the standard layout.

Any help would be much appreciated! If I can get it to work I'll buy a developer license, it's the only thing putting me off from buying it now.

Thanks

Hello,

RSEvents! does incorporate something similar by using the mod_rsevents_upcoming module. This is rather flexible in terms of layout. Basically you can use standard HTML and CSS to customize your event listing. You can read more on it here:

http://www.rsjoomla.com/customer-support/documentations/45-add-ons-and-enhancements/186-rsevents-upcoming-module.html

To visualize its configuration options, you can test it in the demo area:

demo.rsjoomla.com
demo.rsjoomla.com/administrator

The social media buttons can only be displayed once you open the event page, not in event listing areas.

Thank you fo rteh reply and sorry I took so long to come back to you. Is it possible to call the month and day of an event separately? to put in the event list. My problem is I can style it the same but it pulls month day and time all in one go which is no good. How can I call just the month then just the day as two separate items? I don't mind having to alter code etc but I don't know what I need to call to use it or how to call it into the template.

It does look as if the module has the flexibility required but the tags for calling data aren't specific enough

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated, as stated this layout is now the only thing stopping me from purchasing a developer license from you

Is there maybe some way I can calls the day and month using strife time from the database ? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Huw

I have the same problem. I must be able to pull just the day and just the month from the date, without this ability I will not be able to use RSEvents on my site.

OK, this is pretty easy to do but not sure if it's allowed under the license. All you have to do is replace 2 lines of php.

Go to the file /modules/mod_rsevents_upcoming/helper.php

around line 123 you see two lines of code:

$bad = array('{EventName}','{EventLocation}','{EventCategory}','{EventStartDate}','{EventEndDate}','{EventIcon}','{EventSubscribe}');

$good = array($row->EventName , $row->LocationName , $row->CategoryName , $row->EventStartDate , $row->EventEndDate, $eventIcon,$eventsubscribe);

comment these out and replace with these two lines of code:

$bad = array('{EventName}','{EventLocation}','{EventCategory}','{EventStartDate}','{EventEndDate}','{EventIcon}','{EventSubscribe}','{EventDay}','{EventMonth}');

$good = array($row->EventName , $row->LocationName , $row->CategoryName , $row->EventStartDate , $row->EventEndDate, $eventIcon,$eventsubscribe,substr($row->EventStartDate,0,2),substr($row->EventStartDate,3,3));

Probably not the most elegant solution but it is pretty cool cause you can add anything you want to for back end variables.
