Is there any way to make iCagenda compatible with Frontpage Slideshow, so that I could link iCagenda events directly to the slides?

Never used this extension, so not possible to answer/know if possible...
Do you have asked its developer if an api could be used to include third party contents in their slideshow extension ?

jonmar wrote: Alternatively, do you know of any slideshow components that already work with iCagenda?

Well... i don't know one...
And if one can do it, i was never contacted for this task...

All i can answer is that i have plans for this as a Pro Module in the future (or will see with a third party integration using an api to allow that...) but don't know today when i will have time to work on (or check) this.

Right now events that go on over a period of time just display the current date, but I would like them to show up like this: 5.6. - 15.6. for example. Is that possible?

Thanks

Do you mean in the date box ?
Do you use the default theme pack ? (because, in the "ic_rounded" theme pack, the start and end date are displayed under the event title, but not in the default theme, which is minimized)

Hello,

Yes, if you have done a custom theme pack (that means with a custom name, not 'default' core edition... ) you can customize all html and data rendering.

The line used in ic_rounded to display pre-fromatted date(s) of the event is :
Of course, don't hesitate to test ic_rounded, and check the code for the layouts of this theme to see differences

Hope this helps ?

Note: additionally, depending on how you set your events dates, and if all on period (from ... to ...) you can use $item->startdate and $item->enddate to get the iso formatted datetime from table (and so, you can manipulate it yourself in php )

jonmar wrote: Awesome, thanks!

By the way I contacted the developers of Frontpage Slideshow and they said they would consider supporting iCagenda in a future version.

Hi,

This is a great news!
Don't hesitate to keep us informed if you get news about this

Have a great day!

Hello,

$EVENT_DATE is a preformated rendering of the date(s) / period of the event.

If i set to hide "time" in event > dates option Display Time, time is hidden (works fine for me)

About leading zero, do you mean for month ? What is your current language in frontend ?
(note: you have options to set date format (global and individually in menu options) with many different formating).

In all cases, you can always set your own PHP code to format date as espected.
For this, use the PHP variable $evt to get the event date in database iso datetime format : YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (easy then to manipulate it with a php date fonction).

Hope this helps ?

jonmar wrote: Hi,

Could you give me some more specific instructions on how to remove the leading zeros from $EVENT_DATE? What file should I edit, and how should I edit it? Or is there some bit of code I could add to the <?php echo $EVENT_DATE; ?> so it hides the leading zeros?

Also, is there a way to remove the spaces from before and after the date separator?

Thanks.

Hello,

I would be happy to answer your question, but... could you answer mine questions first ? (it would help to understand if a custom answer, or need a improvement in iCagenda itself for date format in your language)

Thank you!
