New extension: EEvent Helper

You can still do that - just display the HH:mm of the custom field you’re using for the End Date, which will remain unmolested by EEvent Helper. Does that make sense?

Ack, completely!

Thanks!

Another small update: version 1.0.2 updates the “force midnight” setting to also remove the “time” portion of the date fields in your Events weblog, so the calendar picker inserts dates in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. The time will still be automatically set to midnight when published.

After monkeying with an Events weblog all morning, I found this and will definitely be installing shortly. Also adding to devot:ee ASAP.

I was getting an error on the main Edit list screen that pointed to line 159. “M” isn’t in the URL on that page. I updated that line with some “isset”s to read:

if( (isset($_GET['M']) == 'entry_form' || isset($_GET['M']) == 'edit_entry')

Not sure if that was the right thing to do there, but the error is gone.

Thanks for catching that Ryan - I need to turn on PHP E_NOTICE warnings when developing so I catch this stuff sooner!

Line 159 should in fact read:

if( isset($_GET['M']) && ($_GET['M'] == 'entry_form' || $_GET['M'] == 'edit_entry') && isset($_GET['weblog_id']) && $_GET['weblog_id'] == $this->settings['event_weblog'] && $this->settings['midnight'] == 'yes')

Just pushed an update to GitHub to fix.

Does this allow for multiple events? ie say a show has 6 showings over 3 days.Right now the workflow consist of either using RepEEat plugin to create the multiple event times or you need to create an entry for each showtime

Hey Justin - no support for multiple occurrences of the same event here. EEvent Helper isn’t any sort of events manager. Essentially it’s just a helper to do some things automatically which you would otherwise have to train clients to do manually when it comes to handling entry and expiration dates.

Okay that is what I thought I just wanted to make sure. Looks great by the way

Awesome! This is going to be very useful for a site I’m rebuilding.

Today i installed this extension on my website. When i activate the extension I get a blank page

I’m getting an error on top of all my cp pages after installing this extension (v.1.0.2):

Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in /home/xxx/public_html/xxx/extensions/ext.eevent_helper.php on line 151

I remove all the extensions en replace it with a back-up but i still receive an error:

Unable to load the following extension file:

ext.eevent_helper.php

Great Extension!

On one site I have several event calendars with different field groups and they are separate weblogs. Is there anyway to use this extension on different weblogs?

Thanks, BJ
