You need to modify a file called components/com_events/com_calendar_cell.php

i try to change this on events_calendar_cell.php. i try to add contact_info in my tooltip but it doesn't work. can please tell me what's wrong?

here is my code

// The one overlay popup window defined for multi-day events.  Any number of different overlay windows

// can be defined here and used according to the event's repeat type, length, whatever.  Note that the

// definition of the overlib function call arguments is ( html_window_contents, extra optional paramenters ... )

// 'extra parameters' includes things like window positioning, display delays, window caption, etc.

// Documentation on the javascript overlib library can be found at: http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/

// or here for additional plugins (like shadow): http://overlib.boughner.us/ [mic]



// check this speeds up that thing [mic]

if($publish_inform_title ){

	$tmp_time_info = '';

	if( $stop_publish == $start_publish ){

		if($start_time != $stop_time){

			$tmp_time_info = '<br />' . $start_time . ' - ' . $stop_time;

		}

		$publish_inform_overlay = '<table border="0" height="100%">'

		. '<tr><td nowrap="nowrap">' . $start_date

		. $tmp_time_info

		;

    } else {

		if($start_time != $stop_time){

			$tmp_time_info = '<br /><b>' . _CAL_LANG_TIME . ':</b>' . $start_time . '-' . $stop_time;

		}

		$publish_inform_overlay = '<table border="0" width="100%" height="100%">'

		. '<tr><td><b>' . _CAL_LANG_FROM . ':</b>' . $start_date . ''

		. '<br /><b>' . _CAL_LANG_TO . ':</b>' . $stop_date

		. $tmp_time_info. $contact_info ;

replace [color=#FF0000:2njqkks0]$contact_info[/color:2njqkks0] by [color=#00BF00:2njqkks0]$rows[$i]->contact_info[/color:2njqkks0]

similarly, can you tell me in which variable the location info is stored?? thanks..

$rows[$i]->adresse_info

thanks.. it worked!!

Hi

Can anyone tell me how to display the category in the tooltip ?

The variable name "adresse_info" does not work for me. Is it spelled correctly?

Many thanks for a wonderful component.

Does anyone have an idea how to replace rows with the end date and the time of the event with the text from the description?

Thanks in advance.

@andy - yes the name is spelled correctly - what does your code look like?

@rali - what have you tried? the code is fairly straight forward, it would be helpful to know where you're hung up.

Alan - many thanks for your reply. I must have been having some sort of senior moment, because it's working fine now!!

However, I have another couple of questions. How would I put the location info on a new line in the tooltip, possibly with the preceding caption "Location:" in bold like the other field titles? I have tried the php \n (newline) character but it seems to be being ignored. At the moment the tooltip is concatenating the location info straight after the time info without a space, which looks awful.

And how can I add the location info to the tooltip for *all* events, not just the multiday ones?

I should be very grateful for any help with these questions.

Kind regards

Andy

remember you're generating HTML with your PHP. HMTL ignores newlines. if you want a line break you need to output a <br/> tag.

regarding your second question - see the comments starting on line 124 of events_calendar_cell.php. That should get you started.

Many thanks for all your help Alan. I shall look into it.

Kind regards

Andy

I posted a solution that worked for me (Joomla 1.0.x with v1.4.2) below. You can use this for Extra Info, Contact & Location and follow principle for others.

Many thanks Arfon....I shall look into that.

Kind regards

OK....having displayed the location info in the tooltip with:

. $tmp_time_info. $rows[$i]->adresse_info;

...can anybody help me out by telling me exactly how I can insert a line break in this line of code to make the location info appear on a new line in the tooltip? Apologies for this, but php is not my first language.

Thanks a lot

Andy

Hi Andy

I'm no php expert but.....

You know where I have something like . '<hr />'

Then if you use . '<br />'

you should get a new line and you can use multiples if you wish i.e. . '<br />'. '<br />'. '<br />'

Cheers
Arfon

Cheers Arfon! I will give that a whirl.....

Many thanks

Andy.

right. To be clear concatenate the '<br/>' to your line of code (or where ever you want the line break)

. $tmp_time_info. $rows[$i]->adresse_info . '<br/>';

Ok, thanks Alan.

What I want to do is this:

. $tmp_time_info. '<br/>' $rows[$i]->adresse_info . ;

in other words put the break between the time info and the location info, to make the latter start on a new line......

...but I am getting errors.... <!-- s:cry: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt=":cry:" title="Crying or Very Sad" /><!-- s:cry: -->
