Hi,
We have several issues occuring with Events........
1) Event Summary is not being displayed in Event Details or anywhere we can find - where is it disappearing to?
Hi, Susan.
1. Event summary is displayed in tooltip in Events module:
prntscr.com/4nwgz8
Event description is visible on Event page in Event details tab:
prntscr.com/4nwh5l
and also in backend:
prntscr.com/4nwhan
2. It's because there is no notification for "New Event activity" - any post (not comment) is an activity, (event activity, not group activity when you ask about group events). The only notification here is "New Comment on Your Event Activity" = Notification when user receives new comment on his or her event activity.It means that only AUTHOR/OWNER of certain activity will receive notification, NOT OWNER of event.
So It's not a bug but rather lack of certain feature.
3. This is a valid bug and I reported it to our developers.
4. You mean postbox doesn't appear unless group member participate event. I create a bug report for this issue... I think that "only responders can write in events' :NO" should also work in group events.
5. Yes, that's another bug, I'll report it too.
Dear Michal, I couldn't upload screenshots last night as the Jomsocial site was slow.
Regarding 1. Event Summary: Your screenshot shows the Event Title but not the Event Summary! Here are 3 screenshots showing what I mean. This is a bug.....I have tested it on your demo site as well and the Summary is nowhere!
However, even if Event Summary did show in Events Module, I think it is pretty stupid if it doesn't show in Event Details on Event Page as well? People aren't sure of the difference of what to write in Summary and what to write in Description, so some use one field and some use the other. It isn't clear to them that not everything will display on the Event Page? So PLEASE, when you fix the bug, make the Event Summary appear in Event Details on Event Page....!
Regarding 2. This is absolutely ridiculous!! This may not be a bug, but this is a functionality flaw! Who could logically think that Y should be able to get notification of a comment on their post, but X not be told about a post in their event? How can I get notification of New Event Activity on the list of things Jomsocial will bring out in the next release? Please don't tell me to put a feature request! There must be another way of Jomsocial deciding that a feature is needed - can you add it to a list......?
6. Please can you tell me - is there a way for the Event Admin to see who has responded Not Attending to an Event or Group Event, as they want to see this......., surely this should be logical?
I hope the developer can solve these bugs very quickly as we want to release our dev site as our latest site, but now we have Confirmed bugs.....
Finally, please, when you take screenshots can you use a selection so that you don't show everyone the web address! I think that should be standard practice!
I am looking forward to hearing from you!
Thank you very much...
Hi, Susan.
1. Please look closer to Events module here:
prntscr.com/4nwgz8
, you'll notice a dark tooltip over first event on the list - it says "Here is summary" :D Events page have description... is there a need to display both summary and description? Summar is just the same as description but in short words.
I'm pretty sure that PO will refuse to add it to event page. But here is a simple hack that allows you to display summary in event details:
Copy this file:
ROOT/components/com_community/templates/default/events.viewevent.php
to:
ROOT/templates/your-template/html/com_community (if you don't have "html" or "com_community" folders, feel free to create them)
edit file and after line 305 add this:
<?php echo CStringHelper::escape($event->summary); ?>
Ahhh, now we see the Summary if we hover!
The problem is that we have had 2 people post events in the last 24 hours who have put their Description in the Summary Box, and nothing in the Description Box...... They don't realise (and nor did we!) that the summary won't be displayed. So then they are confused/annoyed when no-one can see their Description. 2 people in 24 hours is 2 people too many! Surely the PO should realise that Jomsocial can improve from hearing about functions that the users find hard to use and implementing solutions.....?!!
So thank you very much for your hack to allow us to display Summary in Event Details....
I will create a post for 6, and we are very grateful indeed if you are spending your spare time on it! Very passionate about Jomsocial obviously!
And we will wait to hear the response to our 3 bugs!
Thank you!
Hi, Susan.
Regarding issue no. 4: as this is group related issue, there are too many conditions influencing this setting. So it will be not fixed with hot fix rather changed in next major release.
Regarding issue no. 5: this won't be fixed as post box is loaded through ajax script, so page needs to be reloaded. Bug report was rejected.
HI.
Regarding issue no. 3: please, make safe copy of this file:
ROOT/components/com_community/controllers/system.php
Then upload content of zip package to the same place. Then text if issue persist.
Hi, Susan.
Issue no.2 should be fixed in JomSocial 4.
You may test it in our Community.
