on admin panel, there's a way to insert a description for each category -> some text, url or image:D.

But how to display this description on events list or in details event?

thanks

Florent

Hi Florent,

Well, actually that wont be showing in frontend, that category description only for admin references/note not for public.

thank you

hum... are you sure ?

on List categories module (file /modules/events/categories.php), using <?php echo JText::_( $this->escape($row->description) ); ?>, i m able to display the description.

but trying to do the same thing on file "events.viewevent.php", nothing works:

• <?php echo JText::_( $this->escape($row->description) ); ?>
• <?php echo $this->escape($category->description) ; ?>
• <?php echo $event->getDescription(); ?>

Hi,

You need create new function for this inside this file components/com_community/tables/event.php

public function getCategoryDesc() {
        $category = JTable::getInstance('EventCategory', 'CTable');
        $category->load($this->catid);

        return $category->description;
    }

<?php echo $event->getCategoryDesc(); ?>

that's great !
Hope this function to be include on next jomsocial update !
Hope it will help other jomsocial players :D

thanks

You're welcome :)
