Hi Levester,
Right now we dont have options like that in event, but we will improve our modules in version 4.1.. I hope we can make it in next mayor version.
thank you
It looks like this option definitely existed at some point. I attached the screenshot from your documentation of exactly what I need. Jomsocial Documentation Article (Latest Events) can be seen at: http://documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Latest_Events . In the screenshot is shows 2 tabs ('Details', 'Options'). I do not have either of those tabs in my Community - Events module. Is there away to make those tabs appear?
Seems this is a bug.. I will investigate it and report it
well, in version 4.1 we will re-create all modules, and we also will update the doc as well.
Wow Dimas, that sounds like that can take a long time before 4.1 arrives. Do you guys have an expectancy date for 4.1?
Is there a temporary solution I can use to make the latest events module show nothing but Featured items?
I really want to promote my site very soon, but I want to create and charge for V.I.P. memberships to clients who want to be placed in the Featured module in which I will have the module strategically placed in desired locations.
We dont have any date info for 4.1 release yet.
I am sorry, I dont see any code to show featured on module, but I suggest you create a specific event category for featured event, so you can filter by that category.. if filter by category that is possible by hacking this file modules/mod_community_events/mod_community_events.php find this code, add this code on line 40 :
$categoryIds = 'YOUR_CATEGORY_ID_FOR_FEATURED';
Although i'm fine with the hack, I just realized that if user's create an event then they have the option to just select Featured Event category and it defeats the purposed of making it a privilege. I tried to get around this by making the category with a blank titled but it looks inconsistent and leaves the potential for someone to figure it out. Also it leaves the event without category.
hi Levester,
Instead you create blank categroy, I prefer you fill it or change another name like "-nocategory-" as simple as that :D
thank you
Because any user that is going to create an event may not find the category specific to their needs, so they potentially will select "-nocategory-" or whatever. Seeing as how I would be using that category to list featured items, this is not what I want users to have access to.
