Events plugin

[zanetuck]

Hey guys... has anyone in the US been able to successfully change the dates to MM/DD/YYYY or Month Date, Year across this plugin?

see PHP: date - Manual http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php for format characters.

For example, the following line 638 in events.php:

Code:

$date_formatted = gmstrftime('%d %B %Y', $event_date);

Can be modified to:

Code:

$date_formatted = gmstrftime('%m/%d/%Y', $event_date);

Which will render in MM/DD/YYYY format (e.g. 11/12/2011) in the event list. You would use '%y' (lower case) to represent a 2 digit year format to render MM/DD/YY.

How about a way to display the time in the event description as xx:xx AM or xx:xx PM?

I'm having a couple of issues with the plugin.

1. When I try and include a photo in the content of the event, the photo always appears as a broken link. The photo is on my web server but it won't display. I've tried creating the HTML code and uploading it in the events.xml file and it still won't display. It worked before, because...

2. ...Because, in older events, the photo displays. However, when I try to go into those older events (or any event which has a photo included), it locks up the page in admin in Google Chrome. It will load in Firefox, however.

I'm having other Events-related issues, but I'm not sure they're because of the plugin, including:

1. We have a ticker that runs along the bottom of the website scrolling different events. The ticker is showing old events from last year instead of only future events.

2. We have a Scrapbook page which should function as a repository of old events sorted by year. However, it doesn't sort old events chronologically. And, oddly enough, the events that won't show pictures...show those pictures on the Scrapbook page.

Weird stuff...
