Eventlist Venue Comments

[stevenator]

I'm trying to allow users to post comments on Venues from Eventlist.  (PS: Eventlist now has a fix for the newest version of JComments integration  )  I see that when i go to edit venue from eventlist there is COMMENTS ON and COMMENTS OFF Buttons on the bottom coming from JComments. If you click them it inserts  {jcomments on} and  {jcomments off} tags in the venue description but then eventlist on the front end reads them as plain text not a tag. Was this intended to allow comments for venues? Or am i just not using this function correctly? Any Ideas how i can let users comment venues? If anyone has any info please let me know and thanx in advance

Can you show me on screenshot place where are you want see comments? I'm download EventList 1.0b for J1.5 but don't see any detail  page for Venues...

Using the normal Eventlist integration commets go here, where the event is. (BLUE) With the venue details on the bottom.



But when you go the the actual Venue You can't leave a comment. (red) My site is about Clubs/Bars/Venues ect ect and it's more important for people to be able to comment and rate the locations than just the event. When the event is over it's gone get removed but i want people's comment to be there for the venue  I've been digging around this for a while with no lick.
I thought maybe making an "article" about each venue manually but then users won't be able to submit venues and it's going to be a real pain making 500+ Listings and keeping them updated.

Ok, try this:

1. Open file /components/com_eventlist/views/venueevents/tmpl/default.php
2. Find lines (at the bottom of file):

Code:

<p class="copyright">
<?php echo ELOutput::footer( ); ?>
</p>

and insert before:

Code:

<?php
if (file_exists(JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_jcomments'.DS.'jcomments.php')) :
require_once(JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_jcomments'.DS.'jcomments.php');
echo JComments::showComments($this->venue->id, 'com_eventlist_venue', $this->escape($this->venue->venue));
endif;
?>

p.s. in future: dont post so big screenshots
