JEvents Integration?

[NateM]

Surprised nobody mentioned this before. One of the most complete Joomla calendars out there. Would be great if it had an integration for JComments.

Ask JEvents developers to add JComments support in their component...

Well, after toying around for awhile, i managed to get it partially working. Perhaps someone here can help me the rest of the way. You can comment on events properly by placing this code:

Code:

global $mosConfig_absolute_path;

    $comments = $mosConfig_absolute_path . '/components/com_jcomments/jcomments.php';

    if (file_exists($comments)) {
      require_once($comments);
      echo JComments::showComments($this->evid, 'com_jevents', $this->processField("summary",""));
}

Into the details.php file for your calendar theme, (located in components/com_jevents/views/(Your Template Name)/icalevent/tmpl

However, while we can comment on these, and it is correctly associating the comments to the events, I cannot get the jcomments module to pull up the title of the event when commenting. There is something wrong with this field:

$this->processField("summary","")

I have tried probably 100 different variables hoping I could pull this up, but to no avail. The best I was able to muster was this, and a few other variables, which didn't show the event title properly, but didn't throw up errors, either. Can anyone help with this?

Is there a tag or something to put into the JEvents template for commenting to work with JEvents?

Plugin from JEvents developer:

Yes, this plugin works, so I can have comments for my events.

BUT:
When I go to latest comments the comments are there, but the link to the events doesn't work!
Is there a solution for this?
Because without this link working it is not worth showing the comments in the module.

Yeahh i have the same problem can anybody fix it? it would be so great

I'm also for it! Seems to be a popular demand  .

JEvents developer recommended using jxcomments, but since it's not free  I'll stick with the otherwise excellent jcomments. That's what he advised then:

the way jxComments works is that the plugin passes the link to jxcomments so that it has it stored.
It should be fairly easy for jComments to replicate.

I hope it would help.

Smart,

I would really like to have JComments working together with JEVents.
JEvents has already a plugin but as you can read here the link shown in the comments does not work. JEvents developer says this is a JComments problem.

So where to start? Will it be possible to get both components working together?


Thanks in advance,

JEvents developer says this is a JComments problem.

JComments require additional plugin to build correct links to commented objects. All info about plugins available here: JComments Developer's Guide. I've already write to JEvents author and I hope we'll create such plugin in nearest time.

[TopCop]

That sounds fantastic!
Thank you very much!

Great news! How is it going so far?

[smart]

I've contacted with JEvents' author but at this moment this problem isn't resolved. I've found some problems in current JEvents integration and didn't found any solution yet. But I'm going to make alternate integration with this extension.

[TopCop]

Smart,

that would really be great!
Hope it will work!

Thanks in advance,

Smat,

I do not want to bug you, but are there any news about this?

There are many users (I know from the JEvents Forum) who would love to see Jvents and JComments working perfect, including the links to JEvents.
