We are in the midst of wrapping up development on a site that is using the Event Calendar/Reg module. The client desires a couple of changes that we are unable to get resolved. I am putting this out there for options/solutions.

1. What options can be made to display the entire "Description" of an event in the pop up? And/or along with that, suppressing the "More" link optionally? Basically, 80-90% of our client's events have limited "detail" so they want the option to display it all in the pop up versus going to a stark detail page.

2. We have placed an instance of the module on the homepage in the sidebar to list daily events (limited listing with date and event title). The event title links to the "detail" of an event. Questions: a) is there a way to optionally pop up the event description from this view AND b) when going to the detail from this homepage instance, the "return" points back to the main instance of the calendar ... it would be nice to optionally direct the "return" function, in this case, pointing it back to the homepage where the instance of the calendar module w/daily listing lives.

In both cases I guess we can buy the source code and attempt to dig in and try to customize the module, however that might be extensive. I was hoping that these options are addressable without going the source route or if possible, can I communicate offline with someone at InvenManager about our specific customizations? Time is of the essence on this particular project.

Thank you!

Hi,

1. go to View Options, change the Calendar view popup template token [DESCRIPTION] to [FULLDESCRIPTION], remove the [READMORE] token.

2. a), I am not sure what you want the popup to display. b), yes, you can change the list view template for that module and modify the [RETURN] link, to "javascript:history.go(-1);" or you can hardcode the home page link to a hyper link in that template if you want.

Feel free to contact support @ invenmanager.com if you need additional help.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply. The information provided has helped us out!

In response to the confusion on "2. a), I am not sure what you want the popup to display." Here is some clarification.

We are using the Satellite module on the homepage. What I think I am asking is for a "Tool Tip Template" to be added to the satellite module as a view option for the item - if that makes more sense. That way we can list the event and the end user can just pop up the tool tip right from the homepage satellite, never leaving the page. They could also click register from the same pop up too. That would streamline end-user flow.

Thank you!

Actually you can but it a little advanced configuration.

You can refer to the Calendar View on how to achieve that, if you are talking about the same popup there.

Thank you for the reply. We had looked at the calendar view, but could not determine how to achieve the similar function in the satellite module whereby clicking on an event title pops up the tool tip rather than going to the event detail page. We would need further clarification on the advanced configuration. Thank you.

Todd,
