sadikb submitted a new resource:

Widget Framework Upcoming XenAtendo Events Widget (version 1.0.0) - Upcoming Events Widget for the XenAtendo Addon

This is something I made in last hour because on one XF site (not yet live), we are using the Widget Framework across the site and also Jaxel's XenAtendo. We needed a latest Events sidebar block for the Widget Framework so here it is.

Obviously this requires that you have both XenAtendo and Widget Framework installed.

Installation:

1. Upload files and import XML as usual. ...

Where do I put the listener.php and widgetrenderer.php file?

Just to clarify, is this for use with xfrocks' [bd] Widget Framework?

Thanks.

Hi, everything works, found only two problems:
1. The date is not showing in sidebar
2. The avatar is not catched (In the attached image, you see our standard "No Avatar"-Image)



Do you know, how to solve it?
Thanks for this addon!!

Greetings, Peter

Hi folks, strange, I did not receive any alerts for the replies. Didn't know people were having problems...

Where do I put the listener.php and widgetrenderer.php file?

Install this like any other Addon.

Just to clarify, is this for use with xfrocks' [bd] Widget Framework?

Thanks.

Yes.

Hmmm, can you share your site's link where you have this installed? I will need to look before I can fix it.

Hi Sadik,
the first thing works well, was my fault...
The second: You can see it live here
Thank you,
Peter

Yes.

Brilliant, thanks. Just installed it; went without a hitch, and it was really easy to implement.

One minor request - is there any way to restrict it to 1 column? At the moment it tries to cram 2 columns in, which means most of the information is truncated:



Any way of forcing it to just display one column?

Thanks.

Sorry, I'm normally so good at following installation instructions; don't know how I missed this! Just added the CSS code and it looks great now. Tried to re-rate the Add-on as 5 stars, but it says I can't because you've commented on my review.

Thanks very much; this is a great Add-on.

The sidebar widget now looks much better, but is missing one crucial element - the date of the event:



Any way I can add the Event Date, and remove the (+1:00 BST)?

Thanks.

 

[derandechser]

Hi, to your first question: you have to check the options in this addon. i didnt see it, too greetings, peter

 

[Edrondol]

I don't see it, either.

 

[derandechser]

klick the widget and check "Show Venue Information". After that, you can see the date. See here.

 

[Edrondol]

Well that's not intuitive at all. I mean, not every event is necessarily going to HAVE a venue! For example, the things I am scheduling are TF2 nights on our private server. No real venue assigned so I had it unchecked.

But I do thank you for the information and now it looks right.

Very nice renderer! Can I add it to [bd] Widget Framework list of renderer?

Actually, if you use the Upcoming Events Block in XenPorta (provided by Jaxel), you will see that it has the same set of options that I have given in this Widget. What I have done is actually, call XenAtendo's Model with the same options which XenPorta's block calls to avoid having to write a model myself. So everything is exactly as it is in the Xenporta block.
