second date/ time field for event and meeting

7 years 4 months ago

Hi there,

we use JEM for our local fire dept.
ff-ihrlerstein.de/

Sometimes, e. g. if there is a funeral we meet at the fire dept. and proceed to cemetery honarable funeral cortege.
So we meet one hour earlier at the FD before the funeral at the cemetery.

So a second time/ place entry would be great.
meeting point: today, 14:00 at FD (selected from locations-list)
date: today, 15:00 at cemetery (selected from locations-list)
But be noticed this should be just one event, not two events.

The same problem is when we meet and go by bus to an event 50 km away.

As simple solution you can use one of the custom fields to input additional data.
To not get "Custom Field 1: Meeting date: today 19:00h" in the frontend you can change the translation of "custom field 1" in you language.ini somewhere in the joomla files.

Thanks! Sorry for my late response. But I thought of a second entry like the native date/ time/ place that is already build in JEM. Because the above reported idea is without location selection. And also the modules for upcoming events should handle this informations. Maybe this could be a proposal for further development,

Hi, thank you for your proppsal. But I think this is too much special to integrate it. Try to find a way inside the given possibilities.

The usage of custom fields is an appropriate way.
But I do not think that a second entry is that special. This is very common for the management of groups e.g. sports teams that will meet before they go jointly to an event.
But maybe the groups are more diverse (spread over different towns), so that they meet at two (or more) places at different times...
Well, fortunately there are more than two custom fields. ;)
