Plugin "ListEvent for JEM" – fixed, adapted and extended

Dear JEM community,

As I'm not a programmer but I needed a fully functional content plugin like "ListEvent for JEM" – so I hired a developer and I'm excited to announce, that the plugin is now adapted for Joomla 3 and JEM 2.x.
The errors are fixed and I also added some features.

"ListEvent for JEM" is a plugin to display JEM events inside Joomla content (articles, custom modules (with "prepare content" = yes)) with help of the tag {listevents} and params.

Installation: just the regular "Joomla way".

Default parameters are defined in the plugin configuration and in the tag, they can be overridden with the following parameters: ('n' stands for a positive number, | divides options you can choose from = 'or')

For example:
type=1: Today
type=2: Upcoming events, incl. today
type=3: Upcoming events
type=4: Archived events
type=5: Newest events (events with the highest IDs)

max: max number of displayed events

cuttitle: Max. length of the title

noeventsmsg: message to be displayed, when there is no events

It is version 2.0, since there was a version 1.0 for good old Eventlist.

Please give me feedback, report bugs etc.

Have fun
Hekla

Edit: an updated version of the plugin is integrated in JEM 2.2.2 as "jemlistevents". So there is no need to download and install it separately.

English and German language files are included. If anybody wants to contrubute their language, I'm happy to inlcude it …

Hi Hekla,

at first thanks for your work.
Please find v2.0.4 attached I adapted some things after first tests.

• Please don't use setlocale() which may influence multiple sessions, depending on server (see PHP manual for details). Let JemOutput help instead. (This expects date formats as for PHP Date() instead of strftime())
• Don't lowercase parameters because date/time format tags are case sensitive.
• Always print td tags to keep table columns intact if some data is not present.
• Also I limited the plugin to com_content to prevent unexpected effects. Maybe there are more contexts we should allow...

There maybe some more improvements possible but for now I think it's working good.

Thanks Hoffi!

did you already implement these four changes?
As I'm not a coder myself, I just would have to hire one and give the work to him …

@Hoffi: Thanks for these changes

I would need it in cb groupjive events too. With your limitation it's not possible!
@Hekla: Are there other opportunities you need it ?
