How to customize Basic module (Upcoming events)

8 years 9 months ago

#23104

Hello everyone!

I have just launched recent version of JEM on a new website.

I would like to do a small customization in the Basic module I use to show few Upcoming events.

By default, it shows for each item:
- 1st row - Date
- 2nd row - Title with link to the event

Screen of current state is in the attachments. Live version on www.pmi.cz

I would like to customize it in the way that each item contains:
- 1st row - Title with link to the event
- 2nd row - Date | Category with link to the category

I am not very experienced with this kind of adjustments. Would any of you be able to advice me in which file I can adjust the template of the module / override it and eventually also how can I get the category name + link there?

Any advise would be much appreciated.

Thank you!
Tomas

your first question is easy to solve:
change in modules/mod_jem/tmpl/default.php the code inside the <li >...</li>

Code:

<li class="jemmod<?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx'); ?>">
		<?php if ($params->get('showtitloc') == 0 && $params->get('linkloc') == 1) : ?>
			<a href="<?php echo $item->venueurl; ?>" class="jemmod<?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx'); ?>">
				<?php echo $item->text; ?>
			</a>
		<?php elseif ($params->get('showtitloc') == 1 && $params->get('linkdet') == 2) : ?>
			<a href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>" class="jemmod<?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx'); ?>">
				<?php echo $item->text; ?>
			</a>
		<?php
			else :
				echo $item->text;
			endif;
		?>
		<br />
		<?php if ($params->get('linkdet') == 1) : ?>
		<a href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>" class="jemmod<?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx'); ?>">
			<?php echo $item->dateinfo; ?>
		</a>
		<?php else :
			echo $item->dateinfo;
		endif;
		?>
			
	</li>

then you will have it, but better to copy this as override. Then you'll have it even after an update.

The second question is not easy to solve:
the category and venue is not asked in the helper file. So they can not be shown. There should be something changed in this flle.
