Description
hi i'm trying to display the start date in de upcoming list view instead of the 'time left'.
i tried to work with a hook in
function framework_event_upcoming_item($node, $types = array()) {
$output = l($node->title, "node/$node->nid", array('attributes' => array('title' => $node->title)));
if (count($types) > 1) {
$output .= '<span class="event-nodetype">('. $node->event['node_type'] .')</span>';
}
$output .= '<span class="event-timeleft">('. $node->event['timeleft'] .')</span>';
return $output;
}but when i replace 'timeleft' with 'start' or 'start_utc' nothing gets displayed.
also tried to create new view but the i don't get any field with the start date.
any suggestions on any of these ways of solving the problem? thanks!

FOr performance reasons the upcoming events block does not fetch whole nodes, but only sceleton nodes.
If you want full nodes, you need to implekment hook_event_edit_upcoming and do a node_load in there.

i'm sorry but i don't know where to start with what you say. don't have to explain everything i think. just a hint of how to start. thank you very much for your help!
#3
can anyone help me with this? thank you.

Will have a look at it when I find the time. Always wanted the same changes ;-)
(Would be nice to have that as a configurable option in the module.)
For some documentation on implementing
hook_event_edit_upcomingyou might have a look at http://drupal.kollm.org/doxygen/_contrib/drupal-contrib-phpdoc/group__ev... .Frank

Hello,
In addition to your modification of the theming function you have to implement
hook_event_edit_upcomingin your module like so (as written in #1):<?php/**
* Implementation of hook_event_edit_upcoming().
*/
function upcoming_event_event_edit_upcoming(&$node){
$node = node_load($node->nid);
}
?>
That loads the full node object with all the attributes available.

I think that's enough info, thanks Frank!

An even simpler solution is using
$node->event_startinstead of$node->event['timeleft']infunction theme_event_upcoming_item()(http://www.drupalcenter.de/node/10643)

ok thank you very much.
this code works when applid in event.theme
function theme_event_upcoming_item($node, $types = array()) {$output = '<span class="date">'.date('d.m.Y', strtotime($node->event_start)) .': </span><br />'.l($node->title, "node/$node->nid", array('attributes' => array('title' => $node->title)));
if (count($types) > 1) {
$output .= '<span class="event-nodetype">('. $node->event['node_type'] .')</span>';
}
return $output;
}
but this code does not work in template.php (changes don't apply although i cleared cache)
function framework_event_upcoming_item($node, $types = array()) {$output = '<span class="date">'.date('d.m.Y', strtotime($node->event_start)) .': </span><br />'.l($node->title, "node/$node->nid", array('attributes' => array('title' => $node->title)));
if (count($types) > 1) {
$output .= '<span class="event-nodetype">('. $node->event['node_type'] .')</span>';
}
return $output;
}
and ireally don't see why it would not work. i'd rather not hack the module files.

sorry tried to change status to 'need more info'

The following code does work with my installation when put in template.php. Be sure to name the function according to your theme.
<?phpfunction YOURTHEME_event_upcoming_item($node, $types = array()) {
// Set locale
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'de_DE');
$output = l($node->title, "node/$node->nid", array('attributes' => array('title' => $node->title)));
if (count($types) > 1) {
$output .= '<span class="event-nodetype">('. $node->event['node_type'] .')</span>';
}
$output .= '<span class="event-timeleft"> '. strftime('%e. %b. | %a.', strtotime($node->event_start)) .'</span>';
return $output;
}
?>
You might also have a look at Can't seem to theme the events module output http://drupal.org/node/306497.
And if you are working with a subtheme of Garland you should read Garland overrides template with theme function http://drupal.org/node/295895 (might be a theme related problem).

PS:
Using
<?php ... ?>instead of<code>improves readability of your code snippets ;-)#12
i upgraded my theme (framework-garland based?) and rebuilt the layout. now it works (code i gave above works too), though i don't know what gave the error.
very much thanks everyone!
