Today I had a problem for a customer project. I can’t show you a demo or something else at the moment, but I will do this later… At the moment I can show you only a screenshot:

EventList with a view for monthly events

I have to show the event in a Joomla with the great component EventList. The problem is that the component can’t show all events within a month, e.g. all events in April 2011.

So I started to take a look on the things EventList can do and saw that it can show events today and the next x days. Great :-)

Next step was that I copied the view files and changed a little the information within it, so that I have the possibility to add a new menu entry with a start and end date.

Then I saw that I need to add some information in the router.php in the root of the component for “month”.

At least I need to create a model for month data.

Finished :-)

The result is a set of files which were changed and tested on my development environment.I uploaded the files to our company server: http://www.conlabz.de/component/rokdownloads/downloads/code/joomla/9-patchel

Please backup your existing installation before you uplaod the files. Best way for upload is via FTP.

Let me know if you find something to do better or know something similar (I havn’t found anything :-) )

UPDATE: Please note, that an event must have a start and an end date otherwise the view is not working.
