Introduction¶

Users manual¶

In this sysfolder (Mode: Web->List ) create new records for your categories, locations and then events.

On a page include the FE-Plugin 'Event Board' german 'veranstaltungsanzeige' and choose the events sysfolder as startingpoint. Choose infinite at Recursive.

Insert your modified template file into a folder under fileadmin.

if you want to show old events too, check “Show all events”

if this plugin should serve as a teaser click “show more-Link”

Link to Event page: page id of the target page (a page with an other kb_eventboard plugin in SingleView mode!)

show images (default checked) To show eventimages

show all images (default checked) show all images → you can configurate the image width/height by typoscript

Adminstration¶

Configuration¶

• Install the kb_eventboard extension
• In your root template at “include-static (from extension)” select the kb_eventboard TypoScript
• 
• You can configure the date formate for each viewmode by editing the typoscript setup file:
  • showStandard{date_stdWrap.strftime= %d.%m.%y#date_stdWrap.strftime= %A %d. %B %Ytime_stdWrap.strftime= %H:%M}showSingleView{date_stdWrap.strftime= %d.%m.%y#date_stdWrap.strftime= %A %d. %B %Ytime_stdWrap.strftime= %H:%M}showFrontpage{date_stdWrap.strftime= %d.%m.%y#date_stdWrap.strftime= %A %d. %B %Ytime_stdWrap.strftime= %H:%M}showContextCol{date_stdWrap.strftime= %d.%m.%y#date_stdWrap.strftime= %A %d. %B %Ytime_stdWrap.strftime= %H:%M}
  • You can config the event image height and width in the typoscript setup.txt
  • see:
  • eventpics
  • eventpicsSingle
  • eventpicsFrontpage
  • eventpicsContext

Configuration for realURL¶

If you want speaking links for your event you can integrate kb_eventboard into the realURL Extension config file i.e. realurl_conf.php

Here is a snippet of the realurl config file for kb_eventboard:

array('_DEFAULT' => array(######################################## T3-EXT: kb_eventboard#######################################'evt' => array(array('GETvar' => 'tx_kbeventboard_pi1[evt]','lookUpTable' => array('table' => 'tx_kbeventboard_events','id_field' => 'uid','alias_field' => 'eventname','maxLength' => 50,'addWhereClause' => ' AND NOT deleted'),),),// --- ADD MORE EXTENSIONS HERE ---),),

Extending kb_eventboard¶

Now it is possible to extend kb_eventboard by using hooks.

I have added 4 hooks for each view mode.

This are the hook userfunctions:

• showStandardMarker($marker, $row, $conf, &$object)
• showSingleViewMarker($marker, $row, $conf, &$object)
• showFrontpageMarker($marker, $row, $conf, &$object)
• showContextColMarker($marker, $row, $conf, &$object)

Update hint¶

If you update from earlier versions:

i have renamed 2 database fields:

Table tx_kbeventboard_category:

field “description” is renamed to field “categorydescription”

Table tx_kbeventboard_location:

field “description” is renamed to field “locationdescription”

So if you update from an earlier version, just rename your fields.

Known problems¶
