Event detail not showing

Ah - I didnt. I can see a rewrite rule in the nest example - I thought the event.php was my detail page so I added RewriteRule ^events/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/$ /events/event.php?event=$1 [L]

Its a bit better than before but not right.

In the nest demo, what is the detail page behind the events?

Thanks - that made sense - but I'm still having problems.

My event/index.php page looks ok, but when I click on the even to see the detail, it takes it down a directory level and none of my links work (although I can see the event detail now).

In blog, I have an index.php and when I click on the blogs listed, it takes me to post.php?... (which has the right links) and all works fine (without the need to change the .htaccess file)

I assumed in event, the index.php listing would take me to event.php?... - again without having to change htaccess. However, since it goes to index.php/slug directly, the links dont work (as they are coded for the index.php level).

I realise the nest example may be different (with its if statement displaying either the listing or the event) but I cant get the event example pages to display the detail either so I must be missing something else?

Well https://www.pour.it/events/index.php takes me to https://www.pour.it/events/2015-04-18-testing-event/

which ties in with my template : <p><a href="/events/<perch:events id="eventSlug" />/" class="read-more">Read More »</a></p>

But I cant see what .php file the detail is displaying on - it isnt events/index.php as the links dont work on the detail page (the event info is correct, its just the css links etc that are at the wrong level)

BTW - the events/index.php example didnt take me anywhere when I clicked on it - it just seemed to reload the index.php file. As does my listing on my homepage :https://www.pour.it/

Yes! Its not working yet (I ticked completed to this by mistake).

Hi Drew

I really appreciate you looking at this - its driving me mad! I dont have any problem with the gallery or blog apps, but although I can get the listings and calendars working, I cant see how to get them to link to a detail page.

I have 2 ways I've tried to create a detail page - the first is as per my understanding of the nest demo - ie event/index.php has an if statement to display either the event or the listing. The other is my specific event-detail.php page which is just meant to display the event.

The main problem I see is that the slug is not getting populated.

So I have reloaded the examples to see if I can get these working (overwriting my version of event/index.php).

As a general point, one thing I'm really struggling with is working out which event template goes with what - I cant see this anywhere in the documentation but maybe I'm missing it. I end up having to add headings to each template and see what turns up.For example basic-listing.php has perch_events_listing() which doesnt give much away - I know now it uses event-day.html but only from reading all the event entries in the forum - not the event documentation.

I would expect the events in basic-listing.php to use event-day.html to display events which can be clicked on to display event.php and display information using event-detail.html.

The example event-day.html has <a href="<perch:events id="eventURL" />"><perch:events id="eventTitle" /></a></span> but this doesnt take me anywhere.

So I have a new version of event-day.html with <a href="event.php?s=<perch:events id="eventURL" />"><perch:events id="eventTitle" /></a></span> but that gives me a blank slug : https://www.pour.it/events/event.php?s=

I have seen from other forum entries, that changing 'value'=>perch_get('s') to to perch_get('event') helps with a missing slug - but its not clear to me where I should change this on the example files which dont use custom templates.

Am I totally missing how this works?

BTW : what i had done in my version is set out below - the links wont work as I have now updated events directory with the example files again on the live server - In summary I have 3 instances of listings/calendars - This is what I have :

Home page - uses custom_listing_day.html

<?php perch_events_custom(array( 'filter'=>'eventDateTime', 'match'=>'gte', 'value'=>date('Y-m-d'), 'count'=>10, 'sort'=>'eventDateTime', 'sort-order'=>'desc', 'template'=>'listing/custom-listing-day.html' )); ?>

The custom_listing_day template that comes with the events app has the link : <a href="<perch:events id="eventURL" />"><perch:events id="eventTitle" /></a> I have updated it to : <a href="events/index.php?s=<perch:event id="eventSlug" />"><perch:events id="eventTitle" />NEW</a> but when I click on an event in the listing on the home page, it takes me to https://www.pour.it/events/index.php?s= ie the slug is empty.

I also have event/index.php

This is meant to work as a listing page and a detail page - as per nest example. <?php if (perch_get('event')) { perch_events_custom(array( 'template' => 'events/event.html', 'filter' => 'eventSlug', 'match' => 'eq', 'value' => perch_get('event'), )); }else{ perch_events_custom(array( 'template' => 'events/listing.html', 'sort' => 'eventDateTime', 'sort-order' => 'ASC', 'filter' => 'eventDateTime', 'match' => 'gte', 'value' => date('Y-m-d 23:59:59'), )); } ?> The listing.html and event.html are from the nest example. It works fine as a listing page, but when I click on a listing, it take me from https://www.pour.it/events/index.php to for example https://www.pour.it/events/2015-03-22-minis-and-munchkin-training/

I also have a calendar page : https://www.pour.it/pages-cfpc/event-diary.php This uses event-day.html. Again the default template doesnt take me anywhere. I have tried updating it to point to my event/index.php and also the event-detail.php pages but neither gets passed the slug.

Yes I agree - and it is the Perch example files I have been using since last night (I overwrote my nest examples).

With the Perch example files I have remove the htaccess rewrite rule (added earlier in this thread) (still not sure why i need this when i dont for gallery and blog).

Now when I click on an event in https://www.pour.it/events/basic-listing.php it takes me to https://www.pour.it/events/event.php?s=

I thought the problem was that s= blank, so I manually added the event - ie https://www.pour.it/events/event.php?s=2015-03-22-minis-and-munchkin-training/ but that doesnt show anything either.

Have I set up the example incorrectly?

Yes sorry - I still had a custom event-day.html. I have removed it now and its all as per demo.

Now when I click on and event in https://www.pour.it/events/basic-listing.php it takes me to the same page : https://www.pour.it/events/basic-listing.php.

Event-day.html has <span class="event summary <perch:events id="category_slugs" />"><a href="<perch:events id="eventURL" />"><perch:events id="eventTitle" /></a></span>

BTW I'm using Perch Events 1.9.2 on Perch 2.8.2. I see it has just gone up to 2.8.3 so I will update incase that helps.

I'm on 2.8.3 now, but it didnt help!

I put it int event-day.html. There is output for each event. This is the first one :

ID Value perch_page_path /events/basic-listing.php image
eventID 10 eventTitle Test Fri Am eventSlug 2015-03-20-test-fri-am eventDateTime 2015-03-20 07:27:00 eventDescRaw Test eventDescHTML
Test

eventDynamicFields {"image":null} day 20 perch_image category_slugs
category_names
eventURL
perch_item_first true perch_item_last true perch_item_zero_index 0 perch_item_index 1 perch_item_rev_index 1 perch_item_rev_zero_index 0 perch_item_odd
perch_item_count 1

Its working!! Hooray.
Not sure whats changed - but fab its all ok.

(The setting was /events/event.php?s={eventSlug} - i didnt change this)

Thanks so much.
