Events - Adding Multiple Dates


Suggestions

AndyF:Can't get end date to appear in the list of events (or on calender . . . which would be great). Yes, I could put the date range in the title of the event but it is nice to have the end date show BELOW the start date as well.

I really don't think it's confusing for people with the extra end day box . . . in fact it seems more confusing without it if they know that it is a multiple day event. (Everytime you book a hotel stay, you have a calendar with a start & end date with the results showing afterwards).

It will appear in the list, but you need to show me what you have tried (like I outlined above)

Thanks!

Ningja skin update


Installation and Configuration

These are all template changes, so using the compare tool you should be able to see the differences between the templates.

Hope this helps!

Genosis Query

I keep getting "connection reset" almost everytime I try to load your site, so something is up with the hosting.

I'm clicking on "trees" in the top menu, then selecting a tree.

Ceri Shaw:No....not since I made Prof Twaddle default. Maybe I need to clear cache and log out again?

yeah you can try that - I'm seeing both your trees from my end.

Hope this helps!

Images and Galleries - Don't understand the functionality


Installation and Configuration

The album names are not included in the JSON data from a Ning 2.0 exported site, so I don't believe they have ever been there. Whether or not that is "on purpose" by Ning I don't know.

Events - Adding Multiple Dates


Suggestions

Strumelia:I see. On my JR Events page, I only see the one single start date. But are you saying that's only because these events were imported from the ning archive, and that future events would have start and end dates SHOWING if user puts them in when creating an event?
Guess I need to create a new sample test event to see. :)

No - what I'm saying is that for a multi-day event, I don't think you really need to have the "end date" be a form field. Since when an event is created the "details" of that event are going to be entered - i.e.

"this years festival runs from Friday the 1st through Sunday the 3rd" ...

So there's no specific field for "end date", but since there's details being entered about it anyway I just don't believe it is going to matter. Something that is really important is that the more form elements you have in a form, the more confusing it is for someone to use the form, which is why I recommended waiting until your users actually asked for it before adding.

But it's up you - that's just my 2 cents.

Yes - you would follow the guide I outlined above if you want to do it on your site.

Hope this helps!

Ningja skin update


Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Okay then, my next act is to clone my skin.

Sounding all scientifical and such.

On my third cup of coffee sitting in a local coffee shop watching it snow. [grin]

I want some snow here. I'm north of Seattle and we still have got nothing this year. I was in Leavenworth WA a month ago and we got 6 inches of snow which was nice. I'm not a big fan of the gray and short days - if it's going to be dark and gray, give me snow all winter long...

Events - Adding Multiple Dates


Suggestions

Yeah - if you see your list there, the date on the LEFT is the start date, and the start and end dates are show on the right of the image, where the event details are.

This is exactly how Jamroom's would work right now if your users just add the event details into the event details section (which I would assume they would do).
