Color-Code Upcoming-Event Module [Solved]

Hi there, I have been playing with the php to make it a bit more "custom" and to achieve my goal...

everything seems to be ok, until I hit the wall...

what I want is to add a background color to the Title of the event or to the category of the X event...
now the color has to be the one that has been assigned to the category in the back-end so when the module display the information each event can have the background color of each category in question.
Event X
Category A

Event F
Category B
I did a search and I find this
joomdonation.com/62-general-discussion/1...eb_events.html#16723

but still, I can get the value of color_code
all i get in result is "Array", of curse I only used the info on the link as a reference in order to get what I want but I can't

From mod_eb_events
file mod_eb_events.php
Line more or less 38: I added the color_code as follow
then after "$itemCategories[] = ..." I added the following
"$colorBG = $row->color_code;"

then on file tmpl/default.php
I added just an echo as follow
but before that and before I came to your website I did a hundred more combinations and nothing worked...
I wanted to do it on my own, but after one day looking for a solution... I guess, I'm just tired...
I'm not a programer or anything, I'm just want to learn...

So how can I get the category color assigned on the back end?
once I get the color_code value, I guess I can apply the code to anything I want...
something like
<td <?php echo 'style="background-color:#'.$color.'";' ; ?>>
or
<span <?php echo 'style="color:#'.$color.'";' ; ?>>
I want to use this value for
mod_eb_events

Thank you! for taking the time..

Hi

There are small mistake in your code (maybe you were tired). Please follow the instructions below :

1. Get this file, unzip it, upload t0 modules/mod_eb_events folder .

2. In the file modules/mod_eb_events/tmpl/default.php, to get color code for each event, simply use :

3. With the given color code, I believe you can do what you want .

Hope this help .

I can hug you right now! lol :laugh:

It's working! just like I wanted!

I can't thank you enough.

Some how, I knew I had to read the $row, I just didn't know how to do it... I was going mad, reading over and over the code..

I think that by using the same technique, I can modified the mini-calendar... maybe not... who knows... I'll give it go and see what happen...

Thank you!!!!!!

Great it works for you. Hope you love the extension .

If you have few minutes, could you please help me by giving Events Booking a 5 stars rating and a nice review at extensions.joomla.org/extensions/calenda...s-registration/13701 to support my development !

Hi Tuan, I was going to open a new topic but I'm not sure if it will be appropriate since it'll be related to color_code.

This time the file in question is:

com_eventbooking / views / category / tmpl / default.php

Line 87 or 88 more or less:
Tag: <h3>
which is the Event title

I already manage to display "Deposit Amount" for each event, also, at each event has to display a generic message, with some data from the event, I got that done no problem.

But for some reason that color_code keeps playing hard to get...


I know that the helper.php already has the color_code, and it's been used at
calendar / tmpl / default.php

but if I try to use it at the
category / tmpl / default.php

it just doesn't work...

if you have some time to help me with that please.

I'd love to have the "color_code" at:
category / tmpl / default.php

Thank you!

Hope this help !
