Customize Module Display was created by wdollar
I need the output for the upcoming events module to be formatted / display the following:

City, State
Date
Location

I have located the template, but I don't know how to go about calling the location and echoing the city / state for output. I also need to know how to echo just the name of the venue.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi

You will need to modify several places to make it works as you want .

1. First, you need to open the file modules/mod_eb_events/mod_eb_events.php, look at line #6 and change the code to :
Code:
$sql = 'SELECT a.id, a.title, a.event_date, a.category_id, b.name AS category_name, c.* FROM #__eb_events AS a LEFT JOIN #__eb_categories AS b ON a.category_id = b.id LEFT JOIN #__eb_locations AS c ON a.location_id=c.id AS WHERE a.published=1 AND event_date >= NOW() AND (cut_off_date = "'.$db->getNullDate().'" OR cut_off_date >= NOW()) ORDER BY event_date LIMIT '.$numberEvents;

(You can just download the attached file here, unzip it and upload it to modules/mod_eb_events folder)

2. In the template file(which you found already), you can use the echo command to display any information you want :

$row->city for City
$row->state for state
$row->event_date for event date
$row->name for location name

(I assume that you know alitle about PHP code ) .

Please let me know if you need more help .

Regards,

Tuan

When I make that change, it returns

"There are no up-coming events"

This is vital to the project. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
