Layouts customization

I continue to edit the timeline template. I've tried the DB query that you gave me - it works fine, but I think that the code could be better if that DB query will be placed as an attribute for $event. Unfortunately, I can't find the file where $event attributes are described.
Is there any way to make attribute 'city' for $event?

And how can I get category and subcategory names and links for $event in timeline.php?

Hi Mike

In the new version 2.10.0 which I just released, it is easier to access to the data without having to write $query in the layout. Basically, you can use the following variables:

$event->categories contains all categories of the event

$event->location contains location data, so you can get location city using $event->location->city, $event->location->state

For full change logs, please see joomdonation.com/forum/events-booking-ge...-released.html#86272

Super! Thanks a lot!

And one more thing...
I've added some language constants for the template - e.g. discount alert "Discout now!" etc. Is it possible to move it to separate file for I could save it in case of EB upgrade without text editing of *.com_eventbooking.ini?

Hi Mike

Any new languages items you added should still be there after the update. So you should not have to worry about it

But to be safe, you should make a backup of that file before upgrading as well

After upgrade to 2.10
Timeline layout: prints only word 'Array'

Unfortunately even Translation editing from backend of EB usually kills all my added language constants.
Of course I use backup file, but it's not effective to manually restore it every time

Oh, maybe something with permission of language file and it causes the issue (not how the extension is designed to work)

Could you please help changing permission of the language file to 777 and change it again first ?

And in case you want to be safe, you can use Joomla language override docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Language_Overrides_in_Joomla

No, the problem is not in permissions.
I mean - I add some new entries by editing the language file manually with text editor and upload it by FTP.. It works.
After it I go to EB Backend/Translation, chose my language... and even if I don't make any changes and exit by 'cancel' button - all my additional entries are lost after it.
Unfortunately, that's how it works.

It should help. Thanks, I'll use it.
But you need to fix this issue - it's abnormal.
