Event Ordering on Calendar

Is there a way to set the order in which the events are displayed on the calendar?

Hello Dan

How you want it to be ordered? I guess it should be ordered by date time of the event?

Actually, my client is hoping to be able to manually set the order. In her business, she offers multiple classes and specials (usually no more than three) on a daily basis. She wants her "specials" to appear on the calendar first, followed by one specific class, followed by the other.

Maybe this could be accomplished by adding an optional "sort order" field per event where we could enter 1 for the first event, 2 for the second, 3 for the third, etc? Days with a single event would default to 1 or the filed could be ignored.

Just a thought on how this might be able to be accomplished.

Hi Dan

Unfortunately, it is not possible. If you want, we can guide you edit code so that event in calendar will be ordered by ordering (which they can change order of events from backend)

Let us know if you want that so that I can send you the modified file

Tuan, that would be great, thank you. Do you require my email address? It's my first_name.last_name as it appears here @gmail.com

Hi Dan

You can get this file, unzip it, upload to folder components/com_eventbooking/model. After that, events on same date will be displayed in calendar using ordering

Hi, Tuan -

This sort of works. It uses the "ordering" field properly only for events that are at the same time, otherwise, it still uses the event time for ordering.

So if I have 3 events at 6pm and one event at 7pm, but I want to "feature" the 7pm event by having it appear first on the calendar, it doesn't work with ordering, because it's using the time of the event instead.

Hi Dan

I am sorry, there is a small typo with the code I modified. Please use this updated file, it should work

Tuan

Thanks, Tuan. This works.

Great. Thanks for confirming

Tuan
