Can I generate "today" or "tomorrow" date in URL? was created by Stephan Hodges
We have events that repeat every week, but from a different component (JEvent) because they have a way to put them on our front page (
hymcillinois.com/
) right side, showing events from "today" and "tomorrow".
We would like to have a link that automatically fills the correct date depending on if it's today or tomorrow. JEvent does this with a special parameter "$(today)$tomorrow)", similar to how php formats strings. Their documentation on this is : www.jevents.net/frequently-asked-questio...ustom-format-strings
Can we do this in Event Booking? I.E. get the url to fill in either today's date or tomorrow's date?
So, we have this code in JEvent which generates a link to the Event Booking calendar for a specific date.
url=index.php?option=com_eventbooking&view=calendar&layout=daily&day=${today}${tomorrow}&id=47&Itemid=2555]Go Register[/url
Embedded code here (view source to see it):
The "Go Register" link (above) generates this:
hymcillinois.com/programs/hatha-calendar...y=${today}${tomorrow }
If the user clicks on today (Jan 25th) we want
hymcillinois.com/programs/all-events-cal...daily&day=2021-01-25
But if they click on tomorrow (today is Jan 25th) we want
hymcillinois.com/programs/all-events-cal...daily&day=2021-01-26
Here's what the front page looks like (today, Jan 25th)

Are there any places where code could be added or someplace where a formatting option could be called to do this? Any existing settings?
Thanks for your time.
