Customizing list of events based on event category

magostoni71

Hello,
I'm using yout List theme, and for events list page I will need to hide some html element based on event category.
For example, with events of a specific category I need to hide the part that shows event date and time:

<?php if ($config->getGlobal('event_date_show')) {
        echo '<div class="event-date-time">' . $eventTable->displaydatecolumn() . '</div>'
} ?>

Which is the best way to do this cuastomization? How can I get the category id of an event from this view? Is there any function that already get the category id?

Kind regards,
Matt

Hi magostoni71

Do you mean that you want to hide date for events from a specific category?

You can customize the layout file, I guess you're using 'List' theme so you can edit this file:

/components/com_dtregister/templates/list/views/event/list_row.php

Look for this line of code (approx line 132), change:

<?php if ($config->getGlobal('event_date_show')) {

to:

<?php if ($config->getGlobal('event_date_show') && $row->categoryId != 8) {

8 here will be the ID of the category that you want to hide date info
