Event field information repeated

niklasalbin

Hi, I'm trying to replicate the JA Conf demo site, creating extra fields to add info to my events (e.g. date, time, location, etc.)

I've created the fields and populated them in the relevant event articles. But this information appears on the page repeated, both as two repeated rows, and the values repeated for each row.

See here [http://revolutionfestival.co.uk/index.php/13-themes/historical-materialism/2-rosa-luxemburg-and-the-1918-german-revolution] for example.

How can I remove the repetition?

Also, the date calendar format being used is not the one I want. Where can I set the date calendar format?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Could you grant the super admin permission for the provided account?

Hi saguaros - you should have super admin permission now. Do you know what the cause of this event field information bug is?

saguaros - PS: I've recreated all my urls, so you can now find examples of the event field info bug here:

This is a weird issue, let me check and will get back to you soon.

Thanks saguaros . Let me know how you get on ASAP if you can. This is the only major bug on my website, which I'd like to launch once this problem is resolved.

saguaros - problem has been solved. The fields were being applied both to a category and the subcategories, so were being displayed twice (once for the category and once for each subcategory). Removing the field from the parent category solved the problem.

saguaros - I have one extra problem on this question:

I would like to change the date/calendar format displayed in the event field info. I've tried using the language override, but the output doesn't correspond to the format I've used.

Do you know how I can change the displayed date/calendar format in the event field info to the desired format?

saguaros - and now I've got a bigger problem with the field info: the field info tab in the article editor has disappeared, so I can't add the event field info for my articles.

I don't understand where it's gone. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi saguaros - sorry to send so many messages. I've resolved all of the issues relating to event field info.

The solutions to my questions (for others who are interested) were:

1) Only apply the fields to the subcategories, and not also to the parent category. This avoids rendering the field info twice.

2) You can change the date format directly in the field render.php file, without using the language override.

3) Make sure all fields are set to Show On Both in the field options tab.
