Hello,

When you try to edit one of the articles in the event category you have a tab that stay event info (see 1.png) with some custom fields like speaker or sponsor and then when you go on a particular event page you see a right column with with those custom fields see (2.png). My question is how do i add other field and make them appear on the right side of the event page. Thank you very much.

Also it seems that when i try to create a new article in the category event the event info tab does not come with the new article, i’m guessing i’m not doing something right. I know i cant simply copy the content that come with the quickstart but i want to know how to do it.

Thank you

Hi

To add new fields article Event type, you will need to customise the com_content to achieve that.

And if you want to add a new article for this Event type, please use the button ‘Add New‘ , not the default ‘New‘ button of Joomla: http://prntscr.com/7iblm7

Thank you Saguaros, if you don’t mind me asking, where do i permanently remove the numbers on top of the menu items, the previous forum tread about was not clear on where to find the css file to remove it from, i did it in asset but they came back for some reason.

Thank you.

‘asset’ folder holds the optimized css/js files only, pls DON’T add your custom code there.

You can create a new css file called custom.css in this directory: root/templates/ja_charity (your default template)/css/ and add your custom css code into this new file.

For example, I try to add a new field called Director for event article.

Try this way:
– Go to file: /root/templates/ja_charity/contenttype/types/event.xml
Add a new field:


<field name="ctm_director"
type="text"
default=""
label="PLG_JACONTENT_TYPE_DIRECTOR_LABEL"
description="PLG_JACONTENT_TYPE_DIRECTOR_DESC"/>

http://prntscr.com/7iq02h

– Go to file: /root/templates/ja_charity/html/layouts/joomla/content/item/event.php
Load the new added field in the right side of event by adding this snippet of code:


<div class="t3-module module director">
<div class="module-inner">
<div class="module-ct">
<strong><?php echo JText::_('Director: '); ?> <i><?php echo $item->params->get('ctm_director'); ?></i></strong>
</div>
</div>
</div>
