I have notices that all articles in the Event category appear with the “Create Date” on the timeline and the home menu upcoming event slider.
Suppose i want to put an event that is coming in on 25th December 2013 and some more which are in 2014; how do i get them on timeline and the content slider?

Hi

The solution is giving to the articles belonging to the events category a custom order and then from ja_content slider module choose the Sort Order By = Ordering

Hi,
I did what you instructed.

Here what i have:
=> this fixed the home page content slider. 🙂 =>

But if you look at my “Event” menu (the category blog layout) i am not able to get this page working properly.
& ==>

The event page still shows content based on the date of Publishing rather than the date of creation or the ordering as in the case of the content slider where its showing the “date of creation” in the box.

My event menu settings are: <blockquote>Please refer the next post as i can only attach 5 images</blockquote>

Hi,

It seems to be a bug of this template.

Try to open file “templates/ja_muzic/html/com_content/category/event.php”

Find :


$itemcreated = JHtml::_('date', $item->publish_up, $this->params->get('group_by'));

then change to


$orderdate = $this->params->get('order_date');
$itemcreated = JHtml::_('date', $item->$orderdate, $this->params->get('group_by'));


Regards

Hi dpchap015,
<blockquote>Also, is there any way to get years listed along with the date and month in the Content Slider here: Attachment 30282

You need customize it. Open file “templates/ja_muzic/html/mod_jacontentslider/default.php”, find code


<div class="created-date">
<span class="day"><?php echo JHtml::_('date', $contn->created, JText::_('TPL_DATE_FORMAT_DAY'));?></span>
<span class="month"><?php echo JHtml::_('date', $contn->created, JText::_('TPL_DATE_FORMAT_MONTH'));?></span>
</div>

:

And you can add year as


<span class="year"><?php echo JHtml::_('date', $contn->created, 'Y');?></span>


Regards.
