Hello, display of events in ES Stream module is much more elaborated than in ES Events module, with image, number of attendees, views, share button, etc.
Is there a way to get the same level of details for the Events module as well?
Thanks.
Hi,

The module is supposed to be a simple display to show the upcoming events with the datetime only. You can customize if you want to @ /modules/mod_easysocial_events/

Hi, perhaps a better idea would be to work with the Stream module and enable some filters in its setup; depending on what the site owner wishes to do with ES (in my case, mainly an event management system), he could then use multiple instances of Stream module for different purposes; filters could apply to Stream type, but also to featured items, latest, popular, etc.
Any chance to see this happening?
Thanks.

HI,

I am a bit confused here. Are you referring to the Events module or the Stream module?

Hello, my first question was about the Events module to have a similar display as the stream module (when events are displayed).
Further to your answer, my suggestion was then about enabling some setup in the Stream module, for instance to select which app should be displayed (I'd like to focus on events only) but also featured items, popular (based on clicks/views), etc.
Hope this make things clearer.
Thanks.

Hi,

I see. I'm sorry but currently it not possible as the stream module currently works the same as "dashboard".

Hi, I read somewhere on the forum that streams were actually generated by applications; there must surely be a way to tweak a file somewhere to have only Events (app) displayed by the module?
Thanks.

Hello Bruno,

I am sorry for unfortunately currently stream module do not support to display only events stream. Take a look at this file 'JOOMLA/modules/mod_easysocial_stream/mod_easysocial_stream.php' at line 55:

$stream->getPublicStream( $total );


and if you change the above to:

$stream->get(array('clusterType' => SOCIAL_TYPE_EVENT, 'limit' => $total));


However, there will be issue on the stream 'load more' button as this button will retrieve all site streams
Unless you customise your stream module do not show the load more button, else the above hack will not work correctly.

Hope this help and have a nice day
Sam

Hi, thanks for the tip!
I'll post my suggestion in the new requirements area, as I believe this added flexibility might make ES even more powerful.
Thanks.
