Event is a free, open source, event manager that sits on top of the Croogo content management system for PHP, released under [MIT License].
It is powered by CakePHP MVC framework.
- Apache with mod_rewrite
- PHP 5.2 or higher
- MySQL 4.1 or higher
- Croogo 1.5 or higher, (core features validated on Croogo 2.2.2)
- Upload the .zip file through Croogo's extension manager.
- Extract the archive. Upload the content to your Croogo installation in the ./app/Plugins/Event directory.
# git clone https://github.com/thoth/event.git ./app/Plugin/Event - visit Croogo's extension system to "activate" the plugin.
- Add the AdminExtras theme and set it up using your croogo settings Site.admin_theme to have a uniform calendar over croogo
- Optionally install the Croogo Assets plugin (https://github.com/xintesa/Assets) to add assets to your event
- From a node admin add/edit page you will have a new tab "Event".
- Add a start (and end date if appropriate; otherwise leave blank)
- Save as normal
- Event will appear by default on a calendar at //your-site.com/events
- Alternatively upcoming and old events will respectively be shown in a listview at //your-site.com/events/overview and //your-site.com/events/old_events
- Event data will also prepend using the beforeNodeBody() function in the helper
- You can also access a list of upcoming events by splicing the following into textareas that accept it (e.g. Node.body and Block.body)
[e:upcoming plugin="Event"]as Node.body does not seem to accept an element right now, a block will be created on activation which can be used in Node.body [b:upcoming-events] You can obviously alter the block to use the upcoming-full element instead of the upcoming element. - If you've installed the optional assets plugin as well, then you can select a FeaturedImage for your events which will be displayed nicely in the list view
