I want to use the float theme for menu items with the category view, but I don't have an option to select the float theme like in the day view. I can only choose from the 5 standard theme's.
If I look into the folder com_events/views/float there seems to be a cat folder, suggesting float should work with categories. Am I missing something here?
This is not currently implemented - the day, week, month and year views use the date range code to deliver the float results.

I will look at what is possible for the category view which uses different code and report back in the silver member forum

And can you please make the float theme language independent? At the moment it has hard coded English strings all over the place…

We are using language strings but unfortunately we were not loading the language files!!

If you add this code



$lang->load("files_jeventsfloatlayout");

At line 40 of components/com_jevents/views/float/helpers/floatviewhelperheader16.php after 


$lang = Factory::getLanguage();

It should allow you to pick up the translation for the float theme

p.s. This is included in the next release.

What I'm seeing is that there are 5 html files in the day view that have hard coded English text. Not sure how this can be made language independent.

Ah - you mean the 'defaults' folder under the float theme view?

These are templates for the custom layouts - if you use the layout editor in JEvents you can localise these strings.
