Hello everybody!

I am currently designing the new Wegpage of my Dad's company. I am new to Joomla and especially JEvents, so I ran into some trouble while working with the Lastes Events Module!

I designed to Custom Format String to my needs and everything looks as I want it to be. But when I try to add a Custom Header or Footer to the Module the Format changes. Especially the separators are not shown anymore and the bootstrap-formatting is also not loaded correctly. I documented this with some pictures.
Same thing happens when I try it with the header.

I guess it is something obvious I am missing, so I would be glad if anybody could point out to me what I do wrong.

thanks in Advance
Mares
Hey Mares,

That sounds like an awesome project

Can you try adding just a <br> for the header too please? I think if I recall correct we expect there to be a header if the footer is set and vice versa.

Many thanks

If you remove the footer it reverts back is that correct? Can you then provide logins as that does seem like a bug, to the Site Details (Private) please.

Many thanks

Hey Tony!

Yes that is 100% correct, if both fields (header and footer) are empty it looks nice, once there is any content in one of them, it gets messed up.

Unfortunately I cannot provide you this information, since I am developing on XAMPP/Apache local server.
Do you think that the issue is in some sort related to the XAMPP/Apache thing?

I remember now, it's because it's a wrapper field not just a input field.

So in the top enter:

<div class="mylatestwrapper">

in the bottom enter:

<br> Your text here.
</div>

That should work for you.

Hi Tony!

Although your solution didn't work for me, it certainly gave me the right hint, of what is going wrong. This is clearly a bug on the side of the Module.

What i figured out by comparing HTML Codes: When there is no Custom Header or Footer set, the Module formats its entries with a table. The definition of the table must be hardcoded within the module and gets overwritten once you set the header.
On the footer, the same thing happens => the closing HTML-Tags get lost.

So my solution: I copied the HTML code of the working, well formated version into the Custom Header/Footer fields and it worked.

The following code works fine (for me)

In the costum header field, type:

Add your Header-Text here <br>
<table class="mod_events_latest_table jevbootstrap" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
<tr><td class="mod_events_latest_first" style="border-color:#ccc">


and in the Footer:

</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>
Add Footer-Text here


I hope that helps at least somebody!
Thanks for the help,

Mares

Dear Mares123, thanks for the suggestion, this helped me a lot!
I was struggling to add a custom hyperlink below the events list, whcih kept breaking the layout.
Based on your code, I got it to work correctly.
