Is there a simple way to show that a regular venue is closed on a particular night?

Hello David,

So what you can do is have a custom field for closed or if no location output X. How's that sound?

Basically see how you have:

{{Location:LOCATION}}

We allow conditions like:

{{Location:LOCATION#%s# No value}}

So you can output some text of No Value if there is no location.

Many thanks
Tony

Hi Tony

Hmmm - I kind of get it and I think I'm partially there.

In the admin event entry information I set up a new radio field called "closed" with values "yes" and "no" the default being "no".
I then set all remaining fields not to show if the "closed" field was "yes". This simplified the entry part.

The location field isn't important and doesn't seem to show anyway. It's fair to say that 99% of events take place at the regular location, with the odd outdoor event once or twice a year.

Next I added the following at the beginning of the customised "List Row Detail" layout: {{Closed:Closed#%s, #}}. However, I still have to enter "CLOSED" as the Event Name for it to display.

CLOSED | Doors Open - 12:00AM | Programme: | Entry Fee: Closed; Members | More Details ...

You can also view this on the homepage (http://www.perthbluesclub.com)

Now all I need is to make sure that the CLOSED that is displays originates from the "closed" field so I don't have to enter it into the Event Name and also ensure that nothing else shows if that first field displays as "CLOSED", but I think the problem is that some of the info that displays is hard copy - see previous code sent.

Hope that makes some sense.

Thanks, David

Hello,

Ok so I've done this for you:

<font color="#124bff"><strong><span class="closed${Closed#%s#no}">CLOSED | </span>${Event_Name#%s | #}</strong></font>

and added:

.closedNo {display:none !important;}

To your JEvents Custom CSS.

That means CLOSED | Will only show to the user when the value = Yes to closed within the event :-)

Many thanks
Tony

Thanks Tony

That now gets the "Closed" to show OK when selected in the "Manage Events" page, but I am still getting the details that follow and which seem to be "Required" in the core form.

CLOSED | Doors Open - 12:00AM | Programme: | Entry Fee: 000; Members | More Details ... - the BOLD underlined part should not show when event is "Closed"

Had a bit of a scare at first with all the events showing CLOSED and even got a call from the President, but realised I had to add your new code into the custom layout for "List Events"

I'll keep trying to work it out - maybe if I can access the core form and change the required status of those fields.
Hmm [scratching head!!]

Regards, David

How do you even go about finding awesome recurve bows and to get an access to the core form btw? I hope you manage to get to the bottom of this, David.

Which form CoyTub ?
