JEvents Latest Events Module sort order problem

Hello,

Is that event a repeating event or a multi-day event?

Many thanks
Tony

first 4 events are Multi Day Event, the following 2 are 1 day event, and last 2 multi day event. all should have been sorted by Start date right?
if the event is set as repeating it isn't a problem because it only is displays the current day, but for a repeating event the start and end dates are the same on the details page..
i've added the code in latest.php:

usort($daysEvents, function ($a, $b) {

	if($this->sortReverse)

		return $a->_startrepeat < $b->_startrepeat;

	else

		return $a->_startrepeat > $b->_startrepeat;

});

after line 998 which is

reset($daysEvents);

and before

foreach ($daysEvents as $dayEvent) {

and it works, any other solution without changing the code?

No, so for multi-date events you need to use a different tag see:
https://www.jevents.net/frequently-asked-questions/custom-format-strings

So: ${eventDate}

Since the event starts again today. Or set multiday events only show once on the first day.

Many thanks
Tony

i've added JEvents - Latest Events Module and in first post i've made a printscreen with the settings of the module, and i set "Display once even if event started in the past", the date shown is the first day of the multi event but the order isn't correctly displayed.

i don't understand where should i use ${eventDate}?

Hello,

So that is your problem. you need to use the ${eventData} in the customformat string instead of startDate. Since the event is in the correct order as it is taking place.

Many thanks
Tony

${eventDate} works as it displays the current date (today), the order of the events isn't sorted by the startdate, i'll see what i can do, thanks for the reply.

so i followed the code, result from the query is ordered by startdate, but then in modules/mod_jevents_latest/tmpl/default/latest.php on line 565 usort($eventsThisDay, array(get_class($this), "_sortEventsByTime"); it changes the order. replacing _sortEventsByTime with _sortEventsByDate or commenting the line does what i need.
thanks for the info and help

hello, i updated to latest version of jevents, i have the same problem with "JEvents - Latest Events Module", i changed line 568 in modules/mod_jevents_latest/tmpl/default/latest.php, _sortEventsByTime replaced with _sortEventsByDate.
cheers

Did you set the module to measure time from now?

Did you set the module to measure time from now?

yes just tried, doesn't work, i have Display mode 0.

hello.
the issue hasn't been fixed yet in any of the versions, i'm still replacing on every update_sortEventsByTime with _sortEventsByDate at line 806 now in mod_jevents_latest\tmpl\default\latest.php

also another question, can you check cjsuceava.ro, the module "Evenimente în desfășurare sau următoare", if titles are too long they display 2 lines, maybe you can truncate the title adding "..." when is too long, to display better.
