Hello,

I have create an calendar with repeating events and I am showing the events via the slideshow module. For some reason the repetitive events in the slideshow do not show the correct start date of the actual event. The slideshow module only shows the startdate and time of the initial event also for all repetitions. Check below my string. Please advice on how to show the correct date per repeating event.

Thx,
Omar

Hello Omar,

So the slideshow module uses the Custom Format String. As per:
https://www.jevents.net/frequently-asked-questions/custom-format-strings

You need to use:

eventDate

not

startDate

So:


<div style="color:white" class="item ISACTIVE"><a href="/${eventDetailLink}" target="_self">${JEV_SIZEDIMAGE_1;1000x600}</a><div class="carousel-caption">${title}<span class="jevcstart"><a href="/${eventDetailLink}" target="_self">${eventDate(%A %B %e)}[!a:, ${eventDate(%H:%M)} - ${endDate(%H:%M)}][a: - All Day] </a></span></div></div>



Many thanks
Tony

Thanks Tony, I might have found this myself looking a bit further. But I am getting the hang of the structure of Jevents opening up it's full customization capabilities. Like it a lot.

Working perfectly now.

Regards,
Omar
