A client recently wanted to show JEvents Events within a Sobi Page to keep everything in a central location, yet be very informative. 

To do this we used:

  • Sobi Pro
  • JEvents CCK Plugin
  • JEvents Embed Plugin

After installing, configuring and enabling the above we are ready to get configuring! 

  1. Go to Sobi Pro -> Application Manager -> Template Manager -> 'Your Template' -> entry -> details.xsl
  2. Find the place you want your events to be listed (This will be displayed like the JEvents Latest Events Module) 
  3. Add this code: {spjevents=<xsl:value-of select="entry/@id" />}
  4. Now click save 
  5. Next you must enable Section Config->General Config=>Template Data=>Parse Template Output = Yes
  6. Edit or create your event within JEvents, and select the Sobi Lisiting the event should belong too.
  7. When viewing the Sobi Page on your site you should now see a list of events.
  8. For information on how to configure the JEvents Embed Plugin, see the latest events module documentation as we include this module for the outputting to save code duplication. 

We hope this will help empower your Sobi Pro and JEvents website. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask in the forum.
