GroupJive Events custom fields

Also it seems that [var1_params] does not substitute anything with the trigger gj_onDisplayEvent whatever settings I use ?
So I had to use

The variables for gj_onDisplayEvent are as follows.


You can access parameters with var1 perfectly fine. For example [var1_params_dropdown] using the param name in my previous example. If using PHP you can also just call the below directly.

And finally can you tell me where to insert the event edit template because it does not seem to display when I put one in a new GJ template whatever path I try

You'd need to add your custom input to the below template file since there is no trigger for outputting new inputs in event edit.

/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbgroupjive/plugins/cbgroupjiveevents/templates/default/event_edit.php

You of course should make these changes in a custom template to avoid losing changes on update so you'll want to copy event_edit.php to a new folder created in the below path.

/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbgroupjive/plugins/cbgroupjiveevents/templates

So for example you'd have the below folder.

/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbgroupjive/plugins/cbgroupjiveevents/templates/new_template

Thanks a lot for all !
We're building really nice things thanks to your help and all the APIs

And I have still a final question
Don't know if it should be in this post or more general though as it has to do with dropdown query field.

This is a query for the #__groupjive_plugin_events table and in the options parameter, I have set Value column to Id, Label Column to title and Group column to Params.

This works fine but the display is of course grouped by {"dropdown":"10"}

Can I substitute something in this area to get a nicer display such as Category One for instance ? with cb if ?

Only value is ever stored. You should be processing the value on display into its formatted value.

Yes that's my question : this is not the value that needs to be formatted but the group for the drop down. So how can I achieve this in the display field ?

Don't understand what you're asking. It should be storing the value of the dropdown option assuming you handled the storage correctly as exampled below.

Then on display you need to convert the value to the display string.
