OK, I sit here on a Saturday night looking at some really inane JomSocial bugs that are quite hard to fix. Their events functionality is particularly sketchy.

However, I have managed to get the events to show up on our home page for the next JUG meetings. Hooray! There is a nasty timezone bug that precludes me showing the time tho. I will revisit that later, as I'm quite determined to make this usable.

There is also a nasty bug in Group Events that means you cant invite members if you set up an event from within a Group. Rather set it up at the global level and assign it a category of your user group. This means that your event will show up on the site home page and you can invite anyone to it. On the downside, it will not show up under group events, on your group home page.

I tried to install an extension that allows you to filter by event category - Jomsocial does not have this(!) - but it was horribly unsuitable, showing a monthly calendar of events instead of a list, and I had no way to nominate which category of events to show for which group, as the group home page uses JomSocial template elements to display events, not modules.

Back to the drawing board.

G'day Dex,

In regard to Events, there was also a bug where if you added events out of chronological order, they would appear this way on the Group Page, but elsewhere in the right order.

This has now been fixed with the latest version of Jomsocial which I installed yesterday on my site.

Cheers,

You doing a great job, Dex - thank you!

Can anyone point to a JomSocial site that is really flying? I wonder what this thing is actually capable of.

chasing the new jomsocial version. yep, it also seems to fix the location map issue.

thanks for the tip Ric
