Forumotion News : the events on the forums.

Dear users,

Forumotion is glad to announce a new functionality on the forums : ''The Events’’. This new option is added to your forum in order to help you to organize and plan your events and to get unique interactions and exchanges with your community. Cool

What is the event system ?

Thanks to this exclusivity, your members can now create an event with a good description of it, in real life or virtually and they can share it with your community. Meetings, festivals, concerts, demonstrations,…etc. everything is possible ! It’s up to you to find the best events that will interest your community to share with your members unforgettable memories ! ;D

Directly linked with the calendar, the events of your forum will let you organize in an easy, ergonomic and useful way every kind of activity with your community.

See example:

You can set up the permissions of the event in your administration panel. Members that will get the opportunity to create events can be more implicated in your forum !
Strengthening your bonds or sharing new things, the events are the best way to organize and plan meetings or special opportunity on your forums !

How to activate the event system ?

To activate the events on your forum, you just have to go in your administration panel, Modules tab, and then go to Events. Everybody can create events or only some groups that you set up with the permissions.

See example:

A new option in the main menu will appear when you activate the events. It will let you go on the special section of the events.

See example:

We won’t tell you more and let you discover by yourself all the possibilities of the events on your forums. Very Happy

You can now create and organize everything you like, so don’t hesitate anymore ! And the best is yet to come… Cheer

See you soon for other news,

Reguards,
Forumotion Team. king

If you activate this option, you will notice there is no image for the link in the navbar. To fix this, go to AP > Display > Colors & Pictures > Pics Management (Advanced Mode) and click the see examples button for events.

Great update! But can we access to any template related? Very Happy

by **Shadow** June 27th 2017, 4:58 pm

Hello,

Thank you for your reports, it's a pleasure to see that you like it Mr. Green

About the templates, for now they are not available due to some changes that might come in the future Wink

If we give you the possibility to change it now while they're not perfect, we may encounter some big deals later Wink

I hope you understand :rose:

Thank you again ! flower

Hi @Shadow,

Thanks for this new feature and continuing to develp the forums! Very good

Any plans to add a RSVP feature to the events section (to increase the interactivity / event management options)?

RSVP Example(s):
Yes / Maybe / No
or
Attending / Maybe / Not Attending

Take care,
volvie!

I get that error too.

@Tonight and @Kami-sama You need to make sure you add a time and date of start and end to the system before posting.

Please take a screen shot of the parts you are filling in and then the error page Smile

Hello @Kami-sama , @Tonight ,

Sorry for this inconvenience.

Thanks :rose:

@volvie! we keep your recommandation in mind, thank you for that Smile

EDIT ; this is now solved, you should be able to create your events Wink

Thanks for your patience !

Thanks for the fix.

Some additional questions/problems:
1) Is there a reason why it isn't possible to change the position of events (and wiki) in navbar?
New functionality : the events Jhhh10

2) Why can't we translate/change the name of events?

What exactly happens when you try to move it?

by Kami-sama July 4th 2017, 12:09 am

After the recent updates the HTML was disabled by default. Had to enable it again. Has this event update caused this?

I believe not since my 2 forums were not changed.

It just reloads the page, doesn't change the order.

Hello @Tonight
I had this same thing happen before on the Publications system and this is what Shadow told me Smile

APE wrote:@shadow Found today that i can't move the Publications in the navbar to where i want to
No matter how i try i can't move it from the top left to by the main PM system

Shadow wrote:Hello @APE ,
I don't know what happened I couldn't reproduce the problem :o But anyway, I changed it for you, I had to put the portal up the publications and then I could move them, I don't know why ...
But it's solved, you can now move it as many times as you want

by Kami-sama July 4th 2017, 6:30 pm

If you are using the theme by Ange Tueteur, you need to visit FM Design. There is a topic about events in the support section for Edge.

Why can't I add a new event? There's no button to it.

Please start a support topic in the correct support section (Other Problems).

Hi there,

I was wondering if you had created a handy widget for your event. I mean something that would show upcoming events in order of their date, like 5 soonest?

It would certainly be handy since now the events are rather hidden.
