Again: Questions on the events-Plugin

[Adrian Nussbaum]

Hi

I once posted this already but didn't get any answer, so I try it  
again...

I've got three questions:

#1 | How to get old events out of the overview?
This question I already asked once in an older post but afaik I  
didn't get any answer. Anyway, how can I make old Events disappear on  
the Events-Overview?
(I mean, i just want to have there the upcoming events, but not the  
old...)

#2 | How can I use special characters in the Events-Title (as an  
example)?
I use the plugin on a german site and wanted to write "März" (it's  
the month "march"...). But unfortunately the ä didn't appear  
correctly...  (It showed up as "Mäz")
What to do?


... and last but not least...

#3 | could the Events-Plugin be made multilingual?
I mean, that one could enter the title, the location and the  
description in differents languages (the ones, that are suported due  
to the site-options)? Should that be possible?

Events plugin is enough raw, it does not support paging, like blog.

You should hack bx_plugins_events::getContentById,
Replace line:
  $query="select * from ".$prefix."events order by von asc";
With
  $query="select * from ".$prefix."events order by von asc limit 10";
(to show only last 10 events)

Or, you may implement paging, as in blog:
$maxposts_param = $this->getParameter($path,'maxposts');
$maxPosts = ($maxposts_param) ? $maxposts_param : 10;
$startEntry  = isset($_GET['start']) ? $_GET['start'] : 0;

$query="select * from ".$prefix."events order by von asc limit $startEntry, $maxPosts"
An add links (in xslt probably, but i dunno how to pass startentry and
maxposts there):
<a href="./?start='.($startEntry - $maxPosts).$searchAdd.'">Prev page</a>
<a href="./?start='.($startEntry + $maxPosts).$searchAdd.'">Next page</a>

And how do you enter events ?
It works fine in 1.3, if you enter events using mysql tools (phpmysqladmin) :)
I cannot find bcsmc plugin for editing events...

AN> #3
For multilingual support you have to redesign table layout and patch
events.php some more.
If you know php and SQL, the idea is:
in sql TABLE bxcms_events leave only fields:
id, link, von, bis, uri.
create new table bxcms_events_properties sith fields:
event_id, language, property, value
This way you can have several properties in various languages,
as well as add custom properties, missed in original plugin.

I hope this will help.
