Is there an SSI variable that would desplay the 'next X number of events' rather than the 'next X number of days'?

Thanks

Well, there is no variable to set for number of events, but you can call getEvents for a sufficiently long amount of time, then display only the number of events you want to.  If you are using the default ssi.html, make the following changes:

1) Find <%FOREACH EVENTLIST%> and place <%EVENTLOOP:%> on the line before it.

2) Find <%total_events++;%> and move it after <%FOREACH EVENT%>.

3) On the next line after the <%total_events++;%> that you just moved, place <%if (total_events == 5) { last EVENTLOOP; } %> replacing the 5 with the number of events you would like to show.

That should work, I think.  Let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks. Will work on that when I get back from vacation.

Could someone take a look at my template and let me know where I'm going wrong. I'm also trying to limit the number of events show e.g. to the first 5 but so far the below is not working.

Thanks

<%
&getEvents( {'duration'=>$in{duration}} );
$DAY = $Grid->{'grid'}->

• ->
• ;
  $EVENTS = $DAY->{events};
  $total_events=5;
  %>
  <%EVENTLOOP:%>
  <%FOREACH EVENTLIST%>
     <%IF EVENTS EXIST%>
     <BR>
        <%FOREACH EVENT%>
           <%$total_events++;%>
           <%if (total_events == 5) { last EVENTLOOP; } %>
           <img src="http://www.regenthall.co.uk/regent/images/plus.gif" width=15 height=9 border=0>
           <A class=title HREF="<%=$CGI_URL_QUERYSTRING%>calendar=&template=&view=Event&event_id=<%=$EVENT->{'details'}->{'id'}%>"><%= $EVENT->{'details'}->{'title'} %></A><BR>
           <% if ($EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'start_time'}) { %><%= $EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'start_time'} %><% } %>

           <% if ($EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'start_time'}) { %> : <% } %>
           <%=$DAY->{dayname}%>, <%=$DAY->{monthname}%> <%=$DAY->{dd}%><BR>
        <%/FOREACH%>
     <%/IF%>
  <%/FOREACH%>

  <%unless($total_events){%>
  <CENTER><I>No Events</I>
  <% } %>

Hi,

I would also like to limit the number of events listed as an include.

I tried modifying the ssi.html script as instructed above, but it does not work.

Ideally what I would like to do is have the events of the current week list display, dropping off the previous week events and not showing the next week events. This way, I could enter all the month's events at one go.

Has anyone been able to do something similar to this who could share a solution?

Many thanks in advance,

Shelley

** I would like to have the events of the current week list display **

You can try changing the first line of the ssi.html template to:

&getEvents( { 'range'=>'week' } );

instead of

&getEvents( {'duration'=>$in{duration}} );
