RSEvents link and date

Thrane

Hi
I'm trying to make an email with RSEvent in it.
I have inserted {link} in the custom view, but I'm not taken to the events itself?

And I have insert {start} and get this: 2025-03-06 17:30:00, can I change the format in any way?
Like: 06.03.2025 17:30

Regards
Thomas

Hi,

Currently it's not possible to change the date format in the custom view.

Regarding the question about the link, please explain what is happening.

Bummer :-(

The link:
{link} in the mail gives me this link: https://dghs.thr.nu/index.php?option=com_rseventspro&layout=show&id=1:generalforsamling - but then I only see the frontpage and not the event it self?

Here is the answer, our developers provided in a similar support requests from another user

We are letting RSEventsPro build the URL:

$link = rseventsproHelper::route('index.php?option=com_rseventspro&layout=show&id='.rseventsproHelper::sef($element->id, $element->name).$language);

Some extensions however need a menu item ID to build the correct SEF version of a URL. Do you have one in particular for events/calendar/location? It should be shown on the menu items listing.

If so, you could try editing the file administrator/components/com_acym/dynamics/rseventspro/RseventsproInsertion.php and replace the line 316 by:
$link = rseventsproHelper::route('index.php?option=com_rseventspro&layout=show&id='.rseventsproHelper::sef($element->id, $element->name).$language.'&Itemid=123');

Where 123 is the id of your menu item.

If that resolves your problem, let us know so the developers can add this menu item ID parameter in the add-on configuration

Wow!
Fast reply ...

And I have tested this - it works :-)

Thank you for your confirmation

I will provide your feedback to our developers to take a look and implement this in the future releases of the add-on
