Hi there
We are using EE 4.6.6 for a new cinema-website and I have three questions:
1. Can events be duplicated? I have searched for that function but have not found anything.
2. We have events with multiple dates (i.e. a movie that is showed tomorrow and the day after tomorrow). In the list view it unfortunately only shows the next date (tomorrow) and not all the dates (tomorrow and the day after tomorrow). What do we have to do that EE shows all dates and not only the next one in a list view/month view?
3. Where can we find the detail page of an event (respectively the template of the detail pages) so that we can adapt the look & feel of the events to our website?
I hope my questions are understandable (I’m neither a native speaker nor a web-designer so it’s quite difficult for me to explain what I exactly need ;-))
Thank you very much

Hi,
1) Yes, though I believe this is only from recent versions so make sure your EE4 is up to date. In the event editor, there are some buttons below the event title, Duplicate Event is one of them.
2) It sounds like you are using one date time but perhaps multiple tickets or a single ticket spanning multiple dates. The way to show multiple dates on the front end list would be to use multiple datetimes
3) Yes it can be done via templating but does require digging into PHP a little bit (or a lot depending on what you need to do). This may help https://eventespresso.com/wiki/ee4-themes-templates/
Alternatively you could use CSS to spruce up the look of the events without changing the actual structure.

Hi Dean
Thank you very much, question 1) and 3) are solved 😉
Regarding question 2: we are well using multiple datetimes and in the detail page of an event all the different datetimes are visible. But in the list view, only the next following event is displayed. We need EE to show all future events in a list view/month view. Thank you very much to again look into it.
Kind regards,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,
Can you clarify what you mean by list view? Is there a link you can share that will help clarify?

Hi Josh
Please kindly visit http://kino.sevenskills.ch. On the right side you can see the list view. If you for example click on the movie “Samba” (which, according to the list, is showed on February 26th only) you will see in the detail view that this movie will also be showed on February 28th.
What we are looking for is a list view that shows all future events (in the above mentioned example, the movie “Samba” should hence have two entries in the list view, one on February 26th and one on February 28th.
Kind regards,
Marcel

Dear all. Did you see the problem? Or do you need any further information? Kind regards, Marcel

Hi,
It certainly can be done but would require modifications to the template. The documentation about customising the table templates (https://eventespresso.com/wiki/events-table-view-template-add-on/#customizations) has an example for showing multiple date times:

Hi Dean.
Thank you very much, we could modify the template accordingly (see here: http://kino.sevenskills.ch/kinoprgramm/).
In addition to that, we would need another template, set up approximately in such a manner:
<td>Event 1</td><td>Date 1 (02.02.2015)</td>
<td>Event 2</td><td>Date 1 (03.02.2015)</td>
<td>Event 1</td><td>Date 2 (04.02.2015)</td>
<td>Event 3</td><td>Date 1 (05.02.2015)</td>
<td>Event 1</td><td>Date 3 (06.02.2015)</td>
Do you maybe have another example that could help us building such a template?
Best regards,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,
The calendar would be a better fit because the event list template will list through all the events as posts, not events as datetimes. If you need the event list to loop through each datetime for all events, I can advise contacting a developer to build a custom query for the template. This isn’t something that can be changed using a few lines of code within the templates.
