Can it really be that difficult ?
 

I would like to display customfields information within the calendar month view, I have managed to edit the template to show all the fields but of course it also shows the : ; { etc

However I wish to only show 2 or 3 of the fields and not all - can this be done and if so how ?!?!

Many Thanks

you are trying to show a serialized array.

In your php script, first do:
Then use $mynewarray['field'] in your template.

Hi Marco, thanks for replying

I have looked through calendar.php and notice that these lines exist

$eventfields = unserialize($eventinfo['customfields']);

and

$eventcustomfields = unserialize($eventinfo['customfields']);

Would I be right to think I therefore dont need to add the line to calendar.php and then only edit the template, if not please advise, if you could be more specific to say for example display the third item in the serialization it would be most helpful

If the data you need is already unserialized, you don't need to do it again.

You will just need something like "$eventfields['fieldname']" in your template.

To find out which fields are in the array, TEMPORARY add the following line to your php-script, just after the unserialize:
This wil show you the contents of the array.

Thanks again Marco, will give that a try, I did notice however that when using ' within the template I get a parse error, what would be the correct format for the template when I have worked out what the variable is ?

Sorry just leave out the quotes.

Right, managed to get the eventfields to display but ONLY when viewing the posting and not in calendar month view by doing what you said - see screenshot

Entered $eventfields[1] and $eventfield[field1] into the calendar monthly view template - see below - but still did not display, I left the $event[customfields] in just for reference

Hope you can assist

MarcoH64 Kindly provided a fix for me and I am posting this for anyone else who requires it

Edit 'includes/functions_calendar.php'.

Find:

Add after:

Now edit the template 'calendar_monthly_event':

Find (or any other place):

And add below (please change it to suit your needs/fieldnumbers):

Note: "OFF" is one of my custom fields drop down options, yours of course will be different

Many thanks to MarcoH64

Ok I got this to work. Thank you very much guys! I am similarly trying to get the same type thing to show up in the weekly view. I have tried adding

$customfield=unserialize($event['customfields']);

to the calendar.php file in a similar place for the weekly view, but it didn't work. Any ideas on how to make the custom field show up in weekly view?

Thanks!

To update this, you need to add the line of code to about line 493.

I had troubles searching for the line above, here it is again.

search for:
and after add
