First, thanks for the great module. I am already using it on two different sites after finding it just several days ago. I like it so much better than "PiCal".

I have a few issues. I have been able to partially "fix" them on my own, but not to the point where it is working correctly.

Here they are...

-When I add events, the end date on the module index page is always set to 11:59pm of the day even when I enter it as a specific time. The module is therefore giving out incorrect information.

-I would like to get rid of the duration. Most events last 1-4 hours for my purposes. It says 1 day for all those events on the index page and the event details page.

-How can the date format that is displayed on the main page be changed to not include seconds. How often do events start at a time other than a round minute. It is worthless clutter. Changing the date format is also important because the current format shows the day in one digit (the "4" in this example, 2006/4/8 14:00:00). Some days are single digits (1-9) and others are double (10-31). This makes things not line up due to the different number of digits displayed.

-I would also like to have the option to change out of military time.

Thanks again!

OK, to try and address your issues:

1) End time: If the multiday option hasn't been selected, it does default to 11:59pm to make sure the event expires at the end of the day when no time has been defined. Have you tried selecting the "multiday" check box, even if it is on one day? That should override the default to whatever you enter (make sure you set the correct date as well).

2) Duration: I'm working on making some parts, like duration and location optional - this will be in a future release.

3 and 4) Dates: Dates are configurable to whatever format you want, and can be changed in the preferences. However, there may be an issue with XOOPS 2.2.* with the seconds being displayed when they aren't in XOOPS 2.0.*.

The codes for formatting dates can be found on [url]http://www.php.net/date[/url]

The current date format for the index display is "d/m/Y" - the should give a display of "dd/mm/yyyy". If you wanted a non military time, you "g:i:sa" (hour without leading zero:hour:minutes(am|pm)), which should give you a 12 hour time of "6:32:56pm"

By default, the seconds shouldn't be shown, I think this is something to do with XOOPS 2.2.*, so I would appreciate it if you could let me know which version of XOOPS you are using...

Thanks for the response. I am using v.2.2.4, so that probably explains most of the problems. I just saw that the new version of AMEvents is out (v. 2.2). I am excited to give that a try.

I had resorted to totally removing the time and date from being displayed on the main page, in the block and in the event details. I just put the date in the vent title.

Thanks!
