Flynax went beyond what I expected in the new Events Calendar update:
- "The ability to set prices for tickets added Minor issues fixed"
I will test it on demo and see. Thanks for informing us.
Edited: Do we now have the start and end date for the event?
Yes
I also like that users can add custom names for ticket prices.
Can also add as many types of ticket prices as you want.

One-day Event:
- Answer: No
- Why:
- You select Monday, 1 January 2021 in the "From" box
- You are only allowed to select Tuesday, 2 January 2021 in the "To" box
- Basically, you cannot create 'same day' events
- For example, you cannot select the following Monday, 1 January 2021 to Monday, 1 January 2021
- This must be an oversight or a BUG
Start/Finish Time:
- Answer 1: No
- Why:
- There are no time options in the date select option
- Likely, others will say they can just add it to the description
- However, it should be a drop-down with 12/24 options
- Answer 2: Maybe
- Why:
- You can create a dropdown Listing field with times that is linked to "Link to Data Entries"
- Problem here is do you create a dropdown with the time every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour?
- Pretty easy if you want to make events every hour or maybe every 1/2 hour:
- Example:
- 12.00 hrs
- 12.30 hrs
- 13.00 hrs.
- 13.30 hrs.
- See Here: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_clock
That is sad. Most of my event plannings are 1 day events from morning 9AM to 5PM. :(( Like concerts, and flea market day.
Here is how the time dropdowns look using Data Entry Fields:
- Create Data Entry: Admin Panel > Common > Data Entries
- Make "Start Time" (Add your time increments)
- Make "Finish Time" (Add your time increments)
- Create Listing Field: Admin Panel > Listing > Listing Fields > Add a Field > Create a dropdown Field Types:
- Make "Start Time" (Connect to Data Entry)
- Make "Finsh Time" (Connect to Dats Entry)
- Add to Category Form: Admin Panel > Categories > Categories > Select Your Catgory > Build Icon > Build Listing Form

Thanks Joe, that is definitely an alternative way to do it. By the way, I just tested on demo and they have single day event where you can choose 1 day only. They have 2 options: single and period.
"They have 2 options: single and period."
Okay, yes there are single-day events.
Just needed to add the field "Type" to the form.
So, basically, the Events plugin works better than great.
I set time dropdowns for every 30 minutes of the day.
The only issue I can see is, What if an event starts at 9:10.
A user only has two options, either choose 09.00 hrs. or 09.30 hrs, likely they will choose 09.00 hrs.
An improvement would be a field that allows users to select the event's start hour and exact start minute.
Rudi:
I created two Data Entries both with the exact data (time every 30 mins):
1. Start Time (Data Entry)
2. Finish Time (Data Entry)
Then I created a listing field for each Data Entry:
1. Start Time (Listing Field)
2. Finish Time (Listing Field)
.................................................. .........................
However, I am wondering if I only need ONE Data Entry:
1. Create a Data Entry named "Time"
2. Create one Listing Field name "Start Time"
3. Create one Listing Field name "Finish Time"
4. Connect both the "Start Time" and "Finish Time" Listings Fields to the same "Time" Data Entry
Basically, can two different Listing Fields be connected on one Data Entry?
However, I understand that it might just be better to create two Data Entries and two Listing Fields.
Yes, you can use the same data entry for two listings fields if there will be a time frame (from-to)
anyway, the values from the data entry will be stored in different columns of the listings table
Understood.
Thanks for the excellent support.
Wei,
Thinking this through, I think a better solution than building a dropdown may be to enter two text fields for a user to enter the exact event start and finish times?
The disdvantage is that users will end up using different time formats:
- 8 p.m
- 8:00 p.m.
- 20.00 hrs.
- 2 T (8 p.m.) local variotion
- 2 t (8 a.m.) local variation
Maybe Rudi can comment if a time plugin will be added in the future?
Hi Joe, Flynax has escort script with the time fields. May be you should visit the demo and try that out. There are very "cool" pictures on that demo so be sure to check it while you're alone. May be we can request Flynax to consider implement that time field to the event plugin. So it would be a complete event plugin. Event should have date and time. Those are 2 keys elements.
Yes, yes, maybe Rudi can comment whether a time field will eventually be added to the Flynax Events plugin.
The task about this feature for events plugin is already created and probably it will be implemented in the next update,
for now, you can create a text field and use a time type for it described here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...ent/input/time
in your case, go to templates > your_template > tpl > blocks > field.tpl > find {if $field.Type == 'text'}
change type="text" in input to:
Code:Only registered members can view the code.
Anyone, know if the time listing field was added to the new Events plugin 1.1.1?
I looked but could not find it.
