This plugin was originally developed by “screen” from brainkrash.com. It appears he no longer had this plugin available for download at his site and has not been on the Nucleus forums for quite some time, so I took it upon myself to post the download file for others. I updated the plugin code to current Nucleus standards, and will likely be working on other options and improvements to this plugin.

BETA PLUGIN: Please see the forum thread. DOWNLOAD: here.

• Ensure that your webserver has write permissions to config.php before installing or uninstalling this plugin!
• Once installed enable the plugin for specif blogs by editing the plugin options and adding their names to the “Enable for Blogs” option.
• Display of event items is achieved by editing a blogs template (ie. default)
• add adding <%EventItem(var,element)%>, where element may be one of the following values:
  • city
  • venue
  • street
  • zip
  • bill
  • cost
  • time
  • ages

• You may also need to edit the detailed template to display event data for the entry detail and search results page.

• Once a blog is enabled as an eventblog all entries dated in the future will always be displayed! Once enabled the body field is reserved for the date (this allows date editing). You may use the extended information field for more data or modify the plugin to suit your needs.

Import the tour skin from the skin import/export page by selecting “tour” from the import from local file list. Customize to your desire.

If you are recieving a PHP error check your conf.php to ensure that the plugin configuration is still present. See NP_EventItem variable $config_php below.
