Calendar event list mark next event

[zlobec]

Hey,

I'm trying to find a way to mark the first upcomming event in a single event list (different css class), for example that it would mark not only the bygone, current and upcomming class but also that the first next upcomming event would also be marked with a css class "next".

Any Ideas how to do that?

I'm currently working with the Events.php file in "addEvent" function the lines around 300:

		// Mark past and upcoming events (see #3692)
		if ($intEnd < $this->intTodayBegin)
		{
			$arrEvent['class'] .= ' bygone';
		}
		elseif ($intStart > $this->intTodayEnd)
		{
			$arrEvent['class'] .= ' upcoming';
		}
		else
		{
			$arrEvent['class'] .= ' current';
		}

I was thinking that maybe after the $this->arrEvents is ksorted that I should find the first occurence of the "upcoming" and simply replace it with "next". Or sth...

Any ideas how to do that?

Maybe you can do it with CSS

.upcoming {
  background: red;
}
.upcoming + .upcoming {
  background: inherit;
} 

or with JS (mootools)

$$('.upcoming')[0].addClass('first_upcoming'); 

or put this on top of your template

<?php
  if(in_array('upcoming', explode(' ', $this->classUpcoming)) && !isset($GLOBALS['firstUpcoming']))
  {
    $GLOBALS['firstUpcoming'] = true;
    $this->classUpcoming .= ' first_upcoming';
  }
?>

Don't modify a core file.

Hey,

I added this

<?php if ((strpos($this->classHeader, 'last') == 0) || (strpos($this->classHeader, 'first last') <> 0)):?>

at the beginning of the template... and created 3 modules (1st upcomming events, 2nd current event, and 3rd as the past events) added 1 extra number of event to the upcomming module and it worked. Not so clean but it works.

If I'll have time I'll try your solution... should be more clean and it would run only one module.

Thanks for the suggestion. I forgot about the global variables

You better should use in_array() with explode(' ', ...) than strpos() to analyze the classes.
