How to export evens from JEvents to Data Picker ?

I have the timetable of trainings in JEvents calendar on my site. Users need enter for the training using a form for sign up for one of the traning's days. They need to insert the date of the one of trainings to the date field in form.

So they need to see the JEvents calendar first, then remember the training's day that fits, and than insert it using Date Picker.😈 😲 😫

Is it possible to export automatically the events from "Traning" category of JEvents calendar as the marked dates to the Date Picker dashboard?

Or may be is a solution to use JEvents (or other Joomla calendar) as a Date Picker in ChronoForms?

Hi T34,

I've no idea. Is is possible to add a link directly to the event in JEvents that you can use to pass the event id to the ChronoForm? You could then look up the event details and pre-load the form.

Thank you, Bob.

May you give me a little example, how to pass the event id from other application to CF? Using MySQL or is the simplest way?

Or may be is a way to pass event's id to dashboard?

Hi T34,

Ths is really a JEvents question :-(

I can see that you can get the event date into a link using ${eventDate}

# ${eventDate} = The date being looked at - if you are showing events over the next 7 days and a multiday event has already started then this date may be midway through the event.

and presumably you could pick up the event ID somehow.

If you can get any info into the URL that calls your ChronoForms then you can use the info in the ChronoForm. Though you would need to know how to write a query to access the JEvent tables.
