Dear WP users,
Currently I am using the Simple Facebook Connect plug-in pack. One of the plug-ins in the pack is the events plug-in.
I am wondering, is there a way to modify the HTML output for this plug-in.
Because now you got 'date of event' without a class/id or anything + FB_eventLink FB_ElementReady. Don't have much flexibility now to do thing in CSS.
Kind regards,
zhrance
Just edit the plugin to output the HTML you want.
Hello,
I'm actually trying to get the Facebook upcoming events for SFC work
sfc_upcoming_event_output($event) show the event date.
but <fb:eventlink eid="<?php echo $event["eid"]; ?>"></fb:eventlink> don't seems to work ...
It can works in HTML but it's not very reliable

I can't seem to get upcoming events to work. All I get is a list of dates and they are the end dates for the events, not the start dates. Anyone else having this problem?
Hi bmbingham,
I have the same problem, I can only see upcoming events end dates.
When you watch $event array, you have access to some of the event information but following things have to be done :
- show start and end time for 3 cases (only start time, start time = end time, start time != end time)
- translate time (works with date_i18n() function)
I'm not really used to facebook FBML but there's a page about fb:eventlink in the facebook documentation : http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fbml/eventlink I don't get it works ...
If some have a solution !
I give you my solution, but I don't find the following code reliable (too much echo), if :
i have changed :
<fb:eventlink eid="<?php echo $event["eid"]; ?>"></fb:eventlink>
by
<div class="event">
<?php echo date('l dS F Y',$event['start_time']); ?>
<img src="<?php echo $event['pic_small']; ?>" />
<?php echo $event['name']; ?>
<br/>
<?php echo $event['tagline']; ?>
<br/>
Type: <?php echo $event['event_type']?> - <?php echo $event['event_subtype']?><br/>
Where: <?php echo $event['location']?><br/>
When: <?php echo date("dS F Y h:i",$event['start_time'])?> - <?php echo date("dS F Y h:i",$event['end_time'])?><br/>
</div>
Is there a way to format the output from Rubadub's code? The thumbnail hangs on the end of the description. It would also be nice to have
- The title in bold text.
- Scrollable output
and so on
Can't get my site to display the correct time. It is still about 8 hrs ahead ("Facebook server time"??).
Anyone?

add "date_default_timezone_set("America/Los_Angeles");" after "function sfc_upcoming_event_output($event) {". Set the timezone to the same timezone that hosts your server.
