Template Tags: Not working

Niall Thompson 13 Jul 2012 19:46 problem, complete

Hi,

I can't get the template tags to work. In the channel entry I can see that the field returns the right data:

{"start_date":"2012-08-20","start_time":"18:30","end_time":"20:30","end_date":"2012-08-20","all_day":"n"}

But on the front end with this code it only returns tags and not data:

North London - August 2012
{event_dates:start_date}

{event_description}

Stuck, please help.

Niall

   This is the code i'm using in my template:
   
   {exp:low_events:entries channel="schedule" date="2012"}
   

   {title}

   
   {event_dates:start_date}
   
   {event_description}
   {/exp:low_events:entries}

   Hi Niall,
   
   Those tags (or variables, to be more precise) are channel fields. What is the short name of your Low Events channel field? You can use that short name as the first part of your variable, so:
   
   

   {my_events_field:start_date}

   
   
   etc.

   Thanks for quick reply.
   
   Short name for my Low Events channel field is: {event_details}
   
   Makes more sense but I can't understand why this doesn't work still:
   
{exp:low_events:entries channel="schedule"}
<div class="calendar-entry">
<div class="date pull-left">
<p>{day} <span>{month_short}</span></p>
</div>
<div class="meeting-details pull-left">
<h3>{meeting_location}</h3>
<time>{weekday}{event_details:start_date format="%j %F %Y"}<br>18:30 to 20:30 (GMT)</time>
</div>
</div>
{/exp:low_events:entries}

   
   Forgive my ignorance.
   
   :)

   Is this online somewhere, so I can take a look myself? If so, you can send SuperAdmin login credentials to hi at gotolow dot com.

   I got it working using the following:
   
   

{exp:low_events:entries channel="schedule" limit="2"}
{event_details:start_date format="%j"}
{event_details:start_date format="%M"}
{event_details:start_date format="%l"}
{event_details:weekday}
{event_details:start_date format="%j %F %Y"}
{event_details:start_time format="%H:%i"} to {event_details:end_time format="%H:%i"} (GMT)
{/exp:low_events:entries}

   Good. Just remember that {event_details:weekday} is not a valid variable. But you're already using the %l (lowecase L) to generate that, so that should work out.
