JCal Pro All day problem fix.
It seems that on the “upcoming events” module of JCal Pro it shows “(All Day)” if you’ve got an all day item. It’s ugly and I was asked how to remove it. Here’s how to do it:
Edit modules/mod_jcalpro_latest.php
Comment out this line:
$returnstring .= ( $EXTCAL_CONFIG['show_times'] ) ? ‘ (’ . $start_time . ( ($EXTCAL_CONFIG['show_times'] == 3 || $no_end_specified) ? ” : ‘ - ‘ . $end_time ) . ‘)’ : ”;
Replace it with:
if( $EXTCAL_CONFIG['show_times'] )
{
if( $start_time != EXTCAL_TEXT_ALL_DAY )
{
$returnstring .= ‘ (’ . $start_time . ( ($EXTCAL_CONFIG['show_times'] == 3 || $no_end_specified) ? ” : ‘ - ‘ . $end_time ) . ‘)’;
}
}
I love tech support
Here’s my current fun with a certain unnamed hosting provider. Feel free to traceroute this site’s domain name if you want to know which one.
me: “please do this specific thing to twenty domains.”
them: “ok, like this?”
me: “no, do it how I asked!”
them: “oh dear, we need someone smarter… I’ll send the request somewhere else”
[ 24 hours goes past ]
me: “hello?”
them: “sorry, ok, done”
me: “but you didn’t do it, and I had to create a new ticket to ask you to do it again, properly!”
them: “ok, done… I checked two.”
me: “… out of twenty? I’ll do it myself. DO NOT BREAK ANYTHING ELSE”
This may be slightly paraphrased, but it’s taken three days to go backwards on where I was at the start, and realise I should have just done it myself the first time.
