I didn't see this feature request previously mentioned, so here it is:

It should be relatively easy I would think, but here is the problem. An event does not show who posted it. Unless the event poster includes contact information in the text of the event, the admin and the user have no idea who posted it.

Even when an event needs approval, and the admin gets an email stating as much, even the email does not say who posted the event.

Personally, I find it exasperating that I can not tell who posted what. Perhaps this is only an issue for me, maybe others don't care, but it seems like an easy fix so I thought I would through it out there.

Thanks
Lintila

I have a similar requirement, also to include by default the poster's contact details in the contact section would be really useful

This solution seemed to work for me:

In /components/com_jcalpro/languages/english/index.php

insert on line 36:

global $my;

then around line 131 replace message body with

$lang_system['event_notification_body'] = "
The following event has just been posted on the {CALENDAR_NAME} and requires approval:

Title: {TITLE}
Date: {DATE}
Duration: {DURATION}
Name: ".$my->name."
Email: ".$my->email."

You can access this event by clicking the link below
or copy and paste it in your web browser.

{LINK}

(NOTE that you must be logged in as an Administrator for
the link to work.)

Regards,

The management of {CALENDAR_NAME}";

I have a similar requirement, also to include by default the poster's contact details in the contact section would be really useful

This is a hack to add the posters name and e-mail in the contact section when creating a new calendar entry:

change the file: components\com_jcalpro\include\functions.inc.php
line 359

Code:

old: global $lang_add_event_view, $lang_general, $lang_date_format, $lang_settings_data;
new: global $lang_add_event_view, $lang_general, $lang_date_format, $lang_settings_data, $my;

line 577

Code:

old: '{CONTACT_VAL}' => isset($form['contact'])?$form['contact']:"",
new: '{CONTACT_VAL}' => isset($form['contact'])?$form['contact']:$my->name,

line 579

Code:

old: '{EMAIL_VAL}' => isset($form['email'])?$form['email']:"",
new: '{EMAIL_VAL}' => isset($form['email'])?$form['email']:$my->email,

Now I am trying to find a way to make these fields required. Anyone?

Now I am trying to find a way to make these fields required. Anyone?

Got it 

file components\com_jcalpro\admin_events.php
after line 200 add:

Code:

if (empty($contact)) $errors .= theme_error_string($lang_add_event_view['no_contact']);
if (empty($email)) $errors .=  theme_error_string($lang_add_event_view['no_email']);

file components\com_jcalpro\jcalpro.php
after line 984 add:

Code:

if (empty($contact)) $errors .= theme_error_string($lang_add_event_view['no_contact']);
if (empty($email)) $errors .=  theme_error_string($lang_add_event_view['no_email']);

file components\com_jcalpro\languages\english.php (or any other language file)
after line 214 add:

Code:

,'no_contact' => 'You must provide contact information!'
,'no_email' => 'You must provide a contact email address!'

after line 543 add:

Code:

'no_contact' => 'You must provide contact information!',
'no_email' => 'You must provide a contact email address!',

Of course it would be better to have a configuration setting to define which fields are required. I will leave that as a feature request.

EDIT : sorry, didn't read carefully post just "upstairs" ... 

Hello,

I would LOVE the user name ( idealy a link to profile ) on events submited
Please tell me witch file(s) to edit ?

Is there a way to make php code running on events, like with kl_php ?

Thanks for helping

Has this been tested on 1.6.

I think this is quite a basic requirement to see who created the event
