Hi!
I badly need a solution for adding a default text in the fields "events description" and "contact info".

Text should be changeable in admin area and already displayed in the fields when adding a new event.

Is that possible?
I am not a coder myself so if I have to change the code please advise in detailed form ;-)
Thank you very much

Hi Tus,

From another topic I found out how to set a default value for events. I don't know however how to place it in the admin area, maybe someone else knows that.

To set a default value for events;
1) open the admin_events.php located in components/com_jcalpro/
2) Look for the following code:

// No HTTP post or get requests found. THESE ARE THE DEFAULT VALUES FOR ADDING NEW EVENTS:
                  $form['calendar'] = '1';
         $form['autoapprove'] = true;
         $form['end_days'] = '0';
         $form['end_hours'] = '4';
         $form['end_minutes'] = '0';
         $form['start_time_hour'] = '8';
         $form['start_time_minute'] = '0';
         $form['start_time_ampm'] = 'am';
         $form['day'] = $day;
         $form['month'] = $month;
         $form['year'] = $year;
         $form['title'] = 'default txt here';
         $form['description']='default txt here:';
         $form['contact']='default txt here';
         // initial values for recurrence
         $form['recur_type_select'] = '0';
         $form['recur_type_1'] = 'day';
         $form['recur_val_1'] = '1';
         $form['recur_ord'] = '';
         $form['recur_ordinal_days'] = '';
         $form['recur_end_type'] = '0';
         $form['recur_end_count'] = '1';
         $form['recur_until_day'] = $day;
         $form['recur_until_month'] = $month;
         $form['recur_until_year'] = $year;
         $form['exclude_day'] = $day;
         $form['exclude_month'] = $month;
         $form['exclude_year'] = $year;
         $form['duration_type'] = '1';
      }

If you take a look at the $form['description'] you can see how to put the value in there. You can also change the other default settting here (eg. default duration atc.)

Hope this helps you a little bit.
