Hi hartball38,

Q1.what is the function of Finish Display,how does it work.

A1. Finish Display, only to use for listing pages (eguide/index.php or blocks).

Q2.how can I set a start time at 1330 and close time at 1340 ,and it will show at 1330 auto(not show when I finish the setting,and peolpe can sign up after 1330 only )

A2. Setting "Close time before: -10min"

Dear:
In my test.
"Event Date Time" maybe "event den time"
"Close time before" is depend on "Event Date Time" to close.

Finish Display ? which cloumn is depended to.

Now ,I can't new a event in 17:30,and i want it show until 17:40 auto.
beacuse the event i builded,it show and can be sgign?

This figure is Event Guide module time model.


The time setting "Event Date Time" with relative time span.

NOTE: Status change not automatic, need confirm by admin (if need it, setting module preferences).

Thank for your help.
but I still have some confuse about the relative time span.
Simplely.I want my event start at 16:00 and close at 16:20
SO,i set the
event Date time:16:21
close time before:1 min(at this time user can't sign any more)
finish Display:5 min(the this event will not display after 16:25)

Is it clear.

Will it have some change at next version,just have tow Date-Time funtion.
just start and end Date Time.

Thank
