[Done] Calendar Mod [Ver 1.4]

[Myiasis]

I mean if i post it to general board and move it to test board, it still points to the old location

Oh yah, I didn't mess with any move code. I stored the board number along with the event to avoid having to join in any tables to figure out how to build the url to display it. I'll put the Move Topic on my todo list.

I have installed your lovely calendar mod. Is it possible to just post an event without linking it to a post/thread??

No it is designed to only post events as messages. Mostly because of size constraints of fitting the information on the calendar. The event text is currently set to 30 characters max to prevent huge/cluttering event names -- the idea being the event title is a short reminder while the body of the message can describe the details.

I found the info on the comments on the MySQL.com site. Looks like it's only version 3.23.3+ and on top of that it's really picky in how you use them. I know I have in some places 3 dashes in a row which according to the documentation isn't allowed.

I've changed all the comments to use # instead. The file with these changes is online now (same link as the first message).

Oh I just realized you have the calendar installed on this site now. Woo!

Thanks.  Programmer for a living -- I've a bit of practice --  been coding for the last 15 years or so (although probably only 9 or 10 professionally). I'll have to admit that I haven't ever used PHP and MySQL before.  PHP is so close to C though, and MySQL close enough to MS's SQL Server that there isn't very hard to pick up. If you notice anything coded blaringly stupid feel free to comment on it, I can take the criticism. It is written somewhat like I would have tackled it in C and I don't know if that will come out the best PHP code or not.

Wow, 4 posts in a row, even that would make Omario cringe..  

Who's Omario? He a spam cop? First couple I just wanted to use the quote feature to replied to two message and the last two just happened to be unrelated and I don't like modifying my messages to add in the new spew unless the new stuff is related.

I am still having a time with this database thing. I can email someone a screen shot of what this database consists of so far. I believe I have the first table created fine;yabbse_calendar. I get lost when you alter table yabbse_calendar add index idx_year_month (year, month) Then I went to me yabbse_settings and I have two entries there variable, which is tinytext, and values, which is text. Where do I need to put 'cal_minnyear',''2001' and the rest of the yabbse_settings? I am probably making this waaaaaaaaay too dificult. I used boardmod to submit the mod to my board. I haven't uploaded it to the server yet because of the MySql database questions. Should I see what I have? I am completely lost can someone please help?   Thanks
