[Done] Calendar Mod [Ver 1.4]

[Andre]

I'm using a norwegian language file for YabbSE 1.4. The calendar seems to be working but it doesnt display the Birthdays on the front page even when i know someone indeed have a birthday.

I'm using boardindex from the 1.3 version to increase the speed, is that the problem?

PS: I allso have a site using the english.lng and i have no problems there.

Please help!

Is there a way to show a week's, or even a month's (basically customizable) worth of events in the info center as opposed to just the current day's?

Also, is it possible to display the info center style calendar in a particular board and not just in the info center?

thanx

Gday sweet as mod...was waiting for somebody to make it...and u did an even better job then I could of hoped for...

I need help...I want to include the days events on the front page of the website (like the ssi functions). I was going to do this by doing an include of "Calendar.php?function=calendardoindex" which didnt work
Part of the problem is that I am also using membergroups...

I guess ideally would be able to make "day" a parameter so we can just show that day...

Plz help

Hi:

I tried to comment out the Birthday member group in Calendar.php like this:

// $bday = CalendarCreateBirthdayArray($monthp1,$year);

It seems to work so far. Will it have reprocussions somwhere down the line?

No, that should be fine to comment out that.

The CalendarDoIndex function should work fine as long as all of the normal globals are set up. I haven't seen the SSI functions you are referring to so I don't have a frame of reference for that...

One thing to note about that function is it was designed to add itself into the table at the bottom of the board index. The HTML that it spits out is formatted for table rows <tr> and columns <td>. You'll need to make sure that whatever HTML you are inserting it into has prepared the table tag ahead of time to format the output. And you'll need to follow the function call with the closing table tag.

There isn't currently a way to do it in place. If you are handy with PHP coding, all of the code to do something like that already exists. You can look at how the calendar currently prepares the data for displaying the month. The output of the calendar format is done after the data is prepared you could change it to display however you liked (as another function most likely) for the board index.

I don't know, I've never looked at the SSI stuff. I assume if the SSI stuff is designed to let you display board-related information on another web page that it sets up all the globals. Maybe take a look at some of the other functions to see what they are doing before displaying board data.

Hi,

So far I thought the calendar was working fine, but a few members have mentioned that they cant find the link to calendar buttons!

it turns out that only admins and mods can see them

I dug around for a bit and noticed the amount of rows  in the settings table that the calendar was using. (see below - direct copy from phpmyadmin)

it looks like the table has duplicates - can I just delete some of the duplicates? will it crash the calendar?

Yes, it's safe to delete the duplicates. It might be easier to just delete all of the cal_% rows and then grab the mod file (from first post in this thread) and reinstert the data.

Thanks Myiasis

I'll do that.

Is this Mod available for YaBB SE 1.3 as well?

The mod is written for YaBBSE 1.3.1. You can take the link from the first post and install it with BoardMod on a 1.3.1 board. It comes installed as part of YaBBSE 1.4.

You can now create a calendar event from an already posted message. The button is found with the other topic-related buttons (sticky, move, etc...). The button will show up for Global Mods, Admins, Moderators of that specific board or the creator of the topic -- assuming they also have access to posting events.

I have cleared up my duplicate tables for cal_settings and upgraded to 1.4.1 and added a few mods! it all works great!

Just one question left to answer, if you have time  ,
Is there a way to enable the 'link to calendar' button for all users?

If you look in Display.php and search for "Calendar": If you comment out the if statement right below the // Calendar comment it will put the link to calendar button there for anybody who has rights to post on the calendar.

Current Code:

Code Select Expand

   // Calendar.
   if(in_array($username,$moderators) || $settings[7] == 'Administrator' || $settings[7] == 'Global Moderator' || ($username == "$topicinfo[posterName]" && $username != 'Guest'))

Change to:

Code Select Expand

   // Calendar.
   // if(in_array($username,$moderators) || $settings[7] == 'Administrator' || $settings[7] == 'Global Moderator' || ($username == "$topicinfo[posterName]" && $username != 'Guest'))
