I have a tiny... or not so very tiny problem with the calendar mod.

I've just installed it, it shows up fine, the menu button shows up, it found availible birthdays and show them as expected. I haven't inserted any holydays in the database yet, because they differ quite a lot from the ones in Sweden, so of course the calendar don't show any holidays.
Some time later... Now I have inserted the fixed holidays. No difference. And I have checked the database table named calendar, my added event is there, but it still doesn't show up in the calendar...

Do you have an error log? Check that to see if there are any PHP or MySql errors happening.

Check the obvious things just in case... You are viewing the same year as the entered event? The month value you see in the calendar table is actually one less than the real month number (0=jan), if you are comparing against the database make sure you are displaying the right month. You are trying to view the event with the same account that created the event? If you are using two accounts to try it out, make sure the event is in a board the viewing account has access to.

What type of account are you testing the board with? An admin account or a regular user account?

Excellent mod Myiasis!

I've been using a seperate calendar for my site, but this is much better. IMHO all message boards should have an integrated calendar of some sort. *hint, hint*  

My forums members and I thank you...  

You're welcome, glad you like it.

No, I haven't. Not that I know about... I don't get any regular error messages, and when I created the tables (I used MyPHPAdmin, copy-pasting directly from the readme) there were no error reports or warnings.

I've checked everything you mentioned, at least twice. And I am testing as admin and posted the event in a board open for all membergroups...

The only thing I can think of now is that I dropped something when I did the modifying... I did it by hand, so it is possible, I guess.

So if no one have any suggestions, I guess I'll better try start from the beginning again...

First of all,  big thanks for this mod,  its perfect for us  
We will get much use for it...    

Just one thing I could have changed, it's that calender events are visible to all,  but the links just work for the right groups,,

Lena,  I enter somthing on the wrong side of the { tonight, I thin it was in the Subs.php  and the calender would not show my events, but still dont give any errors,, it might be the same with you,,,  If you want you can have my files, and try them,,  they are only modifed with the calender mod..

Oh, thanks! You'll get my email in a IM right now...

Thanks to £eo, who mailed me his modifyed files!

But i did a last check in the database before i uploaded them, and what did I found...
"year" in the calendar table was set to TINYINT, so the maximum value for year was 127...
I haven't got a clue how this happend, I'm just happy the problem is solved!

Thanks again, £eo, for your helpfulness!

The event links are only visible to groups who have access to the message. Post a message to a board that only allows specific groups to view it. Then logout and browse the calendar as a guest, or another member account that doesn't have that group access, the calendar event will not show up.

    sorry  bad english,,,  what I want to say is that I would like to have all events visible to all,,,    even when its posted in an restricted board..

Well, if you want to do it to your board, it's really easy to do. That's probably not something I'll implement since if the users can't read them anyway (and will get a board error), I'd rather not have them displayed. You could change your version to show them all the time though.

Find the comment: // See if the user has access to the board this event was posted in.

Beneath that is the if statement that decides whether to show the user the event.  You can just comment out the if by putting "//" (without the quotes) in front of it:
 

Code Select Expand

//if ($cats[$row['id_cat']][0] == "" || $bPowerUser || in_array($settings[7],$cats[$row['id_cat']]))

I can not see button, and it's not work?
Do I have to change anything in MySQL, mean is this a must or not?

No errors in log, and did this by editing all files manually.
All files is uploaded as instruction says...why is this not work. I have activated calendar, next time when going to setup it's not activated...where to find the error?

Did you read the Readme.txt? It's fairly important to do so. Yes, there are SQL changes, they are in the readme.

I would like to make it so only members can post. I do not want guests to post.

any ideas ?

Do you mean just as long as they have a login name you want them to be able to post? I could probably add a switch for that in the settings to allow anybody with a valid login to post regardless of the group assignments.
