I have asked a question two times.....really, nobody bothers replying to it.  It's a shame......

Are you talking about that image in the day thing? That's not my code, I haven't even looked at it. You'll have to get the author of that mod-mod to answer questions regarding that.

[Webby]

Yep ( I wasn't talking to you by the way, so don't get me wrong.... )

Can the person who has been writing this contact me?

Where is that handy mod-writer ?!

I have installed this mod using Boardmod with success. I am using mySQL, what is the best way to input the database information. I see where the readme talks about cut an paste changinging the prefix to the one the rest of the DB uses. I don't see where to do this at anywhere. I have created thes table <prefix>calendar(
   id int unsigned auto_increment not null primary key,
   id_board int unsigned not null,
   id_topic int unsigned not null,
   title char(30) not null,
   id_member int unsigned not null,
   month tinyint not null,
   day tinyint not null,
   year smallint not null
 
Although I am really unsure where and what to do with the rest of the information for the holidays. Can anyone please help me. Anyone else who has used boardmod to install this could you give me some tips on what else you done to get the database part working. That is where I am confused Thanks

Did you put a prefix on the tables when you installed the board software? If so, use a text editor and just do a search/replace on "<prefix>" with whatever you used. If your tables are called "yabbse_members"  then you need to replace all of the "<prefix>" with "yabbse_".

You said you created the table... Although you'll need to redo it with the proper prefix on it, or no prefix. The rest of the database statements get run the exact same way you created the table.

What tool did you use to create the table from the create table statement? Use that same tool. You just need to fix all the "<prefix>" and then run all those statements -- same way.

I manually inputed the main tables. I was using MySQL

[Myiasis]

You can just take that entire section of database updates and paste it into the mysql client. Do the search/replace on the <prefix> in a text editor, copy the text to the clip board and paste it into whatever telnet client you are using while connected to the database in mysql.

I installed the mod and insert the statements, but you've to write it without your comments in the 'readme.txt' because I had to insert the statements three times in phpAdmin before all (!) took effect.

Perhaps it works, but not with my database ...

Finally the mod itself works - nice job !

[Jeff Lewis]

A couple of things with this...

1) How do you remove an event from the calendar?
2) When you move a thread the event was posted, it doesn't change it in the calendar.

Now that you mention it, I think I read somewhere that those style of comments were added for convenience recently... Seems familiar anyway. It works on my system here but I have installed the latest release of MySQL. I'll take them out. It's just a habit for me to do them that was from using MS-SQL Server.

It should, there were some changes to the RemoveThread.php and ModifyMessage.php designed to remove the event if the thread is removed via the "Remove Topic" or whatever the admin/mod button says and also if you use the Delete and it's the last remaining message in the thread. Working for me at least.

You can also delete an event from the calendar. The red asterisk that shows up is for editing. It only shows up if you are the creator of the event or admin/global mod. You can delete the event from the Edit Event form.

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

Thanks

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