I think this is an excellent hack, and would like to see more of it. I don't want to sound demanding, so let me say right now I am willing to do a lot of the work.
The title of this thread is Calendar Features Requests. Well, there are several posts done by Poil on the calendar that is there, but in keeping with the spirit of the subject, here are the features I would like to see.
- The Admin can designate a board to display as a Message Board or Calendar. Calendars will act as their own boards, and will have all the board-level security features that UBBThreads has to offer.
- Calendar Events have javascript pop-ups that show their information in a separate and temporary window using DHTML.
- Month, Week, and Day views are available. The Admin will choose a default view for each one, but a user should be able to change that in his/her preferences.
- A Calendar should be able to show events from different groups in different colors.
- For meetings as an example, Calendar entries should be made with a custom form that can list an agenda, or subject matter as well as a contact.
- There should be a default set of entries that is board-wide, configured by the admin, that list holidays and other special events that will show through on all calendars.
- An ability to change time zone offset for calendar entries should be given to each user. This will help in things like scheduling conference calls, where a west coast person would see it in their own time if an east coast person set it up.
- Complete documentation for this hack should be created.
Again, I hope I don't come across wrong. It is my opinion that this single feature is possibly the best idea that anyone has had for this program. I can't begin to express how happy I am with what Poil has done, and think he should be listed in the credits in the final version. I am just trying to standardize a list of features for this fine hack, and hope others will join in and help.
I think I can help with a lot of the coding here. I haven't really sunk my teeth into the current make-up of UBBThreads, but if someone who knows it inside and out is willing to work with me we should be able to incorporate all these features and possibly more. I can be reached at
