%event_desc = (
Public chat => "This is only a testpost",
);
1;

Very cool.

A good idea would be making spaning events. Admins and mods could span a message over a series of days. It would save the admins the trouble of adding the one event on 4 different days.

I was wondering, can users view past events and dates on the calender? Because if so then you could add many features like 1, 2, 3 year anniverseries, 1000, 10000 post anniverseries, mark when new admins/mods joined the forum team, stuff like that.

Tested on 6.04e and no problems

Much needed facility Jordo, and yes was very easy to install, however as with previous posts I had 'similar' issues.

Upon further tests, there are a couple of annomolies:

• Add event defaults to the NEXT day, have to reselect the date to be entered for today.
• First event added worked fine, second event wipes out previous event entry
• Enter a space or special character in the title and it comes up with the syntax error as previously described.

Otherwise a GREAT addition and a much sought after one by us, keep it comeing

Using ver 604d

Hi,

yes, this is really great - go on developing, I think this hack will be one of the best UBB hacks when finished.

Dennis

Salmon - error fixed, reupload ubb_lib_calendar.cgi and the 2 files in the calendar dir.

Balbanes - yes your can view any past events, those are some very good ideas and i will most definetly try to incorporate them by the next version or so!

boondock - i hope you meant "no" problems

air_borg - fixed the day dropdown box, not sure about the adding a second event problems, i havent been able to replicate that hopefully it was related to the space/special chars bug which is now fixed.

you may now include any space or special character except for exclamation points (it will give you a FYI message if you try to put one in). zip updated like i said above, just upload ubb_lib_calendar.cgi to upgrade.

MasterMind - thats just a require call that failed so either the file is corrupt/not there, or the 1; is missing at the end. open up public_calendar_events.cgi and it should look like this:


im almost done with making the main display of it templated, and wordletizing it, so there'll be a new version later today.

jordo --
Uploaded the file, loaded the calendar. After a failed attempt at adding an event, no more 1;

any demos or screenshots, i'm at work and i suck that's why i need a screenshot / demo.


Ok, so i stole that line from " bad boys " .. but hey.. it sounded cool.

original quote " i'm a comedian and i suck , that's why i need ya car "

demo?

i didnt post a demo cause its continually changing (and im testing it on a non-connected webserver), but here are a few screenshots from the version that will be coming out later today.

Top of the Calendar Page:
http://www.jordodesigns.com/calendartop.gif

Bottom of the Calendar Page:
http://www.jordodesigns.com/calendarbot.gif

Add a new event page:
http://www.jordodesigns.com/calendarevent.gif

zip updated to 0.9d
Changes:
various bugfixes and new error checking when posting an event.

completely templateized and wordletized.

To upgrade:

upload the following files, overwriting the old ones (if they exist):
ubb_lib_calendar.cgi
vars_wordlets_calendar.cgi
public_new_calendar_event.pl
public_calendar_display.pl

upload public_event_posters.cgi to your "calendar" directory.

add the new line in ultimatebb.cgi (the require line, not the first addition)

do the modifications for all files in instructions after ubb_lib.cgi (thats cp.cgi, cp_wordlets.cgi, and cp_common.pl

upgrade complete.

Guys,

I just installed the Calender Mod and when I go to ad an event I get the following error. Please help cause I dont know what to do.

syntax error at /www/nitrosim/cgi-bin/calendar/public_calendar_events.cgi line 2, near "FC Challenge"

Here a link to my ubb http://www.nitrosim.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

can you cut and past the contents of public_calendar_events.cgi here? that would help.
you used the latest version (0.9d) i assume?

Jordo,

I have gotten it to work. Its seems to only work when the Subject is 1 word. It Will not take say a subject as "TVM FC Challenge"

Also is there ar way to restrict access to on admins?

Jordo,

I downloaded it this morning. I didnt notice that you have updated it already... Lemme see if that fixes the problem with the subject.

Jordo,

Here you go....

%events = (
TVM Challenge => "2452071",
);
1;

NitroSimSev - edit that file and put quotes around TVM Challenge so it looks like "TVM Challenge" that will fix it. the newest version does this automatically so you should be able to put spaces in with no problem.

Jordo I upgraded to the newest version off the link above and it still does it.

I got this error this morning...


Content-type: text/html
Software error:
syntax error at /www/nitrosim/cgi-bin/calendar/public_calendar_events.cgi line 2, near "Kick Off"
For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([email protected]), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.


I will go in and put the "" around it.

Comeing along nicely, previous bugs I had encountered, seem to have been resolved. Great work so far.

Great work !

NitroSimSev - i looked at your board and from the display it doesnt seem to be the latest version... the latest version looks like the screenshots i posted above. reupload ubb_lib_calendar.cgi make sure it overwrites the old file...

still screwed up.. not returning a true value.

MM - it messed up only when you tried to add an event and that didnt work? did it say it had added the event then give that error or did it say anything else? this is persistent even in the new version? - did you upgrade or clean install to the new version?

sorry im answering with so many questions, but i cant replicate the bug in any way.

It Work now that Jordo.....

Question:

How can I restrict the access to only admins?

It happens. I dont know why.

NitroSimSev - in ubb_lib_calendar.cgi:


[ June 10, 2001 07:06 PM: Message edited by: jordo ]

MM - try deleting all the old files and upgrading cleanly to the new version. i dont know what could be going wrong sorry

let you know..

Excellent work Jordo, really looking forward to the birthday field integration

wierd question


everything wrks fine when i dont add any events
i add an event boom it doesent loasd the whole page. i try to remove the problem which is only $standard_title_table n it give me n error
wierd eh?

jigga - upgrade to latest, you have an old version of ubb_lib_calendar.cgi. sorry, i know im changing versions as fast as infopop is changing ubb versions hehehe.


zip updated with new version 1.0a

a few little bugfixes/touchups and
The new feature:
Member birthday integration.
members can now edit their profile to add a birthday. the birthday profile field is field 55 so it will be ubb6.1 compliant (thanks allen ). newly registering users will also be able to set their birthday when they register. the birthdays are automatically added to the calendar events list, with a nice description. changing your birthday will delete your old birthday entry from the calendar and replace it, so no worries.

to upgrade from 0.9d

do all the modifying instructions from ubb_lib.cgi down, the files are:

ubb_lib.cgi
ubb_profile.cgi
ubb_registration.cgi
public_edit_profile.pl (Template)
public_register_page.pl (Template)

reupload ubb_lib_calendar.cgi

YES!!

This and polls have been a "pet" project of mine for many months jordo... thank you thank you thank you :D:D:D

About the only feature that might be added would be to have a field in the announcements forum that you could type a date in to correspond to the announcement and the title for the announcement (or a secondary "event title") would appear in the calendar with a link back to the announcement - this might prove to add too much complexity to it, but just a thought

excellent work tho...

Allen - that shouldn be too hard, i'll try to get it in by the next version.

workin perfectly now
thanks

had to do some mods to the add new calendar thjough
fixed the html n stuff
if u want the completed .pl file just ask
