UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] UBB Calendar v1.9

freakscene - i just updated the zip with a new ubb_lib_calendar.cgi, upload it and let me know if that helps...

I like to see listed the members status: Administrator, Moderator, Member & Junior Member. Also have the ability to filter using these selections.

Maybe?

Great hack, btw!

Bomb ass Hack Jordo!!!!
Works like a breeze
How can I change the font size to a smaller size?

thanks for the reply!

Thanks jordo, that fixed it Thanks!!!

Superb Hack!!!!!!! (as you well know )

Hey jordo, looks like the new file is causing some errors when people try to update their profile( happening @ UBBDev too ). The changes are saved but it is giving this error:
Just FYI

[ June 20, 2001 08:56 AM: Message edited by: freakscene ]

ok got it fixed (the problem was i slightly changed how it stores data and some old parts didnt like that).

instructions updated with this minor change, but just do the following to fix it (and upload the new ubb_lib_calendar.cgi).


++in ubb_registration.cgi AND ubb_profile.cgi:

++find:

&do_add_event_general("$poster_name's Birthday", "$julian_bdayy", 0, "$poster_name was born on this day <--$in{bdayyear}--> years ago.");

++replace with

grrr, since ubb wont show the new code correctly, find &do_add_event_general in the updated instructions and replace the above line with the new line from the instructions.

Thanks again jordo! Fixed

well, it worked for the first update but now when I try to view the calendar or update the files I am getting this error

Any suggestions?

ok, I re-uploaded the files in the calender folder and it works. I think it was the old way the quote was handled from previously posted events/birthdays.

thanks again!!!

yeah you will need to replace any ' marks in the 3 calendar data files with this : $#180
this should be done before you upload the new ubb_lib_calendar.cgi, or you could also just upload the blank data files.

will the uploaded blank data files refill from the members profiles?

Allen, I think he slipped in a fix for that. Looks like it does not add them in by default, but when they update their profile now. of course I may be seeing things

new version: 1.2

to upgrade:
upload these files (overwriting the old ones) :
public_calendar_display.pl
public_calendar_review.pl
vars_wordlets_calendar.cgi
ubb_lib_calendar.cgi

rehack these files :
ultimatebb.cgi
ubb_lib.cgi
ubb_profile.cgi
ubb_registration.cgi

whats new?
administrators can now delete events.
users can now choose not to have their birthday displayed (and can remove it if it already is).
bugfixes, some unecessary code removed from library file.
some other stuff that ive forgotten at the moment.

Looking good jordo...:)

Way cool jordo! 'Cept now it doesn't like to see an apostrophe in the Event/Description.

Help I get this error after upgrading

OK I have it Going, I re upload the blank files, Is their a way to put the data for the public_calendar_events.cgi etc. back?

I'm dying for a mod like this. I currently use a CGI Calendar script that I pretty much hate, but it's the only thing out there I could find.


Some of the things I'd love to see would be:

• Ability to Turn on/off Birthdays in Control Panel (showing birthday's is something I could care less about)
• Ability to set post access by account - Similar to setting up a forum so that only x members could post, but everyone could read (not sure exactly how you have it now)
• Ability to edit/delete calendar events (I know you can delete now, not sure about edit)
• Fix the inability to post two events with the same name

Every day it seems you add a new feature that I was looking for, so I figured why not post a list It's looking damn good though!

Excellent hack, jordo. I too was getting the "No Exclamation etc..." error, but the new upgrade wiped it out. I love the new features you added. Hopefully you'll decide on adding an edit script to edit the events..

Hey Jordo, great hack. However, that prohibited characters thing has got to go. If a member has a ' in their name right now and they check to have their birthday displayed, it goes haywire. And if you have a ton of people on your forums, you'll be bound to have someone with any single character you pick in their name. I haven't looked through the code to see why you can't use ', but if you can, it needs to be some odd combination of characters instead of that one common character.

Other than that though, it rocks.

Actually, it looks like you are already looking for apostrophes in some places, you just need to add a trap for them in member names.

I can't get this to work. The calendar link won't show up in my $MainButtonsLine. The only part that shows up is the | immediately after the forum home link. It's like it can't read anything after that. Now I can call on the calendar manually by typing in "ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar". And I've noticed some things there too. The | immediately is after the forum home link like before, but there is no option link to add an event. I have to call on it manually by typing in "ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=add_calendar_event". The wordlets are installed because I see them in the CP. In my calendar settings in the CP I have it set to "Any Member may post new events". And finally, on my profile and new register the month, day, and year select boxes are there but again, the wordlets are not showing up to say what it's for. It's just a blank table. I know this is something simple but I am stumped right now.

Anyone knows how to Make it show up in Who is online?

I've encountered another problem: The "Add a New Event" only lets you add the dates 1 through 30 in any given month. Is there any way to have it display the 31st in the drop-down select box for months that contain 31 days?

Painlord, I'd suggest checking to make sure you put the require lines into all the files that need them. If you've already checked to make sure the wordlet files are there, that would be the next place I'd check.

Hello jordo

Discovered two bugs I guess.

The one mentioned here before, that you cant select day 31 when adding an event, neither from the calendar add event form, nor the add event to calendar from the chosen forum that is enabled to add events to calendar.

Also, when adding a calendar event from within the forum which posters will be given the choice to add a calendar event when they post a new topic, the posters user/public name are not showing up in the calendar.

If event posted from within calander, the user/public name shows up.

Suggestion:

• It would be nice to be able to choose/enable several forums to allow adding events to the Calendar.
• Putting the naming of dates and months, and some other displayed textfields in the CP Wordlet, for us non english speaking people.

What about a contest for the best hack?
I definately vote for this one

Thanks Ramirez. That worked
I discovered a bug too. If you make your event title into a link, it will add it but you can't delete it. Like if you put

My wordlet setting dropdown in cp.cgi is completely GONE!!!

Please help, please help.. can you just tell me what file controls that, then ill rehack it.. thanks

**** nevermind, fixed it.. stupid space between something and a < ****

I really have been wanting this type of add-on. But I agree with one of the above post. I need to be able to restrict the users that can access it. Just like I restrict them to certain forums.

I saw in one of your pictures, it said access to adding events "may be restricted", can you actually do that?

Thanks

right now event posting can either be open to all members or restricted to only admins. thats what the "may be restricted" line means...

gaulalauk - you can change the month and day names at the top of ubb_lib_calendar.cgi...ill try to wordletize them all sometime.

event editing will be in the next version. we'll see about event posting rights by user.

[ June 25, 2001 12:07 PM: Message edited by: jordo ]

Think you might be able to fix the bug with apostrophes in user names in the next version?

yeah apostrophes will be fixed, and allowed in event titles and descriptions as well.

Hey jordo,
Possible bug (or possible bad install on my part)
I have been noticing that when people on my board change their public name, it just adds another listing for their birthday as opposed to replacing the old one.

Has anyone else seen this on their boards?

<<< Example >>>

Another guy had 5 entiries but I deleted the 4 old ones.

just fyi

New Version: 1.3
zips updated

To Upgrade from last version (1.2):

redo:

ubb_new_topic.cgi
ubb_profile.cgi

upload:

ubb_lib_calendar.cgi
whats new?:

Editing of event (titles and descriptions) now possible.
fixes 30 days in dropboxes bug.
fixes usernames not showing up from forum integration bug (usernames are not supposed to show up for birthdays).
properly deletes old username birthday when users change their Public name.
fixed apostraphes in usernames, event titles, and descriptions.
proper handlink of links/html code.

gonna install this right now

Bugreport version 1.3

• Event addet from integrated forum shows up 27 days back in time in the calendar, and not TODAY, even if that is the default value preset in the add new topic page.
• Event added from the integrated forum is not deleted or edited, when delited or edited in the calendar. (I guess this is not a bug, but just something I mention anyway)
• The same goes if the message created from the integrated forum is deleted or edited from within that forum, nothing changes in the calendar. (I guess this is not a bug either, but it would be nice to have the effect that changes one place also take effect on the other place belonging to the same event)

Nice, nice , nice

Well, I updated from 1.2 and if I didn´t upgrade in a wrong way, there are still the problems with the characters. I used ´ for example, then I got software-errors (extremly important for french users I think, here in Germany, we don´t use it often ;-)

The second thing is that the events show up in times new roman in the detailed view.

But the other things work fine - I will try the profile and so on later...

I just installed this and everything looks great but when I go to change the settings in CP I get no options on the settings page. I rehacked all the files that start with cp like cp_lib.cgi etc and still no setting options are showing up.?? Any clues on what is wrong?

When i goto the Calendar page . . . it'sa blank screen, nothing pops up, do i need to post an event to make everything load up or what?
