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

Rinkrat & dizturbd - make sure you have all the new templates uploaded to the template directory and no other dir. if your getting white pages that is most likely the problem. if not i would need some more info/a link.

Yeah I guess it helps when you upload the cp_vars_calendar.pl.


That did the trick!

Two things I would like to see.

A quick month list, so I could click say 1 to jump to January or something. Back and next are ok, if you are close to where you wanna go. A little mini cal in one of the corners with the months would look decent I think.

The other this is user selectable access to add events. In a perfect world I would like to be able to assign users the "Calendar" group or something so they can write events. Not just admins or mods.

I haven't installed the hack, but have been watching the progress and checking it out here... very nice Jordo! This is something that has been needed for a LONG time.

Just a few minor bug reports. None of which bother me jordo. Just thought I'd report them.

The apostrophe problem is solved except when one is encountered in the event description, it's displayed as <--quote-->

If some numbskull (like me) chooses the 31st for the event date in which there are only 30 days, it adds it to the following month.

After editing an event, you are thanked for deleting the event, however, it really doesn't delete it.

Even with those minor things, the hack works perfect. Excellent job.

gaulalauk - the event seems to add at the right date for me...ill see if i can replicate that and get back to you. i also could edit and delete the event fine from the "prune events" link. thats a good idea for having the editing of the message cause the event to be edited, ill look into that.

dbode - i put in some filtering for the ` mark (as opposed to ' which i concentrated on). ill see where im missing it and get that fixed. also right now a little of the html is still in ubb_lib_calendar.cgi and not the Template file (its a do not a require so moving out some of the stuff is a pain) but if you find this line in that file, youll see the html for the events details a little below:

Troy - im planning on putting dropdown poxes for month / year selection at the bottom of the calendar display page (meant to do it in this version, doh). so that should make navigation easier. and as soon as i decide on the best way to handle individual user permission ill get it coded up - most likely ill add a checkbox with the rest of the user permission boxes in the cp user view.

Spot - looks like i missed a filtering somewhere. thanks for lettin me know ill get it fixed for the 31st part, i decided to have it work that way rather than throw in another error checking routine as there are a lot of them right now, and im working on cleaning up and slimming down the code a bit. and for the message when editing an event it actually shares the wordlet with deleting an event, so you can change it from the cp wordlets calendar tab.

Sweet!!!

I have a good idea....

a popup window of the event listings, and if you want you can click on the month and it give you the entire months listings.... Just an idea

This mod rocks. I have a hockey site and it's a perfect place to add the schedule!

new version: 1.4

to upgrade from 1.3

hack:

cp_users.cgi

re-upload: (overwriting the existing ones)

ubb_lib_calendar.cgi
cp_vars_calendar.pl
vars_wordlets_calendar.cgi
public_calendar_display.pl


new in this version
calendar permissions. if calendar event posting is set to restricted, then there will be an option in the user permissions page for each user to add them to the calendar group. this will allow only the selected users (and admins) to post new calendar events.

month jump box, for easier navigation.

quotes problems should all be fixed.

month and day names are now wordletized.

various bugfixes.
enjoy

Awesome! Now I gotta make it a MHK file(part of my vow to not install any hacks on my board without it. hehe). Well, I have the next 9 days off of work so I think I'll clean up and tweak my OWN BB. hehe You now have everything I wanted in this hack(so far as I can think of right now). hehe Kick butt job Jordo!

GREAT WORK !

I´m gonna upgrade right now - thanks for this awesome hack !

Dennis

Great job!

I only think you should change the lines "Event ForAny Date (Some days before/after/today/whatever)" and "No Events Scheduled ForToday" to look more ubb-stylish (font face, size...).

In my field at the bottom the Month isn't showing up, just


Events for 26, 2001(88 days from today)

[ June 30, 2001 07:53 PM: Message edited by: Rinkrat ]

Thanks for this hack. I just added it to my board and it works perfectly.

A few requests and suggestions though for a future version.

Can wordlets be created for the text that shows up in the event that currently says '(username) was born on this day x years ago'? My board caters to parents and they will be entering the birthdays of their children (twins) not themselves, so I'd like to customize that to says '(username)'s twins were born on this day x years ago'.

Likewise, I'd like to be able to use a wordlet for Birthday when it shows up on the calendar. There is a wordlet for birthday but it only controls the sign-up page in the profile, not the display on the actual calendar entry.

In the listing of events for a certain month it says Events for xx (the date), (the year). Can it also say the month in front of the date?

Finally is there a way to change the color of the text in the area under 'add a new event' Right now it's in white and my background table colors are too light for white text.

I just checked Twinspin's calendar and the Month isn't showing up there either so it must be a bug in the hack. Same with a couple of others:

Termine für 1, 2001 (Today)
Events for 30, 2001(Today)

Also, I don't know IF I missed this in the instructions But:

To Add a desciption in the CP Edit Profile Page, where it shows the Calendar, & the box to add it, there is No description line, and thus looks a bit off from the rest of the forum listings....

FIX:
in CP_USERS.CGI

FIND:
$forum_names{c} = "Calendar";

AFTER ADD:
$forum_status{c} = "Allow access to post Events to the Calendar";

The above is JUST in case its not in the current revision, 8).

ALSO, please help.... When I use the CP to edit a users profile, It drops out that user's birthday 8), considering the field is not in the CP listing, it just resets it back to 01/01/01...

I upgraded on my test board and works wonders! Thanks Man!

Events forJuly 17, 2001(15 days from today)

Event Description Posted By
maxim´s Birthday maxim was born on this day 101 years ago.

101 years ago? I guess it is taken off of the UBB profile page. Not much you can do about it, but...hehe

nice work jordo...:)

Quick question. Does this log IPs when users post events? We need to be able to ban members that abuse the calendar system

LK - after im sure its bugfree ill make it look a little nicer, you can customize that kind of thing from the templates too.

Rinkrat, Troy, etc - ill fix that missing monthname in the next version, i wordletized the months for the last version and i guess i forgot to redo that part.

twinspin - yep, there are a number of small things i have yet to wordletize, ill make that a priority for the next version.

ampere - ill fix that up a little. i hadnt put any effort into making that part look nice, i just wanted it to work correctly
and ill fix the CP user profile editing, i had forgotten about that

Troy - heh, they can put in whatever year they want,

Ramirez - no it doesnt log ips, but it does log login names, so you can pull their ip off one of their posts...

jordo - I'm running v1.1. Would I be able to upgrade to v1.4 easily?

Thanks.

Thanks Jordo....

The CP Edit Profile thing is a REAL PAIN!!!, Cuz i'm always granting access to private forums.. (about 10-15 times a day )... and each time they loose their birthday 8(..

I look forward to it!

stilgar - i would uninstall and reinstall it. you could look through this thread and follow the directions for upgrading from 1.1-1.2-1.3 etc, but i dont recommend that.


the zip has been updated with a fix for the CP edit profile bug. just follow the directions for cp_users.cgi in the updated calendar.txt to fix it.

jordo - Great hack, really.

What I like to see is the ability for members with the permission to add a event to edit this event later.

If you could work that into a future version, I'd love it. We have some 'fans' that might register and just start posting things on the calendar without ever posting in the forums. Then we wouldn't be able to IP ban them. Thanks for the continued support and additions to this hack, BTW.

hi jordo,


great hack so far,

but i got a little problem....

when I installed your hack everything works great but

if I try to get the recent_user_posts from a member it shows me an error

Undefined subroutine &main::recent_user_posts called at ./ultimatebb.cgi line 616.

without your hack it works may anybody check his board if he got the same problem maybe?

an answer would be nice

thnx so far

PsYc

No problem, works fine here.

Psyc - make sure you added everything in ubb_profile.cgi correctly, expecially the lines beginning with "print FILE".

Jordo...

Looks great. I like the drop-down for the Month. Same for Year would rock.

Re: Born 101/102 Years ago. Mine says the same, since it's set to 06 Jan 1900. For those who want their birthday posted, but lie about their age, a profile setting to not show year would be a plus.

-Tacks

I tested this... IT doesn't drop the birthday anymore... But IS it supposed to show the users birthday when you're editing the profile.. cuz I still don't see it anywhere??

no it doesnt show the users birthday when you edit their profile. i left that out intentionally.

Everything working 100% as designed... Thanks much for all your time & support Jordo.. You are a TOP Notch UBB 'hacker' 8)..

I dunno if i've done anything wrong.. but in the field thats optional for posting in forum i put the name of the forum to post in.. and when i added an event it didn't show up???

Will it not show until that date.. or is it supposed to show as soon as i've added it.

Also if it doesn't show until that date... is there anyway i can get it to show as soon as it's posted too?

Thanx in advance

jordo, please include your credits in the code so everyone can see whos the author of this baby

and find a way to do it with your great UBBIntegratedPoll hack too

tx !!!

?? but i can´t add a event in a topic !


?????????????????????

# add calendar event?
require "$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_calendar.cgi";
if ($in{f} == $vars_calendar{calendar_forum}) {
and in vars_calendar i see only:

%vars_calendar = (
who_can_post => "all",
use_name => "login",
color_selected => "#ffaaaa",
color_notinmonth => "#aaaaaa",
color_today => "#ffffcc",
color_event => "#ddffdd",
);


where is calendar_forum ???


[ www.chat-board.de ]

1;

you set calendar_forum through the calendar control panel.

hi jordo

1) can u change the new_calendar_event formular like the "new_topic formular" ? so u can insert UBBCode and not only HTML ...

2) center the header in your .pl files

3) !!! i can´t make a new event with the new topic page ...

>>> test it on: www.chat-board.de >>> city news >>> name:test1 password: test1 >>> write a new topic and show the "Kalender".


hope u understand my english and my site (in german)

! if i insert a new event in my "special" topic - he write it to files - right !!!

but calendar can´t read this.???
