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

jordo

I installed latest Calendar multihack format, and discovered that the calender only use the standard style template.

It will not show up in the other template I have for the rest of the board.

Bug...or something wrong with the multihack, conflict with other hacks or what could it be?

Sorry..not your hack, it was the chat mod that made the problem

just delete these two messages, their just disturbing

Jordo,

I would like to see the b-days on the forum, like "Today's Birthdays:"
Do you think you can build that in, that would be great.

how can help me ?

1) in calendar.ssi - i can only see the event name. can everybody change this to see a part or all of the description too ?

2) change the "new event formular" like to a "new_topic" formular (incl. ubb_code)

3) center the header

4) the function "ad a new event in a spezial topic" do not work on my board - it show me everytime the last day in the selected month.
(i select 07/14/2001 and become 07/31/2001)

5) make it to delete the event if u delete the topic


i´m every time your friend

Bugreport:

If someone's birthday is in the calendar and he modifies his profile again, then the birthday is added to the calender again... so it is shown twice

jordo

Installed latest multihack format

and discovered some bugs I guess....

Earlier in this thread I posted a message, saying that an event added from within the forum that allowed adding calendar events, the event would show up 27 days back in time, and not on the day it was added.

With your latest hack something similar happen. When adding an event from the event enabled forum, it now shows up 12 days back in time, instead of "today" or the day it was supposed to show up.

Perhaps this is what Devastor and melder has discovered. The message IS THERE in the calendar somewhere, but not where they expect it to be.

I also have same problem as melder, he talks about june/30/2001, and thats the day where my testmessages also go when added from the forum. I expected them to show up today at 12.07.01

When I delete the topic in the event enabled forum, the event in the calendar is still there. Is this a bug, or have you not implemented that function yet?

Great work anyway

i havent added the delete when you delete the thread part yet, so thats not a bug. ill look at the code for the event adding with topic, and see whats up with that.

ok I found a bug with the SSI: If you use a quote in title like : "me's party" you will get in SSi table :"me<--quote-->s party"

also for the thread integrated calender event, it would be nice to have an option in order to have available only for mods and admin

also, the ability of choosing more than one forum for calendar integration would be cool.

yes gaulalauk - thats my words

[ July 12, 2001 01:36 AM: Message edited by: melder ]

and plz add a yearselectbox in "calendar_display.pl" after the $month_options ...

[ www.chat-board.de ]

How do i move that today's events table from the bottom of the calendar display, to the top? Every time i modify it, i get a white page! Can someone help me out?

found a little something, not a bug just a little layout bug

the page footer is included inside calendar table which may cause problem in some layouts. For exemple in one of my forum header opens a table and footer closes it. which of course can't happen here since footer is inside a table

anyone?????

Jordo, please help me ...

I'll try the quick version of the question first

I have implemented v1.1, 1.3 & finally 1.4 of the calendar hack on my UBB v6.04e.... (default user field 55 - line 56)

I also have the 4 additional custom user profile entries hack installed (using fields 56-69 -- lines 57-60) [which are required upon registration]

When a user registers, AND selects a birthday & the checkbox, It puts all the data in the correct fields/lines - but somehow it adds an additional line the the end of the profile... (BUT it seems to work anyways, and displays the correct info, and puts it in the calendar perfectly...)

When a user doesn't click the box, It's not putting in a blank entry for it, instead, the four custom profiles all get saved one entry up (i.e. fields 55-58 - lines 56-59) AND it ends the file @ line 59, thus not creating the extra entry like the above issue.

Below is a link to a current backup copy of my registration files.... Let me know if you want to see others!

[LINK REMOVED]... But there were only two files, and they were setup put on a ftp with private UN & PW, and posted only deep inside a UBB v6 Mods in Beta thread 8)... It'll be OK 8)...

Chuck - you mean $Footer ? thats the last thing printed on the page. i dont know if im missing something, but i dont know how it could be inside one of the $TBTs opened by the calendar? thanks for your other suggestions too. ill add the permission checking routines to the post new topic part, so it is the same as what youve selected for the main calendar. i need to do some work on the SSI, i just threw it in at the last moment so if people wanted it they have the option, ill spruce it up a bit and fix the quote thing when i get a chance.


psychopathic - in public_calendar_display.pl move $thedaysevents to just below these lines:

$thismonth $yeartem

$TBT


humble [ThC] - im not sure exactly why it isnt printing the newline, but try changing this line (in ubb_registration.cgi):

else { print MEMBERSHIP ("n"); }

to this:

if ($in{bday} ne 'add') { print MEMBERSHIP ("n"); }

also having ubb files on a server open to the public is not allowed, so you might want to take that down before you get in trouble.
i havent had a chance to look at the topic adding code and fix it yet, for all those that have posted about it, but i will today at some point.

i updated the instructions for ubb_new_topic.cgi, it was working fine on my testing board, i think i didnt have the latest code in the instructions for that part though, cause they werent the same. so its updated now and should work right.

Event added from forum now shows up on correct day

Jordo... Thanks again for your help!!!, although That didn't fix it...

AFTER several more hours of testing I have the BUG figured out EXACTLY.... Just still need one TiNY bit of help to get me by my troubles!!!

Turns out....

Upon Registration, It puts everything in the correct place... (adds an extra line, which is wierd, but that's not the 1/2 of it). [i.e. making it 60 fields - 61 lines]

Now, upon Registration APPROVAL!!!, It's actually removing a line somewhere in the middle where all the reserved slots are... because, the bday & four custom fields are there, but they get moved one field up [i.e. bday is @ field 54 - line 55 (should be 55/56) and it keeps the extra empty line @ the end...

What i've been doing to fix it.

Going to the bottom of the user's profile. (Ctrl-PGDN)
Hitting backspace, to bring it up a line...
Then going above the birthday & adding a line, to move it down.
Saving....
Then everything works & displays perfect...

I'll PM you with a new private login to a new backup folder with the entire cgi-bin & noncgi/templates folders...

Thanks VERY much again!!!! (You got my 5 Star Vote!!!)

BTW - if your having trouble listing the directorys try with PASV off... if that doesn't work, try reconnecting 8)

and it fixes problem

i have edit the "ubb_new_topic.cgi" and the events in topics works fine - tx

-

can u add in the calender_display.pl after the pulldown 4 month - a pulldown 4 years ?

[ www.chat-board.de ]

humble - ygpm

Chuck - it closes the $TB_ before that, like so:


the last part is outside of the table, is that causing the prob?

melder here - hi

new events in topic - dont show me the author - can u change this too.?

it is, check your PM I'll show you what I mean

jordo, I changed some things in public_calendar_*.pl, ubb_lib_calendar.cgi, ubb_lib.cgi (first part) and vars_wordlets_calendar.cgi, so it will look better and support UBBCode and smilies. Want the updated ZIP? (I didn't make the smilies & UBBCode's HTML change back to smilies & UBBCode in edit yet)

BTW Chuck, check http://lkubb.dns2go.com?ubb=calendar , is that what you mean?

[ July 15, 2001 03:21 PM: Message edited by: LK ]

chuck - thanks for showing me that, i see what you mean now. does $standard_title_table open and not close a $TBT, cause all mine seem to be closed. either way ill add that in to fix it

LK - sure, pm me and ill talk to you more about the changes. ive been meaning to look at how the ubbcode sub wants stuff passed to it and do it, but havent gotten around to it.

jordo, if you already got my PM download it again, I've added a reverse feature

Hi,
Quick question. I installed the hack and set the "moderators and admin" only option. My moderaters can't get in. The administrator can, but it doesn't seem to recognize the moderators.

I looked through this 8 page thread but didn't see this as a bug or anything.

UBB Version: 6.05
URL: http://www.groundspeedweb.com

Any thoughts? (I rebuilt all my member files through the control panel)

Thanks,
BD

yeah, its a bug but i dont think anyone has mentioned it. it checks if they are the mod of that forum, and since it is a calendar, not a forum, then they cant be the mod.

in "stars/status hack" u become all times the "moderator stars" also in topics there u are not moderator ...

can u take this way ?


(hope everytime u understand my bad english)

Looks like a great hack! I scanned thru all the replies but didn't see this addressed, so my apologies in advance if someone already asked this:

Can users "subscribe" to receive email notices when an event has been added/changed (preferences setting perhaps)? If not, I think it'd be a great feature (I know I could really use it anyway).

Jordo,
Is there a way around the Moderator/Admin bug? I implemented the Calendar already specifically to let my moderators post events.

NOT THAT I'M KNOCKING THE HACK! It's great! I was just really wanting to use that functionality...

BD

ya sorry forgot to mention ill do a fix as soon as i have time.

ericruhl - ill put a big maybe on that one. if i get inspired ill add it, but i may not be able to get around to it. sorry.

To this:

Basically, all I did was use the variable $thismonth instead of using the monthname array that doesn't seem to work.

However, I tried changing the $monthnames[$monthtem-1] in public_calendar_review.pl, to $thismonth, but it did not recognize it. Instead I used the $monthtem variable like this:


Better than not having a month name or number at all.

Jordo, I love the hack.

[ July 17, 2001 12:08 AM: Message edited by: Dino ]

I love it too

Small feature request... member names that are listed in the birthdays link to their profiles... can be in the events at the bottom and/or the calendar itself

Allen,
Is that what you mean?

Dino,
