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

LK,

No, I just changed the variable $monthnames[$monthtem-1] to $thismonth (only in one instance) on public_calendar_display.pl. My code actually looks like this-- a little different than Jordo's, since I wanted all the fonts to match:


However, for some reason (I wish I was better with Perl/CGI) public_calendar_review.pl did not recognize $thismonth, so I had to use $monthtem like this:


I'll try your suggestion when I get home. Looks like it might work.

LK,



I tried replacing $monthnames[$monthtem] with your suggestion "$vars_wordlets_calendar{$this_month}", and it did not work on the public_calendar_review.pl file. For some reason, it does not recognize $thismonth as a variable.

Oh well. It works ok the way I have the code posted on an earlier reply.

great mod

"(2 Events)17" events isnt wordletized

"$poster_name was born on this day <--$in{bdayyear}--> years ago." is not wordletized

"Delete?" on public_calendar_review.pl is not wordletized.

months in "add new event" are not wordletized.

there are layout problems in the templates, when theres no event on that day (opening

Dino, you're right, but it works on the new version if jordo will approve it.

CopyCat, all verified and fixed in the new version if jordo will approve it.

Jordo, please download my version again

thanks. one more, the months on registration are not wordletized also.


sug: multi-day/year events, for things like xmas... admin-only i think.

Jordo,

I attempted to use your SSI script on an IIS box and it did not work at all because it could not find the variables script location.

So I played around with it a bit and got it to work.

I also added a link for the Event text to the calender.

Here is the modified ubb_calendar_ssi.cgi code.

Jordo, get the file again (I fixed what CopyCat mentioned).

Understood Thanks for all your work on this and I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can add that feature (email a subscriber list when calendar is updated)

I Have found my error.

In the new_topic.pl on the box descriptions
where the Name for the Day name="day"
i have change it to "event_day" now it works.

Hey Jordo,

Great HACK!

jordo hello

As I already have written in the chatmod topic and in news fader topic, I have discovered something strange happening with the DHTML slide menubar I have.

As you can see from the below picture, the slide menubar is sliding out BEHIND those seachboxes in the calendar mod, just as it also do slide out BEHIND the chatmodapplet.

Do you have any idea how to fix this so the menubar load in FRONT as it is supposed to do?

If I remember right, it is that the Zorder is set incorrectly. I haven't played much with DHTML and whatnot, but I am pretty sure that is where the problem is.

Hey Jordo.. I got a WEIRD issue.

http://forums.thunderwave.net/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=add_calendar_event

Check that out. Since you aren't a moderator that can post stuff there, you should see a page that says you can't post new events. Well nothing wrong with that, right? Well there is.. Whenever a moderator who has access to post new events or an administrator tries to post a new event we just get a plain white page.

Any help?

strange i cant download it. It says the zip is corrupted

Here it's fine...

sorry trying to fix my reply quote bug, dont ban me

afterlab - make sure all the templates are uploaded to the correct directory. in particular, public_new_calendar_event.pl. if your getting a blank white page when trying to add a new event, some problem with the uploading of that file is most likely the culprit.

Thanks Jordo.. I just forgot to upload the file. It's working fine now.

I changed the layout of the UBB Calendar a bit too check it out: http://forums.thunderwave.net/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar

Great hack, Jordo, but I have a major problem. After I update my profile so I can change my birth date, I get a message saying that there is a hack attempt because one of the members file's is corrupted, and that there are extra fields? I noticed that mine was setup (probably from another hack) for fields 30 and 31, so something must be using them. Any ideas?

Thanks!

In ubb_profile.cgi, remove nn from the line.

From which line in ubb_profile? Do you mean

print FILE ("nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn")

?

Thanks!

Yes

LK, thanks that worked, but now when I update my profile for my birthday, it doesn't save the date, it just goes back to January 1st, 2001.

Hmm... What's 10 lines before and after the nnn thing?

I was able to get the calendar to work great, thanks for sharing it with us. I have a question. I would like the events to appear on the front page of the forum right under the newest member name. What would I need to add to public_forum_summary to do this?

In SSI you can use ubb_calendar_ssi.cgi to see a list. (I think) Remove the "exit(0);" line from there and whereever you want it in public_forum_summary.pl, add

Hi all,

I guess i'm to tired so i must have missed the bugfix inhere ...

I suffer from the following prob ..

My server is in the US and i have 7 hours time difference ... the calender seems to take the server time and not the local time as pointed out by the offset of the UBB ... is this my fault or is it a bug ??? I cleared the cache to make sure it was not a caching prob ...

BTW VERY COOL FEATURE !!!

You're right.

In ubb_lib_calendar.cgi:

I don't know if it works yet, but I can't see any reason why not

Thanks, LK, but the ssi doesn't work on my site. Is there any other way I can get this information on the front page?

Thanks LK ...

Life can be easy ... if you now where to look !

Ellen ... could it be that you have no "exec permessions" try

That could help you out ...

Greetz

Knuff

OK, then...

or however you want it to be

Thanks so much for all of your help!

Hello Troy
Thanks for the tip
I have searched to find out more about the "Z order" without finding anything.
Could you please tell some more about it so I understand what you mean. I am not a coder, so it isnt that easy to figure out.

I got an authorization from jordo to post Calendar Hack v1.4 revision 2.

URL: http://members.tripod.co.uk/lkubb/calendar.zip
You have to upload all new files except ubb_calendar_ssi.cgi (including vars_wordlets_calendar.cgi), and I can't remember which files I changed so rehack all of them

(edit: changed the URL)

[ July 23, 2001 07:15 AM: Message edited by: LK ]

LK that sounds good...but what about the files in the "calendar" dir, the datafiles containing all events already added.
Must these files be changed to?

hmm...is it possible to include this in the News Fader 2.0;

This is a superb hack - but with UBB 6.1 just around the corner and it's significant code changes; should we hack our 6.04 board or wait for 6.1? Will UBB Calendar have to be completely recoded (and rehacked) to work with 6.1?

We have a fairly busy board (about 600 members in 4 months) and have already installed several hacks incuding Topic Ratings, Statistics, Who's Online, Total Posts/Topics,... and the migration (of a hacked UBB) from 6.04 -> 6.1 appears to be a significant effort.

So... should we hang on for UBB Calendar to be ported to UBB 6.1?

kaukagaul,

1. nope, not files in /calendar directory
2. look above, and just instead of after $RegisteredMemberLine, put: right after

RTM, from what I understand, UBB 6.1 will be rebuilt totally differently.

[ July 23, 2001 02:26 AM: Message edited by: LK ]

I rehacked the Files and load the new ones up.

When I ad a event now it shows up one month later in the calendar

Whoops


Download it again and upload the new ubb_lib_calendar.cgi
