UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.1x] Calendar Hack 1.9

Terminator, btw, "Powered by DDC Scripts, Version 6.1.0.3"?! :rolleyes:

Help,
Added this hack today and everything works great apart from the events aren't being displayed on the main page even though I have selected it in the control panel.
Please help.

Update : Also just realised that birthdays are not being displayed and evertime I go back to my profile it has reset the birday feild back to the default.

Lk,

I asked this a while back and you provided a possible fix that never worked. My unix server has perl 5. With your calendar hack when you select dates for birthdates it has one digit for the months and days before the teens. If these do not have a 0 before then it does not display it right. Here is what is written to a member file upon registration

197568|yes

it should be

19750608|yes

Nokia666: try to rehack ubb_forum_summary.cgi/public_forum_summary.pl and ubb_profile.cgi/public_edit_profile.pl...

omegatron: do you have ICQ/AIM/MSNIM/whatever?

LK, today is one of the moderator´s birthday and the cake gif appears beside the name of all the moderators inside one of the private forums.

Hi,
Thanks very much...it works perfect now. Only problem is that I don't like it being at the bottom of the page.
If there anyway I can move it to the top just above who's online and below where is says your user name? Then it would fit in really nicely with my PM notification hack.
I'm running who's online version 4.1 PB2
Board is Version 6.1.3

Thanks again

Instructions say:
#####################in public_forum_summary.pl:

######find: (twice)

$TBB





######replace it with:

$TBB
$calendar





################################################

I don't find this. $TBB appears four times but none of them have

after them. I have the new beta XHTML templates, where does $calendar go? After all four instances?

This code below appears three times, I put it after all three, let hope it works ok.

$TBB

Just put it after the ones in sub page_bottom (or something very similar to that).

thanks again! Hack works and looks great. I had no problems installing this.

Another problem with the Time Zone.

I made the previous changes to ubb_forum_summary.cgi, and now the correct day's events display on the main page.

However, the birthday cakes in the threads are displaying for people who have their birthday tomorrow. Should a fix similar to the Forum Summary be made to ubb_lib_posting.cgi?

Try again, I thought sub today also includes the timezone offset.

I tried reaching you via AIM and it says your active but you never respond. HMM You seem to overlook my problem here too?

I'm back now

OK, omegatron found a bug... ZIP file updated with updated instructions for ubb_registration.cgi, the $thismemarray part...

Hey LK, tried to use the calendar ssi and had a problem, no output or something

https://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ubb_calendar_ssi.cgi

any idea what might be wrong?

Allen, so try: https://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ubb_calendar_ssi.cgi?unix=yeah

In my board, if I use it, it adds 'content-type: text/htmlnn' to the SSI page...

ok... it doesn't do the little calendar anymore?

Little calendar = https://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar_ssi

Sorry, but the birthday cake display is off by my timezone difference.

The cakes showed up yesterday afternoon when the birthday was today, and after clearing my cache just now, they're gone - in the middle of the birthday date.

On a side note, what if a thread hasn't been posted to for a while? Do the last birthday cakes stay there until either a reply is posted or someone else in that thread has a birthday and the page is viewed? Why didn't the fact that the calendar thought the birthday was over trigger a cache overwrite for that page?

White Gold Wielder: works fine in my board, I set the birthday for 20011129 and the timezone to +24 and it showed up but when I changed the timezone to 0 it didn't show up...

Allen:

I don't really like that it uses the color set in the calendar... What's better in your opinion: use the colors from calendar, use only the notinmonth color from calendar and the link color will be the default one (of the page), or make it use styles, like

OK, here's what happened:

This is what you said when you initially fixed the Time Zone issue.

I must have missed it a page or two later when you said to rehack ubb_lib_postings.cgi. Changed it and it seems to work fine, although I had to clear my cache to see the results.

What about the other issue? If I go to the same old thread tommorow and no one has posted to it, will the cakes still be there? Do the cakes count on a cache change in order to be added or removed, or do they initiate a cache change themselves?

(I suppose I could wait until tomorrow to find out...)

[ 11-28-2001 02:03 PM: Message edited by: White Gold Wielder ]

No, it won't be modified until cache is cleared/someone will edit his post/reply/remove his post/close topic/open topic/move... I just don't think it will be so common, so IMO there is no need to mess with the cache for that...

Edit: ZIP file updated for only a cosmetic update, now you CAN (don't have to though) use ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar_ssi&css=on, and then instead of using the calendar's colors it will use class nomonth and link.

Use:
If you want to use it. If you won't add &css=yes, it will use the old style.

[Edit 2: Allen, btw, the edit message is stayed after I click on Reply, it's probably the XHTML modification to that hack.

[ 11-28-2001 02:19 PM: Message edited by: LK ]

ZIP file updated once again, and once again it's an improvement (in my opinion) and not a bug fix Also vars_wordlets_calendar.cgi has better Wordlets™ IMO, but you should decide for your own.

LK did you do two versions of the Calendar hack for 6.1? Just trying to find out what version I have.. and to see if I need to upgrade.

Hmm.. I made 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9, if that's what you mean... If you mean two versions that do something else, then no.

What file from the calender hack can I look at to tell what version I have? I think I have 1.7

http://banco.jogosonline.com.br/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar

can you guys please put an option for 1 birthdays field on the thing?

lk :**

CopyCat: what do you mean?

Splitfyre: if you don't know what to choose in upgrade.cgi BUT you're sure you didn't have 1.9, choose the 1.0 - 1.7 one, I don't think it can harm... If you just want to know for no reason, in /vars_calendar_events.cgi, if the beginning of every line is something like '00000001', it's 1.6/1.7. If not, if in the Member files line 33 ([32]) is always empty, and line 56 ([55]) sometimes has something, it's 1.8. If not, it's 1.9.

CC meant he has 8-10 birthdays in each date, he is wondering if you can add something so that when it gets over 2 or so it will say "birthdays (8)" or whatever

yes Allen thank you

something like this one maybe

ew, a vB...how horrific

-Tacks

I finished + uploaded it a while ago, just forgot to post

Rehack cp_lib.cgi, upload cp_vars_calendar.pl, ubb_lib_calendar.cgi and 'birthdays' Wordlet™.

[edit: forgot the Wordlet]

[ 11-30-2001 11:21 AM: Message edited by: LK ]

We (LK and Jordo) have already done better

Still looking for the "send email on birthday" addition

thanks guys

---

this would be cool picking members to be notified.. would need cron though, i think

private calendars for user groups would be nice

if i was using this version already i could help u guys.. ;/

opening a pop-up window with the birthdays when u click on it could be nice too; i believe you are opening the day page, am i correct; it is nice too, maybe moving the events to the top could help the visibility of things; just some loose suggestions

Allen, I think I know how to do it:
||123456789y-2000||I's Birthday||I was born on this day <--1900--> years ago||2000

Then (I'm making it up now, that's why it's not so 'intelligent', and I didn't test it)
foreach(@file) {
@desc = split(/||/, $_);
if ($desc[1] =~ m/(y-)(d+)/) {
if ($2 ne $GotTime{JSYear}) {
&ubb_mail(blablabla);
$desc[1] =~ s/y-$2/y-$GotTime{JSYear}/;
$_ = join("||", @desc);
}
}

&WriteFileAsArray("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_calendar_events.cgi");

It can be used in ubb_lib_posting.cgi, bb_forum_summary.cgi and ofcourse ubb_lib_calendar.cgi.

(Also I won't forget to remove these digits when it will remove 'y')

Now all I need is a greeting card HTML...

I'll see if Deb has done it already...
