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

Ugh, this thread looks like hell.

Anyway, LK. I dunno if it this is a bug or not, but if you look at the calendar here for this month, on Jan 1'st 2002 it lists 108 birthdays. While I assume this is because people used a default date for their bDays, all of the other days say like "2 birthdays", shouldn't this date also say something like "108 Birthdays"?

It has been already fixed.

ZIP/MHK files updated with a new feature, not a bugfix this time

Now you can choose a style's color instead of only hex color/name.

For example, in selected days you can type 'AltColumnColor1' and in colors without events, use 'BGColor'.

Might be useful if you use MyStyle™.

Upload the new ubb_lib_calendar.cgi, cp_vars_calendar.pl and ubb_calendar_ssi.cgi.

updated here, thanks

LK,

I had to remove the modifications you suggested because I ran into a couple problems.

First, I had people having trouble registering; so I closed the board & rebuilt the members' stat files

(this is the message they had received: Can not overwrite an existing profile number. Please notify the administration that their last_number.cgi file may be corrupt. Permissions on the Members directory must be reset, and the Member Stat files must be rebuilt afterwards. (00000517) )

After I rebuilt the members' stat files, I opened the board and tried to register.

With my first attempt, I received this error message:

[code][/code]

I then tried something--making sure that the code mimicked what you had suggested--and tried to register again--I received this message

An error has occured:
/home/adwoff/cgi-bin/ubb_registration.cgi: Missing right bracket at /home/adwoff/cgi-bin/ubb_registration.cgi line 759, at end of linesyntax error at /home/adwoff/cgi-bin/ubb_registration.cgi line 759, at EOFPlease inform the board administration of this error so that they may fix the problem. Thank you!

Any suggestions so that I can try to give people the N/A option instead of choosing a year?

Thanks!

You've added "Do_add_event_general" instead of "do_add_event_general" or whatever.

Oh my God!!!!! Something isn't XHTMLed.

Please rehack ubb_profile.cgi/ubb_registration.cgi's calendar addition part if you wish.

This Hack is Great!!

One Question though, on my site the calenar section toward the bottom of the main page doesn't seem to change to the current date? Example:
if the 20th of the month had 3 events and on the 20th i cleared the site's cashe then it will display the 3 events, but on the 21st it still shows the 20th's events. The only way i have been able to make this work right is by clearing the cashe daily!??

I am hoping that i have missed something with the install of this hack. Everything else about the calendar works perfect, except for this small issue on the opening page.

Anyone have any ideas what i might need to check out?

Thanks

I just don't want to clear cache, that's all. It's pretty easy though, check the last modified date of the summary.html file (add timezoneoffset), and if it's not the same as the current date (with offset), ClearSummaryCache.

With out sounding too stupid where is the summery.html file located?

Thanks for your help

NonCGIPath/cache-cachepw/ubb_files/summary or something like that

I should have figured that one out, lol. The file was dated for the 20th and not for the 21th. I might just run a nightly job and delete the summery*.* from that folder everyday at 1:05 am. Thanks Again for the help

This is a great hack..the MHP worked for me perfectly...

Yikes!

When we hit 2002 (Happy New Year everyone!), a whole bunch of people had the little birthday icon show up next to their names!

Which file do I need to go into to fix this? I'm assuming it has something to do w/a default.

Thanks!

do i need a custom version of this hack for it to work with ubb accelerator? i installed it using the mhp and it seemed to go fine, yet when i load the main page on the board i can see the added things for the calendar but no text... ex. i see the new link for calendar up near my profile and etc but i dont see the text, it just looks like active topics | blank

any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

ADWOFF: vars_calendar_events.cgi.

auxiliary: rehack ultimatebb.cgi (the wordlets_calendar part) and make sre you've uploaded vars_wordlets_calendar.cgi to the Variables dir.

How can I change the link color in the "ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar_ssi" ssi include !?!?

I noticed once we hit the new year several members have had the birthday icon next to their name although it is not that persons birthday. Is there an easy fix for this? maybe a y2k2 bug?

{in}Signifacant, use ?ubb=calendar_ssi;css=yes , then add CSS of: notmonth link

bizkit73: it's not a bug, the old Calendar has automatically choesn January 1st, 2001 + add to calendar/profile. I've removed all these stuff from the calendar (1/1/2001), but it's still in their profile, so it shows it.

Can someone point me to where I can change the font size of EVENTS in the calendar?

ubb_lib_calendar.cgi
[code][/code]

And there it is! I looked EVERYWHERE for it.

Thanks LK...and its an AWESOME hack!

Gah! Question... I have the name effects hack in... It changes $showpubliname to $effectsname... how do I make that compatible wih the birthday cake part of the hack?

$effectsname$birthdayfields[3] or something like that.

My calendar isnt showing up in the main boards down on the bottom.

I have seen other boards with todays current events listed with a link to the calander.

Mine just has the text up top. How do I fix this?

Thanks

Are you sure you've enabled it in the CP? If so, rehack ubb_forum_summary.cgi + public_forum_summary.pl.

I was lazy and used the multi hack

Should I go back and do those two manualy?

Fixed it thanks

im not positive that the calendar hack did this but im unsure so i wanted to ask here...

ever since i installed the calendar hack ive lost the cookies that tell the bb the last time a user has visited... such as i visit my board and read all current posts, close the browser and come back and it says ALL posts are new again. im using php accelerator with this board and have calendar, sig hack, sticky threads, and last reply by all installed. any ideas why this would not keep unread post updates now?

The UBB sometimes doesn't save the cookies. Also, make sure you visit the CGI file when you enter your site (not ultimatebb.php). If it never works, load a backup ultimatebb.cgi and rehack, maybe the cookie parts have been deleted.

im NOT supposed to load ultimatebb.php now? i thought thats what i load when i have the accelerator on?

You should never (even if you don't have calendar hack) link to ultimatebb.php for forum summary, it doesn't save cookies. Link to ultimatebb.cgi, and let the forum itself decide when to use ultimatebb.php.

i want to download this hack, but the url not seems to work

ok thanks alot LK, i didnt know that and it should help alot with problems im having

lk,

i just noticed that the calendar hack on my board is showing me as turning 102 today, where would i check the age calc for my board?

There must be a little bug in the ssi script. Yearly entrys dosn't display by the script. It show's 'none'

If I change

the event will display by the ssi script (removed the 'y'). Do you have the time to look in to this ? Please

aux: Make sure you chose the correct year...

Zarzal: shows birthdays in UBBDev

Found and fixed, upload the new ubb_calendar_ssi.cgi and vars_wordlets_calendar.cgi (atleast the "none" line)
