hmm, as far as I know ubb_lib_calendar is being called only from ultimatebb, which has already declared $username, $password and $user_number confused

Somehow it does stick always, that was what i had to find out.

Same goes for the upload mod, if the code to re-get the username isn't done, it will say, u are not allowed and so on.

I guess I could do that, but you should probably remind me when I'm doing an updated version...

LK, I installed the calendar hack into my test board (6.5.0 Beta 1) without any problems tonight. smile

I also added in your untested modification to have you go to the bottom of the page whenever you click on a date. Sweet! help would be greatly appreciated.


One thought for future upgrades for your calendar hack: is there any way we can have the option of having it at the top or the bottom via the control panel? Kind of like the Recent Visitors deal.

Thanks.

LK or anyone else who has combined the calendar mod with the megamod--what code needs to be changed so that megamods can have calendar privileges?

I installed the megamod hack into my 6.5.0 Beta 1 test board without any problems ... and so far, it seems as if the megamod may do everything--but post to the calendar.

Can anyone help help me out with this? Thanks in advance.

Sue...

in ubb_lib_calendar:
replace
Code
[/code]with
Code
</pre></div></div>and replace:<br><br><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Code</div><div class="ubbcode-body ubbcode-pre" ><pre>
with:
[code]
After that your MegaMods should be able to post events smile . I know it can be made cleaner, but I do what I can off no sleep smirk...

Ok, I'm having one issue with this mod on 6.5, for some reason I'm not seeing the calendar on the forum summary on my testboard (I followed instructions I swear it!), can anyone lend me a hand?

my provider drives me crazy mad to prevent exploits he disable the php include () from external urls. I use the calendar with SSI for my homepage.

All other includes (content island) now work again after changing the path to absolute server path but I cant bring the calendar back to work. If I try to use absolute path with the include call the script itself will displayd and not executed.

What my isp have done:

allow_url_fopen in PHP set to 'Off' in server config.

Any clue how to use cgi ssi in PhP pages with this ? I dont know if Java still works but I dont like it. Java is not displayd with Opera.

Ok, this is really starting to mess with my head now frown ... I have the calendar running on my test board:
http://www.promodtecnologies.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi

Only thing is it won't show on the page at all lol... I've tried doing the mod over 3 times to see if I did something wrong, but either I'm repeating the error or something is wrong...

I'm also, if I can get the calendar to work in the first place, wanting to have the calendar shown above "Please login" and "welcome our newest member".

Any help would be appreciated since I hate asking for it in the first place frown ...

A few suggestions.

How about some notes on Upgrade.cgi? It's about as sparse a piece of code as you can get.
Some questions you can answer are:

- How are we supposed to know what version we have? I installed my calendar over a year ago
and I have no idea what I have. Does it make a difference which I pick? What happens if I
pick the wrong one? Should I run once with both options to be sure?

- How long does the upgrade take to run? I hit ā€œContinueā€ after a minute or two and I got
an error about permissions on my member file. Does this mean I need to reset permissions and
run it again and leave it running this time? Does it mean I picked the wrong older version?
Under what conditions should I ever click ā€œContinueā€?

- And whatā€™s up with the title ā€œUpgrading - Calendar Hack 1.0 - 1.8 - 1.9ā€? Should 1.9
be 2.0 now? 1.9+?

Another pet peeve is how you have ā€œcalendar.txtā€ setup. Why do you put the edits in that order?
I have my UBB files saved off to my hard drive in the same directory structure as UBB has it.
So when I have to go back and forth between editing .cgi and .pl files I have to change
directories 9 times! I could see if you had them ordered for another purpose, but theyā€™re not
even in alpha order in case you have all the files to edit in one directory. Give us a
break and cut and paste a bit!

I wish you would upgrade the design a bit and make things look a bit better. Shouldnā€™t
ā€œAdd a new eventā€ and ā€œReview today's eventsā€œ be on the same line and moved to one side or
the other? A lot of graphical tweaks could be done to remove blank lines and tighten things
up. The ā€œAdd New Eventā€ header bar text should be moved to the left to match standard
UBB.classic. The ā€œReview Todayā€™s Eventsā€ header bat text should read ā€œReview Events for ā€¦ā€
and font size should match every other text bar like it. There are a lot of little things
like that that could use some work.

A wish list item would be an admin function to clean and refresh the birthdays that people
set in their profile. All you would need would be a single character flag added to the
calendar event that tells whether the event came from a userā€™s profile or was custom added.
Then, on a click in the CP, all those profile birthdays could be removed and members could
be searched for their ā€œCheck To Display Birthdayā€ flag. Deleted members would be expunged and
any glitches would be corrected.

Other than that, the program works great. wink

I recently upgraded to UBB.classic 6.5, but I removed the calendar which was causing me errors. Since then people have really missed it!

I could just re-hack it in with your latest version, but I think I'll wait for 2.1.

Anyway, this is some not-so-subtle encouragement to work on an upgrade to your calendar. It's a great program and could easily be an Infopop standard if you kept improving it! laugh

LK, is there a way to post an image (icon) on the headline part? My calendar shows full moons and new moons for the next few years and I would like to display an image on the calendar part (not the description, as this is already possible).

Thanks.

no, it's not possible yet...

todo list for v2.1:
  • put version number at top of lib_calendar..
  • put add new event and review at the same line, one at the left side and one at the right side.
  • add maintenance birthdays from CP
  • redesign calendar.txt
  • ability to add images to title
  • built-in megamod support?

May I request repeated entries such as Monthly or Weekly? Basically an option that will allow the user to post events that will carry over to upcoming months without having to add the events every month. smile

I think this is one of the better functional mods out for UBB and believe it will make it more user-friendly. Props to a great job so far. thumbsup

I have birthdays showing up on my calendar just fine, but they won't appear in my member profiles:

See Sample

It's also creating an error on the page. When I researched it, it was this line:

Question: at the bottom of my calendar where it normally says "no events scheduled for today" or lists the event. my scheduled events do not actually update or refresh from day to day until someone makes a post.
EX. Say tomorrow an event should display such as a birthday. Well that event will not show up that day until someone posts something on the board.
anyone have any ideas as to why this would happen???

catcherman - both these things have nothing to do with calendar, UBB 6.2 and newer have birthdays in profile even without using the calendar and the calendar hack doesn't touch this code...

reakhavok - it's on purpose, to make it easier on your server cause probably if nobody posts nobody also checks today's events...

If you're talking about Recent Visitors, first in CP choose that it will dock, then in quicksummary make it to be with an image... take the code from my chat mod (public_forum_summary) and use its pattern on quicksummary sub..

the control panel steps will probably be different so you'll have to edit vars_calendar manually (or edit the whole cp_vars_calendar.pl), but the other pars would probably be the same...
