I'd like to add the back history of my company's releases into the calendar with proper years, but the code doesn't allow me to go backwards with event entries.

Joe this is easy.

In doaddevent.php find this:

Code

<br />// -------------------------------<br />// Make sure it's not an old event<br />if (    ($year < $thisyear)<br />|| ($year == $thisyear && $month < $thismonth)<br />|| ($year == $thisyear && $month == $thismonth && $day < $thisday)<br />) {<br />	$html -> not_right("{$ubbt_lang['OLDEVENT']}",$Cat);<br />}<br />

Comment out the not_right line like this:

Code

<br />// -------------------------------<br />// Make sure it's not an old event<br />if (    ($year < $thisyear)<br />|| ($year == $thisyear && $month < $thismonth)<br />|| ($year == $thisyear && $month == $thismonth && $day < $thisday)<br />) {<br />//	$html -> not_right("{$ubbt_lang['OLDEVENT']}",$Cat);<br />}<br />

When I tried to add an event, I wasn't using doaddevent, I was just using addevent, which only gives me 2004-2014. That's where I need to go into the past. Edit: I looked at it myself, and figured it out. I edited addevent.php. Found this: Code <br />$selectyear = "<select name=\"year\" class=\"formboxes\">"; <br />for ($i=$thisyear;$i<=($thisyear+10);$i++) { <br /> $selected = ""; <br /> if ($i== $thisyear) { <br /> $selected = "selected=\"selected\""; <br /> } <br /> $selectyear .= "<option $selected>$i</option>"; <br />} <br /> Changed this line: for ($i=$thisyear;$i<=($thisyear+10);$i++) { To this: for ($i=($thisyear-20);$i<=($thisyear+10);$i++) { I picked minus 20 as that should about cover how far back I want to go. I had to make the same code update in editevent.php as well to allow for the selection of a year into the past. Last edited by Joe Siegler; 09/03/2004 2:10 PM.
