Differences from 6.3 version: Calendar SSI now can be used as JavaScript, if you add "?j=yes" (or ";j=yes" in little calendar); little calendar SSI: ubb_calendar_ssi.cgi?s=yes instead of ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar_ssi.
Good luck!
yay!

Question about something in the readme for this one:

# NOTE: Do NOT upload upgrade.cgi if #
# you're not upgrading. #
Upgrading what? Upgrading the calendar hack, or UBB itself? That seems a bit unclear to me.
I mean if you're upgrading from an old version of Calendar hack which uses field #55
Ah, OK. I got it working after some initial trouble where I could not see any options in the control panel.
Turns out I uploaded the template to the JCTemplates directory - Duh!
Anyway, is there a way to delete entered calendar entries? If something gets in there by mistake, I can't see a way to edit/remove it.
Also, what about entering events with old dates? I wanted to use this on my board and put in the release date history for our old products, but there doesn't seem to be a way to enter events with a year before the current one. I could put them all in the current year, but that's not really what I wanted to do.
You can delete by clicking on the "Review today's events" link, right after the events list
About last year, just put it this year and choose to make it yearly or add "One Year Anniversary"
So there's no real way to add events in the past, eh? Any chance of that happening? I'd really like to enter old dates.
Edit: Thought of a way around it. I can create accounts with the names of our videogames, and assign them birthdays with the actual release dates. That'll work, but I still would like to create events with past dates.
Next year (in a few days) they'll have a hard time ACCESSING '2001, so no need to
MMMnnn, just been testing it on a test board, it seems to work fine with standard templates but not with my jctemplates (latest version). Am i missing something?
I use JC Templates, didn't have a problem getting it working. I had to adjust a bit in the public_common template, but otherwise it wasn't that difficult.
quote:
Next year (in a few days) they'll have a hard time ACCESSING '2001, so no need to
Well, I've been abler to go into 2006 anyway, as Dec 2005 seems to be the highest selectable date in the dropdown, but if you go that month and start using "Next month", you can go further.
Why the restriction anyway? Is there a technical reason why we can't enter dates in the past?

MMnnn, shall have a look again. Thnxs.
No Joe, it's just laziness
You can change it to have 2001 in public_new_calendar_event.pl, I think...

Found a better way. In editing a birthday event, I noticed it computes the number of years back by using this: <--1993-->
w00t! Forget my quoted idea. I can create them with any old year, and then insert that in there for "Duke Nukem 3D v1.0 was released <--1996--> years ago on this day". Works much nicer than the user account/birthday idea.
Hi There
Trying to install this in 6.40 using JC Templates
I see Joe has it sorted any chance you paste the code here please
Thanxs in advance
slev
At least this one:
Find in Public_topic_page.cgi:
$linkname
Replace with:
$linkname$birthdayfields[3]
Very useful hack LK...I've been using it for the past 2 upgrades. I noticed that if there is a repeating event (every week of every month) there is only the "weekly" option which means if I entered a weekly event in January it will no longer show up in February.
I'm not a coder but is it possible for you to add a weekly option that will rollover every month? Maybe even a monthly option?
You can add this event 12 times
Well not quite the answer I was looking for.
Thanks for replying though LK.
You can add the event once, say in the last week of January, open vars_calendar_events.cgi and add 28 days 11 times?
(maybe in the middle add 35 instead of 28)
Hahaa...I guess that's one way to do it. Not dynamic but effective.
LK, I installed this to my test 6.4 board w/the Multihack file, and I had no problems. Thank you for creating/porting such an "easy" hack for people like me!
Just a little adjustment to the calander code to make it more look a like to the other features:
Change this in ubb_forum_summery:
[/code]into this:
</pre></div></div>Enjoy.<br><br>And for those of u who are using JCTemplate, just modify this in public_forum_summary:<br><br>After this:<br><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Code</div><div class="ubbcode-body ubbcode-pre" ><pre>
[code]
Enjoy it or not, at i will.
It looks great! But when I click the Calendar link, it looks for a ultimatebb.pl file in the /cgi-bin. Where is it?
Disregard! I changed the .pl too .cgi and everything works GREAT!
Thank You!
LK, I do have one suggestion for the Calendar; let's say you click on January 17 ... it'd be great if there would be an "anchor" that would take the user to the actual event at the bottom of the calendar.
Would this be easy or difficult to do?
Sue, it's pretty easy: in ubb_lib_calendar.cgi:
Find:
[/code]replace with:</pre></div></div>Open public_calendar_display.pl. Find:<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Code</div><div class="ubbcode-body ubbcode-pre" ><pre>
Not tested, but should work
Quick suggestion ... how about putting the 'calendar' where it shows today's events underneath the 'Recent Visitors' of the main page instead of all the way down at the bottom of all the forums?
And where would you make that change? Please?

if u are using ubb.classic 6.4, then yes.
Download from one of the early posting of me the modified hack which includes the md5 hash encryption needed for ubb6.4++
twslex, what does the MD5 thing have to do with it?
Also I couldn't find it in any of your posts in this topic....
I would really appreciate that. Could you please post a link for the modified hack? I am using ubb.classic 6.4.

At least to have it working for me on ubb 6.4.0.1 with an selective amount of hacks installed.
Thanks so much, it works now.
hmm, as far as I know ubb_lib_calendar is being called only from ultimatebb, which has already declared $username, $password and $user_number

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.
Señor LK, anyway the Control panel could be wordletised in the next release?
thanks
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.
I also added in your untested modification to have you go to the bottom of the page whenever you click on a date. Sweet!
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
me out with this? Thanks in advance.
Sue...
in ubb_lib_calendar:
replace
[/code]with
</pre></div></div>and replace:<br><br><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Code</div><div class="ubbcode-body ubbcode-pre" ><pre>
[code]
After that your MegaMods should be able to post events
. I know it can be made cleaner, but I do what I can off no sleep
...
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?
http://www.promodtecnologies.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi
my provider drives me crazy
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
... 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
...
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 “Continue” 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 “Continue”?
- And what’s up with the title “Upgrading - Calendar Hack 1.0 - 1.8 - 1.9”? Should 1.9
be 2.0 now? 1.9+?
Another pet peeve is how you have “calendar.txt” 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 they’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. Shouldn’t
“Add a new event” and “Review today's events“ 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 “Add New Event” header bar text should be moved to the left to match standard
UBB.classic. The “Review Today’s Events” header bat text should read “Review Events for …”
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 user’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 “Check To Display Birthday” flag. Deleted members would be expunged and
any glitches would be corrected.
Other than that, the program works great.

I'll probably make 2.1 soon, with all your suggestions...
hmmm well i installed the hack correctly on 6.5.0 but when i click on calendar it says:
FYI
You are attempting to reach a page that does not exist.
» Please use your browser's back button to return.
Re-modify ultimatebb.cgi
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!
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.
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.
Thanks LK. I'll keep checking back. Your work is much appreciated.
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:
[code][/code]Any ideas why? I figured it was the calendar hack, but I could be wrong...
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...

Thanks.I was just visiting your board and love how you got it setup with the image and everything. How did you do that?
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..

![[Linked Image]](http://www.alforadmin.com/_personal/adwoff.gif)
I don't want mine to be that strip at the bottom, I want it to look like my newsfader at the top
ok, I got it, I was able to make the cells for it, and then I went into the ubb_forum_summary.cgi and changed the output of the calendar
Is there any word on when Version 2.1 will be available?
Thanks,
Ed :rolleyes:
Yes... 'when it's done' - wait, that's 3 words... ok... 'soon'
lol
it's done when 6.6 beta is out...
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...
I can't get it to work
I think I must have uploaded something to the wrong folder. Can you tell me which folder I'm supposed to update these to?
birthday.gif
calendar.txt
cp_vars_calendar.pl
public_calendar_display.pl
public_calendar_review.pl
public_new_calendar_event.pl
ubb_calendar_ssi.cgi
ubb_lib_calendar.cgi
upgrade.cgi
vars_calendar.cgi
vars_calendar_events.cgi
vars_wordlets_calendar.cgi
.pl files to noncgi/Templates folder, .cgi to cgi-bin folder, .gif to noncgi folder. calendar.txt you don't upload, you open it and do the steps it tells you to...

§ add maintenance birthdays from CP
So does this maintenance from CP mean we will have the functionality I suggested above? Will there be any other functionality?
yes, that's what I mean.. though I will probably make it differently, which I have 2 main ideas:
1.
%vars_calendar_events = (
calendar events
);
%vars_calendar_birthdays = (
calendar birthdays
);
then calendar_birthdays is the one to be maintenanced...
or instead
2. I'll choose that when somebody edits profile or registers, it will automatically add it to a file in members dir, such as "birthdays.cgi"... and when you run ubb_lib_calendar, it will check this file... that'd probably make it simpler to be up-to-date.
Well, I think there still needs to be something that completely cleans and rebuilds the birthdays (not the events).
This would cover all bases so we wouldn't have birthdays showing for deleted or banned members - that is unless you are going to add a "Remove Birthday" routine when banning or deleting.
If you can't make sure that there won't be an orphaned birthday out there with no way of knowing, then you need something that can clean and rebuild based on the "Allow others to see my birth date?" check in their profile.
The lack of tools for the calendar has been especially frustrating. You need to start offering some useful ones.
There will be something that completely cleans and rebuilds the birthdays. in my post above I said how it's gonna recognize what's birthdays and what's regular events (because you said in your post "All you would need would be a single character flag added to the calendar event that tells whether the event came from a user’s profile or was custom added"...
any ETA on when this newest version of calendar will be released ?

Hope this helps... Good rule of thumb is the .cgi files always go in cgi-bin and the .pl always go in the Templates. Most of the mistakes I make are with the permissions.

Sorry LK, I see now you already answered it
LK, will there be a ton of new features? cause I just moved the hack to css, and I love it, but I don't wanna lose all my work to upgrade. will the main thing be the rebuild feature?
PS. you should check out the calendar on my boards, I added some cool css tricks to make the current day emboss
not tons of new features. just the ones I mentioned in the previous page, in todo list.
btw, I love what you did in the calendar (the effect of the current day)... you think I should add something like that to the next version? (so instead of "Today Background Color" it would be "Today CSS Text", with a textarea)
personally, I think everything on the net should be css, it's so easy to use and allows for a lot more flexibility. maybe you should give people a choice, cause a lot more people know hexcodes than know css. ie instead of multihack and text, css and the bad one
catcherman, would it be alright if I allow smilies and not images? (I guess you'll have to add a smiley for full moon and a smiley for new moon when you update the calendar, it's not that difficult)
EDIT: I got the ubbcode buttons to work, but the smilies wouldn't show, so I used the popup feature it had.
Thanks for your help
Done for 2.1:
- put version number at top of lib_calendar..
- put add new event at the line of "Events for".
- ability to add smilies to title
- totally redesigned Review page (now it looks like New Event page)
- now there is only one template - public_calendar.pl, and calendar uses only one ?ubb= shortcut (calendar).
www.lkworld.com/?ubb=calendar
LK, that sounds great. Thanks for your hard work.
sounding good LK
Hey LK, I'm trying to set it up so that I can access the calendar through SSI (well PHP includes but give or take it's the same thing) but when I try to go to
http://tavern.undergroundnews.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar_ssi&css=yes I recieve "You're trying to access a page that does not exist"... Any idea's? BTW, I used the mhk
...
ahhh, the instructions i saw stated that it was ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar_ssi.cgi?css=yes :X... Sorry...
yeah, you're right, I forgot to update ubb_calendar_ssi.cgi...
it should be:
quote:
## This file can be called with for today's event
## and for monthly events (or if you'll use CSS).
:x, i've just been an error finding midget lately haven't i.
Yesterday I've finished creating Calendar v2.1, and I'm gonna publish it the moment 6.6.0 br1 is out, unless there's gonna be an unexpected problem... you'll rebuild the birthdays in the same place where you rebuild the member stat files, instead of adding a whole new subroutine for that.
also vars_calendar_events.cgi is redesigned, but no fear, I made upgrade.cgi which updates your calendar_events file to v2.1... it removes all the birthdays, because it's a very simple procedure to rebuild member stat files from CP.
new vars_calendar_events.cgi example:
[code][/code]oh, and all the fake smilies you see in @events, they were real smilies but I edited them in this post because I didn't want my post to enlarge this page (you know, long stuff in [code] tag make the topic page look really ugly).
Woohoo! Keep up the good work!
question: should I add "Birthdays Today" to forum summary, like in vBullrtin? it's possible in 2.1
well what would be the big difference between that and the normal summary we get from the calendar on the main page?
that it'd be like "Today's Birthdays: LK (21), Weird Al (59), Lincoln (195)" (links to profiles when you click on the name), instead of "Today's Events: LK's Birthday, Weird Al's Birthday, Lincoln's Birthday, I got a new computer, UBB 6.6 release"
btw yeah, I know, you haven't really been born in '55

Sorry, I meant 49
I am new to UBB and I tried to install this calendar hack... why it never show any of my members' birthday? can LK help?
One thing you should do is update your profile and see if your birthday shows. You need to update your profile to add it to the calendar. If it isn't that, LK probably knows the problem
I updated my profile. I mean add-in a date of birth right?
BTW how do you add the profile to the calendar?
My calendar works well in term of posting events and viewing events... but it just doesn't show any birthday..
I am using UBB classic 6.5
I reccomend you verify all the steps in public_edit_profile.pl and ubb_profile.cgi. those are the files that control that
ok. im making the commitment and adding this mod!
will it be an easy apply to 6.5?
i know LK has said that some steps might be different ... anyone know for sure?

I've got it up and running on my 6.5 without changing a letter in the install txt
woo! installed and workin smooth -- nice job!
a question: new registered members show up a-ok, but lotsa posters on my board have already registered with their birthdays ... other than manually entering the events, is there anyway to add their b-days to the calendar?
the only way to do it is to have them to update their profile. that might be different in the next version, but that'll be 6.6 only from what I've heard
LK, now hat 6.6 is out, and word on when 2.1 will be out?
maybe you've heard differently but it's very difficult to post a hack when you're abroad..
anyhow...
www.ubbdev.com/lk/calendar66.zip - alpha version... test please

(sorry, but I'm tired and this seems funny)
$total_members = (@members + 1); #the total number of registered users
isn't in ubb_registration.cgi.
my $total_members = scalar(@members) + 1; #the total number of registered users
is
I'll get back to you on the rest of the hack once I can get into my cp
ok, LK, I redid the hack again, and I get a 500 error when I try to go into my cp.
I made sure it was in ASCII then reuploaded again, re-CHMODed to 755 (or 777 depending on file) and I still get the error. All public parts are working, but I can't even get into the cp.
wow, I fixed it
In cp.cgi
find:
%vars_faq %vars_registration %vars_time %vars_pntf %vars_style_reference %vars_pm
replace with:
%vars_faq %vars_registration %vars_time %vars_pntf %vars_style_reference %vars_pm %vars_wordlets_calendar
also in cp.cgi
find:
display misc mods email time faq search pm
replace with:
display misc mods email time faq search pm wordlets_calendar
Also, in cp2_lib.cgi, in the install you have:
###########################################################
## Do the following 2 steps only if you CAN NOT find it: ##
###########################################################
Find:
=====
[$vars_wordlets_cp2{admin_maint}, qw(rebuilds clearcache fiveximport)],
Add below:
==========
[$vars_wordlets_cp2{admin_modification},("calendar")],
it should be
###########################################################
## Do the following 2 steps only if you CAN NOT find it: ##
###########################################################
Find:
=====
[$vars_wordlets_cp2{admin_maint}, qw(rebuilds clearcache fiveximport)],
Add below:
==========
[$vars_wordlets_cp2{admin_modification}, qq(calendar)],
Also, in the cp, it says :
quote:
Forum(s) to allow calendar event posting on:
You may select a forum in which posters will be given the choice to add a calendar event when they post a new topic. (not a required field, separate with spaces).
so I figured that I didn't have to put anything in it. It ends up you must put a space in or it'll throw you an error.
That's all I found.
EDIT: One thing I couldn't figure out. What would I have to modify to get the Month name under the compact headers
here .
ubb_registration: correct
cp.cgi: don't do it... then in cp2_lib.cgi:
find: (twice)
$vars_wordlets_calendar{calendar}
replace with
$vars_wordlets_cp2{calendar}
small misspelling..
cp2_lib.cgi: you're wrong actually... qw(calendar) is the same as ("calendar")... the reason I used "calendar" is to make the part with "If you can find it" easier on noobs... so instead of saying "add 'calendar ' but don't forget the leading space", I'm telling them to add "calendar",...
"forums to select posting on" - that's quite interesting... my site is down so I can't check it out... can you give me the _exact_ error when you don't put anything in this textbox?
the only reason I said that was cause my error log for my server gave me this.
[Sat Aug 16 01:56:43 2003] cp.cgi: Bareword "calendar" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /home/httpd/vhosts/alforadmin.com/cgi-bin/cp2_lib.cgi line 1011.
EDIT: oh and the error was:
Error
Form validation errors:
Forum(s) to allow calendar event posting on: You did not enter a value for this field
Error: that's very odd, doesn't happen here...
The other thing is fixed... open cp2_vars.cgi.
find:
default => q!!,
add below:
req => 0,
ok, got it. Thank you
Any word on if the final 2.1 will have the Al(19) in the forum summary?
I don't know if this is a bug with Calendar, or a bug with 6.6 so I'll just post it here.
Everytime I update my Calendar settings, all my custom graemlins are reset. I don't know what it could be, or how the calendar could be affecting it, but I narrowed it down to clicking the update button in the calendar settings.
Edit: I'm not sure if I'm not looking hard enough or something, but I can't find where to enable posting to the calendar for specific members
graemlins - fixed (in the calendar part of cp2_vars.cgi remove " $problems .= &SetVarsGraemlins;")... Al(19) and letting certain users update - not done yet (I forgot :/)
hmm...
i just realized, i don't get the lil birthday avatar to show up by the user's posts on their day o'happiness.
does something in my template file conflict mayhaps?
public_topic_page.pl
right after $linkname should be something like $birthday[3] or something. Make sure that it's there.
LK, you might want to start a new Calendar thread for 2.1, cause this is getting long
yessir, i currently have the following:
$linkname$birthdayfields[3]
izzat right?
could it be blocked from another section, or something? my boards have been... "robized," for lack of a better term, so its possible i have something screwy going on sonewhere else
umm...

the cake IS working
whoa... very strange...
my girlfriend's bday was yesterday (the 17th) and didn't get one up there.
oddities abound!
oh well, as long as its working now (??)
thanks anyway, weird one!
oooohhhh.... ok... i think i get it now
the cake appears on your birthday if you post on your birthday, correct?
i thought it appeared by all of your posts on the day of your birthday (regardless of whether or not you post that day), then disappeared the next day.
it does based on cache. If you see one of his posts, and reply to that topic, his cake will show there
Poll: calendar 2.1 should have at the bottom of forum summary:
1. birthdays for today
2. events and birthdays for today, like now (just how old is the birthday kid)
3. events for today in one line, birthdays for today in the next (if there is no event, it doesn't show that line; if there is no birthday, it doesn't show the birthday line)
in all cases if there isn't anything, it'd just hide the calendar line instead of saying "no events scheduled for today"
my vote is for 2, but how hard would it be to get the line to stay with "no events..." instead of disappearning?
you like that line? I thought everybody hated it
It spoke the truth. There were no events. If it doesn't show up at all, people don't know that I actually do work
hmmm... another issue...
the birthday avatar image seems to conflict with the "my style" hack. its only visible to users that use the "standard" profile, and/or those who are logged out.
I think 3, it's kinda lame to have "no events schedualed" but the whole concept of 2 is still good... how about it have 2, then when there is nothing work as 3 lol....
what I thought of in the beginning is not to show "No events scheduled for today"...
I like 2 or 3
After you have the calander up and running is there a way to protect it so that only the members of the board or people you select only have access to it?
And I would Like to thank you for the Hack. I followed your instructions and got it running the first time.
Thanks!

untested: add this before the first line of ubb_lib_calendar.cgi:
THank you !!!
You are the Best!
You are making this fun.

Thank you Again.

Okay... 1 voted for 2, 1 voted for 3 and 1 voted for both... since I like 3 better, I'll add 3
http://www.lkworld.com/ - scroll down to the calendar part, what do you think?
looks good to me
hey LK, are those 2 lines stored separately, like if I want to show one part on the top of the page and one part at the bottom, would that be possible?
the changes are in ubb_forum_summary:
push(@file, qq~||$birthdaysplit[0]yb||<a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile;u=$birthdaysplit[2]" target="_blank">$birthdaysplit[1]</a> ($birthdaysplitsplit[2])||||1~);and
if ($desc[1] =~ m/b/) {
$desc[1] =~ s/b//;
$birthday = 1;
}and
if ($birthday == 0) {
$calendar .= ", " if $calendar;
$calendar .= $desc[2];
} elsif ($birthday == 1) {
$birthdays .= ", " if $birthdays;
$birthdays .= $desc[2];
}and
$calendar = qq~<b><a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar">Events</a>:</b> $calendar~ if ($calendar);
$linebreak = "
" if ($calendar && $birthdays);
$birthdays = qq~<b><a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar">Birthdays</a>:</b> $birthdays~ if ($birthdays);
$calendar = $calendar || $birthdays ? qq~
$TBT
<tr>
<td bgcolor="$vars_style{AltColumnColor1}" valign="top" align="left">
<font size="1" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">$calendar$linebreak$birthdays
</font>
</td>
</tr>
$TBB
~ : '';
ok, I know the changes, but does it matter where they go, and what do I take out?
hey LK, could you post an updated install zip?
any updated install for 2.1 ? (6.6 ver) ?
Thanks.
Med
My people eagerly await the re-appearance of your calendar and I'm waiting for 2.1 before I install it again.
Go LK! It's your birthday!
this is 2.1, what's wrong with that version? (except that I forgot to allow selected users to update calendar)
you were gonna update with the fixes, and the updates for the Al(19) thing
