which is..
Step 3
Download the latest product XML file.
Goto your Admin CP at your forums, then goto Plugin System -> Manage Products.
Click [Add/Import Product] at the bottom of the page. Browse to the location where you downloaded the xml file and click the OVERWRITE check box. Then click the Import button.

Thread Prefixes would be great to be integrated too. And most of all (and the most easy i believe) would be adding an attachment tool for events. Like normal threads have =D
great hacK!
testing it, but i cant put it to work in my forums because it lacks of attendance and attachments.

Ty for the new version.. only error that remains is:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in \showthread.php on line 2216
which is in this part of the code:
// get permissions
$lv_vb_eventforums_permissions = array();
$membergroupsql = '';
if(isset($membergroupids) && (count($membergroupids) > 0))
{
foreach($membergroupids as $key => $value)
{
if($value != '')
{
$membergroupsql .= ' OR usergroupid = ' . $value;
}
}
}
Now i get this:
Fatal error: Call to a member function fetch_array() on a non-object in /www/htdocs/v030134/v2/forum/includes/functions_forumdisplay.php(413) : eval()'d code on line 49Hmm should've worked.. it worked for me, but now the new version is there .. and fixes it already :D

does this update 2.7 still mess up AJAX updates to thread titles (adding the date twice)??

05-03-2006, 09:07 AM
the new version works with the attendance mod. but you must view the date not the event. As when you click an event it goes straight to the thread. But if you click the date it shows you the original calendar version. Can anyone else confirm this?
Also a thought would the template variable help get the two mods together easier?

I can get both products to work together on seperate calendars provided I do not intergrate the 2nd (Event Attendance) Calendar with a Forum.
I can see [I will be attending this event] when viewing the Date View of the Calendar, but when I click it in the Forum intergrated Calendar I just get redirected to the showthread view and my name is NOT added as an attendee even if I go back to the Calendar Date View.

hello Evercraft, maybe a future addition: Adding a %day variable so threads also show the day of the week.
Example: %day %datetime - %title -%custom
It would result into:

Ok this post might bring on a slew of PMs and the hack is a little ugly so I don't want to post it in the open but I found a dirty solution for combining both hacks:
Event Attendance: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93782
vB Event Forums: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=102213
Notes
Works: The Attendees are shown in the Showthread view in the connected forum.
Works: The Attendees are shown in the Calendar preview.
Works: You can Attend or UnAttend in either view, showthread or Calendar.
BROKEN: When Attending the Event or UnAttending you are redirected to the Calendar Preview NOT the Showthread Preview but since there are the links "View Replies to this Event" & "Post a Reply to this Event" I felt my users could live with it.

Can this be used in the following way..
Moderator Posts Event, event is placed in Calendar.
Registered User Posts event (i.e. a suggestion) nothing is placed in Calendar?
I.e. have it permissions based, so if you usergroup x, it posts in calendar, if your y it doesnt happen?
Evercraft
05-09-2006, 04:56 PM
Sorry all, I will try to go through some of the replies soon. Work is being a bit busy again.
Nachtfalke, concerning the SQL Error, it sounds like it hasn't installed properly. Have you tried uninstalled, and reinstalling again? Also, was there any errors during the install?
The Ajax editing I should be able to fix fairly easily I think (haven't checked), but problem is my home internet is down atm, so having todo work from the office >.<

The plugin does support Moderation of Event Threads, using the normal permissions per usergroup.
If a user's event gets moderated, the Event & Thread will be hidden until either the Event or Thread is approved. Is that what your asking?

Good work there! That certainly helps me to look at intergrating the 2 together :)
It could be possible to make a product that does all of that for you. Not sure about the Event Attendance, but I could put some code in to the Event Forums, so it could check if that plugin is installed, and not run certain code (i.e the plugins you have disabled). Something to think about anyway.

Thats done through the Managed Calendar Options.
Goto your Admin CP, then Calendar & Calendar Manager. Edit a Calandaer, and just below the first few boxes (name and something else), you should see options to Add Custom Fields.
Add one called Cost/Price. Then when a user adds an event, it will give them the option to enter a value for that.
Hope that helps.

Thread Prefixes you can do.
In the Thread Title format you can put something like this:
[Event] %title : %datetime
and it should show up as
[Event] Cinema to see a film : fri 8th may 2006

how can i make a automatic answer to the event
I have seen a phpbb hack which is similar to this one, but it is a little bit more user friendly. The hack is called topic calendar:
http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=150857&highlight=calender+calendar
The difference is that you can edit any existing thread to make it a calendar event. You just edit the thread and select the date and time and the event is registered. And it is very easy to delete the event. Just delete the date/time and the threadc is not an event any more. Then it is just an ordinary thread again. The same applies for new threads. If you select a date it will be listed in the calendar, otherwise it is a forum thread only.
The problem I see is that this might have a big performance hit on large forums, since each thread needs to be checked to see if a date has been set.
What do you guys think?

FEATURE REQUEST:
Could you please add an option for users to "check" (it would become a tally, perhaps with a list of names of those people who did "check") that they will be attending the event?
This would be extremely useful for forums used for many forum administrators who run a clan-oriented web site.
Thank you!!
For some reason events are no longer showing in the calendar for guests after installing this. They have access to the linked forum.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi everybody,
in the last hours I tried to combine your and another Hacks and I´m nearly getting mad now. I hope you can give me a little hint.
The combination is the Hack for the Event-Enrollment and this Hack.. And the weired thing is: I cannot get any Information about the Enrollments on the side where the Event is above the thread.
As far as I understand the event is always built up by the calendar_showeventsbit-Template. In this there is the line "<div>$eventinfo[event]</div>" which builts up the enrollment-fields.
This is also in the thread-overview with the event above. But it doesn´t show up. Do you have any idea or any hint about that?
Best wishes, Julian!

OMG this is great installing as soon as I'm done here but and I know how everyone hates to hear all the additional request but one that I feel REALLY hurts the capability of the calendar in VB is not having the ability to create a hierarchy .. In other words have a local calendar that feeds events into regional calendars and then to national calendars :).

Well guys, I found out a way for my problem.
I have installed Adv. Editing Options for Mods and Admins and this hack conflicts with a lot of hack i have, for example vB Event Forums.
What you need to do is the following (All credits go to Paul M (http://www.thevbgeek.com/showthread.php?p=7115#post7115), i just added a line so it works with vB Events Forum):
Go to the Plugin Manager and look for the 'init_startup' hook inside the "Adv. Editing Options for Mods and Admins" Category.
Find:
global $vbulletin;
Add below it ;:
// Bypass Options //
// By Paul M //
// and Edit for Event Forums by COBRAws //
$bypass_aeo = false;
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'calendar') $bypass_aeo = true;
if ($bypass_aeo) {
$vbulletin->userinfo['editlevel'] = EDITLEVEL_AUTHOR;
return EDITLEVEL_AUTHOR;
}
// End of bypass options //
Hope it works. Worked for me.

It didn't work very well with 3.6. Missing some phrases, other funny behavior.
A strong suggestion for a feature (based on 5 minutes of use) I think a drop-down select for choosing the type of event (Single/Ranged/Recurring) would be very smart, as would some customization over the display of the date... I tried to post a multi-day event and it was throwing in the full date and time and taking up a huge amount of space. Making use of php's date() function syntax would be great for this. Good luck on the future development, and I hope it gets to the point where I could feel comfortable using it.

This is because it adds the custom fields to the title. If you go into your Admin CP and go into VBoptions -> Event Forums, you should see a option to change the title formatting. I think the description should be enough to help you remove what you need.
RE Event attendance, I still do really want to add this, and I agree with most of you it would add some great functionality to this plugin, but its just finding the time :(
As for 3.6, 3.6 its self isnt stable yet so I haven't even looked at it. I'm currently moving one of my forums to a new server, so will try and set a dev area with that and test 3.6 out and see whats going on. Can't really promise an eta though sorry.

Kind of a late reply but I see from your site you still have the problem.
I assume you upgraded from an old version? That event summary used to be a template addition, but not its added automatically by the plugin.
If you look at the Upgrading from Version 1.x to Version 2.5 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=956636#post956636), that should help you remove the correct code from your templates which is causing the problem.

Is there a way to make it a choice? My events reside in the same forum as general regional discussion. Many times members will want to kick around event ideas before setting up a date as well.
Ideally, you would have a method to choose if it is a new event or a discussion thread. Maybe two different buttons? One New Thread and one New Event for example.
Great hack, btw. I have wanted something like this for a long time.

quick question - can i display the replies/comments/posts on the calendar page, as i like my calendar event layout, but i just want to use the vb posting system on my calendar.
is it possible with this mod? if not, is it hard to implement?

No it is not possible with this mod, and I rekon it would be quite hard to implement.
Hi Evecraft, usefull hack - congatulations.
I just want to let you know what my feature request would be :-) :
Voting for favorite events + or - and then to sort events by popularity. Allong with thread users will be able to rate event.
Also is there any add-on able to add location field for the event and then categorize by location?

ok, I'm using version 2.7 on vb3.5.6 and I still can't figure out how to sort the event threads BY EVENT DATE instead by whatever the heck they're being sorted now.
what would I need to do to get that sorted out?
also, is there any way to make the titles of new threads (not the calendar event entries, just threads) keep the custom thread title (or at least the date of the event) when being moved from the original forum they've been posted to into an archive forum (for past events). why? because once they get moved to another forum (in this case, an archive) they lose all the custom thread title formatting (especially the date of the event) and it makes it REALLY hard to sort them in that new forum (by event date), plus it makes it really hard for visitors to locate the thread they are looking for when there's no date in the title.
another question - is there a way to automatically move (or delete) threads 24hrs (or whatever set time) AFTER the event expires/is passed? this would allow me to keep a clean and updated "upcoming events" forum without older threads cluttering it up...

I had the addon "EVENT ATTENDANCE" which let people select if they would attend an event or not. But when i installed EVENT FORUMS, that option is gone.
I luv both addons, but i would really like to see those functions combined. So have a forum style to discuss the event and also see who's attending.
possible?

p.s. - if anyone still has version 2.0 of this add-on, please let me know... I'd love to try and revert back to it until some issues are taken care of with the new versions (PM me)

would i be able to achieve the following?
ie: an existing thread called model party (on going). member add post about it's date/time. another member add another date/time into same thread. is it possible to link it to an event calendar without creating seperate threads for both time/date. this is possible using smf, but would love to use this via vbulletin. hope i'm making sense. thanks!

Is there a way to make it a choice? My events reside in the same forum as general regional discussion. Many times members will want to kick around event ideas before setting up a date as well.
Ideally, you would have a method to choose if it is a new event or a discussion thread. Maybe two different buttons? One New Thread and one New Event for example.
Great hack, btw. I have wanted something like this for a long time.
i created a separate forum titled "discussion for future meets/events" and then had one for "upcoming meets/events", and had to tell everyone to post discussion threads in a separate area...i know exactly what u meant though...some poeple still post discussion threads in the upcoming meet section, and then it messes the calendar up, and i have to go in and move/delete them =/
but yeah...integrating this with the who's attending add-on would be awsome :)

Every time I try to post an event with vbEvent Forum installed, it returns "This page is not designed to be access directly."
Anyone know why it does this? It only happens when I enable this product, if I disable it I can post events and post in the forum fine, but as soon as I enable the product, it won't let me post the events in the forum.

just wondering if anything has been created that would work with 3.5.x that ties the event attendance and event forums together yet...i know they have it for 3.6.x, but when I tried to run that, it doens't really work correctly.....

Same for me. I'm also getting "Could not find phrase" all over the page,
Could not find phrase 'time_x_to_y'.
:: Could not find phrase 'edit_event'
Most every link has "could not find phrase' but they work fine.

I'm having a challenge with this mod...there is an error with all the phrases even though they exist in the phrase library. Such as
Could not find phrase 'lv_vb_eventforums_phrase_noReplies'.
I can confirm that the phrases already exist.
What do I do now?
Thanks for your support.
