vB Event Forums

[HobbesGTS]

What templates do you have to edit?

[Ted S]

Do you also have the Event Attendance & vb Event Forums Integration installed? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=133970&page=7 If so are you having any issues? I am reading where there are the security token issues so I haven't tried it yet. I did install the Event Attendace for the calendar and no problems at all.

Thanks in advance.

Yes I do and no, I don't have any issues.

[Ted S]

What templates do you have to edit?

All the ones that contain <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" /> which I believe is just a couple for this addon.

[Tom_S]

Thanks Ted

Uninstalled until integration with gwowevents is fixed

I getting an email error message below after upgrade. I looked through myphpadmin in the database and that column doesnt exist. Is there a change from 3.6.x to 3.7.0 in this regard?

same error here... except i have two event forums on the same board and it works fine on one but not the other.

[wpeloquin]

I know this has been asked before, so maybe it's worth updating the mod with this ability? [Last Update: 23 Sep 2006]
the writer also hasn't been on since Aug 2007. don't think it's gonna be updated anytime soon, unless someone else takes it over.

So does it or does it not work for 3.7? If so, any alterations to install?
I can't upgrade to 3.7 until this mod works with it :(

i upgraded to 3.7, reverted/re-edited all my templates, and have had absolutely no problems with this working on 3.7.

and as stated earlier, i'll post it again for emphasis:

[Tanpapasmurf]

Would anyone be willing to update this for 3.7.1 ??

I would be willing to give anything for this as my site depends on stuff like this.

[rcwild]

Installed 3.7.1 last night and installed this mod this afternoon. Hadn't read all of the posts in this thread beforehand. The mod seems to be working fine.

[Ronseal]

I've been using version 3.3 of this Mod on vB 3.6.8 for a few months.
I upgraded to vB 3.7.1 last week and have had no problems with this Mod and it works fine for me.

[m_k]

Great hack! I first saw this HERE (http://www.englishforum.ch/forum.php), and then came looking for how to do it myself... got everything working fine, *except* for some reason the events at the bottom of forumhome only show "Todays Events" and not "Upcoming Events for the next xx day(s)"

Is it supposed to work by default, or is there some tricky fix required? Seems to work fine over at englishforum.ch where I first saw it - in fact the event listing at the bottom of their main page was what caught my attention in the first place.

[gr8rcake]

Is there a hack I could add to make recurring events thread display the day of the week / month on which the event occurs? at the moment it just shows the date range and a time.

[FamChap]

^screenshot

i've 2 questions.

1. how can i get the width of the first post to match the width of the rest of the layout?

2. there's some abitrary text appearing on the postbit and nowhere else on the forum except when i install this hack and only on an event thread. how do i remove it? i can't identify the source of it anywhere... and all my postbits are defaults.

[drgonzo120]

Would anyone be willing to update this for 3.7.1 ??

I would be willing to give anything for this as my site depends on stuff like this.

yes, it would be very nice ... although no one seems to have any problems... but it's better to be 100% sure about such issues .... "you never know ..."

[drgonzo120]

i'm willing to pay some guy ... who's also willing to pay and about what amount are we talking ???

[gr8rcake]

I got around my problem by making the event forum hidden. That way users can only access the threads through the calendar. That was the only way I could find, short of hacking the code, to get visitors to know on what day of the week / month the recurring event occurs.

I think the fix lies in calling the fetch_event_criteria function in includes/functions_calendar.php somewhere in the Mod.

The problem with my fix is that the threads now become hidden from the search engines unless I allow them to crawl the calendar. That's not a good thing.

We just don't use recurring events on our site... if the event repeats, each instance gets added to the calendar separately.

[intrigue]

this works on 3.7 also :)

[Rs06 Ant]

Mod of the month?

Works a treat for me :)

[meenstreek]

Thank you so very much! This is a wonderful Mod :)

[justchil]

I wish someone could maintain this mod... it's worked for years... just a few issues here and there.

Has anyone fixed the Soft-Delete actually physically deletes a thread problem? I know it's a known bug and a few others have asked.... if all else fails I'll figure it out and post up the solution.

[stwilson]

Agreed JustChil. This MOD is a must-have for many forums but unfortunately updates have fallen far behind. I know one of my biggest concerns was the gross amount of quieries the old version produced. I'm not sure if it was the event MOD or the event forum MOD but the combination of them both produced a heavy number of calls to the database.

[Bram H]

Will this mod be updated to 3.7.x in the future. By far one of the best mods ever created.

[scan-pa]

This mod works just fine in VB 3.7.2

[SVTCobraLTD]

This only works off the calendar? I cannot make it for a certain forum whenever a new thread is made?

[KURTZ]

just tested onto 3.7.2 PL1 ... there are some troubles ... like some uncached templates and if the forum that we select to use this add-on has activated the option 'Require Threads to have a Prefix' it doesn't runs ... :(

we need an upgrade of this superb hack ... :)

ps. also it adds 28 queries onto forumdisplay.php ...

[stwilson]

ps. also it adds 28 queries onto forumdisplay.php ...
THAT is why this beautiful MOD needs to be updated. Can't wait for the improved version.

[CodeRed]

Is there a way of changing the format event title to exclude the time?

The default format is %title%custom: %datetime however all I want to appear in the title is the %title and the date, without the time? I don't have any custom fields.

I just find the title's can be huge and difficult to read at first glance, for example: My reoccuring event at the local pub on the corner: 20 Aug 07 07:30 PM - 20 Aug 10 11:00 PM

Curious to see if this was ever addressed.... I too am interested in dropping the time frames..

thanks'

[Raul7]

i have a slight issue, i add like 20 events in one day, and it created a thread per event which I LOVE , the only problem is my forum page will be 20 thread of event then people post, so i though i would do is move the thread to another forum which i only have access and as events get closer move them back to main forum, the only problem with this is it breaks the link between the thread and the event ... is there any solution for this?

Thanks

[DrMirth]

This is a great mod and I'm also happy to pay to get this brushed up to work with 3.7 as well as it possibly can. Does anyone know if there is developer actively working on an update to this mod? If not, I might have a go myself.

[ptwiggens]

Hey everyone,

I am having this modification updated as I type this. I don't have time to read through this thread, but if everyone could post the known bugs, as well as feature requests, I can try and get them worked out.

Evercraft has graciously given me permission to release the updated modification when it is done. Thank you!!

[drgonzo120]

feature request: being able to move posts from one event thread to another ... (now you also cannot move a eventthread)

[stwilson]

Can't wait to see the updated version. Thanks for taking this on ptwiggins.

[rcwild]

Absolutely love this mod. Unfortunately, it caused some problems after I installed the 3.7.2 Patch Level 1. Started getting this error message:

Techs over at .com suggested I disable mods one at a time until the problem went away. It did once I disabled vB Event Forums.

Count me among those that hope a fix will be developed.

[TeknoSounds]

Users keep getting their posts thrown into a Moderation queue, and I can't seem to remove them. Been checking all the permissions and I can't seem to find where it might be preventing folks from posting normally.

On top of that when they're posted and put into moderation they aren't showing up as calendar events anymore. Just did a fresh install on everything, running 3.7.2 PL1

also getting the above email errors sent to me ^

anyone having the same issues or ideas to fix?

[TeknoSounds]

ok well it seems one of my usergroups has the ability to post without a problem, but I still can't seem to locate the permissions where I've apparently allowed them to do this. Driving me up the wall ugh.

What exactly DOESNT work with 3.7.2?

If I install this on my forums, what problems will I have?

[stwilson]

I haven't tried to install it on 3.7.2 based on some earlier replies but do know the older version executed an excessive amount of queries.

[Cocko]

With vB 3.6.x everything was fine. After Update to 3.7.2
got this error when a user submitted an event.

Farcaster's Mods are pretty much essential for my forum... and they dont work without this.

[stwilson]

I check every day for this MOD and am saddened it has not been updated. I wish another developer would step in and get this ready for 3.7. I will put in a few bucks to help.

[jpapadpapa]

I, too, keep checking on this. I would definitely be willing to donate and have a good enough budget to do so. PLEASE...someone update this!

Farcaster, could we atleast get an ETA on how long? This is holding my site back from going into production phase.

I can't be totally sure, as I haven't upgraded yet - but from looking at the new database schema and the upgrade files:

Open product-lv_vb_eventforums_v3_3.xml
Look for line 653 which should read:

AND threadid = " . intval($lv_vb_eventforums_newpost['threadid']) . "


Change it to:

AND primaryid = " . intval($lv_vb_eventforums_newpost['threadid']) . "


Find line 1196

AND threadid = " . intval($threadid) . "


change it to:

AND primaryid = " . intval($threadid) . "


Find line 2622:

AND threadid = " . intval($threadinfo['threadid']) . "


change it to:

AND primaryid = " . intval($threadinfo['threadid']) . "


Then reimport the product (overwrite = yes)

That should solve the DB error you're getting - whether it will fix everything else ... I couldn't say ...

[benFF]

I've just realised - my line numbers will be different due to extra customisations, but the bit to search for will be the same :)

[Jaxel]

Ben, are you working on getting this together for vb373?

[benFF]

Hi Jaxel. No, I don't use 3.7, I'm still on 3.6x - I'm waiting on a whole load of other mods to be upgraded before I can upgrade (this being one of them) - so I don't even know what doesn't work with this mod.

However that DB error that was mentioned before, I could look at without needing to upgrade, hence the post above :)

[IvyKeepMommy]

This mod works fine in 3.7.3 -- I've been running it since the beta version. There was a short period of problems with security tags but that was fixed by a vB upgrade.

It will NOT work with Farcaster's newest mod, but does continue to work using integration with his 3.6 mod.

I'm also looking for an update, but it WILL work on the newest versions of vB (however recurring events don't work properly)

[Jaxel]

Wait... so this mod DOES work with 373? What about the excessive amount of queries?

I'm assuming you meant it doesnt work with the following mod:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=178635

What about these:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=133970
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=138788

*EDIT*

Okay, I just installed this and now I have an extra 23 queries one very page! Thats extreme!

[benFF]

If you are using this mod to post to a closed or moderated forum, then it CAN'T work as is because the field names in the tables used have changed - however if you don't use that, then the fix above won't apply.

[Jaxel]

Okay... I want to do multi-day events... however, in the thread title, I DONT want times to show up... only days...

So instead of:
[09/15/2008 06:00 PM - 09/16/2008 11:00 PM] yet another test (woot)

I get
[09/15/2008 - 09/16/2008] yet another test (woot)

How would I do this?

* EDIT *

I figured it out... replaced the "// is this a single day event? Only add times if it isn't" section with this. In the add time and date to thread title plugin.

// is this a single day event? Only add times if it isn't
// 0 = single day
if($lv_vb_eventforums_event['dateline_to'] > 0)
{
// TO
if(strcmp($fromDate, $toDate) != 0)
{
$lv_vb_eventforums_datetime .= ' - ';
$lv_vb_eventforums_datetime .= $toDate;
}
}

You are correct in your assumption that I was stating it doesn't work with the this mod:

That coused my database error. My event forum was moderated. A must for my boards
event section. Result: still deativated the whole event stuff and I am waiting for updates.

In other words, there were so many (good) add-ons dying since I joined vb's community, others came out...

Note: I had a discussion with Mitchel (Evercraft), and it was decided that it would be better for all if i take-over this product and update/upgrading it to work perfect for the latest version of vBulletin.

As a matter of details, as i'm not releasing anything on vb.org, you will have to follow the link here: http://vbenhancer.com/evercraft-event-forums/ if you want to be informed of the new developments.

This hack was free, as a new product it will still be free.

BTW' i will not make a followup of this discussion, i'm working on my site only, so you will have to ask me there!

I am writing my own mod that will do everything this modification does, as well as facrasters event attendance, in one package.

It should be done by the end of the month, though probably within the next week.

Cheers!

P.S. if you have any feature requests let me know and I will try to add them.

That is the best news I've seen on VB in some time. PLEASE follow-through on your promise and you will have many happy followers. I will shoot you some PayPal dollars when complete. I know many are waiting for event signups with forum integration. Thank you for the update and I look forward to the release.

[stwilson]

I forgot to ask...what version are you coding for, 3.7 or 3.8?

[ptwiggens]

I forgot to ask...what version are you coding for, 3.7 or 3.8?

I'm releasing it for 3.7 first, but I'll be updating it for 3.8 in the very near future as well.

[ptwiggens]

Just to keep everyone updated... my modification is very nearly done... I'm pretty sure I'll have it done by the weekend!

[ragtek]

sounds good, because i hadn't found the time to make mine

[ptwiggens]

Alright everyone,

I am finished with my modification, and I am putting it on a production board to get the last few bugs out. I will probably be releasing it very late tonight.

Stay tuned!

[rabidkevin]

Hey man where is the production board i will gladly help beta test.

[absy]

is it ready yet please ?

[ptwiggens]

is it ready yet please ?

Hashing out the last few bugs... should be up shortly.

[stwilson]

Can't wait.

[absy]

we have been using vb event fine until today I suddenly get this error , no extra mods have been added ..

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted ........adminfunctions.php on line 3190

Can anyone help please?

[DrMirth]

Hashing out the last few bugs... should be up shortly.

Did you release your mod for others to try? I can't appear to find it anywhere. :(

[Alfa1]

It was released, but taken offline, because it had code from other authors. I hope that ptwiggens will release a new version.

[Leo Brazil]

Does any one is running this on 3.8 ?

If not, what mod are you using for ?

[WreckRman2]

I'm using it on 3.8 and it seems to work fine.

[Leo Brazil]

Just installed and tested everything. It really works on 3.8.0

[Aeolian]

yap works with latest vB...
cheers!

[nashtash]

i have 3.8.1 and when i create an event after i hit save event it takes me to a blank page. It creates the thread but does not create event in calander. I checked all the settings and have the correct calander ID and forum ID. Anyone have an idea what i might be doing wrong? oh and it was working fine before on 3.6.x t hen i upgraded.

[m_k]

Working great so far on 3.8.1 with vba module

I realize I am probably i the wrong spot here but does anyone know how to reset vcash so that all on my forum are set to the same amount again?

[credenscel]

Is there a way to remove the "new thread" button from my event forums? i only want the "New Event" button to remain on my "event threads". This creates the callendar entries.

People keep posting "new threads" instead of "new events" so i want to disable the new thread option.

I would really appreciate it if someone could look into this.

Works on 3.7.5 except for bbcode.
bbcode is allowed but can't see it (only bbcode tag).

When you have sub forums it doesn't post to the correct forum. Any ideas how to fix this?
It only reads the top calendar id and forum id in the list. So it post all events in the very first forum in the list in the settings.

So I have:
1:9
1:34
1:35
1:36
1:37
1:38
1:39

It post the to the correct calendar. I guess thats cause its only one calendar I am using. But it makes all threads in forum id 9.


I know its in this code.



// find the forum to add a thread to
$lv_vb_eventforums_map = preg_split('/[\n:]/', trim($this->registry->options['lv_vb_eventforums_map']));
for($lv_vb_eventforums_i = 0; $lv_vb_eventforums_i<count($lv_vb_eventforums_map); $lv_vb_eventforums_i+=2)
{
if($this->fetch_field('calendarid') == intval($lv_vb_eventforums_map[$lv_vb_eventforums_i]))
{
$lv_vb_eventforums_forumid = $lv_vb_eventforums_map[$lv_vb_eventforums_i+1];
break;
}
}

if(isset($lv_vb_eventforums_forumid))
{
if(isset($this->info['lv_vb_eventforums_linkeventtothread']) && ($this->info['lv_vb_eventforums_linkeventtothread'] > 0))
{

$this->dbobject->query_write("

Tried to run this on 373 and find everythings working except theres no reply buttons in the threads first post in event forum, so it works for posting new calendar linked event threads from the forum section, but then no one has any way to reply to them. Anyone seen this issue before?

I also contacted the site linked above to ask who now supports this mod and was told:

i actually did not have time to have a look at this addon because the original author continued his development, so i had no need to look at it... sorry.

So hes out - looks like someone needs to go back to the original author and adopt this again...? Or if someone now 'owns' it, who?

[benstillman]

FYI for you 3.8 users.... if you turn on error logging and display errors in php, you'll get this:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /path/to/forums.php(67) : eval()'d code on line 194

Disable this plugin, and the error goes away.

[djsd]

I also want to post all events to google calendar and keep them in sync when editing (no editing will be done inside google), so that people get more options in how to subscribe to events and more importantly into how to get the event information into their desktop/mobile calendar clients or into blogs like wordpress.

I am quite new to vbulletin but very experienced in PHP/SQL development in general. I am worried that whatever I need to add could screw up this mod. Would this be a feature worth while adding to this mod itself and would such code contributions be accepted?

[RichieBoy67]

It would be great if someone could get these working with 3.8...these types of mods are few and needed..

[SamirDarji]

Has anyone had a problem posting HTML to an event with this mod? I've got HTML enabled for my calendars and when I post the following, it won't work. If I post it to another calendar that is not integrated with a forum, it displays fine. Any ideas where to look? It seems to be disabling html in a calendar somehow.

Works great on my 3.8.2? It was installed orignally on a 3.6.4 and upgraded to 3.8.2, re did template edits and all cool, no white pages yet?

[SVTCobraLTD]

How to add attachments to first post? 3.6.11

[RichieBoy67]

I finally have it working with 3.8.2--I would like to modify it now so when you click on the "New Event" button you can still have a selection of either posting a ranged event, etc..

Has anyone done this yet? I was thinking of either making the new event button a drop down or I could add a table to the events page below the post box...

If anyone has already written this it would save me from having to do it myself..lol Anyone??lol

Thanks

[SamirDarji]

I finally have it working with 3.8.2--I would like to modify it now so when you click on the "New Event" button you can still have a selection of either posting a ranged event, etc..I'm still trying to get around the html problem. :( I think I've figured out a way to use bbcode. I've been experimenting with replacement variables, but with only intermittant success. There's a youtube embedding plugin that I'm going to try and see if it works.

For your request, I think it would be as simple as putting in a conditional in the thread display template (sorry don't remember the name) that would have a drop-down box like under "community" when the new event button is clicked. And you can have the different calendar options there. I've thought about doing the same thing and may code it up in the next month or so.

[SamirDarji]

HTML problem solved. :)

Because this plugin does store calendar events in the first post of the linked thread, the calendar event is actually searchable. However, a caveat to this design is that forum permissions override calendar permissions. I had my calendar set to allow html and my linked forum set to HTML not allowed. The forum permissions were overriding the calendar ones. When I set the forum permission to allow HTML, all my calendar events with HTML allowed HTML. :)

This also explains why moving a post older than the calendar event thread to that thread changes the calendar event. It's why merging threads is turned in event forums. But it is still possible to move individual posts, so your staff must know not to move a post older than an calendar event thread to that thread. There's no protection from moving posts like for merging threads.

I will be working on this conditional in the next two weeks now that the HTML problem is solved.

[SamirDarji]

Anyone tried turning on moderation for calendar and/or threads? It doesn't seem to work. :(

[corsacrazy]

does this work for vb 3.8

[SamirDarji]

does this work for vb 3.8It will if you follow the directions above. I've got it working in 3.8.3.

[rabidkevin]

It works with my 3.8.4 out of the box I had no make no changes or alterations..

[corsacrazy]

i have hidden threads to guests, hidden calendar to guests but when i visit the event forum i have it still shows the "https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/08/8.gif (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/#top) Upcoming Events for the Next X Day(s)" with the Thread /event titles!! how can this be?

should it not say a message or hide this section all together?

[SamirDarji]

If you are visiting, it may be using your permissions. Set up a test user and put them in the same usergroup as your registered users and see what happens.

Permissions are a bit funny with event forums. I never figured out a way to get thread/event moderation to work.

im definately visiting as a guest as i logged out and opened a different browser, it hides all the posts fine but the event summary bar in $navbits still shows

[SamirDarji]

Strange. I just looked for the same issue on my test system, but mine is working correctly. :confused:

Try reinstalling the plugin overriding the existing installation. This will disconnect all existing event forums so this better be on a test system.

[corsacrazy]

on live site :( its not such a big deal i suppose, because if they click it then cant see anything apart from the stndard vb access error. just would be nice to have something like this: see photoshop below

http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/5214/14735268.jpg

[SamirDarji]

Something didn't install right. It won't show any events if they don't have permissions...wait...permissions. I think I know why!

Check BOTH your calendar AND forum permissions. I bet the calendar permissions still allow guests.

think again bat man..

Can View Calendar - Yes No

[SamirDarji]

Was that it?

[corsacrazy]

Was that it?
nah.. the permissions were correct and set to NO, meaning users cant see this calendar.. but they can within the event forum still

[SamirDarji]

If they can still see the forum, then that's the problem. Try turning off the thread viewing permission for the group. That should do it.

The permissions work funny sometimes in event forums when both forum and calendar permissions are set to two different settings. I had this issue when I couldn't get HTML to show in my event listings even though the HTML was on for the calendar. I had to turn it on for the thread too.

[corsacrazy]

If i turn that off then the block will dissappear from forum home..

i like the way it still shows the forum and in last poster coloumn has the word "private"

[SamirDarji]

Hmm...it's a limitation of the plugin.

But a way you can get he same effect is this. Go ahead and set the permissions on the hidden forum to make it dissappear. Then create a new forum with the same name as the one that is an event forum. Make this one private and only displayed to guests. This way, guests see the forum too, but can't access it anyways since they don't have permission. When they fully register, they see the other forum, but won't know that it's technically a different forum.

[corsacrazy]

or just figure out how to apply the standard cal permissions to the events being shown inside the forum :p hehe

[corsacrazy]

I just noticed... recurring events dont seem to work any more! also how can i change the %datetime out put to have a nicer layout and show D/M/Y not m-d-y

[SamirDarji]

or just figure out how to apply the standard cal permissions to the events being shown inside the forum :p heheDid you do this and it work, or are you suggesting a change in the way the plugin works?

[SamirDarji]

I just noticed... recurring events dont seem to work any more! also how can i change the %datetime out put to have a nicer layout and show D/M/Y not m-d-yWhat do you mean by they don't work? Can you not create them? Are you talking about existing events?

To change the date/time format you have to modify the code. I modified the install script to only put only the month and day.

[corsacrazy]

i mean, i have set up an event that repeats every last tuesday of the month and it doesnt show up on each calendar month, only the month i created it ?

[SamirDarji]

i mean, i have set up an event that repeats every last tuesday of the month and it doesnt show up on each calendar month, only the month i created it ?Have you checked the dates and the year? Try making a second non-event forum linked calendar and see if it will create the event there.

[trotskid]

Definitively in my forum (3.8.3) doesn't appear the new event button in two differents styles (including default). Anyway works well at the moment.

[SamirDarji]

The new event button requires changing your styles manually, so that's normal.

[trotskid]

I know that.. but doesn't work on my forum.

<td class="smallfont"><if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">

<else />&nbsp;</if></td>

[SamirDarji]

Did you check under the plugin options that you have this enabled as well?

[trotskid]

I've read first post, yes.

[SamirDarji]

Hmmm...try taking out the condition of the template mod to see if the button shows at all. If it doesn't, then something is wrong with the image part of it. If it does, then something is wrong with the conditional part of it.

[dragtech]

Worked perfect for 3.8.4 install. I haven't gotten the "New Event" button working, but i think that is more of the style i have.

Now i need to find out if "Thread Prefixes" will work on Event post and how? Anyone know?

[SamirDarji]

I just started playing with prefixes on my test system after I read your post. I think because this mod works by creating a calendar item and copying it to the first post of a thread that the prefix system won't work on an event forum. I'm going to try it in a second and see what happens...

[SamirDarji]

It's just as I suspected. A new thread is actually creating a new event so the thread title and all that isn't even being used. It would take a lot to make thread prefixes work. :(

[SamirDarji]

Setting "Posted Events are Not Moderated" to "No" on a usergroup breaks this mod. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[dragtech]

I have my board as Not Moderated and not having any problems.

[SamirDarji]

Do you have any of the usergroups "Posted Events are Not Moderated" set to "No"?

[Cerbero1000]

Any way to have bbcode working? It's allowen on calendar and forum permissions but nothing!

[SamirDarji]

Any way to have bbcode working? It's allowen on calendar and forum permissions but nothing!BBcode works fine on mine. :confused: Check your usergroup permissions.

[Cerbero1000]

No problem with the admin usergroup...

[SamirDarji]

No problem with the admin usergroup...Then it's almost definitely a permissions issue with that other usergroup. Make a test user and put them under that usergroup and then look at the forum permissions at the bottom of a thread. If "bbcode is off" then the permissions need to be changed.

[Cerbero1000]

Uhm, it's a Ces Parser Permission mod problem. If I disable the product, bbcode works fine..

[SamirDarji]

What is Ces Parser Permission mod?

[SamirDarji]

Anyone have any problems when upgrading to Patch Level 1 on 3.8.4?

I have vbadvanced installed, but I don't use it on my event forums. I think you'll need to have the vba enabled for both calendar event listings and forum threads for it to work, but this is just a guess.

[ludachris]

Any idea how to make multiple "new event" links in the forums to include all 3 event types (single day, ranged, recurring)? I don't want my users to be limited to only being able to post one type of event.

I imagine it has to do with modifying the "Redirect NEW THREAD link to NEW EVENT form" plugin somehow. I just can't picture how to do it.

Change your setting in the vb events options "Use template variable for Event Details" to yes so that you place the $lv_vb_eventforums_eventdetails variable in your showthread template (under the $poll variable) - because right now it's showing up at the end of your navbar template. That should fix your alignment.

In template FORUMDISPLAY you have the code for the newthread button. I was going to put in an if statement to check if it is an event forum, and if so display the dropdown box for 'Add New Event' from the calendar template instead of the newthread.gif.

In fact, after looking at this methodology and the one by the author for the 'new event' button option. You can use the new event option in the settings and place this code instead of the one listed by the author:<if condition="$show['neweventlink']">&nbsp;<a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newevent&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><div class="vbmenu_popup" id="add_event_menu" style="display:none">

I haven't tested this at all, so try it out and set what happens. It's only a template change so you can easily change it back. Be sure to set the option in the event forum options to use the 'new event' button instead of the 'new thread' one.

[SamirDarji]

I haven't tested this at all, so try it out and set what happens. It's only a template change so you can easily change it back. Be sure to set the option in the event forum options to use the 'new event' button instead of the 'new thread' one.
The problem is, the original hack html code doesn't list the calendarID, it's in the plugin (where the calendar and forum is mapped). So the new event button only references the forumID. I tried getting the calendarID to print on the page to see if it would work without success. The plugin needs to be edited, it can't be done through html alone.

[SamirDarji]

Hmmm...I see what you're saying. It's a dirty solution, but you could hard code the calendar ID if you only have one event forum. Or if you have multiple, use an if statement that checks what the forum ID is and then puts the appropriate calendar ID. I'm going to see if I can work on this tonight. I can't sleep.

[SamirDarji]

I got something working, but without the javascript menus. I had to hardcode not only the calendar ID, but the phrases for the add event menu. It works, but looks terrible. I'll have to work on it more later.

THis working on 3.8.4?

THis working on 3.8.4?
i have it working fine out of the box on 3.8.4 pl1

[Bluefin221]

This mod has become an integral part of my forum infact one of the busiest sections is my event forums, I really hope something can be sorted with it for vb4 as I would hate to lose this mod.

[zapiy]

Any managed to get the button to work on VB 3.8.4?

[SamirDarji]

I agree.

[rabidkevin]

Someone needs to rewrire this mod for vb4 asap. I've got $100 towards the fund.

[scan-pa]

I also have this MOD in heavy use. Looks like the coder of this mod has not been online since Sept. 2009. Not a good sign.

Has anyone tried the mod on any of the vB4 Beta or RC. yet?

It won't work.

[SamirDarji]

I won't be moving to vb4 unless this mod or a similar one works. I also an willing to help fund a mod with support.

[Bluefin221]

I'm also willing to make a donation for this mod being upgraded.

[BBR-APBT]

I have started to play with this. I am not using none of this code. I plan to rewrite the whole thing from the ground up. Here are my thoughts.

Mine will work with forums and subforums.
Mine will only have usergroup permissions for Posting Only. - Read permissions come from vbulletin settings already in place.
When you click New Event it will forward you to my new file eventthread.php instead of newthread. Thus allowing me to to split this into two database tables and allowing me my own templates so on this page you will see the same thing you see now on add new event from the calender page.

This will then take your post and insert it to the calender and the forum you pressed new event in.

You will have to disable posting of new events on the calender its self if you want every event posted through the forums already an option in the adminCP.

Mine will be simple and sweet. There is no estimated time on a release. I like to work out as many bugs as I can. I will not accept no money. In exchange for a mod this size there will be a very small copyright on the post event page. Please don't blow up my PM box asking when it will be done. This is a major part of my forum and I will release it for all as soon as it is working 100% on my end.

[Alfa1]

Will you add RSVP (event attendance)?

[BBR-APBT]

Will you add RSVP (event attendance)?
Yeah I will add that with a option to turn it off.

I do not want to take over this thread with suggestions.


Be aware this may take me some time to get working. To be honest I like to hope evercraft comes by and releases a update.

[jnrdavo]

major part of my forums also...

I've migrated 2 to VB4, but missing this one already.

Happy to put up some $'s also to get this to work on VB4.

I've personally played with this mod extensively before implementation, as many others have in this thread. If you've started a thread on your proposed mod, please let us know the link so we can keep discussions with you separate from those about this mod.

I'm ecstatic that someone thinks this mod is worthy of carrying over to vb4. I was afraid the concept was really as unimportant as the rest of the world thinks it is.

This mod combined with Farcaster's RSVP are a big deal on my board too....vB 4.0 just killed them all

[MedellinStyle]

waitinggggg rspv coool!!!!!

[Shanj]

I know this Calendar mod is on hold waiting for a rewrite.

But to anyone who has used it, is it possible to designate SELECTED events only for the Events forum?
This could be very useful to me on its return, but I wouldn't want every tiny item to have a forum thread - many of my events are small routine things that happen every week.

[BBR-APBT]

This is a lot of work with out using any of this code.

I have no errors but it don't work either. So if any other coder wants to take on this project or work with me on it. Other wise it will not be out any time soon.

[Verionia]

Version 4.0?

I didn't think it was going to be easy to write from scratch, but I think there's a lot of efficiency that can be gained from the existing code base.

Have you figured out the pseudocode and the basic functions needed? I can only program enough to make small pieces of code for myself, but I'm willing to help however I can.

This could be very useful to me on its return, but I wouldn't want every tiny item to have a forum thread - many of my events are small routine things that happen every week.This would be hard to implement as it would require another db field to indicate which events have a event thread and which don't.

A workaround is to have two calendars--one for regular events that don't need a discussion and one for those that do. The other thing would be to close the threads for those that you don't want a discussion.

[BBR-APBT]

I have converted this code to work but can not release it as Evercraft has not returned none of my emails asking if I can release his code.

I did not add the event summery for each forum. I left that code out.
Only thing I wanted was forum/calendar integration.

I thought you'll code it from start?:(

I can not release it as I do not own the code.

I can tell you there are no bugs a I have stripped it down to just the forum/calendar integration. Its running on my live site as we speak.

[SamirDarji]

I can not release it as I do not own the code.Sorry, what I meant was a demo site. This way, we can use it, but that's it.

[MedellinStyle]

damnn it this is the base of my forum !!!!!!!!!!!!! vb 4 is no getting it at all :S

[Bluefin221]

I've dropped the author a note on his site to see what his intentions are and whether he will give permission for the code to be updated by someone else. While I do not have the skills to upgrade the mod for vb 4.0 I can at least do the work to get the permissions for the code to be played around with by someone else.

[BBR-APBT]

If any one has any way to contact him or get in touch with him I have this working on my 4.0 site and will release the code on his permission.

As I said I have sent like 3 emails to 3 different email address he has listed on the internet.
The last I can tell he was online is at one of his blogs dec 9, 09.

So soon as he gives me permission this will be in the 4.0 mods category.

[rabidkevin]

Got me on the edge of my seat... this is the only mod i need to complete my 4.0 transition!

Thanks for the effort buddy, hopefully evercraft saves the day.

I contacted him via his site contact us form and still not had any response, this is a real shame as I personally need this mod for my site, a bit frustrating for us all when no one appears to be responding.

Here is my problem in 3.8.4 pl2. The original event post is not showing up.

I added the SHOWTHREAD template edit as you can see in the left of the screen show below.

Anyone know why its not working?

[utahraves]

Have you guys tried e-mailing him on dev@onimobi.com??? I tracked down his blog via his website http://www.onidev.com/blog/ and he has updated it this year soooooo someone should e-mail that e-mail address and ask for permission for the re-release.

Yes I have I have emailed him on several email addresses. Feel free to try to email him and ask him to come read this thread. Maybe my emails are going to his spam box.

working on 3.8.3 so far. I'd like to know of a fix for the bugs though if possible since I won't be upgrading to vB 4.

[funinbc]

how can I get this to work with differnt styles within the same forum. Everything works with my main style but if I change the style then thene sign up part of the mod is missing

Missing is the input box part of the mod in any style other then the main style

here is a link to the working mod with my maine style
http://www.funinbc.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107651


*** one more thing I did Use template variable for Event Details and again when I did change this to yes and add the code same thing. it work in my main style but NOT in any other style i have


please help

[funinbc]

ok what I have figured is it will ONLY work with my main style. What and where do I have to add something for it to work with my other styles?

[SamirDarji]

I don't know how many templates this mod touched and how many php files were involved, but basically you'll need to figure all this out and then replicate it to your other styles if they aren't child styles to your main styles.

[funinbc]

Your right this is not a child styles to my main style.

would it makes sense to upload the mod again and attach it to the new style or would this screw things up too much. I do not know the code so I can only do the best I can.
