Forum Home Enhancements - Upcoming Events on Top of Pages [Archive]

Front Range

01-27-2010, 10:00 PM

This is what I did to make Upcoming Events display nicely on the top of Forumhome:

Added below {vb:raw header}{vb:raw navbar}


<div id="wgo" class="collapse wgo_block">
<h2>
<span>
Upcoming Events
</span>
</h2>
<div class="floatcontainer">
<div id="wgo_events" class="wgo_subblock">
<ol class="commalist">
{vb:raw upcomingevents}
</ol>
</div>
</dl>
</div>
</div>


Note that the commalist class reduces the space this takes and displays nicely.

If anyone can help by explaining how this can be added to all pages I would be grateful.

You are using the block WGO ( whats going on ) isnt that conflicting with the actual WGO block for whats going on

Ahh strike that you havent got it collpase/expand so looks fine :)

Front Range

01-29-2010, 02:04 AM

Sorry but I have no idea why anyone would have different results than I'm having. I did the same basic concept on 3.8 too. I just updated to the latest (4.01?) and had to revert the forumhome template which eliminated the Upcoming Events so just pasted what I posted here and it worked fine.

See it in person: http://frontrange4x4.com

I'd like to get a forum block with this too but don't "get" them yet. I do use the widget available.

The donation mod is here: http://www.phpjabbers.com/paypal-donate-script/ but you should know you have to enter the donations received manually by the admin script.

Front Range

01-29-2010, 09:39 PM

Does not work on mine. I placed in ForumHome underneath the options you selected and still do not see the actual events. I have a LOT of events being an event board and all...

Uninstalled/Removed code.
Provide screen shots and try again :)

Have you tried this again utahraves? My site is very dependent on events and my users rely on this showing. I'll eventually get it on all pages but my limited knowledge is limiting me. If you use the code I provided on forumhome and the events are showing in WGO they have to show up on top too.

I just changed the notices to the same format and that works just as well.

Heya,

I luv what you've done with the site...looks really cool!

Please be patient with my question, i'm a real novice:-)

Where do I actually place that code you displayed? Is it through admincp? Also, which widget are you using on the front page for 'upcoming runs'?

Cheers.

This is so VB3.. Need to start thinking VB4.x. We need to get away from putting everything on the ForumHome and put it on the CMS. That's where stuff belongs. Including recent threads, etc. A Forum is a forum.. all this other stuff just makes it look trashy and cluttered.

Videx

01-30-2010, 12:42 PM

all this other stuff just makes it look trashy and cluttered.I won't really disagree, as I wouldn't put "recent threads" on forumhome myself, but I do put it out on the CMS. But I think it's all about options. Being a community forum, our calendar is pretty important, and I'd like the option of having it in both places. Right now someone has to click through to the calendar to see what's on for today and that sucks.

Front Range

01-30-2010, 10:23 PM

The calendar is critical and having the events on top of the forum is the only way to go for my site, my users love it. Anyone who doesn't like it shouldn't use, life's like that.

Well, I couldn't hold out much longer, so marked as installed. Only problem - the background behind the words "upcoming events" is dark gray instead of that light blue color the vb4 default style uses.?

I used the WGO div style because I like WGO to match the forums colors. You can change the color used in WGO to match your forums which IMHO looks better than the gray. I'm not sure how to change it another way, sorry.

Front Range 4x4

03-12-2010, 10:07 PM

Sure, I don't use birthdays there myself but you can put something like this which I use elsewhere on the top of the page:

<vb:if condition="$show['birthdays']">
<ol class="commalist" id="wgo_onlineusers_list">
<img src="images/smilies/birthday.gif"> Happy Birthday to{vb:raw birthdays}!
</vb:if>

You might have to check the image path but that's close.

Basically you can take anything from WGO and paste it in there and by using <ol class="commalist" id="wgo_onlineusers_list"> you make it into a comma list instead vertical like in WGO to save space.

Sideblocks are actually part of the forum. If you enable sideblocks (and create a block) it appears as a column, either on the left or the right side of the forums, where you can add last forum posts, last blog entries, links to cms articles and what not. I'd like to use your code as a sideblock but I'm a serious noob to vbulletin..

You can see an example of the sideblock here: http://edmondconnect.com/forum.php at my site. It's the Welcome box on the right side of the forums. The block I have there now is pulling the lastest CMS articles. But there's an option for custom php/html blocks that I though perhaps your code could be put in and get the latest events to come up...unfortunately I just don't know how to implement it.

Just a thought..

You can add an image anywhere you want one using something like this:

Put your_image.png in the images/misc directory.

For example:


<div id="wgo" class="collapse wgo_block">
<h2>

<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/your_image.png" alt="Your Image name" />

Same if i place an event for say Gears Of War, It places a Gears Of War image

Somehow it needs to fetch an image from the posted event and have an option to include an image

All it does is take the Upcoming Events from WGO and puts it on the top of FORUMHOME. If it's working in WGO, it will work on the top of the page. The code just 'pretties it up' a bit.
ok i have it kind of working it shows only the events for today, but thats what it shows in the WGO bit too, i have included a screen is their a setting somewhere to make wgo show upcomeing calender events i dont have turned on or something?

How many events do you have? If you have 1, that's all that can show. If you have more you need to set the length of time ahead to display.

Set for number of days to display. I use 90

You can also just copy & paste the appropriate section from WGO and keep it as it is originally but in a more visible spot.

Done, but I sure wish you could get the product fixed as I really don't look forward to doing manual edits with every upgrade.

What did you have to do Videx? I'm at 4.0.2 myself so haven't dealt with upgrades.

I just did what you just suggested - copied and pasted the whole upcoming events block to the top of the forumhome template. As per my post in the other thread, all the dates were a day off with the product, as well as events being posted from 5 days out instead of the next 3 days.

That's odd but maybe Dark_Wizard has an answer.

is this fixed yet guys ??? doesnt work on our forum at the min ...It's not broken. Though there are way too many versions floating around right now. You should go over to the add-on thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=246092) and try that one before messing with this version which requires manual editing.

If you still need to post a problem, we'll need more info. First, assure us you're using the default style and have tried disabling all other products. Then at least give us a link.

Attached is the plugin version I'm using on my forum now - vBulletin 4.0.2. I have no idea if it works on later versions.

VOTE NOW! (http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-7656)

vB has been taking their sweet time developing a corporate solution for this Calendar Widget. It has been logged in Jira, but there have only been TWO votes so far and it appears to have been deprioritized.

Please log into Jira and VOTE FOR THIS! It will only take you a minute: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-7656

A number of customer have asked for a calendar widget that will access the current site calendar. That is distinct from the current cms calendar widget that displays dates on which articles have been published. Wayne also feels this should get a high priority.

I've added this but the headerbar isn't displaying. Any ideas where I could be going wrong? - www.t-muscle.co.uk

Woot! Thanks for this. My writing group REALLY uses this, now they can't miss an upcoming event because of not scrolling down.

not sure if it will show to unregistered guests but here's my link:
http://dawnsistersweyr.net/forum.php

I saw where someone got it to scroll left to right marquee style... is there a way to scroll it top to bottom (like the words at the beginning of Star Wars)?

I'm going to see if i can figure out how to make it show on other forum pages as well... I have an idea......

If you only want the top upcoming events to show to the usergroups as set in vB Settings>Options then add
<vb:if condition="$show['upcomingevents']"> at the beginning
and
</vb:if>
at the end

Anybody know what the phrase would be for upcoming birthdays?

Eq4bits

03-29-2011, 10:11 PM

It would have to be in a separate 'box' but this should work: (you could replace 'Birthdays' with 'Happy Birthday To:' or whatever you want ;))

<div id="wgo" class="collapse wgo_block">
<h2>
<span>
Birthdays
</span>
</h2>
<div class="floatcontainer">
<div id="wgo_events" class="wgo_subblock">
<ol class="commalist">
{vb:raw birthdays}
</ol>
</div>
</dl>
</div>

anyone know how to access {vb:raw upcomingevents} ? I'd like to format it into two columns instead of one per line or using the commalist.

Does anyone know how to change the 'order' of the events listed? I have multiple calendars that this 'pulls' events from, but I want the 'calendar2 event(s)' to show right after the normal date, and THEN events from the other 2 or 3 calendars, preferably in calendar ID# order
i.e.
07/06/2015: Calendar2 event, Calendar5 event, Calendar6 event
figured it out the 'start' time for the calendar 2 events has to be before any of the others, it's a b*&^% but i've made everything ranged properly and it's all viewing properly now.
