BBR - vB Event Forums

[BBR-APBT]

I will no longer support vBulletin because of IB and the agile development, and they are not fixing bugs like they should. Instead they add bloat.

[KURTZ]

TAGGED! later i'll give a try ... but seems really good ...

[KURTZ]

just wondering, is this hack compatible with the FACEBOOK bridge by MR.Paint? it seems not ... :S

another question: when i tried to open a thread i saw that the time zone was settled onto the GMT time, maybe it's possible to set automatically at the time zone that we have settled into our UCP?

anyway good job ;)

Why do you think it does not work with the Facebook bridge?
I use both on my site and it works fine.

I will look into changing that. How ever I do believe that is the default calendar settings.
This modification did not change any settings. It only uses existing ones.

Is this hack compatible with EverCraft's Event Attendance hack? I read numerous posts in the past that these two add-ons did not play well together...

Hi BBR, Amazing man. I was waiting for this one. But i am still running on 4.0 and is it working on this one ?

Thanks :)

I do not see why it would not run on 4.0, Please test on a test site and not a live site. I have only tested it on 4.0.1.

As I said I will look into it.

Edit:
After looking into it more the way it is is the best way to do it. I am not editing the calendars default code.
This is how the vBulletin calendar works.

If I set the event that is in Ohio to Ohio's timezone and then you travel from Maryland to Ohio you will then be on Ohio's timezone so there would be no change in the time listed. If you are in the hotel in Ohio and sign on to the site and your setting is for EST cause you live in Maryland then the time for the event will be wrong and you will be a hour late.

Further more as the user sets the time for events there is no way to change their setting for each end user. That is just how the calendar works.

[KURTZ]

As I said I will look into it.

thanks mate :)

It's me again.
Just installed it and it work but there is a small problem.
What happend with my avatar and profile info ? (See attachm.)

And when you use the link NEW POST...it won't show the date next to the title

You are correct. That is a bug in Vbulletin 4.0.1 as the default calendar with out this modification installed does the same thing.
The first post in a calendar thread you see is the default calendar template. I just called the default calendar template to the thread. I did not edit it at all what so ever.

The times and dates for the title are only added in forumdisplay and showthread.
That is how it was intended to work.

Other wise every time the event time was updated it would have to update the title of the thread. Thus causing a big mess when you update only the end time or start time.

Do you have an idea how your mod goes with Farcaster's RSVP ?

Coincidently or not both were reliesed almost at the same time.

Will it work with both modifications installed?
I do not know I did not test that.

Will they be integrated?
I did read some where in one of his post that he is willing to work with who ever to get these modifications working together. So in due time we will get together and make these two modifications work flawlessly together.

As I just released this and he just released his. I did not have time to talk with him to see what is going on.

[cory_booth]

Confirmed...
*** NOT *** Compatible with FarCaster's RSVP - just released here for VB4.

Thanks for that. It's good to see at least you have something in mind about this integration. :up:

[BBR-APBT]

I will install both on my test forum later today and see what I can get going.

You probably know this already, but there is tons of talk in the 3.x forums about these two mods and their incompatabilities. Perhaps that can help locate where the road block is...

[meissenation]

When you guys say that it's "NOT" compatible, do you mean that it's not linked or that something actually breaks? Obviously there is no integration between the two at the moment but if I install both will something break or will I just not see the RSVP in my Event thread?

From what I could tell this is what will happen.

All your calendars are forwarded to a thread via this mod. The Event attendance will not show what so ever. The good thing is there is no errors that I have found yet.

How ever this modification totally disables the event attendance mod.

[meissenation]

Oh, right - because the Event Attendance only shows up on the calendar and not on showthread. Makes sense.

Installed. I can have members RSVP by posting in the thread, I can't get my members to use the calendar to post events. :D

[meissenation]

I installed Farcaster's integration between Event Forums and Event Attendance... the 3.6 version.

First thing I noticed was that Farcaster's plugin "redirect links to individual events to their threads instead (INTEGRATED w/ RSVP VERSION)" for calendar_getday_start - the very last line eval(exec_header_redirect('showthread.php?t=' etc should be changed from true to false like you (BBR) did in your plugin.

Next up is to make the RSVP show up on the showthread... There's only 3 plugins for the integration so this (in theory) shouldn't be too hard...

[utahraves]

OMG I am so excited for this install! I'll install it when I get to work.

[meissenation]

Wow OK while the first plugin was fairly easy to get it to convert the link, the showthread_complete plugin is completely foreign to me. Obviously all the fetch_templates need to be changed accordingly...

[utahraves]

Installed with no problem. If you have the previous version installed, remove it first! I had it disabled and was getting sql errors but now I'm good in the hood.

Thanks BBR!

Also: Could you describe which part you didn't add back from the previous version? "Event Summary" - what's that? My forum people liked that I had the week work of events at the top of that forum (like upcoming events for the next 5 or 7 days).

Now that this modification has been converted to vb4, I'll see what I can do to get mine working with this one. If there is a work around needed in the Event Forums script, I'd like to talk to you about integrating it in the base code.

Congrats on finally getting Evercraft's permission to post this! :)

Tagged for now, awaiting RSVP mod integration. Thanks!

[COL NIL SATIS]

reserved..this looks class by the way

[scan-pa]

All, I can say is a Big Thank You to all involved and how several coders are looking to make two separate mods work together. That is true team spirit and shows how good of a site vB.org and its users are.

Thanks again to everyone here. Well Done!

[BBR-APBT]

Updated:
v1.0.1 - Added integration for Farcaster's Event Attendance v3 (for vb4) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=234741)

Please mark as installed and give it a fair rating.

[Ted S]

Thanks so much for taking the time not just to upgrade this but to hunt down the rights to do so and add cross-mod support. Super job!

[BBR-APBT]

If you downloaded this since I released the update today and you have not had this installed already you need to re-download as I left out the install code after fixing for the event attendance modification.

You have no SQL tables for this modification.

[Bouncer222]

So if we have farcaster's addon , do we need this one as well? so forums works with rsvp in calendar?

or is his already upgraded to do everything this one does?

And are the events posted automatically on the forums X days prior to event?

[steven s]

You can use one or the other or both.

This modification integrates the forums and the calendar. Farcasters's is for the RSVP. If you use them both its like a marriage from heaven.

[TimberFloorAu]

You STAR

Just what we need. Tagged and will install later :up:

[steven s]

Reinstalled everything and it's working! :)
Thanks a zillion!

[Trek]

Ok, I have this and Farcaster's mod installed (working good BTW).

I have one thing though that I'd like to see added.

Thread Prefixes.

I run a gaming website and all game events are posted to a single calendar. I'd like to be able to specific which game the event is for by using thread prefixes so they are easier for people to sort/find.

Other than that, this is working great!

[Bouncer222]

But we are getting default avatar for the poster of the thread. Any idea why?
/images/misc/unknown.gif

[Bouncer222]

Found it, I clicked E multiple times to show me what option titles that there are that start with E, didn't know it starts with BBR.

Now I just need to wait for an event to come up to see it posted...

BTW, how many days before the actual event date does it post it? And is this configurable, if so where.

[Bouncer222]

Could you explain this more please...

When clicking "New Thread" in an Event Forum, it displays the "Add Event" form. This option defines which event type it should use.

Options are:
1 = "Single, All Day Event"
2 = "Ranged Event"
3 = "Recurring Event"

and..

Use template variable for Event Details

Thanks.

[TimberFloorAu]

1 = "Single, All Day Event"
2 = "Ranged Event"
3 = "Recurring Event"

1. such as a BBQ , or 1 day concert on a specific date
2. such as a camping trip from this date to that date
3. an event that happens in series, such as Billy Smarts Circus every saturday

[Rckcrwlr]

I love the concept...

I installed it. Just tried to enter an event and it sits "Loading".

Any suggestions?

Have you installed Farcasters Mod ?

[utahraves]

I think I am having alignment issues? Please see screen shots.

Regular calendar.jpg is before I enabled the feature. It is spaced out seemingly okay.

After enabling.jpg is after I enabled and it is in the event/thread section. It just doesn't look good. This is pretty much the default style.

Edit: I know there are thread alignment issues that are being fixed in 4.0.2 soooo I'm not worried about it right now... waiting for Feb 4!!!

[Rckcrwlr]

Yes I have...I updated to the 3.0.0b

/images/misc/unknown.gif

Confirmed as I'm having the same issue.

[Trek]

Ok, I thought this was working ok, but it isn't.

The event details aren't appearing. I checked in mod and it says:

When this is set to Yes you will need to use the variable $lv_vb_eventforums_eventdetails to display the Event Details block in the SHOWTHREAD template.

When this is set to No the Event Details block is inserted at the end of $navbits variable.

If you are running the default style, you can most likely leave this off. If you have heavily customised the SHOWTHREAD template, and/or the Event Details arn't showing properly, you will need to use this.However, my SHOWTHREAD isn't modified at all in either my custom style or my default style. I checked the default style anyway and it's not being displayed there either.

Also, Where in SHOWTHREAD would I put $lv_vb_eventforums_eventdetails in order to try and fix this?

[Alibass]

What happend with my avatar? Has this been answered? I am having the same issue with the images/misc/unknown.gif :confused:

[Ted S]

Is there a way to run this mod in forums yet also have them accept normal posts so they don't all show up as events?

What event details? If you are talking about the event summery it is no longer attached in this mod.

[Ted S]

It also looks like the special variable $lv_vb_eventforums_eventdetails (or {vb:raw lv_vb_eventforums_eventdetails as it is in 4.0) doesn't work right. Check of the code shows it's not being rendered into the SHOWTHREAD template.

FIX:

Find:


$lv_vb_eventforums_eventdetails = $lv_vb_eventforums_eventblock;


Add:


$templatevalues['lv_vb_eventforums_eventdetails'] = $templater->render();
vB_Template::preRegister('SHOWTHREAD', $templatevalues);

[Trek]

Sure there was... I always ran both normal threads and events. The link changed from newthread to newevent to track each.

Then I stand corrected, I never saw that option or had it working that way. =)

No there is no way to have the forum work with the calendar and with out make a separate forum.

[Ted S]

No, I am talking about having a post new thread button and a post new event button so an event forum remains a normal forum as well and let's the user decide what they want to post.

I'm refering to the part in an event thread where you would click the RSVP and such. My events are showing up as normal threads I guess.

I can create new events just fine, but they aren't displaying as much of an event.

Example SS attached.

Ohh and the other two links don't appear correctly either. Maybe an upload issue on my end, I'll try reuploading.

EDIT: Nevermind on the reupload, was only the XML, I was thinking there were other files. So, I don't know what's wrong. =)

[Ted S]

Are you sure? I was able to to get this working by simply wrapping the newthread code into a function. Seems to work fine?

I do not know what that could be a link to your site would be great if you want help. A screen shot of your settings would be good too.
It could be another mod interfering with it.

Those are not your RSVP buttons that are whited out. Those are your event controls move event delete event and event reminder.
That is something in your style vars you never set on that skin.

For you saying that not much of a event showed up what do you want for what you typed.

[Ted S]

I will not be adding that function. As I have no use for it. Event forums should be event forums. That is just one more thing to support and explain how it works.

I suppose we disagree then... The benefit I see is getting events into forums which lets people see them rather than creating a seperate list of events in a new forum. But of course it's your mod and direction.

Do you object if I post the code hacks to make this work to anyone wanting to do the same?

If you would please when you post it Post in that post that I will not support it.

It is getting hard to keep up with all the post here already. Let alone trying to support third party code in this thread.

The whole point of having an event forum, Was to have a forum/forums for your events to be posted in. Mixing event threads in with the other threads may cause a lot of issues since in an event forum this rewrites the title and also the first post is hidden and replaced with the calendar bits. Which is the whole reason I will not include it. I see it causing many issues.

I'm looking for the original functionality this modification provided which let sites bring events in with forum posts and did so in a very simple to use way.

Not an event? Nothing is added. Event? Add the calendar stuff. Your updated code still makes that all possible but I will extend it to display the right links to let people create threads vs events.

I fully respect your desire to keep this streamlined and won't post any code to your thread knowing the clutter having other features could cause.

[BBR-APBT]

I'll work on the buttons, not a big deal.

However, there's no way to RSVP to an event as in the screenshot of Farcaster's mod. So when I say nothing showed up, I mean the event is there, but none of the RSVP stuff. Maybe it's a problem with his mod I'm having? I have no idea.

Post a new event after you install his modification. The option to add the event attendance is there. His mod will not work with old events only new ones.

Whilst I can see what you and Ted are both saying.

I must side with Ted on this issue, I will explain why.

Our membership are divided into joiners and idealists.

We have members happy to post events that the "membership" can join in on, and others that are happy to join in on those and discuss them in that thread.

Hence these 2 mods work seemlessly.

But !

Big BUT. We are integrating this into heavily trafficked forums, where our "idealists" post threads suggesting events !

This now means they cannot do that, and so for that reason, we have to now duplicate our event forums.

Hope that makes sense. FWIW it does the task tremedously, and I can fully understand the issue of not supporting multiple hacks and re-jigs.

But for "moi" I would like the opportunity, for our users to "suggest" events in the normal manner, of "new thread" within same forum architecture and location.

I truly do understand what your saying I just do not plan to add that any time soon. As my site does not work like that. I have forums just for events.

I really need to get some of my other mods updated that I have released. I am a father of two boys. I have a job and I need to work on my own site too. So time is very slim. I spend every extra minute I have trying to keep these mods updated. Maybe some time in the near future I will add that option. My main focus when I rewrite/write these mods is what I need for my site. I build on for others as time permits. I just try to give back to the community when I can.

[TimberFloorAu]

Cant ask for more than that mate :up:

[Farcaster]

Post a new event after you install his modification. The option to add the event attendance is there. His mod will not work with old events only new ones.

It will work with old events, but you have to edit them first and then save them again to enable the RSVP option.

You'll never see me argue that you aren't doing a good job or that you have to add anything. Mods come second to life, and at the end of the day I thank you for doing the work you have done.

As I mentioned before you really are 90% of the way there... all that remains is supporting the links to the different features. Just drop me a PM if you ever want to see how I did the last 10%. And again thank you.

I would like to see:

Turn off this modification once go to your default calendar. You will see every thing you see now, with out the thread below it. That is the default calendar bit template.

Avatar is missing as I posted several times now. This is a vBulletin 4.0.1 bug. The offline thing is a vbulletin bug. Heck look at the post permissions below where you add the event. It says you do not have permission to do anything. LMAO That is all vBulletin bugs has nothing to do with the code from this modification. So until vBulletin fixes their bugs that is how it will be. Hopefully its in the 4.0.2 code base. I wouldn't get my hopes up if I was you. The avatars in the RSVP need to be focused at farcaster as his mod handles that. I do like the idea of a list of events that user has posted I will look and see what hooks are in the calendar bits templates.

I will always use vBulletins calendar template as the first post in a thread. First I can always blame vBulletin for any issue in that template. Second it keeps it easy to help fix problems. Saves me from writing a whole new template. I just keep praying the vBulletin staff would fix their calendar. I could report the bug and you guys could come behind me and ask them to fix it. Every time I post a bug they don't reply, They just marked as confirmed half the time and never reply. Oh yeah 80% of the time the bug never gets fixed. :erm:

[Farcaster]

I would like to see
( just my mock up )

The great thing about vBulletin is that you have the ability to go in and modify the templates. You don't need the official modifications to support the layout you are looking for. Simply customize your templates.

[TimberFloorAu]

Cheers Guys.

TBH I am sick of posting bugs on VB. They never get looked into and/or replied. The search mechanism on VB does my head in... I think the single most annoying feature ( missed off ) is the auto complete of usersnames when sending PM's lol.

No doubt thats a bug, my fault or divine intervention.

The reason I reply in posts about look and feel, is it gives you guys some ideas of what " idgits" like me would have on our wish list. Regarding template modification, I can hash stuff together and try and come up with something.

Great Mod nice to see it has been ported to 4.0 though i am having a couple of problems?

New events aren't showing up on what's new threads and i have some alignment problems:

[Rckcrwlr]

I do not know what that could be a link to your site would be great if you want help. A screen shot of your settings would be good too.
It could be another mod interfering with it.

http://www.networkhobbies.com/forumdisplay.php?268-Competitions

Here is the issue I am seeing...

When I go to the Event Forum it shows the correct permissions...when I click on New Thread to go to the Add New Event...the permissions say I can't post, reply, etc. Now I am the admin and have all rights.

I checked the setting on both the section and the calendar...and am full access.

[meissenation]

Thank you for doing the integration so quickly!

But I am having a problem - I am not seeing the attendees for the RSVP? I see the option to RSVP, but not the list of who RSVP'ed. I've RSVP'ed yes and no multiple times on the thread but it still looks like the provided screenshot - no list of attendees.

111592


Edit: Getting closer. I didn't realize that I had to update Farcaster's mod too. I downloaded Beta 3.0.0b and installed and now I can get the list to show up but instead of giving me the attendees it says Array.

[Covert-OPs_]

I followed the install instructions and entered all the settings. However when I go to create an event I get a time out error. I disabled this plugin and my events go right up. Any idea what the problem could be?

[meissenation]

I've also totally uninstalled both add-ons and reinstalled both and it still persists. It just says "Array" as the attendees.

[utahraves]

I did not edit the calendar bits at all all I do is pull the calendar bit template.
Inside of the actual calendar, there is a button for adding an event on the top right (see my screen shot)... that might mess up the alignment. -shrug-

I use http://twitterfeed.comInteresting. Thanks for the pointer. Glad to hear events are showing up there anyway. Whole can-o-worms though enabling outgoing RSS since the vb external provider doesn't allow for excluding forums. However, I think by default it doesn't include any forums guests can't see.?

Also, I can't get twitterfeed to update more than once every 30 minutes, and only up to 5 updates. Not too useful for breaking news.

[Bouncer222]

This probably hasn't been answered yet as I skimmed through the posts, sorry if it has, I have overlooked it then.

How does this addon exactly work in terms of timing? Like, how many days or hours or w/e before the event time does it post it on the forums? And how can we configure this? This is for both re-occuring events and non re-occuring events.

Thanks.

[scan-pa]

Event listings in the WGO: Those settings are in vB. I have mine set to display 14 days in advance of the events.

The thread for the event is created immediately upon posting the event in the Calendar..

That is the events that show in the stats boxes at the bottom of the forums Whats going on boxes to be exact.

oh, nooo.. ah.. I meant how do you program it so that it posts the new thread X days before the event occurs? Not show it in the WGO box.

[BBR-APBT]

oh, nooo.. ah.. I meant how do you program it so that it posts the new thread X days before the event occurs? Not show it in the WGO box.

There is no option to do so. It post the event right away when you add the event.
I do not plan to change how that works either.

[Farcaster]

oh, nooo.. ah.. I meant how do you program it so that it posts the new thread X days before the event occurs? Not show it in the WGO box.

It creates the thread immediately after the event is created and binds the two together so that if the event is deleted or updated, so is the thread.

Well I already have a couple events that were created months ago, and are you saying it only creates one thread for the lifetime of the event? I would like it to create a new thread each time the event happens and lock old event threads.

Ok so how do I make an existing event be posted on the forums?
And can you please implement the feature so that old events get locked, and new events (even if re-occuring) are posted again in the forum?

Some people are having a issue where it hangs up. Your server has a limit set. So its returning that error. The others it just hangs. I am looking to see what the problem could be. So far I can not reproduce it.

Hey man I upgraded to 1.0 no problem, but upgrading to 1.01 gives me an SQL error. I need to upgrade as I have over 50 active events at the moment and don't want to lose the assosciation. How can we get around this error?

Open the xml file and remove the install code.

That will be every thing in between the <codes> and </codes>.

[rabidkevin]

Thanks. That worked however it didn't overwrite the other version and now I have 1.0 and 1.0.1 installed. I disabled 1.0 and everything is okay but I don't want to remove 1.0 if it is going to alter the SQL data.

One other problem I am having is that only administrators can edit an event. I've triple checked the user permissions for the Registered Usergroup and they have full permission to work on the calendar, but the only option I get as a registered user is "Request Reminder for this event". Am I missing something to get nonadministrators the ability to edit/delete their events?

Go in to the old version before you remove it. In the products manager. In the drop down select edit. Go in and remove the install code and the uninstall code before you remove it.

As for the permissions problem check all your settings for the calendar and the user groups.
If you look at the attachment you will see a edit button for the event.

I see that for the Administrator account, but registered users do not have these options. I've triple checked that the calender permissions and forum persmissions are fully open for registered users.

Edit: Disabled the plugin and the edit event button appeared on the normal calendar for registered users.

[rabidkevin]

Edit: added an event and got this error the 2nd time
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/username/public_html/includes/class_dm_event.php(500) : eval()'d code on line 7


Now I am getting this error on some events that I am trying to edit for my members while they don't have access to do it themselves. So far it was a recurring event that it happened on and not a single day event.

[Bouncer222]

So it's not possible to make "a bot" or the product close the post?

[rabidkevin]

Any info on these issues? Is anyone else having the same issue with registered users not having an edit event button?

What do you not understand it makes the thread as soon as you post the event!!!!!

When you post a event it post both a thread and an event. Did we not go through this already? I am starting to not support my mods because of people like you. You can't read. Whats the problem you were told several times how this works.

I do not think I will release another mod here on vbulletin.org. People are ungrateful, They do not appreciate the work that goes in to a free mod, They do not appreciate free support. People act like I get paid to do this, The truth is I haven't got one penny for any thing.

Some people are ungrateful; however, I have benefited greatly from over 100 different mods since I've been using VB.org back at the beginning of vB3 and I have used some of your mods (Useful links, vB Event Forums, Google Analytics, and your article on vB4 conditionals) and appreciate the time spent by all of the great developers (you, Lynne, Paul M, Valter (cyb), vBDev, along with other countless developers)

I would be send money but Paypal is not happy with me (I have been working with them on restoring full access to my Paypal for months now, but their customer service and those teams are very slow)

Please don't think your work goes unappreciated. :o

[Bouncer222]

The hell no I never said it is not unappreciated. The thing is... we have a bunch of events which are re-occuring that we posted on our calendar months before installing this.

All I'm asking is how to make those events start appearing on forums WITHOUT re-adding them, and I'm sure there is a way to do this.

There is no way to tie old events into it. I told you this several times. It will only work with new events. There is two pages of you asking this same question. If you are so sure there is a way to do it then be my guest and do it for your site. I have no intentions of adding that kind of support. This only ties them together when you press submit.

Ok, I am not sure if this mod is to blame, but I am now receiving a new "vBulletin Database Error!".

When a new calendar event is created, the mod creates a new thread in a forum, as the mod is designed to do. However, the forum is moderated and new threads require approval.

When a new event is created, I receive two emails. The first is the error email (see below). And the second is the new thread notification, which is normal. Here is the error:

Bug: Admins and supermods have FULL rights to move/edit events, however, thread creaters (who had FULL access to edit their own threads because the events are always changing [raves, go figure]) as well as full abilities to edit their calendar events CANNOT edit the event. this is stressing out a lot of the promoters and I sadly just saw this. Thread creators cannot edit their own threads/event, but admins/supermods can (not sure on the "just mods", i hate them anyway)

Please help :(

Clarification: They can EDIT if they use the right URL (which they don't know) but there is no button for them to click on to edit.

Edit 3: Can go to previous calendar events that WERE created by them that don't have threads anymore (due to uninstall of previous mod and installation of new) and they can edit those.

[utahraves]

As a work around, I made it available for everyone to click EDIT EVENT but others will get errors if they attempt :P

I'm still getting this error every time someone posts an event. The mod still works, but something is causing some heartburn here.

[BBR-APBT]

Will be looking into this soon. Now that life is back to normal. We had two blizzards in three days which left us covered in 4 feet of snow. Was a big mess in which my family was more important. So just is just to let you know in the next few days I will be looking to the issues that have been reported.

I have a little bit of catching up to do on my personal site then I will start work on my mods.

I think you have moderation turned on for the usergroup.
In admincp, try turning off Enable Inline Moderation Authentication

[Jabong82]

Installed this great mod!!!

One question though, is there any way to select that only certain users are invited/able to see this event?

Basically any time someone posts an event, it is on every member's calendar. Is there anyway to set it so that maybe the event organizer can invite say only friends or certain people? Or is it pretty much if you post an event, everyone will be invited?

Great mod, and thanks again in advance.

Getting the following error. Seems like a good mod though if I can get this worked out.

If you had this installed before you will have to open the XML file and the code between the <codes> tags

[Elenna]

Installed this great mod!!!

One question though, is there any way to select that only certain users are invited/able to see this event?

Basically any time someone posts an event, it is on every member's calendar. Is there anyway to set it so that maybe the event organizer can invite say only friends or certain people? Or is it pretty much if you post an event, everyone will be invited?

Great mod, and thanks again in advance.

No, vBulletin's Calendar is made to be a site-wide calendar. To do as you want, you would need to manually create a calendar for each member, and apply permissions to each Calendar. Very laborious!

[bamaster]

I think you have moderation turned on for the usergroup.
In admincp, try turning off Enable Inline Moderation Authentication

I'll give this a shot. Thanks!

[Videx]

I just noticed we're getting the timeout errors also, but only on our second calendar(s).

Create a new calendar, say "testcalendar", and try to post an event to it. Hangs. Disable this mod, works. Maybe it's got something to do with "testcalendar" not being defined in the Calendar/Forum Map?

vb 402, Event Attendance not installed.

[claystation]

I just noticed we're getting the timeout errors also, but only on our second calendar(s).

This is exactly what's happening to my site. Its been like this ever since I installed the mod a month ago. I looked at my database to see if there were any weird characters where calendarid:forumid are located and it all looks good. I am so looking forward to getting this to work.

Maybe it's got something to do with "testcalendar" not being defined in the Calendar/Forum Map?

What does this mean? Where is this defined?

[Videx]

What does this mean? Where is this defined?In the options. I have "1:8", meaning calendar #1 (default) is linked with forum #8.

[claystation]

Oh I see, I have my other calendars defined in the options and it still get the timeout errors.

[RustyDogma]

Is there a way to run this mod in forums yet also have them accept normal posts so they don't all show up as events?

I would love this. I post events from my calendar as an admin, but on the forum they go into, I don't want users posting calendar events. Just replying to my calendar thread or creating their own.

What's working for me as a 'quick fix', is that I post a couple weeks worth of calendar events, then disable the mod, which leaves me the calendar event linked to the thread on the forum, but resets forum back to normal.

[Snug]

ok, anyway to make the date show up on the "new post" search? it only shows up in the forum.

thanks :)

edit: and also the avatars arent showing up

Turn off this modification once go to your default calendar. You will see every thing you see now, with out the thread below it. That is the default calendar bit template.

Avatar is missing as I posted several times now. This is a vBulletin 4.0.1 bug. The offline thing is a vbulletin bug. Heck look at the post permissions below where you add the event. It says you do not have permission to do anything. LMAO That is all vBulletin bugs has nothing to do with the code from this modification. So until vBulletin fixes their bugs that is how it will be. Hopefully its in the 4.0.2 code base. I wouldn't get my hopes up if I was you. The avatars in the RSVP need to be focused at farcaster as his mod handles that. I do like the idea of a list of events that user has posted I will look and see what hooks are in the calendar bits templates.

I will always use vBulletins calendar template as the first post in a thread. First I can always blame vBulletin for any issue in that template. Second it keeps it easy to help fix problems. Saves me from writing a whole new template. I just keep praying the vBulletin staff would fix their calendar. I could report the bug and you guys could come behind me and ask them to fix it. Every time I post a bug they don't reply, They just marked as confirmed half the time and never reply. Oh yeah 80% of the time the bug never gets fixed. :erm:

I have found in 4.0.2 regarding the avatar bug that if you remove '//' in front of both code lines the avatar will work in your post.
//$avatar = fetch_avatar_url($eventinfo['userid']);
//$eventinfo['avatarurl'] = $avatar[0];

I am having problems with the mod when I try to create an event I get this: Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, support@supportwebsite.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Mate this mod only has one file, the xml file. Open it and find the two lines and remove the // and re-upload the product again with an overwrite.

[BBR-APBT]

For the users that have a problem with the page hanging up do you have the event attendance mod installed I can not seem to reproduce the error.

Can you also screen shot me your settings for this mod. I have fixed a few minor things.
For the people having any kind of issue please let me know now so I can post a update in a few days.

I was under the impression the bug was with vbulletin not the mod. :| Removing those lines from the mod's xml file does indeed fix displaying the avatar.

Here is some info on a site in which the mod is hanging up
hanging up

no attendence mod installed

here is my admincp pic 113304

here is a link to the first calendar/event listed in the admin, it works

here is a link to the second calendar/event listed in the admin, it hangs up as well as the others.

Thanks for looking into this.

[BBR-APBT]

Ok so it seems it happens when there is more then one calendar id. Will look into it more.

Others that had the hanging issue do you have a single calendar or multiple calendars?

[Videx]

Others that had the hanging issue do you have a single calendar or multiple calendars?We have 2 calendars, and only the second one hangs. And a third one, if I create a third "test calendar".

Ok now that I pin pointed the problem I have to figure out how to fix it.

[NFLfbJunkie]

Would it be possible to prevent posting to an event thread after the event has ended?

I had two calendars but the first one was still timing out and giving my database error I previously mentioned.

I deleted my second calendar and the error remained.

I turned off moderation in the Calendar Manager (for my one remaining calendar) and now it is working.

I just experienced same error, If I have moderation on for either the forum or the calendar or both it gives me a dbase error.
Maybe its a fix for this? cause I would love to use this mod but I would need to moderate the threads.

Haha I thought i was the ONLY one with this.
I can post to my first calendar and the event is created. If I try my second one, it hangs profusely. I just reinstalled my whole board to find this out.

[ChangeFive]

Just wanted to check to see if any progress was made with multiple calendars. Would love to start using this on my forum!

[BBR-APBT]

I been looking into it and can't figure out what is causing it.

Still looking if anyone has any ideas I am open to hear them.

[Front Range 4x4]

Thanks for the work on this BBR, I like it but have one issue that makes me reluctant to use it. I use custom fields on my calendar for things such as meeting place, time, directions which don't show on the new thread that's created. I realize my use may be different from 99% of users but am curious if there's a way to make custom calendar fields show up too?

[claystation]

If the calendars had rss feeds, which unfortunately they don't, you could just send a rss feed to each individual calendar forum category. I'm not sure why I am even posting this since you can't do it, unless somebody knows how to create a rss feed, for the calendar system.

I will look into that as I think it should be able to handle custom fields.

Well it will not be a rss feed for the calendar but you could use the rss feed from the forum that all the calendars are posted to using this mod.

I appreciate your time, it would be great if custom fields showed in the post section. I'll patiently wait. ;)

[Lqd]

Very nice plugin! It would be a great addition if we could promote an event to an article as well! :-) Let me know or that is an easy thing to do!

[utahraves]

I don't know if I have said this or not, but only my admins and supermods can edit event threads. People that create their own calendar events cannot edit the events at all. I had to rewrite the style to allow the edit button to show up for EVERY user just so they can edit their own calendar events.

[NFLfbJunkie]

Would it be possible to prevent posting to an event thread after the event has ended?

So is this a possibility for this MOD?

Hmmm very interesting I can not find seem to find the problem in this mod. So maybe its something to do with VB its self. I will install a fresh copy soon and test it with out this mod. If that is the case we have to start a bug on vb.com. I never tried it with out this mod installed so it may not even be this mod.

[SamirDarji]

Wow, a lot has happened for this mod in the last few months. Kudos to BBR-APBT for continuing to make this mod a reality. I have no current plans to migrate to the 4.0 platform, but when I do, it's great to know that this mod will be there.

[claystation]

Does this mod work for anyone with two or more calendars? Or is it timing out for just some of us that have two or more calendars?

[SamirDarji]

Does this mod work for anyone with two or more calendars? Or is it timing out for just some of us that have two or more calendars?The one for vb 3.8x did, so I would think so. But I'd let someone answer that is actually running the 4.0 version.

[CThiessen]

Hi,
In vB4 I do have the same problem only the fist one is running.

Christian

[karkey]

Hello i have this mod installed on latest Vb and its running fine for us, cannot find any issue atm


Edit

Sorry i read this properly its about how many calenders you have not how many events you have running

[SamirDarji]

Hi,

ChristianI'm not sure if you're trying to do this, but I'll post anyways. It is not possible to map more than one calendar or forum to the other or vice versa. For example, two calendars to one forum won't work, and two forums to one calendar won't work. Everything must be a 1:1 relation.

[rabidkevin]

I'm about to revert my forum 2months back to 3.8.. I never realized it but my entire forum is based around these event forums working. I have lost over 50% of my active users during this period.

To anyone running more than 1 calendar on your site, DO NOT INSTALL THIS MOD UNTIL IT ACTUALLY WORKS.

There is one answer!!!

I also asked if someone would try to use default vbulletin with more then one calendar to see if that works with out this mod. But no one even did that. Why should I work on a mod when it works fine for me and no one wants to help with the issue. I do all the work for free and go out of my way for what reason? Someone can test what I asked I do not have the time to install another copy of vbulletin and do all the testing.

Fair enough, but you might want to remove the "Supported" flag, or at the very least, post something in the first post to let people know.

[SamirDarji]

I'm about to revert my forum 2months back to 3.8.. I never realized it but my entire forum is based around these event forums working. I have lost over 50% of my active users during this period.To be fair, you can't really blame the mod creator for this. If he didn't even try to port this to 4.0, would you have even upgraded to 4.0?

The mods here, even when supported, should be thoroughly tested on a test site before deployment into a production environment. There are all sorts of quirks on even the best mods, and a test environment is the only place where you can evaluate how this will affect your site. My users sometimes complain because I'm slow to add new features. But they never get mad about something breaking or not working.

[Elenna]

It does state that this mod is in Beta stage. IMHO, a Beta mod should never be installed on a Live board, unless you are absolutely sure that you have tested it thoroughly in a testing environment.

[BBR-APBT]

Fair enough, but you might want to remove the "Supported" flag, or at the very least, post something in the first post to let people know.

It is supported why should I remove it. If I remove the supported tag it will never be upgraded. I am willing to upgrade it as soon as I find the problem. How ever I can not find the issue. My site only runs on one calendar so it runs perfect for me. How ever I am willing to fix the issue with multiple calendars. I just need to find and fix the error. Which I can not find at this current point. I know what the error is and what is causing it just can't find a proper fix which does not cause more errors.

It also says beta which means it may not work fully to your expectations and it may have bugs. Let alone its hard to work on things for vb4 since they keep making changes. I expect more issues with further upgrades of vb4. That is another reason I am not rushing to fix all my mods all these patches and vb4 versions it always breaks things.

[is_it_me]

I installed this a couple of days ago on my test site (only one calendar tested) and it seemed to work fine, but when I installed it on my live site I found these problems:

1 - My usergroup 'registered users', who require their events to be moderated, get a database error when trying to post an event - oddly a thread appears awaiting moderation, but no event appears in the calendar.

I know this has been mentioned, but I don?t remember seeing an answer.

2 - My un-moderated usergroup 'Event organisers' can no longer edit their posted events, despite the permissions being set correctly - only admin/mods can.

It looks like utahraves has found a work around for this....

I don't know if I have said this or not, but only my admins and supermods can edit event threads. People that create their own calendar events cannot edit the events at all. I had to rewrite the style to allow the edit button to show up for EVERY user just so they can edit their own calendar events.

.... any chance to explaining how this is done for a newbie like me?

3 - It only works for the first calendar/forum set-up, but doesn't work for any others added it just hangs when you try to post, before returning a totally blank white page.

I have 9 different event calendars and I tried various combinations, always only trying to hook-up one calendar to one forum, but only the first one in the list works.

I am new to all this, before I installed vb4.02 about four weeks ago, I had only ever had a basic vb3 site, whereas I?ve gone hack and mod happy the last few weeks as well as learning a bit about vb4 & CMS, i.e. no web-build or coding experience at all!

Now I?ve switched to a totally new default vb style, and disabled all products, which is what I assume you mean here or is there anything more I would need to do?

However, the three above problems are still there. :(

I have at least one or two of your other mods installed and I am very grateful to you for sharing them, but this would be the icing on the cake for the type of site I am developing, so let me know if there's anything I could do to help, although bear in mind I haven't much of a clue of what I am doing.

What I can promise is if you can solve these problems, I would be happy to donate towards a few drinks on me. :)

[SamirDarji]

I installed this a couple of days ago on my test site (only one calendar tested) and it seemed to work fine, but when I installed it on my live site I found these problems.When installing on a test site, try to have the test site as closely mirror your live site as possible--usergroups, permissions, etc. This way you can fully test on the test site and run into problems there versus your live one.1 - My usergroup 'registered users', who require their events to be moderated, get a database error when trying to post an event - oddly a thread appears awaiting moderation, but no event appears in the calendar.

I know this has been mentioned, but I don?t remember seeing an answer.I remember this on the original mod. I had to disable all moderation for threads or calendar events. There was no way for me to get around that.2 - My un-moderated usergroup 'Event organisers' can no longer edit their posted events, despite the permissions being set correctly - only admin/mods can.Check permissions on both your calendars and threads. Because there are two different permissions being checked, this is one of the issues you can run across.
It looks like utahraves has found a work around for this....If this workaround is the only thing needed to make it work, then it's a simple style issue where the button isn't being shown based on permissions. You'd have to edit the style sheet, which is just html, to show the button to your group. You'll have to figure out some html coding for this, but it's not too hard. A lot of times, something else in the style sheet can be 'borrowed' and changed to suit what you need.

Check out the vb documentation on Style Manager to learn how to edit the individual templates.

Changing the default vb with mods is great, but you almost certainly will run into an issue at some point. But that being said, once you learn about the innerds of vb, you may even be bold enough to make your own mods. :)

[Mutt]

thanks for working on this. always love this mod.

i edited template FORUMDISPLAY to change the text "Post new Thread" to "Add new Event"

in 2 places i changed
{vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}

to
<vb:if condition="$foruminfo[forumid] == 13">{vb:rawphrase add_new_event}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</vb:if>

13 is my calendar forum id. if you have more than 1 calendar forum you could change it to <vb:if condition="in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(13,14,15))">

problem is it's not recognizing "rawphrase add_new_event". i'm brand new to vb4 so i don't know how to load the var. little help?

[Verionia]

Ok so it seems it happens when there is more then one calendar id. Will look into it more.

Others that had the hanging issue do you have a single calendar or multiple calendars?

I have 3 calendars

[claystation]

You have three and they all work?

[Verionia]

I have three but this mod doesn't work with one of them

[MrBlaQ]

Both my Calendar permissions and forum permissions allow original posters to edit their event-forum posts. Yet, no edit button is displayed. Only Admins can edit events at this point.

The problem is at line #256:

change
for($lv_vb_eventforums_i = 0; $lv_vb_eventforums_i<count($lv_vb_eventforums_map); $lv_vb_eventforums_i+2)

with

for($lv_vb_eventforums_i = 0; $lv_vb_eventforums_i<count($lv_vb_eventforums_map); $lv_vb_eventforums_i+=2)

This fixes the issue when inserting a new event in case of more than one calendar. There might be other issues as I haven't run a deep test yet.

[CThiessen]

Hi,
thanks for that.
works fin on my test Forum with vB 4.0.3

Christian

[Videx]

Yes, after adding that = sign I can now use my second calendar (402pl4). Thanks! Instead of editing the .xml I just edited the plugin "when saving an event, create or update the associated thread" - add the = sign as shown right near the beginning.

[pete_brady]

thanks for that fix!

[claystation]

Works great, 11 Calendars!

[is_it_me]

WOW - this sounds like good news - I'll give it try this afternoon on my 8 Calendars. :)

[Richard Evans]

When posting a event, if the event happens over a range of dates, I have to enter starting and ending times. Also, when displaying the events, the starting and ending times appear.

In my application, having to enter starting and ending times are not desirable. I have to make up times, when posting and event using the range tab because the application forces the starting and ending time entry. Then the made up starting and ending times show up in the event listing.
Is there anyway to eliminate starting and ending times from the events? I see I can remove the variable $DATETIME, but then the Date does not appear either. If there were a $DATE variable, that only returned the date, then at least the listing would not show the starting and ending time values.

Is there a way I can change this?

Thanks for the great Mod!

[steven s]

Not sure if this problem is related to this mod or Farcaster's Event Attendance v3 (for vb4).

I can add threads that are associated with a calendar, but shouldn't I be able to simply post a thread too?

[cory_booth]

Deleted - wrong mod

[Videx]

Both my Calendar permissions and forum permissions allow original posters to edit their event-forum posts. Yet, no edit button is displayed. Only Admins can edit events at this point.Yes, we've been so hung up on the multiple calendar issue it's time to fix the other two. Specifically:
Users cannot edit or delete calendar events
OP's avatars not showingI have confirmed both. On the line below the post for an admin, you see "Move Event, Edit Event, & Request Reminder for this Event". But regular users only see "Request Reminder for this Event". Calendar Permissions are set use "use default perms", and default usergroup calendar perms are all set to "on" (users can edit and delete own events).

[Tony_FPM]

Installed a little time ago but now i am walking against a problem.

When i have alot of event (Cutoff at 5) and you go via the calender to that day then all the events are nicely under eachother but i can't reply to one of those events and there is also no link in each event that goes to the forum thread.

Am i doing something wrong in the settings ?

[rootrider]

I'm having trouble with users in the default 'registered users' group, using default usergroup and forum permissions, are unable to create a new event. Admins and Super Moderators can do this with no issue, but when a registered user attempts to add a new event I receive I database error email, and the new thread goes into 'moderated' status. The new thread is not linked to the calendar event and the RVSP add-on also isn't shown in new thread either.

The DB error I am receiving is as follows:
Database error in vBulletin 4.0.2:

Invalid SQL:

DELETE FROM vb_moderation

Any thoughts?

[rootrider]

I remember this on the original mod. I had to disable all moderation for threads or calendar events. There was no way for me to get around that.

I must really be missing something.. I've checked every set of permissions I can think of and have been going around resetting permissions on forums and usergroups and still can't get this to work :(

[rootrider]

Well.. I finally found one more place where moderation was set (by editing the calendar itself.. not just the calendar permissions). I swear.. there are way too many places for permissions to be set in VB. Anyway, it's working now. Sorry for the spam.

Thanks for this mod... it's exactly what I was looking for when I first switched to VB.

The integration works nicely with the "default" calendar... Any secondary calendar however errors out when trying to make an event.

It seems to time out on different lines...

One is supposed to read through ALL the pages of a mod before installing. The solution is at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2019855&postcount=206 .

Two puzzling things though. One, why hasn't the first post been updated with this info yet? And two, who is this guy anyway with one post that managed to figure out the problem when nobody else could? Is he available for hire?

[Sascha Henken]

The problem is at line #256:

change
for($lv_vb_eventforums_i = 0; $lv_vb_eventforums_i<count($lv_vb_eventforums_map); $lv_vb_eventforums_i+2)

with

for($lv_vb_eventforums_i = 0; $lv_vb_eventforums_i<count($lv_vb_eventforums_map); $lv_vb_eventforums_i+=2)

This fixes the issue when inserting a new event in case of more than one calendar. There might be other issues as I haven't run a deep test yet.

Thank you very much Burney :)

This small fix made it possible that I now can use multiple calendars. Before this fix I was only able to use 1 calendar mapped to 1 forum only. :)

Can I please ask a question? I installed this and it works perfectly (thanks heaps) but I was hoping to change something.

As the event thread title format, the default info is '%title%custom: %datetime'. How can I have it so that the '%custom' fields also appear inside the thread with the event description? I have additional custom fields such as 'address' and 'host' and i need this info displayed clearly inside the thread...

Cheers!

Anyone?

Doesn't look like it'll be easy. I asked this a long time ago.

[Videx]

Ya, there are still a few real bugs (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2028183&postcount=215) that need to be fixed before we start adding features.

[asuccar]

Surely this can't be a difficult thing for a semi-decent programmer:) Which am far from being:)

[Front Range]

Probably not but considering the demands, expectations and criticism some people put on the good people giving away their work I don't see it happening.

[Videx]

I think a much bigger factor right now is the lack of documentation, and the changing nature of early vb4 versions. Even the best programmer can't spend six months analyzing vb code only to find it changes with the next update. It will all settle down eventually.

[Michlerish]

Had to uninstall due to thread title issue.

But I REALLY want this mod, I think it's fantastic and exactly what I need for my events forum! Tagged mod for when titles are customizable :)

Thanks!

[COL NIL SATIS]

Gonna add this tomorrow ....!!! tagged

Nevermind found the fix and I am trying that.

Does this work for vb 3.8.5 by any chance?

[Videx]

Does this work for vb 3.8.5 by any chance?There's been a vb3 version for ages. And it always worked fine. It's over in the vb3 mods area I guess.

The bigger question today is if it still works with 4.04, and are any of the core issues maybe fixed?

Does not work with vb4.0.4, it just causes a timeout when trying to post an event. I have had to disable this mod, so people can still post in the event forums...

Still working for me.

hmmm I have tried adjusting the settings, and I just cannot get it working since I upgraded to 4.0.4, glad it is still working for other though.

yep, I even uninstalled & reinstalled this mod
I get this

Yes, but not with event attendance integrated and without that it isn't useful to me. Mind that Farcasters 3.5 and 3.6 hacks do not work on 3.8. I have followed these hacks closely for the last 4 years.

I have followed these hacks closely for the last 4 years.I know I had event attendance installed for a while in vb3.something. But we could never get anyone to use it. People around here just don't like to commit.

[lowfd]

Yes, we've been so hung up on the multiple calendar issue it's time to fix the other two. Specifically:
Users cannot edit or delete calendar events
OP's avatars not showingI have confirmed both. On the line below the post for an admin, you see "Move Event, Edit Event, & Request Reminder for this Event". But regular users only see "Request Reminder for this Event". Calendar Permissions are set use "use default perms", and default usergroup calendar perms are all set to "on" (users can edit and delete own events).

I've also got this problem on my board. My events person can post up event threads fine but cannot edit them... his usergroup settings and calendar settings are turned on.. checked multiple times. But still no "edit".

[Eruantien]

I'm getting the following error...

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE `event` ADD `lv_vb_eventforums_threadid` INT;

MySQL Error : Duplicate column name 'lv_vb_eventforums_threadid'
Error Number : 1060

[rabidkevin]

In the previous version of Event forums you could set 1 forum to be able to handle events as well as normal threads. Is this still possible?

Also is there any way to automatically set a thread prefix on to a new event automatically? How much code would need to be changed to do this?

[Gun Geek]

I am getting no avatars and, it would be nice to be able to post polls with this as well. Just incase we want to use a poll for attendance while the other mod is in beta.

[SpikeyWelsh]

is there a way to have BBR - vB Event Forums have some thing like Farcaster's Event Attendance where you could click on attend on the thred this will be a nice add on for it as you would be able to see who is comming to the event would anyone else this this would be a nice mod

[Front Range]

It works with Farcaster's Event Attendance as mentioned in this thread.
