Calendar Help

[jrwap]

First let me say that my vb has been hacked to allow the use of multiple usergroups in the calendar. Each usergroup has been named new1, new2, new3, .... , new9, and new10. The site uses a small hack that was part of vbportals that displays the current days events on the main page. Now, I want to be able to display the days events listed by usergroup. I can't seem to get it right without a MySQL error. Can anyone help?

Here is the original code which displays the public events:

// Display Today's Event's //
if ($showevents){
$events=$DB_site->query("SELECT eventid, subject, eventdate, public
FROM calendar_events
WHERE eventdate
LIKE '%-$today' AND ((userid = '$bbuserinfo[userid]' AND public = 0) OR (public = 1))");
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($events);
if ($num_rows < 1) {
$P_noevents = "None Found";
eval ("\$todaysevents .= \"".gettemplate("P_todaysevents")."\";");
}else{
while ($event = $DB_site->fetch_array($events)) {
$P_eventsubject = htmlspecialchars($event[subject]);
$P_eventid = $event[eventid];
eval ("\$todaysevents .= \"".gettemplate("P_todaysevents")."\";");
}
}
$eventtitle="Today's Events";
}else{
$eventtitle="";
}
eval("\$P_calendar .= \"".gettemplate('P_calendar')."\";");
}

I tried with this, but it gives me an error:
// Display Today's Event's //
if ($showevents){
$events=$DB_site->query("SELECT eventid, subject, eventdate, public, event_type
FROM calendar_events
WHERE eventdate
LIKE '%-$today' AND ((userid = '$bbuserinfo[userid]' AND public = 0) OR (public = 1))");
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($events);
while ($event = $DB_site->fetch_array($events)) {

if ($event[event_type] == 'new3'){
if ($num_rows < 1) {
$P_noevents = "None Found";
eval ("\$todaysevents .= \"".gettemplate("P_todaysevents")."\";");
}else{
$P_eventsubject3 = htmlspecialchars($event[subject]);
$P_eventid = $event[eventid];
eval ("\$todaysevents .= \"".gettemplate("P_todaysevents")."\";");
}


if ($event[event_type] == 'new4'){
if ($num_rows < 1) {
$P_noevents = "None Found";
eval ("\$todaysevents .= \"".gettemplate("P_todaysevents")."\";");
}else{
// while ($event = $DB_site->fetch_array($events)) {
$P_eventsubject4 = htmlspecialchars($event[subject]);
$P_eventid = $event[eventid];
eval ("\$todaysevents .= \"".gettemplate("P_todaysevents")."\";");
}
}
$eventtitle="Today's Events";
}else{
$eventtitle="";
}
eval("\$P_calendar .= \"".gettemplate('P_calendar')."\";");
}
Can anyone please help me through this.... I don't know MySQL well enough.

Thanks,

I haven't read your code yet... but I saw you said it gives you an error... Can you post the error? that would help

Ok, I probably should have posted the error to begin with.

Database error in vBulletin 2.2.1:

Invalid SQL: SELECT startdate,enddate,title,pagetext

I get the same error no matter what I change... Hopefully someone is smart enough to figure out what I'm trying to do.

You have no value after forumid=
You should use quotes around your value, then if it's null, you won't get an error.

I know thats what the error says, but it only happens when the code that I posted is modified. The original code is posted first and it work, but it only posts public events. I want to post events by other usergroups....

I don't know what's causing the error. You should look over your code more closely, you have some errors in your logic.

You have:
if ($num_rows < 1) {
nested inside:
while ($event = $DB_site->fetch_array($events)) {

That's no good.

Ok, so how should I do this... hopefully you get a feeling about what Im trying to do. I just don't know exactly how to do it...

Well

1) You dont explain clearly what is your prime objective of editing the script
2) You seem to not know scripting very well, like you were using a corrupted phplearn book.

Anyway just try surfing around and asking here, and try not to hack until you get a little better, no offense if your good, im no superstar myself, trust me ;)
