Calendar Event Notification (by email)

[JJR512]

This hack will send you an email notice whenever someone posts a public event onto your message board's calendar. It can be optionally configured to send you a notice for both public and private events (if you're particularly snoopy!).

This hack is very simple and only a small amount of new code to one file, and one new template. No database mods, no template mods, etc. :)

Woohoo! I just noticed that posting this graduated me from a "Master Hacker" into an "Ultimate Hacker"! :)

Thanks for this hack - just what I was looking for. Working well on 2.2.6! :)

Uhm, I was hoping this would let me receive an E-mail when a public/private event was happening that day for the admin :)

New email: 3 new events today!
(i.e.)

[Admin]

Umm, what's the point of this? :confused:
$subject = $subject;

I have no idea. Where did you find it? It's not in my instructions to add that anywhere, nor does that exist anywhere in calendar.php, so I'm not quite sure why you're asking me. :confused:

Just messing with ya. ;) Don't worry. :)

Oh, like the $error = $error thing? ;)

i know this is old now, but it would be cool if you could define by the template if it's a public or a private event that has been posted.

still great.

VALUES ('$bbuserinfo[userid]', '$message', '$date', $public, '$subject', $allowsmilies)");
$eventid = $DB_site->insert_id();

if ($public) {
eval("\$noticemessage = \"".gettemplate("email_newcalevent",1,0)."\";");
mail($webmasteremail,"New $bbtitle Calendar Event Notification",$noticemessage,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");
}

eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_calendaraddevent")."\",\"calendar.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&eventid=$eventid\");");
