Calendar Search and Comments for Events [Archive]

06-24-2005, 10:00 PM

Calendar Search and Comment For Events is now available as a product. And of course, it is now fully phrased, templates cached

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
UPGRADING
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you were using the old Comments For Events (Downloaded before today 10/20/2005),
delete 2 plugin: "Comments for Events" and "Comments for Events - Show Comments".

Then import the XML file.
-----------------------------------------------------------

If you downloaded this hack before 10/22/2005, please download it again to fix the vbulletin options. For installed boards, just reimport the xml file.

This is an old hack I port to vb3.5. Please refer this thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=78210) for more information

No file editing, only one template edit, import the product and you're done !.

This is a beta release so there are known issues.

+ Cannot get value from WYSIWYG editor, hence I disabled the WYSIWYG when posting comment either by quick reply or new reply.

if someone can fix I'll be very glad.

Any suggestions are welcome.

*done for my first 3.5 hack*

Thanks

a new posts link would be the option this hack is lacking from its predecessor vB 3.x

it is installed via the installer, are you missing it in your ACP after you install this ?

can this release be updated ?!

deathemperor

09-07-2005, 12:59 AM

it was coded for beta 2, I didn't upgrade it to be fully phrased. Sorry everyone I am busy at school and some projects I'm taking, I wil absolutely upgrade this hack, perhaps we should just wait for the Gold 3.5.

Thanks for your understanding.

nexialys

09-07-2005, 05:10 PM

Thanks for your understanding.
yeah, i understand it completely, i knew it was not a final version...

i will report to you what is not done actually:

1- you did not use the proper $vbulletin->GPC[] structure for the globalised inputs... so it's impossible this script was tested for 3.5... look: // get values in this way it's faster and more secure using vb fuction globalsize()
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p',array(
'keyword' => TYPE_NOHTML,
'searchfor' => TYPE_NOHTML,
'searchdate' => TYPE_NOHTML,
'_order' => TYPE_NOHTML,
'orderby' => TYPE_NOHTML,
'beforeafter' => TYPE_NOHTML
));
// if string search is too short (less than 3 char)
if (strlen($keyword) < 3)
{
eval(print_standard_error('searchnametooshort'));
}the "if (strlen($keyword) < 3)" will never find its content, as we need to use "$vbulletin->GPC['keyword']" instead... and this is it abroad your script actually... some changes are to be planned.. ;)

EDIT: for the calendar_quickreply, it's not compatible with the new editor, so half the features are not working... will have to be fixed!

for the others, just phrases, but actually it's not a problem i think... just the permissions sentences are needed.

and if you have time, i don't think it would be useful to wait 'til 3.5 Gold, your code use the minimum of vB codes actually, it will be easy to integrate in the final...

Bojangles

09-13-2005, 07:42 AM

Installed and but found out the phrases were not installed, so it won't work (like other people have posted). If anyone can get this working, it'd be really awesome.

noww i get a error when editing usergroups how can i drop
'eventcommentpermission' in 'field list'

deathemperor

09-16-2005, 09:01 AM

to drop it you should know SQL language then open MySQL server -> table usergroup -> drop field eventcomment permission

10-03-2005, 03:08 AM

Oh man, I didn't know you ported this over or I would've went with 3.5 RC for a new site. crap. LOL

Anyone using this on gold yet?

deathemperor

10-03-2005, 03:12 AM

I think it won't work for gold, I'll spend sometimes modify this as a product so that everything will be better.

I am not able to edit any usergroups because I am getting the error a few posts above. The fix you have here does not work, because there is nothing in the usergroup table that has anything to do with eventcomment, or named eventcomment.

EDIT: I realised I had to delete the bitfield XML and rebuild the bitfields. ;)

Hey thanks for the update! I also had the issues with uninstall mentioned above... When I try to reply though I get this error.

hello,

I am too getting this error :

Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /calendar.php(131) : eval()'d code on line 413

Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/var/www/forum./includes/functions_newpost.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/forum/calendar.php(131) : eval()'d code on line 413

After a fresh install, I have setup the perms and tried creating an event and replying to it.

Darkmeteor

10-25-2005, 01:55 PM

and I fixed the error :)

in the 2 modules there are some requires which looks like this :

require_once(DIR . './includes/whatever.php');

couldn't work since it was looking in /var/www/forum./includes/whatever.php (as written in the fatal error)

so I made it look like this

require_once(DIR . '/includes/whatever.php');

and it works fine now.

for your information there are 5 occurence of this bug in the comments module and 1 in the show comments module

Thanks Darkmeteor for the point out, zip file updated, please download it and import choose replacing.

No longer getting that error - but BB Codes are not being parsed in the event comment sigs. Also, the editor does not appear as elsewhere in the site.

Screenshots attached.

Thanks for the continued support of this hack, great to have it running. :)

I used the other version of this when I was running v3.0.8 and it was fine.

However, I have upgraded to v3.5.1 now.

I do not have any Evecom permissions settings anywhere, and everyone gets permission denied when trying to post to calendar events.

When I edit usergroups, I have nothing for setting Evecom permissions.

I have already done the admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields -- that did not help.

What should I do?

Thanks!

KrisJacobs

11-17-2005, 10:54 PM

I have messed around with the install, uninstall stuff, manually done the sql adds/drops, etc. myself via my MySQL utility, all no go.

Permissions settings never show up in my Admin CP when I goto Usergroup Manager and choose to edit a Usergroup.

KrisJacobs

11-17-2005, 11:00 PM

LOL!

On line 51 of your XML file, the "R" is missing off the word "require"

it says

$db->query_write("
DROP TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "eventcomments`
");

equire_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bitfield_builder.php');
vB_Bitfield_Builder::save($db);]]></uninstallcode>
</code>
</codes>

I wonder if that is causing the problem?

I am also setting absolute paths to class_bitfield_builder.php

require_once('http://www.hordelandsecurity.org/forums/includes/class_bitfield_builder.php');

My fingers are crossed... :)

There are alot of problems and the creator hasnt had time to fix the bugs. I recommend finding another solution and not wasting your time with this unless you have some programming knowledge.

Good luck i just wanted to save you guys some time since i installed it and found out its been 6 months and no updates. Once the creator has time to fix the known issues this should be a great addition to any site.

If you were using the old Comments For Events (Downloaded before today 10/20/2005),
delete 2 plugin: "Comments for Events" and "Comments for Events - Show Comments".

But I don't understand the instructions: delete 2 plugin "Comments for Events" and "Comments for Events - Show Comments".

ALSO, can you only post a comment ONCE for an event? seems a bit silly.

banjolawyer

03-31-2006, 03:09 PM

When entering an event through the calendar.. "add single day event," you only have to plug in a starting date.

However, when entering an event in the forum that the calendar is tied to, you are required to put in a start and end date and start and end time.

I'd really like it if users only had to put info in the first way (ie, only have to put in a start date, and no times).

Has anyone has modified their installation to accomplish this?

Hey guys just thought I'd post that this is working fine for me on 3.5.4. I previously pointed out the editor looked different in another post, but since realised this was stated as a bug in the first post. ;) So the only remaining issues I am aware of on 3.5.4 is that is does not parse BB code or smilies and the search seems to give errors generated from out date function calls.

Works great besides. :)

But on another note, I have recently installed this hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=102213) which is a fully working and more feature rich version. Check it out. No search included, but that doesn't work on this hack at present anyway.

I had trouble uninstalling this, each query failed and had to edit them all out of the product, although this may well be due to an error with my setup! :)
