Note: This plugin has been discontinued and taken over here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=102213). Installing this plugin is *not* recommended.
The plugin creates a tight integration between a calendar and a forum.
When an event is created in a calendar, a corresponding thread is created in its forum.
When an event is deleted, its thread is deleted.
When a thread is deleted, its event is deleted.
When an event is edited, its thread is edited.
When a thread is edited via quick edit, its event is edited.
Links to event details are redirected to the thread.
New post links in event forums are redirected to new event forms, except for moderators.
Advanced editing on a thread is redirected to event edit.
To set up your calendar/forum pairs, look under "Event Forums" in "vBulletin Options" in admincp.
There is also one template change. In calendar_showeventsbit, change:
<td class="tcat">$eventinfo[title]</td>
to:
<td class="tcat"><if condition="$eventinfo[nwt_threadid]"><a href="showthread.php?t=$eventinfo[nwt_threadid]"></if>$eventinfo[title]<if condition="$eventinfo[nwt_threadid]"></a></if></td>
I run a forum at http://nwtekno.org/ that is heavily oriented to calendar data, so this is useful to me, though I'm not sure how useful it will be to others. Mostly I'm putting this up for critique by people who know more than me.
One thing I'm wondering is how to get the included template (nwteventforums_calendar_showeventsbit) to replace calendar_showeventsbit when installed. Or should I just tell people to copy/paste from one to another?

wow, I think this is a very useful/cool idea.
are the thread/event deletion features optional?
I'd like the ability for something like this to read data from a specified forum and then create a calender event from the data it gathers. Or maybe in post options or something under a post there can be a box to include/scan/add this post to the calender. (if the scan is too much, maybe just a popup box like w/ attachments and the user can put the needed calender info into that box.)

Updated to support table prefixes on installation.
The product can be configured under "Event Forums" in "vBulletin Options" in the admincp.
Note that I've only tested this on my dev box. It shouldn't cause any damage, but let me know if you notice problems.

Just a couple of questions. Can it only post to one forum?
I have a lot of events on my board too, but these events have their own forums. So it would be nice to put calendar events in their own forums.
Also, what happens if I move a thread? Sometimes I will move threads to a hidden forum called trash, will this delete the event from the calendar?

Just a couple of questions. Can it only post to one forum?It creates a mapping between calendars and forums. So on my setup I have an "all ages events" calendar, a "club nights" calendar, and corresponding forums. You could have as many of these pairs as you want.
Also, what happens if I move a thread? Sometimes I will move threads to a hidden forum called trash, will this delete the event from the calendar?The event would still be on the calendar. It would link to its position in the new forum, but since it's hidden the user would likely get a permissions error.

I really like this, and I'm not trying to play down your release with these points...
It could do with having some content from the threads in the actual event, and perhaps a few comments underneath, with a link then leading on to the thread.
The thread also, does not contain the actual date of the event unless the user posts it - something few of my users rarely do as they rely on the calendar's date selection.
Excellent work, thanks a lot!
I also started putting some thought into how we could integrate a little of Kirby's hack here [www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=93074] to allow the date range of the event to be added in a field of the thread, and allow the forum to be sorted then in order of upcoming event.
A calendar search would also come in handy, such as in this hack [www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=91066] - that one also allows comments, not the same as what you're doing here - but it could open up some idea of how to include the thread comments on the calendar page.
I'm really loving how this is looking! :)

Yes you can. I've seen that error a couple times. If you post a new event, inline mod should work fine.
For others having database errors, follow these instructions.
First thing I would suggest is verify your table prefix in /forum/includes/config.php then run these queries one at a time -
replace [prefix] with yours
(coded so the pirates can't get it. lol)
ALTER TABLE `[prefix]event` ADD `nwt_threadid` INT
ALTER TABLE `[prefix]event` ADD INDEX (`nwt_threadid`)
ALTER TABLE `[prefix]thread` ADD `nwt_eventid` INT
ALTER TABLE `[prefix]thread` ADD INDEX (`nwt_eventid`)

The "Invalid thread specified" occurs if the event/post length is too short. Rather annoyingly the event is still posted on the calendar, however the thread isn't posted, so theres no valid link to a thread.
It would be great if the title prefix was a customisable option in the vBulletin control panel.

Installed and works great! Question: Is there an option to change the way the thread is created? Instead of it being [day - month - year] I want it to adopt the standard format of [month - day - year]
Also, is there a way to post an event for future reference? Example I make a post on Monday for an event coming up the next Saturday. Instead of it showing up on Monday on the Calender, show up on Saturday. This maybe something in development and if so good job!

Have this installed but there are two issues:
1) It should use the default date format in the forums. I created an event and it says 05-08-20 for the date. My members are American for the most part and this is an improper date format. I am not running an International Forum.
2) After the date it says [][] in the thread title. I am guessing the times belong here but don't really now. These should be fixed or removed.

Not in my case (and others as well).
The post gets thrown in the moderator queue and the user does not see it until the admin releases it, regardless of the settings.
There Has to be a way around this.

No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator
I am entering c=1:f=9 and have tried different things on the theme, but always get the above message.
thanks
This is the on-going issue with the permissions. My guess is you are creating the events as a user with normal permissions? Non-moderating permissions?
IMHO - this hack will only benefit admins and moderators until that permissions error is sorted. I can't figure it out.

1) It should use the default date format in the forums. I created an event and it says 05-08-20 for the date. My members are American for the most part and this is an improper date format. I am not running an International Forum.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=754957&postcount=59
or just edit the xml
find:
y-m-d
replace with:
m-d-y
Also, is there a way to post an event for future reference? Example I make a post on Monday for an event coming up the next Saturday. Instead of it showing up on Monday on the Calender, show up on Saturday. This maybe something in development and if so good job!
This is a great idea!
Maybe a hack connected in some way to the event-reminder?

Every event posted gets moderated and the poster receiving an unspecified thread error. That issue hasn't been addressed. I would not recommend installing it on a production board until that issue is taken care of. You will have some highly confused members.
Is there any progress on getting htis working with event attendance hack.. its been a while and not heard anything... cheers

Alot of people seem to be looking for updates to this plugin, and well...
I wanted to use this on my forums, so decided to fix alot of the bugs with it (lol) :)
Some of the bugs I have fixed:
Posting an event/thread follows the forumPermissions.
Edit redirect went to the event editor for EVERY post, it now only does it for the top post (the one that the event was posted with).
New Thread forwards to new event for moderators too (I changed this because i wanted mods to be able to use it this way too, but its easily changed back).
Edit Event used the incorrect text after mulitple posts (this could have been due to a change i made fixing other bugs).
If you click on an event link that doesnt have an assosiated thread, you no longer get that confusing error (no thread specified). Instead it goes to the event info as it would before the plugin was installed.
Changed the ordering of the title. This was down to personal preference, but I did it to suite my own personal forums. IMO it would be really nice to have some way to configure this in the vbulletin options :)
Im sure theres other things ive fixed, but it was sort of all on the fly hehe.
There is still a bug in it which I havent looked at fixing yet which is the delete thread, which seems to be a bit dodgy.
If you want to try out the changes I made, then feel free to download the attatchment below. I'm using this on a live board and it seems to be working fine, aside from the one bug above.
Hope this helps some of you desperate for this :)

When you click on a day in the minicalendar, or in the large calendar. It shows you an overview of the days events. This is what you will be seeing. (Just went to the site and there are no events for the day).
If you click on the event title there, it will take you to the thread still. But i think it would be nice to have a button here or something. Isnt very obvious for users :)
The event forums seems to update the event with each new post to the thread. So the last post displays as the event info on the day view. I'll try and fix this.
One note:
I have PM'd the author of this plugin about taking over the project, but he has still not replied. He has not been online since 27th august (nearly 2 weeks). Not sure if he is just on holiday or has stopped supporting this. Either way, i'm not going to post any more updates until I have got his permission to take it over or make a new plugin.

How do I access any events that were previously posted before I added this pluggin?
The events that I already had, show up on the calendar view, but when I click on the title it takes me to this message:
vBulletin Message
No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator
I would like to be able to access old events and copy and paste the old event info into new event threads and clear those non working links out of the calendars.
Any Insight?
I also would like to request that the "Event Attendace Hack" be integrated into this system as it would be an excellent feature for my members as well.
Thank you guys for taking the time to develop and support this excellent pluggin. I seriously don't understand why Jelsoft has not spent more time on this.

it works perfect in Gold...
just a note - you might want to update the xml file offered in the first post of this thread to reflect that v1.0 xml posted a few posts above mine.
and yes, let's see the integration of Event Attendance hack now!
NOTE: I disabled the "calendar_getday_start" plugin (that redirects the calendar events to the forum threads instead), and now having the event attendance hack installed already it shows on the calendar posts. what would be cool is to create some sort of link from calendar to the thread (for more info) and vice versa (for attendance list)... or an even tighter integration, if anyone has a clue how to.

I go to VB options and sync the calendar/forum (1:15)
Now when I try to delete a thread from the sync'ed forum, I get this error:
Fatal error: Existing data passed is not an array
Called set_existing in /home/eternalb/public_html/forums/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php(1226) : eval()'d code on line 25

As soon as I remove the 1:15 setting from VB Options, I do not get this error.
Help?
Anyone else experience this?

I sent him a PM and an e-mail as well and no response here either.
What makes it even worse is his yahoo messenger handle is "endquote" and I went to add him to my contact list on there but after a day when he came online he refused the request for him to be added to my list.
It's a shame he is not supporting this development. He seems rather talented juding from the portfolio work on his site.

What do you need for an incentive to get it done? Cash donations through Paypal? I need a solution for my board relaunch pretty soon. This is one of the developments I am tracking.
Also, as I inquired in a previous post, how do I get rid of old events that are still listed in the calendar once I have implemented this pluggin?

edit the xml before upload or use the plugin manager to edit the code that generates the thread.
I hope there will be further development on this in the future, right now, however, im having a bit of an issue with times now showing up quiet right all the time..
An example of whats going on is this : Ill post an event that spans two days, starts at 1pm ends at 7am, but when it posts it shows up as 1pm to 6am on the thread title, if I try to hard code a time adjustment, it works but for only a case like this, if I do a single day range, where usually it would show fine, will be offset on the ending say by -1 hr.
Any ideas on howto deal with this?

It would be neet if you could set a date in the calendar, say 5 days after the event, and the thread would be auto closed.
Devii
10-12-2005, 12:15 AM
Indeed that would be cool, I think vB really needs an Event Manager plugin of sorts, allow for threads/comments, and rules on how the events are dealt with (closing after x days as you said, and so on). Also have options for like seats/used seats, and maybe even pre-payment/payment verification?
I can do a bit of PHP, but I dont have a deep understanding of the vB code base...

Obviously more people would find out about the event from the thread itself. It would seem silly to direct them then to the calender for signup.

Called set_existing in /home/commodor/public_html/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php(1226) : eval()'d code on line 25

I'm trying this on 3.5.1 and after entering an event it errors with "no thread specified". There isn't one specified in the URL.

can this be started in a new thread?
give full credits here but that way if updates happen we can be sure it is updated in the download and don't have to scroll through all the posts to make sure its the latest versoin.
as of now, I want to install this even in its current state....but don't what to download as some ppl have mentioned they've fixed some bugs. :/

vb .org should have some better features to let the public have some sort of organization to these threads.. such as one note
sepratized posts which contain updates in an additonal area so you would not have to scroll

Current Requests:
- updated to work with 3.5 Gold.
- event moderation (inline and through admin CP)
- attendance hack integration
- event reminders (subscriptions for attendes)
- ability to clear old events, or automotically transfer the event data from the currently filled in event feilds to new threads.
I will start the with an offer of $50. Anyone willing to donate to the pot?
For payment we are at
skizzy203 - $50
Silurius - $50 (if all his needs are met)
crash resistant - ??? (did not give price)
Somerfeld - $50
me - $50 (have to meet all of skizzy203 original criteria)
So total is $200 + (if Crash Resistant is in) USD for some brave soul to get this running.
Now if I have written your name here and you don't want to contribute then PM me and I will take it off.
Just to be clear I am giving money as an incentive for some coder to finish the code and give to the world. I am not trying to buy this code.
Peace Out

if ya look about in the middle of the thread, there is an updated version.... i am using it and this hack works perfectly for me on 3.5.1. In-line moderation works except not with topics which were previously in the forum.. only new topics made.

Alot of people seem to be looking for updates to this plugin, and well...
I wanted to use this on my forums, so decided to fix alot of the bugs with it (lol) :)
Some of the bugs I have fixed:
Posting an event/thread follows the forumPermissions.
Edit redirect went to the event editor for EVERY post, it now only does it for the top post (the one that the event was posted with).
New Thread forwards to new event for moderators too (I changed this because i wanted mods to be able to use it this way too, but its easily changed back).
Edit Event used the incorrect text after mulitple posts (this could have been due to a change i made fixing other bugs).
If you click on an event link that doesnt have an assosiated thread, you no longer get that confusing error (no thread specified). Instead it goes to the event info as it would before the plugin was installed.
Changed the ordering of the title. This was down to personal preference, but I did it to suite my own personal forums. IMO it would be really nice to have some way to configure this in the vbulletin options :)
Im sure theres other things ive fixed, but it was sort of all on the fly hehe.
There is still a bug in it which I havent looked at fixing yet which is the delete thread, which seems to be a bit dodgy.
If you want to try out the changes I made, then feel free to download the attatchment below. I'm using this on a live board and it seems to be working fine, aside from the one bug above.
Hope this helps some of you desperate for this :)

Sorry if you feel I have annoyed you by fixing all your bugs. I'm just a bit impatient and saw that I could help. If you want to use the changes I have made then feel free. I just ask that you put some credit somewhere :)

Where is the file you need to overwrite. Or do you need to uninstall the product and re-install it?

do old events fall of the list, or do we have to delete the events that pass.

I believe this particular behavior is unchanged by this hack - so any events that need to be deleted must be deleted manually.

Also, does anyone know who to change the code so that it will order events based on year, month then day. Right now it orders based on month first and year not at all.

I'm having currently a hell of a big problem. When I tried to set a Holiday for my calendar
Varname : Thanksgiving
Title : Thanksgiving
Description : Thanksgiving [U.S. Holiday]
Recurring option : Every 24th November
The Hack ceases to work. I still can create a new Event, but no attached thread gets made and the nwt_threadid in the Event Table lists always 0. Any idea on how to fix this? Its kinda urgent as I really depend on this Calendar/Forum integration.
Thanks

Erm, hi. Sorry for not being around for a while.
After writing this extension, I ended up getting sidetracked with a bunch of other projects, and haven't gotten back to the site that the extension was written for. I'm not sure when I'll get back to it, since it's a side thing and my other stuff is paying the rent. I'm not able to provide support for the code.
Evercraft has expressed interest in taking it over, but that was a while ago. If he/she or anyone else would like to work on it further, I and the other users would love it.

Is this the best availble for events ?
does it work well with vb3.5.1 ?

Its great for integration of the Calendar and Forum. And it works well in 3.5.1 - at least unless you do like I did. Till I tried to add the holiday everything worked perfectly. Tho I recommend to download Evercrafts Fix and update to 1.0 which is somewhere buried in this thread.

Um, it seems as though the money pool for the hack to be continued is at over $240 now... That may not be enough to pay rent, but I would think it would be enough motivation to update the pluggin and polish it off, atleast for the sake of the people that need it if anything.
You can find the (nearly) perfect Fix here:

I'm sure this has already been posted, but integrating the event attendance hack with this would be pretty sweet.
Also a cp option to edit the format of the post title would be great (so not having to code hack) along with a default event type entry (like - all day, range etc...)

I've installed Event Attendance but it seems that the author is gone away since noone is answering so I ask here hoping that someone can help.
What I need is that when someone enroll for an event, he can also indicate how many peoples will attend this event so, I think, I would need a simple popup or text box where the user can insert a number.
I've checked the code of EventAttendance.xml but I'm not able to understand.
Someone can help me? I don't think I'm the only one that could find useful this hack... :nervous:

can someone help me out with a bit of the code for display properties.
I would like the posting title to look like this:
Event Title | Event Date | Custom1 | Custom2
What a night | 05/05/05 | All Ages | Kansas City, MO

Also time zones need to be looked at.... it seems to always post the thread title as 0 GMT, even if the forum default isn't that...

Just released the new plugin. You can find it at the link below:

The first post of the thread is included in the event.
The plugin forces the date and any custom calendar fields to appear in the subject of the thread.
Is there any way to get this to not force the custom fields into the subject? It can make for an entirely too long subject if you have a lot of custom fields.

This seems be be working well however on my homepage it shows the number of threads and posts as a default for all my forums, including this one. Also the most recent post.
With this installed it always shows the most recent post as "never" and the posts and thread counts as 0. Is there a way to better display this information in the actual event forum I have set up?
Take a look at my forum for the events called "PhysioBob's Courses" on my forum at http://www.physiobob.com/forum
many thanks :confused:
