I have installed this on my site and have it set so all my regional sections will have the event option. However, when people try to post an event, besides in the southern california section (i.e. midwest...) the event defaults back to southern california. is there a way to fix this?
here's the link to the regional forums..

The "summary" is showing up on all 4 of the regional forum sections, but the event itself only gets posted in the southern california section. Please help!

thanks

This addon is awesome.

Can anybody help me setup a "default text" for the message box when creating a new event? I would like to have a "template" automatically in the message box, but only for new events, to keep things a little more consistent.

Thanks.

M. Hargrove,

There is a mod out there that works for other forums, but not event forums. There has been some interest to see if someone can get it to work for Event forums, but no response yet.

It is called "Thread Stencil" and can be found here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=130162

Has anyone been able to get the Post Moderation tools to work with this? I can use Thread tools successfully, but I get an Invalid Event ID message when trying to use the Post tools (check-boxing the posts and using the drop-down at the bottom of the thread).

how can i get the date to be appended to vBadvanced CMPS Recent Threads on the front page

it only shows the name of the event, but id like to have the date as well

Example:
San Diego Show - 2/6/2008

instead of:
San Diego Show

Bugzy - try using the vba module 'Upcoming Events Standalone' addon, found at vbavanced.com Works really well with this hack as long as you don't use custom fields or dates in thread/event titles.

thanks

actually, i wanted the Recent Threads default CMPS module to have the date appended to it.

Yes, I got that, but I don't think it is possible. If you want events ordered or displaying event date instead of post date, you'll have to use the other addon/module.

hello, I just found this mod.

reading the list below, I'm still not clear exactly how this works.

After this mod is installed, I need only to create a new event in my VB Calendar. Then there will be a new thread automatically created in my new Events forum area?

• When a new event is created in a calendar, an associated thread is created in the linked forum.
• Links to events in the calendar are forwarded to the associated thread, or optionally a seperate New Event button can be added with a minor template edit.
• New thread links in the event forum are redirected to a new event form.
• Editing a thread or event, will update its associated event/thread.

As long as you have mapped a calendar ID to a forum ID in the options, yes.

Well, essentially it merges the associated thread and the Calendar event. Yes, 'new thread' now makes an event in those forums instead

This is what the thread/calendar event looks like: http://athanatoi.quillsabroad.com/fo...read.php?t=236

You can't view the separate calendar event, or the thread separately.

Ive installed this mod and I think its great. Thanks.

I have a question. Is it possible to sort the posts in the event forum by date of event rather than the date it was posted?

Hi,

I have just installed this on vB3.6.8PL2 with the vBadvanced CMPS front end.

It seems to be working ok - when an event is added to the calendar it also appears listed in the forum as it should - but when a user clicks on the thread subject in the forum, the thread opens and occupies the full width of the web page underneath the menu bar/bread crumb area instead of in the center column. The rest of the site appears as normal underneath it.

I have attached an image – any ideas as to what I have done wrong?

Also is there a way of allowing new threads in the forum appear in the calendar but not have calendar entries in the forum? I tried permission settings but that doesn't seem to make any difference

Don't think so - but the event summaries at the top of the page kinda replace that functionality.

None at all, you could try asking over at vbadvanced? I use vba myself, but I don't use forum integration.
Not that I know of - you might be able to 'moderate' events/threads (Thread Tools -> Edit thread --> is visible? uncheck) but I haven't tried it myself.

What happens if you move the event category to a different forum? Will this disrupt the relationship between the calendar and the forum or the forum itself?

Also, Id like to move the Todays Events table to the top of the page rather than the bottom. What is involved in this? How is it done?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know about moving it to a forum that is not associated with a calendar, but if you move an event from

'event forum A (calender A)' to 'Event forum B', the event will move to Calendar B.

I imagine that moving an event to a non-event forum would either leave the event without a thread, or remove the event all together and leave just the thread.


I think all that is involved is some template edits. Reading through this thread might reveal some, or doing an extensive search of the graphics forum (in the main discussion area) or the 3.6 templates mod. I don't have time to search for ya right now though.

Thank for all the help, Caerydd. Much obliged.

Thank-you! Our board will be heavily dependent upon the calendar, so this is a wonderful thing to have!

Has anyone had issues with this MOD when upgrading to vB 3.7?

how can i remove the "post reply" buttons from the calendar event view only?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

also waiting for vb3.7 confirmation...

awesome MOD... i used it for 3.5!!

Yes has anyone tried this on 3.7 ?

would it be possible to have an option to email particular, not all, events to a designated CC list?

i'd like to avoid an email being sent out for every recurring event which will be added 4 times a month, and only certain important events emails to be sent out.

possible? or already available?

Hi Guys,

I have tested this using VB 3.7 Beta 6 just now. Install went ahead perfectly. After you have installed it and setup the plugin remember you need at least 1 Event for it to show. So before you think it isn't working make sure you create at least 1 event.

It is a real shame that the Author isn't still developing this, however thankyou for creating what would be one of the best mods for VB still to this day.
We are looking at paying someone to pickup development and make some modifications to it.

And a HUGE thank you to thincom2000 for his efforts in helping out where he could in this modification.

Regards,

.Joel

well, i decided to bite the bullet and install on vb3.7...

working thus far... (but only been a few hours...) will keep all informed...

quick question... has anyone ever been able to get two forums to correspond to just one calendar?

*edit*

never mind. totally works.

I would love it if there was a way to allow users to choose what event type they want instead of having it default to the same type on every calendar. We heavily rely on our calendars and it would be nice to have just a bit more flexibility with choosing event type. Right now, we have the default set to "Ranged Events", but some events are recurring, so it would be nice if we could choose that option for those events only.

I know this has been asked before, so maybe it's worth updating the mod with this ability?

You could send them to add events from the calendar rather than the forum? (I mean just a short term fix)

Also, I dunno which mod it is, but either event forums, event attendance...seem to prevent reoccuring events. Need to debug that.

I could do that for single, all-day events, but like you said, the recurring events does not seem to be working and that is what I am really interested in. Also, I need this process to be as simple as possible because I will have a lot of newbies on my board who are not tech-savvy in the least bit.

Just poking.

I'm very interested in optimised versions of this & Farcaster's Event Attendance. It may be another mod adding to load (starting debugging tonight when I get home from work) but viewing an event forum caused aroun 78 queries. As opposed to all of 11 on the forumhome.

No you're correct in assuming the queries come from this mod. I'm just about ready to release my optimized combination of the mods.

Hey, getting this message

RSVP'd Yes: 6 (5 members and 1 guests and [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] spiders)

So, yes, it's because I installed a hack to list spiders, but it seems strange they would use the same phrase as the whose online. Anyway, I can remove everything after the 6, knowing if it's a person who said yes or their guest is irrelevant to me, so if you or someone can point me to where this is... I could try removing it. :)

Fantastic :) I look forward to testing it out on my test board. Will it be 3.6.8 compatible, or optimised for 3.7 ? (I don't mind either, I think these 2 mods were the reason I'm stuck on 3.6.8, if I recall correctly)

calling for 3.7 support, with love

Second call for 3.7 update, streamlining the amount of queries.

I installed it on 3.7 and have the following error.

When I try to reply to an event thread I get the following error

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters

Any ideas?

Have you considered entering at least 10 characters? :D (Sorry, I just couldn't resist!)

So does it or does it not work for 3.7? If so, any alterations to install?

Great mod.
I have downloaded the file but have a question.

I currently have an EVENTS forum. I create threads there and create a calendar entry.

Once I execute this mod, will the threads I currently have in my EVENTS forum be lost or will new calendar entries be added as new threads?

Thanks!

new calender entries will be added as new threads. Currently existing threads will not be affected.
