Correct, but the only thing you need to do if upgrading from 1.3 is import the xml.

wp... Did you ever think of a way I could have it display it bullet style instead of in tables on the forumhome?

  • Hockey
    • Professional
    • College
    • High School
  • Football
    • American Football
    • The Rest of the World (Soccer)
  • Baseball

with the normal calendar feature, you cannot have categories. And with "Add Event" you can have any date. So, if you want an event like "Jan 1, 132 B.C. - the first ball was invented", you can do that. But, that isn't possible in the normal calendar. Also, the events in "Add Event" are fully searchable.

Thanks for the explanation. While this particular feature does not benefit my forum's intended application simply only because my the standard calendar suffices (I just list the motorcycle races as they come up).

But I can see how this can be a useful feature now in the right forum. Thanks for shedding some light on that. I would recommend posting something similiar to that in your first post of this thread so that others know how this can benefit them and their forum.

I have way too many RSS feeds I have to manage now haha

Done! Thanks for the idea. The irony is that this product originally was for just the "Add Event" feature. A friend suggested adding the RSS Feeds, which has become what I think almost everyone actually uses!

Here is a good example of a site that uses both features: Armchair General

westpointer,

1.3.1 solved my problem with the sidebar as well, thanks again for the great support this hack has. :up:

Hello Westpointer,

thanks for this hack!

I noticed that even if a usergroup has no permission to add an event it is possible for this group to add one?

That shouldn't be true. Can you post what the AboutToday permissions are for the group? Maybe I left an opening somewhere??
