HAHAHA ok are you ready for this one.

I went into the event forum and clicked on "New Thread"

I noticed that while typing, anytime I hit the space bar, it would save the thread but not close the window...I then had 4 versions of my event.

Could not get to do it again, however, thought it was odd.

I would recommend though, when you click on new thread in the event forum, the add new event dialog comes up...it lets you enter a date, however, no times or recurring options. Anyway to get it to do that?

clicks install.

great job. :)

I second that idea.

Why is that impossible BUT sorting the events in the "summary box" is done by date? Why not just use the same sorting function/code from that?

Having the events all over the place and with dates in no specific order makes one hell of a mess on a forum that depends on "date sorted" events...


the easy way of fixing this issue for some of us would be to simply revert back to the old way of creating threads -> embedding the date into the thread title at creation/update time and inserting it into the database like that (so it's not just "virtually added" and goes missing once the thread is moved to another forum). that way we could still sort threads alphabetically, and that would get us threads sorted by dates (with a proper date format).

nobody? no answer, no help? tsk...

never mind... I hacked the code myself.

now I have it adding the date of the event (in a format customized differently from $datetime var in vb settings) and sorting the events by date instead of alphabetically or any other way... ;)

i guess you can't get anything done around here until you do it yourself.

Guy can somebody help me ... I followed ALL directions to the book!
but "Upcoming events" is not showing up on the forum....anyone know?

I am using a custom theme (by extremepixels)

thanks!

Is there any way to delay posting of events?

Example:

Post an entire year of events in the calendar.

Thread created when its within X days of event.

Full scope:

Id like to post the entire year's game schedule of a sports team in the calendar, and have a game-day-thread created 1 day before the event each time automatically then block users from starting threads or creating events. Keeps it uniform and automatic.

I also would like some new improvements for this hack. I don't mind to pay.

speaking of which, I'm willing to pay $20 for someone to either integrate the "buy thread" mod or edit the buy thread mod for use with this script....

Not only does the new event button disapears when you turn on the summary but the first post "meaning the event post" disapears also from the thread.

I dunno if anyone is encountering that bug also ?
I also can't seem to be able to add "Recurring Events"

I have the same problem...no new event button. The button will show if the <if></if> is removed. But then it will show in all of the forums. Is there a different if statement that could be used to choose the forum that it will show up in?
