No it does not. Like today 1/25 I have an event on homepage. I selected every year after applying the fix, it stopped showing. Do you have 0000 defines as every year somewhere?

I did like Kevin suggested and yours too (the two posts above this one). I am a little confuse with the 1900 from Kevin and 0000 in yours.

Anyway, I can't get an every year event to show. Any suggestions because this a great time saver hack?

Sorry Lionel,

I think I confused some here with what I posted. I actually made my own hack to get events and birthdays to display on a non-vb page (homepage). It is a hack of a hack. The original hack was for the displaying of news (pluhnews I believe. Can't remember but thank you to the hacker for this) on a non-vb page.

Using that hack, I made my own for displaying four more things on my homepage;

• Today's Birthdays
• Upcoming Birthdays
• Today's Events
• Upcoming Events

In my version of the hack, I use 1900 as the year for storing recurring events. I had problems saving years that were 0000. That is the only difference with mine. Any year should work as long as you are consistant in all areas that are looking for recurring events.

If you can post what you have for displaying your events on a non-vb page, I can try to help you sort out the problem.

I am actually using the todaysevents.php hack to display on a vb page, under birthdaybits. I then installed re-occuring events. Problem is when I select that option, it is no longer displaying todays events on forumhome as, I assume, it gets confused with the year. It shows in calendar but not in index page.

Lionel,

Can you upload that file here?
I can look it over to see what the problem is.

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks! PM me your email. They don't like for us to display vb codes on forums. I'll send you a zip.

this DOES work!
everything in the calendar script has been attended to so that re-occuring events will show up every year.

Lionel
you are talking about a seperate hack which displays calendar events on the main forum page. that will have to be modified just like the caledar script was modifed. I don't have that hack installed so I don't know exactly what will be change. I can tell you that it will be very similar to these changes that I've posted. if you would post the code that gets the events for your main forum page, I could tell you how to modify it.

doesn't seem like much and several are different every year because of the day of te week. Got em here
http://www.holidays.net/dates.htm

I need something like this but instead of every year, how about x amount of days? Like a convention is May 1-7. Currently you would have to enter each day....

Hmmmm. How would one tweak the code for this hack so that recurring events could be set for specific days of the week with a starting and ending date?

Example: every Tuesday from April 2nd, 2002 through March 30, 2003 I want the same event to be listed on the calendar.

Thoughts?

:)
funny, I wanted both of these options. My calendar is so hacked at this point, I stopped playing with it before it got too different from the original

not sure how to handle either, but I'll put some thought into it again.

re-occuring day of week with date range
ex 1 - every monday may to aug
ex 2 - second thurs of the month, every month

one event span multiple days
