also have default calendar ID:1 for events

installed products (particulary german, translated on the fly for this post)

Awsome mod! Works flawlessly!

Is there way to put the list of events at the top of the main forum instead or including inside the events forum?

Thanks to Farcaster for great support.
Thumbs up. Issue /w wrong date is fixed. ;)

I would like to ask all of you for your input about better managing my events. For instance... I run a car forums where there are members all across the U.S. I've broken my forums down to capture groups of the U.S.

Regional Gatherings and Events (This is the category)
- Eastern States (forum)
- Pacific States (forum)
- Mountain States (forum)
- Central States (forum)

What I would like to know....is currently, I have the Events Forum set up to use one calendar and it's using a seperate forum than those I've listed "Scheduled Events". Problem with using just one forum for all of our events is that there are events that I would rather capture putting them in each of their own forums.

For instance...if a member posting in the Eastern States forum wants to post up a new event in the calendar...the Events Forum will grab that and put it in the Eastern States forum. As with a member in the Pacific States....if he posts up a new event for the pacific states area...that event will go into the Pacific States forum.

I hope this is making sense...cause I'm just about feeling like I'm confusing myself. :doh:

I welcome your thoughts on this as it can better help me in managing this hack and my forums.

I have a problem.

I have 2 forums specified for 1 calendar. If I create an event in the 2nd forum, it's added to the 1st forum instead. I've tried reversing the order, I've tried other forum, I've tried more then 2... EVERYTHING goes to the first forum specified.

Yea, I had the same issue....so I was figuring that the hack just doesn't like to use multiple forums for the same calendar id. This is why I'm trying to figure out a different way to get this hack to work with my other forums....but it appears I will have to use multiple calendars...bummer...as it would be easiest for my members in all states to work off of one calendar.

Greg, sounds like your forums for your events are laid out very similar to mine then.

Not really the same layout, but the same problem I agree. I have a Meeting/Events forum, and I have a Universal Threads forum. The Universal Threads is a hack that allows any thread in the specified forum to show across all other forums just like an announcement would, however because it's a thread, people can comment on it. I also customized it so it shows broken out like a Sticky Thread.

Here is an example. This is my General Forum. You'll see the Uni's at the VERY top of the thread listing with there own header, then Stickies, then Normal threads.

So, some events are general weekly, hey are we doing anything this weekend, those stay in Meetings/Events. But we have monthly meetings and special events that go in Universal Threads because those are bigger events then just a weekend hangout. I shouldn't have to use a 2nd calendar and that is just going to confuse people even more I think. I would like this hack to work as advertised.

Hello,

Did anyone notice that you can not edit the "New Events" ?

I get this: vBulletin Message: Invalid Action Specified

When I try to edit the message/post. :(

Any help on fixing this?

Thanks.

I've edited them fine.

Also for the time being I added a second calendar and it works, but I REALLY would like it fixed so it's only 1 calendar, but multiple forums.

Why can't you make it array based, like instead of

1:3
1:43

Something like

1:3,43

That way you can specify which forums get which calendars?
