Alright, newbie question time. :p

I know nothing about PHP, SQL, or any sort of coding really. I really need this calendar hack for what I'm planning on doing. I had a go at installing it, and found that some things the file tells me to replace don't even exist. Perhaps a version difference? I'm using 3.0.7. Yet people are saying they have it working on there.

In trying to install it, I managed to destroy my forum (thankfully not even open yet), which was quite a hassle. I've wasted hours now... I say wasted, because I've really not managed to get anywhere.

I had a look at one of the threads created for newbies in another forum here, but the SQL tool it links to is from 2002, and the stuff in one of the php files it tells me to change doesn't exist!

I do not understand how to use the "Execute SQL Query" tool. I updated the config.php file so I can use it, but once I am there, I have no idea what to do next. And nothing I can find on this site seems to tell me. Plus, there seem to be all sorts of little changes people have made in this thread, and I just don't know what I need to do to get this working anymore.

Is there anyone who's installed this on 3.0.7 who'd be willing to post a step-by-step guide as far as what needs to be done? I can generally figure things out if I'm given a few hints, but I'm really lost on this one.

Found it,, had to add checked="checked" to the html code of the form..

Now the hard part, trying to get the total # of members attending that was posted in #116 to work on the FORUMHOME and my portal pages.. Not even sure of where to start... Only need the count so it would need to make the whole call like the script does. Just a call to what eventid and count how many are marked to attend. Hmmmm.

First and foremost ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATABASE! Also any files that you change. If you are not sure then search here or vb.com and read the threads on how to do this..

The script works in 3.0.7 as I have it working in mine. It would probably be easier if you post what you can't find than someone trying to help you through the parts you already have done or know. I can help you through Pm if you'd like so as not to jam up the thread. It's a very easy hack to install.

I'm trying to figure out how to add the rollcount to the monthly calendar view ... so users will know before clicking on the event if the event cap has been met. This seems like it's just about there, but I'm missing something to call it up on the monthly view:

TIA

The $rollcount variable will work on that particular event, but for it to work on every event on a monthly calendar view, there will have to be a lot more coding. Coding that I have a basic understanding of what needs to be done, but no clue on the implementation details. :( Hopefully someone will chime in here.

I'm working on a way to put the rollcount on different (non-vB) pages, maybe that will help.

Cool! How are you going about it?

Good luck with the new code! I have a simpler request that I can't seem to get right: How would I link a username to their profile?

TIA

Simple DB query but we'll see
