I've read this thread several time, but am still unsure. Can someone confirm that this is working ok? I desperately need it but once installed on my live board, I can't afford any major issues.

TIA.

Every event posted gets moderated and the poster receiving an unspecified thread error. That issue hasn't been addressed. I would not recommend installing it on a production board until that issue is taken care of. You will have some highly confused members.

Is there any progress on getting htis working with event attendance hack.. its been a while and not heard anything... cheers

this will be good for my site, thank you :)

Alot of people seem to be looking for updates to this plugin, and well...

I wanted to use this on my forums, so decided to fix alot of the bugs with it (lol) :)

Some of the bugs I have fixed:

• Posting an event/thread follows the forumPermissions.
• Edit redirect went to the event editor for EVERY post, it now only does it for the top post (the one that the event was posted with).
• New Thread forwards to new event for moderators too (I changed this because i wanted mods to be able to use it this way too, but its easily changed back).
• Edit Event used the incorrect text after mulitple posts (this could have been due to a change i made fixing other bugs).
• If you click on an event link that doesnt have an assosiated thread, you no longer get that confusing error (no thread specified). Instead it goes to the event info as it would before the plugin was installed.
• Changed the ordering of the title. This was down to personal preference, but I did it to suite my own personal forums. IMO it would be really nice to have some way to configure this in the vbulletin options :)

Im sure theres other things ive fixed, but it was sort of all on the fly hehe.

There is still a bug in it which I havent looked at fixing yet which is the delete thread, which seems to be a bit dodgy.

If you want to try out the changes I made, then feel free to download the attatchment below. I'm using this on a live board and it seems to be working fine, aside from the one bug above.

Hope this helps some of you desperate for this :)

To Endquote
Sorry if you feel I have annoyed you by fixing all your bugs. I'm just a bit impatient and saw that I could help. If you want to use the changes I have made then feel free. I just ask that you put some credit somewhere :)

That's awesome Dave, thank you so much. Off to test it out.

I have your version installed Dave, which fixed all the bugs I was experiencing.

Question: I have this setup so that users can reply to the thread that is created by the calendar. I also use vBadvanced, and have the mini calendar installed on the portal page. The problem is, when I click on the event in the mini calendar, it doesn't link to the thread, it shows the last post in the thread, as the details for the event.

Live Demo of the issue: www.newayz.net in the mini calendar, click on 13th September. You'll see what I mean.

Thanks,

now, we have to set this "Event Attendance" merge.. ;)

just tested on a test board, after i figured out what the calendar and forum id where, it worked great :) is the file in the first thread updated as the creators last post ? and event attendace merge would be awsome :)
great hack

When you click on a day in the minicalendar, or in the large calendar. It shows you an overview of the days events. This is what you will be seeing. (Just went to the site and there are no events for the day).

If you click on the event title there, it will take you to the thread still. But i think it would be nice to have a button here or something. Isnt very obvious for users :)

The event forums seems to update the event with each new post to the thread. So the last post displays as the event info on the day view. I'll try and fix this.

One note:

I have PM'd the author of this plugin about taking over the project, but he has still not replied. He has not been online since 27th august (nearly 2 weeks). Not sure if he is just on holiday or has stopped supporting this. Either way, i'm not going to post any more updates until I have got his permission to take it over or make a new plugin.

Any idea if this works for RC3? Would be a great mod to have

Just installed on RC3 and work a treat. Great hack and thanks to everyone who got this working.

Working fine on Gold .. top hack :)

Anyone know how I would change the input so it only asks for one date, rather than start date & time and end date & time?

cheers

How do I access any events that were previously posted before I added this pluggin?

The events that I already had, show up on the calendar view, but when I click on the title it takes me to this message:

vBulletin Message
No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

I would like to be able to access old events and copy and paste the old event info into new event threads and clear those non working links out of the calendars.

Any Insight?

I also would like to request that the "Event Attendace Hack" be integrated into this system as it would be an excellent feature for my members as well.

Thank you guys for taking the time to develop and support this excellent pluggin. I seriously don't understand why Jelsoft has not spent more time on this.

So if I see a couple more people confirm that this is working in Gold, I shall click install and go at it. :)

it works perfect in Gold...

just a note - you might want to update the xml file offered in the first post of this thread to reflect that v1.0 xml posted a few posts above mine.

and yes, let's see the integration of Event Attendance hack now!

NOTE: I disabled the "calendar_getday_start" plugin (that redirects the calendar events to the forum threads instead), and now having the event attendance hack installed already it shows on the calendar posts. what would be cool is to create some sort of link from calendar to the thread (for more info) and vice versa (for attendance list)... or an even tighter integration, if anyone has a clue how to.

works fine for me :)

I have run in to a bug I think.. is this only me?

I install the product plugin
I go to VB options and sync the calendar/forum (1:15)

Now when I try to delete a thread from the sync'ed forum, I get this error:

Fatal error: Existing data passed is not an array
Called set_existing in /home/eternalb/public_html/forums/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php(1226) : eval()'d code on line 25
Called eval in /home/eternalb/public_html/forums/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php on line 1226
Called delete in /home/eternalb/public_html/forums/postings.php on line 384
in /includes/class_dm.php on line 235

As soon as I remove the 1:15 setting from VB Options, I do not get this error.

Help?

Anyone else experience this?

OK it looks like that happens when trying to delete a non-synched topic (old).

Anyhow, I have a **BUG REPORT**

On the main forum index, in the Last Post column, It is using the date of the last thread reply in the topic instead of the calendar date.

But when you enter the "Upcoming Events" section, it changes to what it should be displayed as:

[Fri Oct 7, 2005] LADIES DRINK FREE THIS FRIDAY AT ICE!!!! (Fri. Oct. 7th)
TerraEnigma Productions

I've already put this on a live production board, can we please get a fix for this ASAP!! :(

sigh.. well it's being wacky. I bumped the thread and it shows up as Fri oct 7th now on the forum index.

is anyone workin on intergrating this with the event attendance hack do we know? those 2 hacks would be awesome working together

Yeah, that would be kickass!

There i have fixed some of the bugs mentioned above, but as I have previously said, im not going todo anymore updates on this until the original author gets in touch. But he hasn't been online since august now, and he still hasn't replied to my PM or email :(

I am currently working on getting Event Attendance and this intergrated on my own boards, but i'm in no rush todo it, so unfortunatly I can't tell you when it will be done by.

I sent him a PM and an e-mail as well and no response here either.

What makes it even worse is his yahoo messenger handle is "endquote" and I went to add him to my contact list on there but after a day when he came online he refused the request for him to be added to my list.

It's a shame he is not supporting this development. He seems rather talented juding from the portfolio work on his site.

What do you need for an incentive to get it done? Cash donations through Paypal? I need a solution for my board relaunch pretty soon. This is one of the developments I am tracking.

Also, as I inquired in a previous post, how do I get rid of old events that are still listed in the calendar once I have implemented this pluggin?

Hi,
nice Hack.
But i Think, that this hack are include in your hack.

Then it?s a Perfect hack :D

I agree, its a vital addon which i think alot would want

Heck yes

Yes I have been wanting something like this for sometime now. I wish that the author would release it to Evercraft so he coud continue with it!! Also the integration with event attendance would be awesome!

Is is possible to remove the date & time from the post?

ex: Hello : 10-10-2005 11:30 AM - 04:30 PM remove the part in green.

edit the xml before upload or use the plugin manager to edit the code that generates the thread.

I hope there will be further development on this in the future, right now, however, im having a bit of an issue with times now showing up quiet right all the time..

An example of whats going on is this : Ill post an event that spans two days, starts at 1pm ends at 7am, but when it posts it shows up as 1pm to 6am on the thread title, if I try to hard code a time adjustment, it works but for only a case like this, if I do a single day range, where usually it would show fine, will be offset on the ending say by -1 hr.

Any ideas on howto deal with this?

I've installed the latest one from one of the posts but I don't see where the settings are for which forum etc.

Anyone know where or how?

actually I've found it. I just couldn't see it for looking.

It would be neet if you could set a date in the calendar, say 5 days after the event, and the thread would be auto closed.

Indeed that would be cool, I think vB really needs an Event Manager plugin of sorts, allow for threads/comments, and rules on how the events are dealt with (closing after x days as you said, and so on). Also have options for like seats/used seats, and maybe even pre-payment/payment verification?

I can do a bit of PHP, but I dont have a deep understanding of the vB code base...

Is this optional? I'd like only selected events to create threads, not all events.

Is this compatible with 3.50 gold ?

It's working fine on my 3.5.0 Gold

Any way to get this to work with moderated events?

I just had the same error on 3.5.0 GOLD!

Has anyone tried to make this Event Attendance plugin work alongside Event Forums?

nope, we are waiting for someone to release a version containing both functions in one package
