to upgrade, simply import the product with the overwrite box ticked. DO NOT uninstall the previous version, as you will lose all your old settings.

ok well basically what you need, is for the plugin code in Show up and coming events for a specified forum id to be run on that page. Its done using hooks into the original vb files, but as far as im away, CMPS doesnt support hacks so you'd have to edit the CMPS file to display it.

basically that code generates what goes in the summary box :)

Unfortunatly I haven't really looked much at CMPS, so I don't really know much more to help.

I think you might be able to remove it by running one of the counters under the maintenace menu at the bottom of the admin CP menu. I think it might be rebuild thread info, or there might be one for fix broken threads or something (cant check right now). Let me know if it helps.

I will speak to the author of the event attendance, and see about maybe intergrating it into this hack. We are certainly half way there with it working together already, and some extra admin options for it would be nice too :)

Can't promise anything, but i'll see what I can do.

not at the moment.

Originally when I made the summary, when it was sorted by Event, I just couldn't get it to look very good at all, it was a real mess.

It would be nice to put that option back, but i'd need to look at sorting it out a bit.

Thanks for the quick reply :) Maybe I could get someone at the vBa site to help me convert this for my needs. Thanks for a great hack!

When I submit the Save Event button, I am getting this error:

link: http://www.mysite.com/forums/calendar.php?do=update&e=

This page is not designed to be access directly.


It looks is missing the info on the link, any idea what could casue this problem.

I'm in the same boat as Jen....

I have a question, im not sure if this is already a feature or if its possible. I remember trying to mod this back in the previous version without luck. Okay in the Forum view, is there a way to force the listing of event thread in order of event date. So regardless of a new post or new event thread they stay in chronological order?

There isnt currently a way with this mod. I'm not really sure if its very well possible, it might be.

I have this issue with the latest version of event forum + event attendance, when i create an event without the attendance function enabled and choose to enable it later thru event edit, the link that says "I will be attending this event" does not appear. This also happens when i create a new event and with the attendance enabled but click on the "save event" button under Add New Event instead of Additional Options.

Anyone knows what is going on with this? Great mod BTW, just the thing i need.

I am on 3.6.x BTW.

No one else got this issue? Evercraft, pls advise!:cool:

This is awesome, I just need it to have this and im happy ehehe

Extra post options support (Attachments, Post Icons, Sticky etc).

Beautiful hack thxs will be used often in our forums thxs again
zero issues on install 3.6.0

Hi, I am using the customfieldid on calendar to display an image
$value[calendarcustomfieldid].gif

in your plugin to display in showthread you only get

$customtitle = $key;
$customoption = convert_url_to_bbcode(unhtmlspecialchars($value));


please, how can i get the customfieldid?

thank you

never mind, I redid all images so I use optiontitle instead of id, which is a pain, as titles do change sometimes, but not ID

A more important question: how do you post a vbookie event in that event thread?

I think this is related to the attendance mod patch Farcaster released, or it could be a bug in the Attendance mod itself. Does it do it if you disable the Event Forums plugin temporily?

Yes i really want this too myself :p

The event attendance sort of does this (it adds its own option), so I may be able to add a few of the options in by looking at that, but i'd like to find a better way so it shows all the same stuff as a post. The other option, is to change when you add an event, instead to take you to a new thread screen, and put the date controls there. That might work, but either way its a bit complicated :o

Theres also another mod called Post thank you, which is very similar but is updated often, and has some nice other features over event attendance.

All that would need to be changed would be the phrases to say something like, users who are attending, instead of thankyou.

It was suggested by someone a while ago, but I only just remembered about it.

Has anyone tried this with Event Forums?

I have heed your advice and it turns out it is actually a bug in the Attendance Mod itself. So now the problems lies in that the Event Attendance Mod has no updates for a while. Any ideas how to fix this?

I've just installed this mod, and it seems great. I can't though seem to get the "new event" button to appear on my event forum. :confused:

What I've done so far:

Installed mod
Done template mod to FORUMDISPLAY
Checked all permissions
Uploaded gif file to images/buttons
Change the Show the New Event button on the thread list option to YES
Linked the Calendar to the Event Forum (tested this by creating an event in the calendar, and it makes a new thread in the correct forum)

What have I done wrong??? :confused: :confused: :confused:

I have the same issue.
All along it was working fine. Which tells me there is a conflict somewhere.
How did you solve yours?

Anyway, Gerakus I solved my issue. It was caused by the Talker Bot hack.

I had the same problem. Installed & worked fine, except for getting the New Event button to show. Evercraft & myself looked over everything I had done to get it to work and never could figure out why it would not show up. My only guess is that I'm using Miko's ARIA Skins (from vbstyles) and that might have had something to do with it.:confused: So not that this helps you any, just to let you know you are not alone.

Seriously, Any ideas?

GREAT to see that this is now working with Event Attendance! finally installed. great work!

a couple issues though:

1) i just posted my first event. any idea why it would be showing up as an event AND a post immediately after? see what i mean in the attached screenshot..

2) when viewing the forum, the thread title shows the date, but on search results, the thread title has no date.

and a couple general questions:

3) what would happen if i merge an existing thread (created before i installed this) with a NEW calendar event? there are some discussions about upcoming events which aren't linked to the calendar, and i'm wondering if this will accomplish that..

4) %custom = Event's custom fields (if any) <-- can someone explain this? where can you add custom fields to an event?

thanks!

UPDATE: got 3 & 4 figured out.. can't merge threads, but you CAN move posts into an event thread (though it's a little screwy)..

regarding #4 - it would be nice if you could separate out your custom fields in the thread title (like Custom1 (Custom2) - DateTime: Title)..

still looking for info on 1 and 2 above.. #2 being *very* important.

(another) UPDATE: just found something else that isn't quite right - when you're in the calendar and you click on an event from the weekly or monthly view, you're taken to the thread. however, if you're in the yearly view (or the small month 'preview' at the bottom) and click on a date, you're only taken to the event, and NOT to the thread.

i'm guessing that this is because there could be multiple events on one day, which makes sense. however, i think a good added functionality would be to first check for multiple events on that day, and if there is only ONE event, take you to the event thread. does that make sense? would it be possible to add that in?

Anyone else had problems editing events since installing this mod? I get the following if I try:
I can work around this by going to Thread Tools/Move Thread (whether there are any posts besides the event or not) - then, I can edit the event, and move the posts back into the event thread. But other than immediately after moving the thread to another location, I haven't been able to edit the event. (Deleting the event, however, works fine)

There is a new and improved Event Attendance mod with active support out ! https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...74#post1097074

How about integrating this instead of the old buggy code?

it seems new & better event attendance hack has been released.... I appreciate if you can update event forum hack to work with it...

Can someone explain me how to stick this event threads and upload attachments?

Thanks!

evercraft, any word on these?

thanks.

Very nice, Thankyou for sharing !

I love this hack. I use it for sports events mainly with option single all day event.
I now would like to use it for celebrity birthdays, which are the recurring type.

Anyway to set type per calendar instead of global?

Farcasters Event Attendance 1.0.1 not working with Event Forums 3.3?? only 1.0.0? I haven't got it working yet.

Tako, I'll be working on an integration hack soon so that my new RSVP script will work with the Event Forums. Presently, Arpy's Event Attendance 2.0 is the only one integrated.

Oh, sorry. I didnt mean to rush you. I just misunderstood your release note. Thanks for a great hack.

Installed it.

However I've either found bugs or i've done something wrong.

In the thread created on event creation there is an "event options" drop down selecting delete event option throws up the error "you selected no posts for this feature" selecting all from the quick dropdown jobbie and then selecting "delete thread" gives the error message "vb tip #42: merging a post with itself wont get you very far"
to delete an event you have to select the delete thread option from thread tools.

next little problem as in this screen shot.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...3&d=1155066115
you have the upcoming events showing at the top of the forum section that is linked to the calendar, i can't get this working for me for the life of me.

Thank you for the hack. However, I am experiencing a small problem. Can you please help me? The thread reply expands to the left. Please see picture.

Have these issues been resolved yet?

* Soft delete actually hard deletes the thread.
* Search doesn't search the first post of an event thread.
* Inline ajax edit bugs thread title. Need to remove date and time from it before edit.

I am in desperate need of this hack working flawlessly :)
