@Renny, that is not included in this mod. You can edit the calender event templates and include the following rough example:
It is tough to know exactly how the user in your screenshots created theirs, maybe a different event manager or a calendar per instance. On my site, I have a WoW calendar and it shows a WoW icon next to events scheduled for it. The CALENDER_ID is the number for the calender, in my case "3" and the IMAGE_CODE is the WoW icon.

This is something you will have to work out on your own however, you will need to be comfortable with customizing various templates.

@Sedition-Guild, Kinneas is correct, thank you.

Thanks for the updates Gryph :)

Nice update again Gryph. One thing I noticed after upgrading is that the new(?) template, gwe_visitorbit is uncached. I've added it to the cache_templates plugin on my installation.

Ok, I'll fix that.

I've installed the addon, and it's working fine apart from the scheduled task. It doesn't seem to run by itself, and there are no sheduled task logs for it. If I run it manually, no problem at all, but takes a little while to load.

I have the same issue, any updates? It worked fine until today, I've changed nothing my end.

A friend has this problem as well. I think that the vBulletin cron system is just not powerful enough to handle the lengthy process. Personally, I schedule vBulletin's cron.php to run via real cron to ensure it runs completely.

I can not reproduce this. I thought maybe it was php5 so I upgraded from php4 and still had no trouble with receiving updates.

Please try this attachment and let me know if it solves the problem.

Any news about this issue? workaround or similar won't work...

Ok got it working but now I find that I have double showing of events on the same date.

Ok Figured out that issue.. Now does the updating from armory always take so long?

Heya Gryphon,

I'm currently having a problem where if a character does not have a secondary skill trained, the cron job is crapping out on line 68. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!!

I have same issue as many others about armory not updated (just the spinning circle).

I did get the data once I ran a manual cron...but I made a change in my status on attendance, and all the data that showed, disappeared...I got the infamous spinning circle again.

As a result, it renders the hack unusable IMO.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /homepages/5/d24191187/htdocs/fallenangels/admincp/plugin.php(1985) : eval()'d code on line 2

wtf,....alls addons from gryphon make errors in my board!!! this error comes by installing

I can not reproduce this error. It seems to be installing ok for everyone else.

I left this message in the other WoW calendar thread, but now I realize this might be the newer, most robust version...

I run a board for the NHL 09 video game's EASHL mode (basically an MMO for hockey, where a team of up to 50 can get together to play online hockey games). I need something to organize team play times. Would this be possible to easily adapt for this game? Can I have multiple private versions of these calendars that each team can run?

Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

This event calendar is pretty much tied into World of Warcraft and the character profiles the developers have available online which get imported into the events.

Yeah, I took a look and it is tied in a ton to the game itself. I'll take a look at the code and see if I can modify it to work with the teams I have set up on my site instead of external roster stuff.

I have the same error on install the product

I am guessing the long retreive times for Awaiting Armory data import... is still an issue?

I am not sure what you mean by long retrieval times? Imports are done every 10 minutes (05, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55). If they take longer than that, the Armory may unreachable.

When a person signs up on the calendar for an event it sits there on the sign up list with next to their names with Awaiting Armory data import... . Eventually they show up, but it seems to be a long wait process. I figured if it is automatically going out and acessing the armory ever 10, 15 min and so on then it should cahce it so it doesn't take so long to grab data for on the calendar events. Does the Gwowevent and the Gwowroster character info share the same data that gets pulled/polled every 10, 15, etc. min.?

Just curious if there is a way around the long "Awaiting Armory data import..." on the event calendar really or is it working as intended?

Not complaining just trying to get an idea on how it works and if there is a way to get it to pull data faster if not by caching locally to a data base, maybe bypass the armory for the calendar events or something?

I love the hacks/mods they are awesome. Just curious.

It takes a snapshot for a character per event, it does not user prior cache for new events. The reason for a snapshot per event is for historical data not yet implemented, it is working as intended.

Ah ok just figured I would ask seeing I don't know alot about this. :) It has been educational. :) BTW again nice addons and thank you for going through and making the time to help me understand how this works. :)

Will this work with vB Advanced?
Does it come with the template or do I need to create my own?

Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by "works with" it, but I'm guessing you could write/use a module with it. I currently use an "Upcoming Events" module which also displays these events.

Found a small issue. If someone signs up who at the time was untalented, then although it shows up correctly there is a missing image where there would normally be a graphic icon representing their spec. The file it is looking for, which isn't present on my site or in the latest zip, is \images\misc\gwowevents\icons\spec\11-None.gif

just downloaded this, one question how do you setup events and what not? cant seem to figure it out

I tried installing this today and I get an immediate error:


Any idea?

I even wiped the forum and re-installed this and get the same problem.

Thanks.

@Mithan not sure how it happened. But use phpMyAdmin to delete the gwe_signup column from the event table then install the mod.

I've done that and it still wont work :(

It just refuses to install for some reason.


Do you think it could be do to some setting with mysql?

How would i set the Allow users to signup option to be checked by default

When the job is ran to get character day from the army, it only gets 1 person at a time. Is this normal? This is what I see when I run it manually.

Hello,

Just wondering if their is a mod Similiar to this but in gaming clan version. Ie for clan match signups. Etc Ive probably posted in the wrong area but if you could answer this it would be great.

I am having this same issue.

It said that it installed correctly, but for the life of me I cannot find where in the forum I or any other user can set up an event for signing up.

I am wondering if by chance it did not install correctly.

Thanks,
TazzMann

You create new calendar event and check the box to allow signups.

hello,

we have one problem.if user have a ^ or ´ in the charaktername (shâdowmoon or rabît ) then we become an error. what can we do, that it work with the ^and ´ in the charakternames?

without the ^´all will work fine, but if someone with the ^´in the names sign nothing work.....

please help!

thank you

hello,

nobody an idea,what we can do?

I got this installed without incident, but when I add an event and check to allow for sign-ups, I get a message that sign-up is not available for this event.

I had this installed before and it worked perfect. I don't know of anything that I have done differently, except installed a template mod for the calendar. I reverted those templates back and re-installed the mod with the same result. I have also checked permissions and set them appropriately.

Anybody have an idea what might be wrong. This is an awesome mod and I want to continue using it. I would appreciate any help I can get!

I added a feature that prevents people from signing up more than a week in advance to prevent people from just registering for every event on the calendar and then never visit the forum again.

There is no option to configure it...that I can remember, I will see about making it configurable in a future version.

I have set up multiple events to make sure I was not running into the built in limitation for event signup. When I set it up for 5 days from today, I get a message that the signup for the event is no longer available. When I exceed the 7 day window, then I get dual messages... the event is no longer available for signup AND the event is not yet available for signup due to the 7 day limitation.

I have checked and re-checked everything, but nothing seems to give me a different result. And... yes, with each test, I checked the box to allow event signup.
