HAHAHA ok are you ready for this one.

I went into the event forum and clicked on "New Thread"

I noticed that while typing, anytime I hit the space bar, it would save the thread but not close the window...I then had 4 versions of my event.

Could not get to do it again, however, thought it was odd.

I would recommend though, when you click on new thread in the event forum, the add new event dialog comes up...it lets you enter a date, however, no times or recurring options. Anyway to get it to do that?

clicks install.

great job. :)

I second that idea.

Why is that impossible BUT sorting the events in the "summary box" is done by date? Why not just use the same sorting function/code from that?

Having the events all over the place and with dates in no specific order makes one hell of a mess on a forum that depends on "date sorted" events...


the easy way of fixing this issue for some of us would be to simply revert back to the old way of creating threads -> embedding the date into the thread title at creation/update time and inserting it into the database like that (so it's not just "virtually added" and goes missing once the thread is moved to another forum). that way we could still sort threads alphabetically, and that would get us threads sorted by dates (with a proper date format).

nobody? no answer, no help? tsk...

never mind... I hacked the code myself.

now I have it adding the date of the event (in a format customized differently from $datetime var in vb settings) and sorting the events by date instead of alphabetically or any other way... ;)

i guess you can't get anything done around here until you do it yourself.

Guy can somebody help me ... I followed ALL directions to the book!
but "Upcoming events" is not showing up on the forum....anyone know?

I am using a custom theme (by extremepixels)

thanks!

Is there any way to delay posting of events?

Example:

Post an entire year of events in the calendar.

Thread created when its within X days of event.

Full scope:

Id like to post the entire year's game schedule of a sports team in the calendar, and have a game-day-thread created 1 day before the event each time automatically then block users from starting threads or creating events. Keeps it uniform and automatic.

I also would like some new improvements for this hack. I don't mind to pay.

speaking of which, I'm willing to pay $20 for someone to either integrate the "buy thread" mod or edit the buy thread mod for use with this script....

Not only does the new event button disapears when you turn on the summary but the first post "meaning the event post" disapears also from the thread.

I dunno if anyone is encountering that bug also ?
I also can't seem to be able to add "Recurring Events"

I have the same problem...no new event button. The button will show if the <if></if> is removed. But then it will show in all of the forums. Is there a different if statement that could be used to choose the forum that it will show up in?

Good question. I see Evercraft hasn't been on since Oct though, so not sure when we might hear something back. Anyway, it's GOOD to hear it can be made to show up! So it's sounding like more of a permissions problem from what you're saying. Thanxx for the info.

the permission problems may be directed at calendar permissions. If they can edit the calendar then they can edit the event forum etc.

I would love this integrated with a registration mod. I know there is a few out there but they dont mesh will with this mod. I would pay to have that all integrated.

here is a good reg mod:

Great mod, thanks!

Isn't it possible to integrate the "Username HTML Markup" option of vBulletin usergroups into this hack?

Thanks,
Kris

Ok, I must be missing something.

In your screenshots you show the Date and Time above the post. I've installed this, and all it does is post a thread with the info in it, marks the calendar, but it doesn't show the time/place like your screens show.

Is there a particular format?

Marked Installed and running 100%. Best Regards

Very nice ! Just what I needed :) ** INSTALL clicked **

nice! Clicks install

Can anyone help me fix this? thanks

is there a .psd button file out

Strange one here...

I installed this hack last night. I also had installed previously Farcasters Event Attendance and Farcaster's Event Attendance & vb Event Forums Integration, which he released last night.

I had waited to install this hack as Farcaster said his hack wouldn't work with this...until last night when he released Farcaster's Event Attendance & vb Event Forums Integration.

So, installed it last night along with this hack...

Problem now is that when I click on the calendar and schedule an event with a certain date....lets use the latest one I added... December 20, 2006. It adds the event in the forum I set up, but changes the date to November 30, 1999. I've added two other events...and for some reason...it changes the entire date, however...if you look at the calendar...it shows the correct date scheduled.

I'm not real good at explaining myself, so I'll attach some images to show what I'm refering to.

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

My forums is located at: www.f-bodyhideout.com/forums

Update
No matter what date I set in the calendar for an event...it changes them as in my attachment 2 to read 11-30-1999.

same issue here (vb 3.6.4)

in addition to farcasters event attendance and its new integration

I had also sent Farcaster a messager on one of his threads on this. Hopefully they'll figure it out soon.

I've tried reproducing this problem on my test forums by setting up all three types of events: single day, ranged and recurring. In all cases, the date remains correct. Does anyone having the problem with the integration hack and the dates changing have a test site with debug turned on that I can look? The debug information will help me understand where it is getting the date from.

I have it working fine and I have tons of hacks on my board. www.amacny.com

Could it be a calendar thing? I'm using the default Calendar (ID:1).

I'm using the Default Calendar (ID:1) as well and have the following hacks installed:

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?
