hi there i wanted to know if ne one could help.. im using the roll call feature for my calendar... and i want it too post that in my forum aswell for each thread can anyone assist me in doin this

does this hack add calendar custom fields to the post as well ?

Ok. Here is what I did to enable a check box. This will add a check box to the Miscellaneous Options when you are creating or editing a calendar event.

When creating a new event:
1: Checking the check box will copy the event as a new thread in $forumid (defined in the code).
2: Leaving the check box unchecked will only create the event on the calendar.

When editing an existing event:
1: Checking the check box will copy the event as a new thread in $forumid (defined in the code).
2: Leaving the check box unchecked will only update the calendar entry.

Now... if you already created a thread and go edit the event later and check the check box, it does not update the previous thread - it creates a new thread.

Also, if you want to convert an existing event to a new thread, you do not really have to "edit" anything. Just click on edit event, check the check box, and save. This will create the new thread in your forum.

In calendar.php, find the following code:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($calendarinfo['neweventemail'])

And add this code above that. Be sure you edit the $forumid to be the forum you want posts to show up in.

PHP Code:


		
			
//hack New Thread on Calendar Event

if ($_POST[makepost] == 1) { 

//add check box functionality

$forumid = 1; // forumid in which to post 



// Get forum info 

$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid, false); 

$dateformat = "d M, Y"; 

$threadtitle = "[".vbdate($dateformat, $dateline_from,false,true,false,true)."] ".$title; 



// Prepare the thread ... 

$post[title] = $threadtitle;

$post[poststarttime] = TIMENOW; 

$post[posthash] = md5($post[poststarttime] . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . $bbuserinfo['salt']); 

$post[message] = $message; 

$post[username] = $bbuserinfo[userid]; 

$post[iconid] = 0; 

$post[emailupdate] = 9999; 



// ... and create it 

require_once('./includes/functions_newpost.php'); 

build_new_post('thread', $foruminfo, array(), 0, $post, $errors);

//add check box functionality

} 

//hack New Thread on Calendar Event

Still in calendar.php, find this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
        require_once('./includes/functions_databuild.php');

And add this code above it. Be sure you edit the $forumid to be the forum you want posts to show up in.

PHP Code:


		
			
//hack New Thread on Calendar Event

if ($_POST[makepost] == 1) { 

//add check box functionality

$forumid = 1; // forumid in which to post 



// Get forum info 

$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid, false); 

$dateformat = "d M, Y"; 

$threadtitle = "[".vbdate($dateformat, $dateline_from,false,true,false,true)."] ".$title; 



// Prepare the thread ... 

$post[title] = $threadtitle;

$post[poststarttime] = TIMENOW; 

$post[posthash] = md5($post[poststarttime] . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . $bbuserinfo['salt']); 

$post[message] = $message; 

$post[username] = $bbuserinfo[userid]; 

$post[iconid] = 0; 

$post[emailupdate] = 9999; 



// ... and create it 

require_once('./includes/functions_newpost.php'); 

build_new_post('thread', $foruminfo, array(), 0, $post, $errors);

//add check box functionality

} 

//hack New Thread on Calendar Event

Adding the check box:

Log into your AdminCP and go to the Style Manager.

Open the calendar_edit template and find this code:

Code:

<legend>$vbphrase[miscellaneous_options]</legend>

And add this below that code:

Code:

<div><input type="checkbox" name="makepost" value="1">Copy calendar event to new thread</div>

I'm sort of using it as a blog. You can see the results here: http://www.torqued.org/news

I'm glad someone else found it useful. :)

And I wonder why this hack re-invents the wheel instead of just using build_new_post()?

PHP Code:


		
			
$forumid = 1; // forumid in which to post 



// Get forum info

$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid, false);



// Prepare the thread ...

$post[title] = "[".date($dateformat, $dateline_from)."] ".$title; 

$post[poststarttime] = TIMENOW;

$post[posthash] = md5($post[poststarttime] . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . $bbuserinfo['salt']);

$post[message] = "This is an automatically generated thread for the event [b]".$title."[/b].

More information on this event is available on [url=".$vboptions['bburl']."/calendar.php?".$session[sessionurl]."do=getinfo&e=".$eventid."&day=".date("Y-n-j")."&c=".$calendarid."]this page[/url]."; 

$post[username] = $bbuserinfo[userid];

$post[iconid] = 0;

$post[emailupdate] = 9999;



// ... and create it

require_once('./includes/functions_newpost.php');

build_new_post('thread', $foruminfo, array(), 0, $post, $errors);

If you want to be fully flexible, one could make the text as a phrase, forum ID and date format string as a setting :)

I have public and private events and if the event is public I want it to be posted into the public forum. If it is a private event I want it to be posted into the proivate forum. Is this able to be done?

So some code will have to be put in that checks what calendar the event is being posted to, to determine the destination forum for the thread. I'm no coder, but it's a bit of work from the current implementation.
