Is there a way to set categories for this?

Let say we have a meets forum where users from all over the world will post up if they want to hold a meet.

The issue we're running into is that not all members frequently check that subforum and thus aren't informed when a meet for their area is organized.

Would I be able to use this mod for that?

Anyone?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

i have it set but they dont show up

OK i have an unusual situation arisen with this mod recently.

It was working perfectly but now if i use the quick reply box to comment on an event, it tells me i haven't typed in enough characters, regardless of how many i type in. Full replying is fine however.

Anyone else have this problem ?

Sounds like you have the limit set for the forum in forum options.

I haven't altered the limit so its at vbulletin default. But it really doesn't matter how much the limit is, the quick reply box throws up the very same error.

works with 3.6.6?

it would be nice if someone could built the datepicker in this one ;)

I have this working on PHP5 and MySQL 5. Check your code again to make sure you followed all the directions.

It was installed and already working great, before our host moved us to a new server that used php5/mysql5

no code was altered or changed by me after the move. The mod, just caused db errors after errors.

I even deleted it, completely removed it, and re-installed it.

Same problems.


The good news is, my partner and I just got ourselves a nice quad cpu xeon dedicated server, that has php4 and mysql 4 on it.

after the move of the vB forums and db to the server, I will re-install this wonderfull hack.

thanks for the help. This site is great.:D

yes can we upgrade to 3.6.6 ? or not ? thank you.

Had the same problem with the first reply to an event. I immediately tried it again and the Quick Reply worked fine the second try. Quick Reply also worked for another account (usergroup 2), but it was the 2nd or 3rd reply. I just posted a note to use the Post Reply button or be prepared for an error (not that anybody reads my notes :eek: ) A bit of a pain, but not worth removing the mod!

To tanyeri24 and maroceve: Installed and working on 3.6.7

Installed on 3.6.5, going to upgrade to 3.6.7 next couple of days...I have a couple of "how do I"s:

A) I want to have the events threads post as locked -- the purpose of this thread for me is to have a thread tied to an event which is used AFTER and ONLY after the event for discussion of it. I did see an idea for some kind of timed forum move...we could do that, although it would be annoying to have yet another forum, if anyone knows how could they post? Either of these solutions would be fine really.

B) I am using an event attendance mod, WoW one, and I don't necessarily need...integration as much as I need them to not conflict. How can I set it so that clicking on the event does not forward to the thread? Integration would be nice, forwarding to the related thread, or putting signups at the top of the thread, that would be really awesome, but I would settle for just having prior functionality + automatic thread creation at this point.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

I believe you can do this by going into the Plugin Manager and disabling the plugin "redirect links to individual events to their threads instead"

I'm going to be giving this a try on 3.6.7 in the next few days.

I love the idea and have a perfect use for it. I'll return with my results.

thanks

anyone installed this on 3.6.4 and above ?

i guess it works :)

well I isntalled this on my 3.6.7 and ran into a little problem.

When I make an event and submit it I get an error.

On the first submit it just turns into a blank page. From there I go back and re-submit the event. Once i do that it says it has an invalid title.

When I go back ot the forum the event has been made into a new thread. It's just a little too annoying for me ot use currently. Hopefully this thing will get an update at some point.

exactly the same for me. blank page, just a thread. Nothing in the calendar.

Any ideas? I upgraded from 3.5.x to 3.6.5 and then ran the xml for the upgrade. maybe it needs a full install?

I had to do a full install to fix my upgrade issue. It runs well on 3.6.7.

Excellent ! INSTALLED on 3.6.4

i have a question. I have set it up to where all members can post without being moderated. I have checked usergroup permissions, calendar permissions, and the corresponding forum permissions. Yet each event they post is still getting moderated. Any ideas?

Oh and then when I do approve it, even though it is the latest threat within that forum and shows to be, on forum home it doesn't show it as the latest thread.

Running 3.6.7

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out

Hello everybody,

I just installed the mod and everything is up and running smoothly :) thanks for the hack ;)

Now, I've a question and hope somebody can help me. Please see the attached image to this message. Can I do it for my events forums?

Also, I'll like to know about pros and cons anyone can tell me about having the images displayed as I want.

Thanks in advance for your input.

I have different calendars/forums for different citys. I would like to show the calendar name (city) next to the calendar link on forumhome.

Anyone can give me a hint?

Does anyone know if it possible to use an RSS feed to create the threads using this mod?

I have a lot of events that need adding, and doing them all by hand is going to be impossible.

This may sound newbish, but how do I add custom fields? I would like to utilize %custom for the Thread Title Format settings. Thanks!

After about 30 mins of snooping, I figured it out.

Simply edit the calendar within the calendar manager. :D

could this mod combine with Thread Prefixes ?

hmm
will there be now updates?

Is there a way to change the event type, "Single, All Day Event", "Ranged Event", "Recurring Event" once the event has been posted?

Had anybody figured out a way to show the list of upcoming events on ALL forum pages ?!

I need to show this list right under the HEADER image, above the Navbar but it can go under the Navbar if necessary....

At the moment, fiddling with the code and replacing it in the different templates the list WILL appear on the forum home but elsewhere all I get is a grey bar and the event information is missing.

Any ideas?

Hi,

you´re modifications is quite good. I mean it´s just good work! Go on! ;-)

Kahuna,

You can change the default by going into the Event Forums options and changing the setting "Default Add Event Type"

What do I do? I get this error message when making new events

I can't get the newevent.gif button to display.
FORUMDISPLAY has been edited. Show new event button = yes.
The if statement is not working.
Running on v3.6.7

SOLVED: Summary needed to be checked as I read earlier. Why?? I don't know.

Bu still have a porblem that vBadvanced appears in the title until I delete it.???

Works perfectly!!
Thanks Evercraft :)

Can I change design like this?
Who can help me? Please.....


Thanks :)

In my FORUMDISPLAY template, I have two phrases as described, exactly the same as the one to "Find". Should I add the addtional line to BOTH? :confused:

Thanks :)

Regards,
Badger

Edit: added it to both as a guess and it works, except the button is in the vBulletin default color scheme?

So, by activating the New Event button, the old "New Topic" reverts to permitting people to create new "regular" threads in this forum?

With the New Event button not activated, the "New Topic" button changes its behavior and onlt permits new events to be created, which get mirrored in the on-line Calendar?

Also, any idea why the New Event button provided, doesn't match and blend in with the skin we're using? It appears as the standard vBulletin default colors?

Thanks for your feedback.... :)

Regards,
Badger

Awesome hack. :D

Running 3.6.7 here with the new event button enabled.

Of course, that's the default VB button. To match your style, you have to design your own button.
