Mini-Calendar in Header by BOP5 (VB 4.x.x)

Live Demo: Mini-Calendar at Qapla.com

This mod adds a small "mini-calendar" on the header of every page, next to the logo image.

It uses the built in "ad location" called global_header1. If you use an ad in that spot (most people don't) you will need to move it prior to enabling this mod else it will not show.

If the Calendar doesn't show and you're on a custom style it is likely the style does not have the ad location coded in. See post #15 in this thread for a fix

There are settings but it is setup to work immediately after installing. Most settings should only be adjusted by advanced users. The font sizes and locations are setup for English day and month names- you may need to manually edit the headcalendar_bop5 template manually for it to look right in other languages.

You can use it as a link to the default vBulletin calendar (default behavior) or not. Also you can choose to disable it in specific styles if need be. Finally you can choose whether it displays the date based off the server's timezone or the user's timezone. (Default is user's timezone.)

New in Version 1.1 - Option to disable the display of the mini-calendar by usergroup. (Primary or secondary will work.)

I don't anticipate there will be much further development on this mod, it was just a simple thing I put together for one of my forums I figured like sharing- it already does everything I can think it needs to do, but if you have a suggestion that adds to the value I will consider it.

Each <div> has a unique id so you can use additional.css to make changes as needed.

You can see the default calendar is "blue" on top. Various other alternative color options are included in the download (red, green, yellow, and more...)

Tested as far back as VB 4.0.8 and as recent as 4.2.0 and expected to work on all 4.x versions.

Please "Mark as Installed" if you use this. :)
Donations Always Appreciated. :up:

You can add with Time?

BirdOPrey5

06-24-2012 12:55 PM

No. It is designed as a calendar, not a clock.

That said, you could edit the "weekday" option in settings to show the time instead of the day of week if you really wanted.

Edit- you can change the setting PHP date() Day of Week to:

Code:

g:i a

For time to show in place of the day of the week.

Are you sure your timezone is set correctly? Are you using the setting for User's Time? If so it should match the time at the bottom of every page- "The time now is 01:58 PM" for example.

You just need to add this code to your header template:

Code:

        <div class="ad_global_header">

                {vb:raw ad_location.global_header1}

                {vb:raw ad_location.global_header2}

        </div>

In the default VB style it is only 2 lines up from the very end of the header template- above the following code:

Code:

       <hr />

</div>

Installed!

Thanks, I like it! To get it to look the way I preferred I did some small changes and used just this portion of the code.

Code:

{vb:raw ad_location.global_header1}

Here's where I moved it to and what it looks like on my site.

LOL... Here you go, version 1.1 released. :up:

Mr_Running

06-30-2012 12:31 AM

Thank You for release 1.1 :)
Works but maybe one slight adjustment if a user is part of more than one usergroup who does not have permission it will not display.

How about using the Primary Users group?

BirdOPrey5

06-30-2012 12:42 AM

To switch it to use primary groups go to Admin CP -> Plugin Manager

Edit the TWO plugins Calendar Setup and Cache Header Calendar...

In BOTH find the line:

Code:

!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, explode(",", $vbulletin->options['bop5hc_groups'])) AND

and change them to:

Code:

!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], explode(",", $vbulletin->options['bop5hc_groups'])) AND

Then save the plugins.

this is excellent, Joe! :)

How can I enlarge it , please?

BirdOPrey5

07-11-2012 11:04 AM

The calendar background image is 60 x 60 pixels so enlarging it will show distortions in the image- and this was never designed to be enlarged.

But if you want to try it can all be done by adding code to additional.css - for example add this:

Code:

#bop5headcalmain {

  height:90px !important;

  width:90px !important;

  background-size: 100%;

}

That will make the calendar background image 90x90 instead of 60x60, but you will still need to do custom code for each of the text lines including the new custom widths and new font sizes, and new spacing in pixels (top values in CSS.)

BirdOPrey5

07-11-2012 11:10 AM

Here is the complete code to go to 80x80... you can customize the font sizes as you want.

Code:

#bop5headcalmain {

  height:80px !important;

  width:80px !important;

  background-size: 100%;

}

#bop5headcalmonth {

  top:18px !important;

  width:80px !important;

  font-size: 8pt !important;

}

#bop5headcalweek {

  top:33px !important;

  width:80px !important;

  font-size: 8pt !important;

}

#bop5headcalday {

  top:45px !important;

  width:80px !important;

}

07-11-2012 12:02 PM

many thanks, Joe! :) One more thing...how can I move it down a notch, please?

WendM

07-11-2012 01:45 PM

OK, for those who want to know how to push the image down to their own height, then do this:

Open Template: headcalendar_bop5

find: position:relative;

then next to it place this: top:20px;

adjust the number to suit your own position!

In general it's good to avoid editing templates because they will need to be reverted if the mod is ever upgraded and changes made to the template.

Installed and tested under v4.1.3 ...

Didn't work on our site .. un-installed ...

I think our custom style and logo is getting in the way as it worked with default style of vBulletin ... :up:

Thanks for your efforts ... :)

Does not work on a Royal Flush Skin.

BirdOPrey5

07-24-2012 10:58 AM

The skin must be missing the ad location in the header.

See Post #15 to put the Ad Location into your header:

Cool little addon for the members :)
I have one little bug tho, when i switch to french, it doesn't show the right info :(

I guess i should had the extra language options?!?

Tks bud

BirdOPrey5

07-25-2012 05:41 PM

The names of the days and months are from the php install, not phrases in vbulletin. I'm not sure what the PHP date() function offers in terms of different languages, I think it should show for whatever language php is installed under.

BirdOPrey5, any option to makes this go in a forumblock sidebar? I think it would be super awesome!

BirdOPrey5

It wasn't something I was planning. I will keep it in the back of my mind if I get bored one day.

                {vb:raw ad_location.global_header2}

        </div>

Using this the calendar shows but there is no day month year.

All times are GMT. The time now is 07:14 PM.
