Attachments in calendar events

Why isn't there a category for calendar hacks? Oh well..

This was originally developed for Davelogic, with this hack you can add attachments to your calendar events. The attachment will show up at the end of the event.

In any event you add (single event, recurrent or ranged) you can
add attachments the same way you can add them to a post (ie, a pop-up
will appear asking you for the attachments). Then the attachments
will show in the event once submitted.

The installation instructions are for a non-hacked RC4 board, instructions would vary if you have other hacks intalled, and would be really different if you have any other attachment hacks installed.

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission
Some portions of the code are (c) Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

thanks a lot Kentaurus, should be handy for attaching screenshots of maps to our meetings rather than linking to another site.. Just want to say thanks for all your hacks you`ve come out with some awesome ones that have truly improved the quality of our forums.

wow great heack, i've been waiting for this a long time :D

but i have a small question about the permissions

is it possible to restrict users from posting attachments in the forums but allow them to do so in the calendar?

Nice one, now I don't have to write my own. :)

I agree there should be a calendar hack section. If they have one for profiles and one for private messages they should have one for the much more powerful calendar... There are so many ways the calendar can be expanded people don't even realize.... User dairies/autobio's, record keeping/statistics making etc... etc... use the imagination. This hack gives a good start on added functionality. thumbs up.

will there be also a HTL version of this?

i would love to install this hack but without HTL it will be too much work each update ;)

Hey Kentaurus, care to look at the issues which cause viewing attachments to calendars via the user control panel show up as still "In progress"?

Thank you! Installed in minutes without a single hitch. Very impressed.

Kentaurus, I'm surprised more people haven't installed this hack. I myself came across it a couple of weeks ago but didn't realise exactly what it was, so I didn't bother installing it at the time.

Perhaps if the name of the hack was "Images in Calendar Event".....or...."Add Images to Calendar Events"?

!ping ...

is there an update to come for 3.0.3+ ???
there is not much to change, maybe just the attachement.php file to verify

spence2

08-13-2004 03:59 PM

So, this will not work in 3.03 "as is"?

09-10-2004 03:26 PM

now i installed this. a really great hack :D

i also don't understand why just a few people installed it. this is really a great addon

but i have a little problem:
holidays are shown with all attachments of the whole forum...

anybody got the same problem?

Towards the end of the instruction file it says to modify this part in attachments.php

Quote:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
search for this code:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

$postid = verify_id('post', $attachmentinfo['postid']);

-------------------------------------------------------------------
replace it with:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

if (!$attachmentinfo['calendar']) {
$postid = verify_id('post', $attachmentinfo['postid']);

-------------------------------------------------------------------
search for this code:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

verify_forum_password($foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['password']);

------------------------------------------------------------------
replace it with:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

verify_forum_password($foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['password']);
}

Im using 3.0.3 btw. Now the modification of the query just above it is there and can be modified ok, but i cant find this code for the life of me.

Looked in both a fresh attachments.php
and my hacked version and.....nudda.

Please help

We really should stop meeting like this.

I only just found this hack and given my issues with the missing code in 3.0.3 for the PM hack am wondering if I will have similar problems with this one. Did you have to make any modifications to get this working?

i haven't tried it yet, though. i can't get the next steps done myself.

Actually bit of an update which i havent added. Yes i did get the attachments to work, the picture was displayed. However i had the same problem many others have had....it disappears after a while. Im not sure how long it takes, but probably the few hours mentioned by another poster here.

So basically where back to square one.

Are you sure he wouldn't mind?

I just pm'd him ... so, if he does mind, he can be mad at me.

10-04-2004 04:45 PM

hum.. looks like someone calls me for help.. ;)

yes i'm everywhere, but for commenting usually...

this hack was released by someone (look at the first post of it) and he is the only guy who can have the potential to help on this, as he is the one who created it.

look at my sig to understand why.. ;)

10-04-2004 04:53 PM

Thanks for responding, nexialys!

Too bad. Another "orphaned" hack that will just have to die a slow 3.03 death, I suppose. What a pity.

10-04-2004 05:14 PM

i can tell you that Kentaurus is always on the board... just PM him, i suppose he will at least answer a PM!

So - Does this work with 3.0.3, i would like to attach documents to the calendar.??

no it doesn't.... i have PMed the creator to see if he can update it for vb 3.0.3

WarHorse

10-16-2004 10:56 PM

I will click install as soon as it is updated for 3.0.3
It's only a few lines, i hope it happens soon.

It looks like a really great hack. I have JPG invitations to my site's events. This will be perfect.

The whole package works besides this statement in the attachment.php file.

Quote:

LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "attachmenttype AS attachmenttype ON(attachmenttype.extension = SUBSTRING_INDEX(attachment.filename, '.', -1))
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "deletionlog AS deletionlog ON(attachment.postid = deletionlog.primaryid AND type = 'post')
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post ON (post.postid = attachment.postid)

"))
{

Has anyone made this work in 3.0.3?

sfowler39

10-28-2004 07:59 PM

I have it working on 3.0.3 - the only problem I have is that the user who uploads the file is the only one who can d/l it . Its something to do with permissions that needs to be changed on mine. Is anyone else working on this?

Sorry, I PM you nexialys:
So I will post it here.

You posted the link above - I was under the impression that this would solve this issue of permission rights so I installed it and am still having these issues. Do you have any idea how to resolve this?

But still I get this error after all is said and done.

Quote:

admin, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Let me ellaborate or clarify what I am talking about.

083-Attachements With Style in Events

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This hack is a Merge of Two excellent tries... so i have no real credit... just for the merging itself!

you first need to install two hacks:
Attachments in calendar events and
Attachmentstyle, choose where to place your Attachments.

Then I installed yours.
But through all of this installing and hoping things would work out in the calendar so a person can attach a document to a date for an event - it does attach and the style is good, but apparently no one can download the attachments they only see the attachments (files)in the calendar but after clicking on the attachments they get the error that they dont have permissions to access the files. Even the ADMIN which is me cant d/l it.

Its something to do with permissions or the cookies. I think.

Do you have any idea as to what I can change to allow everyone access to these files that are placed in the calendar, I am not to fussy about the permission level on these items since the website is behind a hardware firewall and on a intranet which is inaccessible to the outside world anyway.

I have 3.0.3 , installed this hack and seem to work fine.. but my attachments just up and disappear.. anyone got ideas? :(

Bacteria Man

02-12-2005 10:35 PM

I just bought vB 3.x a short while ago and this mod was on my to-do list of required features--thanks.

I'm slightly confused though (nothing new there.) I see there's a new version/upgrade for this mod (hack). I don't necessarily care the style support in the other. Is this version fully functional or buggy?

nexialys

02-12-2005 11:08 PM

this hack will not have any update, as i took care of the real upgrades and debugs... you can take the new version and not apply the styles... but if you don'T you will continue to have bugs, like Sweet Evil... these are known bugs. (that's why i released a different version)
