my first hack, enjoy...

Today's Events on Main Forum Page

Description:
Lists today's events on the main page, under the Online Users & Birthdays (both public, and private events).
*Version 2 adds the ability to list either bulleted or linear

*Version 4 fixes a type-o on line 47ish, and adds one bit of instruction if using the bulleted list, rather than linear

Files to Add: todaysevents.php
Files to Edit: index.php
Templates to Edit: forumhome_loggedinusers
Templates to Add: calendar_privateevent_linear, calendar_publicevent_linear

demo??

cool hack

Martz 06-25-2001 02:25 PM

Nice concept, and I am sure a good hack also :)

@ Balbanes: what do you need a demo for? There is a screenshot and description showing that it lists todays events in the calendar in a similar fashion to online users/birthdays.

mister 06-25-2001 02:26 PM

i just added the screenshot after he requested it :)

BradC 06-25-2001 02:49 PM

Looks interesting I might have to try this out! :)

thanks!

TigerLily 06-25-2001 03:11 PM

Thank you so much for making this hack!!! I was using a piece of code from Wajones' vbportal a while back, but couldn't get it to work after upgrading to 2.0.0 (I'm now on 2.01) I'm still learning PHP, so I'm sure it was a user error on my part!

Thanks so much!
TigerLily:)

TigerLily 06-25-2001 03:28 PM

Question: Is there a way to remove the bullet and have the event on the same line as "Today's Events"? I use mine at the top of my forums, and would love to save as much space as possible.
Thanks again!
TigerLily:)

mister 06-25-2001 04:13 PM

Yea.
I just did this real quicky, and used the same template used in the calendar. I may change this for v2.0 just because it will save alot of space.

Steve Machol 06-25-2001 04:22 PM

Thanks Brandon! This is just what I've been looking for.

One question: I assume the 'private' events will only show for the owner of that event, correct?

mister 06-25-2001 04:31 PM

that is correct.

private events show only to their owner
