Mini Calendar in a sidebar
 

Hi,

I am trying to find a mod that puts the current months calendar into the sidebar. So far I have found this thread that vector76 shows how to put a calendar onto the index page in vbulletin 3.

I have so far created a Custom sidebar using php with the following in:

---------
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_calendar.php');
$today = getdate(TIMENOW - $vbulletin->options['hourdiff']);
$vbulletin->GPC['month'] = $today['mon'];
$vbulletin->GPC['year'] = $today['year'];

$usertoday = array(
'firstday' => gmdate('w', gmmktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 1, $year)),
'day' => $vbulletin->GPC['day'],
'month' => $vbulletin->GPC['month'],
'year' => $vbulletin->GPC['year'],
);
// NOTE! Hard-coded for calendar number 1!
$vbulletin->GPC['calendarid'] = 1;
$calendarinfo = verify_id('calendar', $vbulletin->GPC['calendarid'], 1, 1);
$getoptions = convert_bits_to_array($calendarinfo['options'], $_CALENDAROPTIONS);
$calendarinfo = array_merge($calendarinfo, $getoptions);
$geteaster = convert_bits_to_array($calendarinfo['holidays'], $_CALENDARHOLIDAYS);
$calendarinfo = array_merge($calendarinfo, $geteaster);


$eventrange = array();
$eventrange['frommonth'] = $vbulletin->GPC['month'];
$eventrange['fromyear']= $vbulletin->GPC['year'];
$eventrange['nextmonth'] = $vbulletin->GPC['month'];
$eventrange['nextyear'] = $vbulletin->GPC['year'];
//$eventcache = cache_events($eventrange);

$minimonth = construct_calendar_output($today, $usertoday, $calendarinfo);
return $minimonth;
----------
and also replace the line $phrasegroups = array('holiday'); with $phrasegroups = array('holiday', 'calendar'); in forum.php.

It does display a calendar in the sidebar, but only Monday - Friday... and I do have show Saturday & Sunday enabled in the Calendar section of the Admin control panel. How can I get it to show Saturday & Sunday as well?

Also, if I enable the line $eventcache = cache_events($eventrange); I get a '503 service unavailable' error and a database error report emailed to me.

I am a novice using php & vbulletin, so any help would be appreciated. I'm sure there are others that would like this feature as well.

Thanks

Dave
