Title: Countdown To Calendar Events hack
Newest Release: 10.04.2001
Author: mister
What It Does: Counts down (to the day) to any public events in the calendar. plus any private events a user may have.
Screenshot: click here for screenshot
Download: see attached file (countdown1.zip)

Possible Future Enhancements:
  • span across page, in case of 100's of events
  • show only private events, only public events, or all
  • show countdown on actual calendar also


How To Install
1) upload countdown.php to your main forums directory
2) create two templates

countdown_bit
Quote:
<tr>
<td bgcolor="$altcolor"><a href="calendar.php?s=&action=getinfo&eventid=$even t[eventid]"><normalfont>$event[subject]</normalfont></a></td>
<td bgcolor="$altcolor" align="center"><normalfont>$event[eventdate]</normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="$altcolor"><normalfont>$days_till</normalfont></td>
</tr>
countdown
note: all {} values have spaces in them so this forum doesnt parse them...
copy/paste from the included text file if you dont want to search for all the { blah } variables to change in this template

Quote:
{ htmldoctype }
<html>
<head><title>$bbtitle - Countdowns</title>
$headinclude
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function aimwindow(aimid) {
window.open("member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=aimmessage&aim="+aimid,"_blank","toolbar=n o,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,width=175,h eight=275,resizeable=yes,status=no")
}
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
$header

<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="{ contenttablewidth }" { tableinvisibleextra } align="center">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><img src="{ imagesfolder }/vb_bullet.gif" alt="" border="0" align="absmiddle">
<normalfont><b><a href="index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]">$bbtitle</a> { nav_joiner } Countdowns</b></normalfont></td>
</tr>
</table>

<br>

<table cellpadding=4 cellspacing=1 border=0 bgcolor="{ tablebordercolor }" width="90%">

<tr>
<td bgcolor="{ tableheadbgcolor }"><normalfont><b>Event</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{ tableheadbgcolor }" align="center"><normalfont><b>Date</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{ tableheadbgcolor }"><normalfont><b>Countdown</b></normalfont></td>
</tr>

$countdown_bits

</table>

$footer
</body>
</html>

3) create a { nav_joiner } replacement variable. (or just edit that out of the template, and put your own in there... its up to you


4) Enjoy.

Also.. Is there a reason it does not span the whole page like normal. its only spans about 80-85%?

ex: http://forums.yourhostsucks.com/countdown.php

One more thing... :)

You will need to edit online.php or it will look like:
Unknown Location: /countdown.php?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Open online.php:

Around Line 200 you will see alot of "case" statements

Throw this in there somewhere:

PHP Code:
case 'countdown':
      $userinfo[where] = "Viewing the <a href='countdown.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'>Countdown</a>";
      break; 
Then around line 500 you will see more "case" statements

Throw this in there:

PHP Code:
case 'countdown.php':
    $userinfo[activity] = 'countdown';
    break; 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(FYI)

i just it up like that

edit this line:
Quote:
<table cellpadding=4 cellspacing=1 border=0 bgcolor="{ tablebordercolor }" width="90%">
and change the 90 to something whatever you want.

YourHostSucks 10-04-2001 12:22 PM
Much better :)

Thanks!...
Now I just need the board to be more than a week old, and get some events happening...:p

Great hack. What happens if you have like hundreds of events, will it span pages?
