Is there a good calendar mod for vB5
 

vB3 and vB4 had an events calendar that users could post to and which would allow you to pull up upcoming events below your forum. There isn't one in vB5 and presently there doesn't seem to be any plan for one.

Is there a good events/calendar addon for vB5?

Unfortunately there is no calendar function at this time in vB5, stock or addon.

If you need one quick, perhaps try this for now...

I'm resurrecting this thread because I'm appalled there hasn't been either a mod or an update to vb5 to add calendar or event handling abilities.

Is there a timeline for such a feature or is development for vb5 dead all together? It's really making me second guess my decision to back vBulletin.

Thoughts? Suggestions? (Also, an embedded google calendar is NOT a suggestion)

Welcome to vb5

There is no timeline. Very few VB3/VB4 forums had use for calendars and you shouldn't expect it to be added to VB5.

Hire someone to code one for you, that's about the only choice.

I developed a calendar for my vb5 site. Had it up and running for 3 months and not a single person besides me used it. I scrapped the rest of my planned development since nobody was interested. I bought a PHP calendar class license and developed off of that. It wasn't difficult to do and the code integration took about 12 hours to write and debug. After it was up and running, adding features was pretty simple.

I just dicovered that vb5 does have some event api and still has the event table. I haven't played with it yet, but I'm thinking about resurrecting my calendar mod.

I'd be very interested in this if you complete it and release it. We post woodworking events to our calendar in VB4 today.

Is the PHP calendar class code you purchased redistributable or would I need to purchase that to make the potential product you develop work?
