v1.0 Add Meeting Place, Time or Game fields to Calendar
 

Okay, I'm fairly new to coding period, never done any before this :)

So the reason I'm putting this in the beta hack is I may have a line or two added in that isn't needed or there just may be a better way to do one of the modifications, as I basically stumbled and bumbled along til I found something that worked ;)

I've wanted to know how to do this for a long time but could never find where anyone had a "how to", so here is my meager attempt at one. :)

What does this hack do? -
This hack allows you to add a field for Meeting Place or Time or your heart's delight (I used Game) to the calendar. The instructions are written in such a way that you can do just one of the three modifications, or you can do all three. I doubted that very many would do all three so I have listed the modifications seperately in the file. If there are a few that want all three, I'll do up some quick instructions on how to do all 3 modifications at once. :)

Here is an exerpt from the install file -

Queries to run: 1 per modification (up to three)
Files to Edit: 1 (/forums/calendar.php)
Templates to Edit: 2 (calendar_enterevent, calendar_daybits)

Each modification has 10 steps to do in the calendar.php. The 9th step is ONLY put in if you have Session's Calendar / Thread Integration Hack located here -

I'm workin to try to figure out how to do the time in such a way that members will see the time of the event according to their timezone. Once I can figure that out (may be a few months ;) ) or if anyone knows how and would like to point the way (which I'd be most grateful for), I'll create a new version of this hack for that. :) In the meantime, the -3- mod, was my bandaid to tide us over. :)

If these instructions are easy enough for everyone to follow and I don't have any unnessecary code then I'll get this moved to the full releases, but would prefer to double check with those more experienced first. :)

Anyway, let me know what you think, if you have any problems I'll try my best to assist.

Thanks to Asterix, there are some screenshots in the replies below. :)

Here's a screenshot of adding a new event.

And here is a screenshot of the thread created by Session's hack with the added code from this hack.

very cool!

I don't need it now but it shall be ported to vB3 !! :)

This one is nice.
Only the cp panel design could be lighter ...

Cyricx, do you have any kind of moderation active on your Calendar for user submitted events? I can't get the hack to work with 3.2.0, just curious as to whether you're using it. I'd add this hack in a flash if I could offer that service again.

-Powerful alarms with custom messages, MP3, WAV, MIDI
-Add event
--Once
--Hourly
--Daily
--Weekly
--Monthly
--Annualy
--Regular
--Special

You don't want much do you? ;)

Sure, only these couple o' things. :o)

and maybe an automatic installer file, this hack takes ages to manually do :(
