hum.. comments on events, does this mean it works like a "new thread for each event", so people doesn't have to create new threads for each event ?! this is great!

EDIT: found a first error;

in the instructions, the first thing is not to ADD BELOW, but to REPLACE WITH in the "in includes/init.php find..."

EDIT AGAIN:

script look solid, but you're not using $vbphrase ... fix this and this will be my next Hack of the Month!!! (ok, we may find some other details to fix before that!)

Is there any screenshot or live demo ?

Yeah, some screenshots would be great...

Yeah, great! Thanks for releasing!

I wish I could see screenshots. What is the difference between this hack and that one

Well, I installed. I had avatar disabled on my board, that gave me a mysql error. Could not go any further. Once I enabled avatar, it became fine. I don't want avatar.

Ahem.....deathemperor.....I am a "she" not a "he".... lol

The hack worked perfectly for me on a development board. I'll be installing it on my live site today and I'll post a link here when its ready.

My site is a small business networking site. The ability for my members to add comments to events in the calendar will encourage them to discuss and arrange to meet at upcoming events.

deathemperor accomplished this hack for me with lightening speed and I did not experience any errors at all when installing....and my board had been hacked to death already. Given his knowledge, I'm sure any errors experienced by others will be able to be rectified without much fuss.

Excellent work deathemperor. I will try and contact some of the members who had been searching for the calendar search hack in particular, and alert them to this thread.

Lee, out of curiosity do you have avatars enabled? Hack works perfect for me, until avatar is disabled...

Lionel, the hack you linked to (New Thread on Calendar Event) creates a thread in a specified forum, whenever an event is added to the calendar.

deathemperor's hack enables users to reply directly to the event in the calendar....so the calendar event itself can become a thread!

This will bring our calendars to life!!

I'll post a link to a live example later today.
