I tried search the thread, but I wasn't able to find anything. I'm trying to let my members RSVP to an event from outside the calendar. I figrued I would just insert the fields into the database myself, but I'm having a little trouble figuring out what "ocdate" is exactly. I was able to find this part in the XML script and I found that that the ocdate field is inserted into the db by the $rsvpdate variable.

PHP Code:

// If the parameter wasn't passed, and this is recurring, get next event from today.
    if ($eventinfo['recurring'] AND !$rsvpdate) {
        DEVDEBUG('Fetching date from next event date');
    
        $gettime = TIMENOW  - $vbulletin->options['hourdiff']; 

        // find next occurence within one year.
        while ($iterations < 365)
        {
            $addcache = false;
            $todaydate = getdate($gettime);
            
            if (cache_event_info($eventinfo, $todaydate['mon'], $todaydate['mday'], $todaydate['year'], 1, false))
            {
                $rsvpdate = gmmktime(0, 0, 0, $todaydate['mon'], $todaydate['mday'], $todaydate['year']);
                $iterations = 999999;
                DEVDEBUG('Fetched - '.$rsvpdate);
            }

            $iterations++;
            $gettime += 86400;
        } // end while loop
    
    } 


I figured that the $gettime is the time and the hour difference, the getdate function puts the unix time into an array and is then converted using gmmktime. What I don't understand is the if statement

PHP Code:

if (cache_event_info($eventinfo, $todaydate['mon'], $todaydate['mday'], $todaydate['year'], 1, false)) 


and how you're able to find out the next event date (if that matters at all or has anything to do with the "ocdate").

Thanks for the great mod!
