Event Forums

Note: This plugin has been discontinued and taken over here. Installing this plugin is *not* recommended.

The plugin creates a tight integration between a calendar and a forum.

• When an event is created in a calendar, a corresponding thread is created in its forum.
• When an event is deleted, its thread is deleted.
• When a thread is deleted, its event is deleted.
• When an event is edited, its thread is edited.
• When a thread is edited via quick edit, its event is edited.
• Links to event details are redirected to the thread.
• New post links in event forums are redirected to new event forms, except for moderators.
• Advanced editing on a thread is redirected to event edit.

To set up your calendar/forum pairs, look under "Event Forums" in "vBulletin Options" in admincp.

There is also one template change. In calendar_showeventsbit, change:

PHP Code:

<td class="tcat">$eventinfo[title]</td> 


to:

PHP Code:

<td class="tcat"><if condition="$eventinfo[nwt_threadid]"><a href="showthread.php?t=$eventinfo[nwt_threadid]"></if>$eventinfo[title]<if condition="$eventinfo[nwt_threadid]"></a></if></td> 


I run a forum at http://nwtekno.org/ that is heavily oriented to calendar data, so this is useful to me, though I'm not sure how useful it will be to others. Mostly I'm putting this up for critique by people who know more than me.

One thing I'm wondering is how to get the included template (nwteventforums_calendar_showeventsbit) to replace calendar_showeventsbit when installed. Or should I just tell people to copy/paste from one to another?

Its great for integration of the Calendar and Forum. And it works well in 3.5.1 - at least unless you do like I did. Till I tried to add the holiday everything worked perfectly. Tho I recommend to download Evercrafts Fix and update to 1.0 which is somewhere buried in this thread.

Um, it seems as though the money pool for the hack to be continued is at over $240 now... That may not be enough to pay rent, but I would think it would be enough motivation to update the pluggin and polish it off, atleast for the sake of the people that need it if anything.

You can find the (nearly) perfect Fix here:

So has anyone taken this over yet? I would love to get all the features that everyone has been mentioning over the course of this thread.

Thanks, Endquote & Evercraft!

I'm sure this has already been posted, but integrating the event attendance hack with this would be pretty sweet.

Also a cp option to edit the format of the post title would be great (so not having to code hack) along with a default event type entry (like - all day, range etc...)

I've installed Event Attendance but it seems that the author is gone away since noone is answering so I ask here hoping that someone can help.

What I need is that when someone enroll for an event, he can also indicate how many peoples will attend this event so, I think, I would need a simple popup or text box where the user can insert a number.

I've checked the code of EventAttendance.xml but I'm not able to understand.

Someone can help me? I don't think I'm the only one that could find useful this hack... :nervous:

[djsydeburnz]

can someone help me out with a bit of the code for display properties.

I would like the posting title to look like this:

Event Title | Event Date | Custom1 | Custom2

What a night | 05/05/05 | All Ages | Kansas City, MO
