Calendar Enhancements - Show Events & Birthdays on Additional Forum Pages

This hack will allow you to display upcomming events and birthdays at the top of the forum display, show thread and/or search pages. It uses the forums normal calendar permission rules, so only authorized users will be able to see your forum's events. The hack will correctly install for both 3.5.x and 3.6.0 version forums.

Installation:
1. Use the Product Manager to import the product file product-rah_events_on_forum_pages_1_1_0
2. Configure the product options as desired under the vBulletin options, "Events on Forum Pages".
3. Use the Style Manager to add the code below to the bottom of the navbar template.

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<!-- today's birthdays -->
<if condition="$show['birthdays']">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_birthdays')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_birthdays" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_birthdays].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$vbphrase[todays_birthdays]
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_birthdays" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_birthdays]">
<tr>
<td class="alt2"><a href="calendar.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getday&day=$today&sb=1"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/birthday.gif" alt="$vbphrase[view_birthdays]" border="0" /></a></td>
<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$birthdays</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</if>
<!-- end today's birthdays -->
<if condition="$show['upcomingevents']">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_events')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_events" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_events].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<if condition="$show['todaysevents']">$vbphrase[todays_events]<else /><phrase 1="$vboptions[showevents]">$vbphrase[upcoming_events_for_the_next_x_days]</phrase></if>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_events" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_events]">
<tr>
<td class="alt2"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/calendar.gif" alt="$vbphrase[calendar]" border="0" /></a></td>
<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$upcomingevents</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</if>
</table>
<br />

Note that if you do not want the events to be shown both at the top of the forum home page and at the bottom, you will need to remove the original tables from the forumhome template.

That's it. You're done. Enjoy!

Please find sample screenshots of the options menu and the forum display page attached. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.

Not functioning in 3.7.1 when one uses the nice ad_on hooks of vbulleting and trying to put into ad_navbar_below the code to escape editing navbar template

But it is ok when one edits navbar

[Deimos]

Would it be possible to choose a specific calendar to display only on a certain forum, or forum(S)?

I really like this product, It is simple and easy, Works thus far in my 3.8.4 PL1 system

What I would like to do as well is add the Events Posting to a Thread, much like the mod Here

It is Buggy as of being in showthread_start and forumdisplay_start hook it generates the error.
PHP Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in showthread.php(112) : eval()'d code on line 104 or forumdisplay.php(111) : eval()'d code on line 111

Disabled.
