Move 'Upcoming Events' to the top of your Forum Home

simple, i know.. but it was just requested in mod requests, so i figure i might as well put it here.

in your FORUMHOME template, find and remove:

<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]"><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>

In the same template, find $navbar. Below, add:

<!-- begin upcoming events -->
<if condition="$show['upcomingevents']">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="thead" colspan="2">
			<a style="float:$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]"><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></table><br />
</if>
<!-- end upcoming events -->

You forgot to add this in your first edit.

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['upcomingevents']">

fixed. thanks!

Thanks for sharing your mod. If you don't mind, could you put your instructions in a text file and attach it rather than having the instructions in the thread? It makes it easier for members to refer back to a modification if they need to install it again for whatever reason. Thanks.

Will this work for 3.5 Gold?

Thanks!

Some of the variables will probably vary for 3.5, but if you try make sure you make a backup of your template before doing so.

Stupid question:

If i take that code niblet (the <if statement en toto) I can place it as I liek on that page. Sweet.

Our members have asked that the current events box also be displayed when goign to the main calendar page since it makes a nice summation.

I have played with that but I cannot get it to show. Does the calendar.php lack something this is calling?

[lvnloud]

bump for BP. I'm curious also.

[Blturner]

Can I do this in 3.6.4? I can't seem to find 'FORUMHOME'

[Blturner]

Found it. Thanks.
