Forum Home Enhancements - Upcoming Events on Top of Pages

This is what I did to make Upcoming Events display nicely on the top of Forumhome:

Added below {vb:raw header}{vb:raw navbar}

<!-- upcomingevents -->
<div id="wgo" class="collapse wgo_block">
<h2>
<span>
Upcoming Events
</span>
</h2>
<div class="floatcontainer">
<div id="wgo_events" class="wgo_subblock">
<ol class="commalist">
{vb:raw upcomingevents}
</ol>
</div>
</dl>
</div>
</div>
<!-- upcomingevents -->

Note that the commalist class reduces the space this takes and displays nicely.

If anyone can help by explaining how this can be added to all pages I would be grateful.

If you still need to post a problem, we'll need more info. First, assure us you're using the default style and have tried disabling all other products. Then at least give us a link.

Ok Videx i will give that a whirl :up:

vB has been taking their sweet time developing a corporate solution for this Calendar Widget. It has been logged in Jira, but there have only been TWO votes so far and it appears to have been deprioritized.

Please log into Jira and VOTE FOR THIS! It will only take you a minute: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-7656

A number of customer have asked for a calendar widget that will access the current site calendar. That is distinct from the current cms calendar widget that displays dates on which articles have been published. Wayne also feels this should get a high priority.

I've added this but the headerbar isn't displaying. Any ideas where I could be going wrong? - www.t-muscle.co.uk

Woot! Thanks for this. My writing group REALLY uses this, now they can't miss an upcoming event because of not scrolling down.

not sure if it will show to unregistered guests but here's my link:
http://dawnsistersweyr.net/forum.php

I saw where someone got it to scroll left to right marquee style... is there a way to scroll it top to bottom (like the words at the beginning of Star Wars)?

I'm going to see if i can figure out how to make it show on other forum pages as well... I have an idea......

[Eq4bits]

If you only want the top upcoming events to show to the usergroups as set in vB Settings>Options then add

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

at the beginning
and

</vb:if>

at the end

Anybody know what the phrase would be for upcoming birthdays?

[Eq4bits]

It would have to be in a separate 'box' but this should work: (you could replace 'Birthdays' with 'Happy Birthday To:' or whatever you want )

PHP Code:

<!-- birthdays -->
<div id="wgo" class="collapse wgo_block">
<h2>
<span>
Birthdays
</span>
</h2>
<div class="floatcontainer">
<div id="wgo_events" class="wgo_subblock">
<ol class="commalist">
{vb:raw birthdays}
</ol>
</div>
</dl>
</div>
</div>
<!-- birthdays -->

English : Thank you !
Turkish : Teşekkürler (:
