Calendar Enhancements - Calendar Advanced Search

I haven't seen a calendar search hack so I thought I'd make one.

This hack will add search functionality for your calendars.
It will add an option for a quick search in the Search dropdown navbar as well as an option to do advanced searching. You can search based on the text in the title/body of the event, the event author, start/end date of the event and the calendars you have permissions to view.

You can see it in the project tools and in the acp.

clientscript/vbulletin_date_picker.js

maybe you could use the google translator to translate my article from vbgo(sorry, but i have no time atm, to release it on vb.org

I use the one in Projects but I do like how yours is presented better

Hmm, a bit different, I don't think it's worth the outside script and files though. I'll switch it to use the internal code when I add the custom fields functionality and ACP calendar selection.

too bad you wouldn't make it a ACP option to use the internal Mini Calendar function or the external one)...

If someone chooses the internal method, they don't have to copy the .js file into the forum's folder - it's optional but I would use the external one I think - I like the one you use now...

Added ACP Permissions feature request to Post #1

The calendar was and is even an important feature in vb, but not known by the develeopment team i think.

Thanks for this even important modification. This should be standard!

OMG!!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I've been wanting this ever since I started using vb back in 2003!

But it may come a little late as the event forums I'm using actually takes the calendar info and puts it into the first post so the regular search picks it up. I'm still making a mental note of this plugin as I may want to use both side-by-side. Do you think there might be any problems with this?

I don't see any conflict but I think you'll have a bit of redundancy.

Thank you. I'll try it on my test system.

I noticed that the Search Results Only Show the Future Events, no matter if I Choose a Past Date on the Advanced Search.

Is it Possible to Include the Possibility to Include in the Search the Previous Events Too?

I Hope You Can Include that Feature on the Mod or Perhaps Indicate us what should we Change and where to Obtain those Complete Results.

Of Course I Voted for this Mod on this Mont's MOTM, I Like a lot this Feature on the Board. :up:

My Best Regards.
