vBulletin CMS Widgets - [WIDGET] Upcoming Events

Another upcoming events widget...
I am really waiting for someone to kickout an integrated calendar/events widget...
But until then, I am using this PHP widget for my events. I saw a few others on here, but they were not quite what I was looking for...

Feel free to use/hack/slash this code for your own use...

Navigate to AdminCP -> CMS -> Widgets.
Create a PHP Type Widget and paste the below code.

PHP Code:

ob_start();
global $db,$vbulletin;
$calendarid="1";
$per_page = "10";
//################################################
$d=date("d");
$m=date("m");
$y=date("y");
$sdate = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("$m"), date("$d"),  date("$y"));
$edate = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("$m"), date("31"),  date("$y"));
$and=" and dateline_from > '".$sdate."'";

$getevents=$db->query_read("SELECT eventid, title, dateline_from from " . TABLE_PREFIX . "event WHERE calendarid='".$calendarid."' $and order by dateline_from ASC LIMIT $per_page");
$count=0;
if(!$db->num_rows($getevents))
{
}
else
{
WHILE ($events=$db->fetch_array($getevents))
{
$dtitle=$events['title'];
$did=$events['eventid'];
$date = vbdate('m-d-y
',$events['dateline_from'], false,true,false,true);
if ($count = 2){$class="alt2";}else {$class="alt1";}
$year=date("Y");
$pagetitle = $f;
$pagetitle .= " ";
$pagetitle.=$year;
$eventbits .="<tr><td nowrap class=''><strong>".$date.":</strong></td><td width='100%' class=''><a href='calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=$did&c=".$calendarid."'>".$dtitle."</a></td></tr>";
$count++;
}
}
echo "<table align='center' width='100%'>";
echo $eventbits;
echo "</table>";
$db->free_result($getevents);
unset($events);
$output=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Alright, at least I'm not going crazy. I did some research at our neighboring events widget mod, and found that they have encounterd the exact same problem, with a solution outlined here.

My GMT is -6, so whenever an event is scheduled to begin at 6pm or later, it displays the date for the following day.

Now, I just need to figure out how to apply this same solution to this mod.

At least there is hope.

how to display something like this ?
Today at 3:00 PM EST + Event Title
and
Tomorow at 7:00 PM EST + Event Title
and
05-03-10 at 4:00 PM EST + Event Title

Thanks !

Hi, is there any chance to show birthdays on this widget?

Thanks!

[SuperGLS]

Is there any way to set how far in advance it grabs events? Like an event in August? Is that too far away?

Also, I wish the colon had a space on the RIGHT instead of the LEFT. Any ideas?

it would be an awesome widget if it would also represent the birthdays of the members.

Did you ever figure it out? I'm stuck at the same place as you. And everyone else please post on vbulletin.com and request this as a default widget of vbulletin... http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...nts-CMS-Widget

I went with the other widget, and modified their code a bit to display as I wanted. I couldn't make this code work for me.

Would be nice if it would look like the one in the attachment.

1. a small calender on the top to see the actual month.

2. then, a row with today's birthdays, if there are birthdays.

3. last but not least, a new row with upcoming events of the next xx days.

Maybe I am not alone with this Idea. Unfortunately I cant code this on my own.
Just to give some useful critic.

VOTE NOW!

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.
