Calendar events on non-VB pages

This extension allows you to pull calendar events to display on a non-VB page. You'll need to change the first few lines to reflect your current site information, and look within the code for the site URL to change to your own. In this script, it occurs three times (DOMAIN.COM/FORUM_ADDRESS).

Needs to be on a page that is parsed for PHP content, either by way of naming the page '.php', or by using .htaccess to add it to the list of files that are parsed by PHP. [AddType application/x-httpd-php .html]

I've seen lots of requests for this, but couldn't locate anyone that had released one, so here goes (mods, if there is one like this, feel free to remove mine..I couldn't find it). The code was gathered from a number of sources long ago and slapped together by me. I don't know the full origin of each bit, so if you wrote any of this and want credit, go for it. In it's current (unpolished) state, it's been heavily adapted by me anyway, and there's room for improvement, certainly. It's inelegant code (an understatement), but works AFAIK.

LBmtb, have you tried moving the test.php file into the forum directory. remembering to change

chdir("forum/");

to

chdir("../forum/");

[LBmtb]

Same error.

Lol...wish I'd read this before the PM...
Disregard my forum signup, would you? Details in the PM.

I got it working!

This line

$events = $db->query ("SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP() AS dateline, dateline_from, eventid, title

                           FROM event

                           WHERE calendarid = 1 AND dateline_from >= UNIX_TIMESTAMP()

Looked at the wrong table because it didn't include the prefix to the table. So I merely added the prefix to the event table and changed the calenderid to the calender I wanted.

$events = $db->query ("SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP() AS dateline, dateline_from, eventid, title

                           FROM vb_event

                           WHERE calendarid = 2 AND dateline_from >= UNIX_TIMESTAMP()

and it worked. Here's the link to the test page

Good for you, LBmtb! Enjoy it...

Does this work with recurring events also?

Has anyone tested this out in a .html file instead of PHP and if using a .htaccess file to parse PHP code in a .html file as suggested in the first post in this thread, does that cause any additional server load?

This is one step ahead regarding my dream. To have also a minicalendar show up in non-vb pages. I'm talking about the mini calendar that is shown in the bottom of the calendar page. Do you think it's possible to have it in a non-vb page as well?

I'm currently trying to get this working on the forum home (without) having the use of Frames or iframes. Anyone has achieved it?
