Help converting a hack for a vBadvaced module?

[JenniferK]

I am using Evercraft's VB Event Forums hack (great hack!) I am trying to make the summary of upcoming events show up in a vBa CMPS module and need some help.

I have created the module and template to make the display, but the event area is blank. I have figured out that is because the plugin that works to put the event summary in the forum will not work in a CMPS module. I have tried looking at it to see if I could figure out myself how to do what I need, but it is beyond my abilites. Evercraft is not familiar with vBa CMPS so couldn't help with this part, but did let me know that I "need the plugin code in Show up and coming events for a specified forum id to be run on that page. Its done using hooks into the original vb files, but as far as im away, CMPS doesnt support hacks so you'd have to edit the CMPS file to display it. Basically that code generates what goes in the summary box."

Can somebody please help me? I am getting ready to launch my site and it is a community site, so I really need to have a Community Events module - I want to avoid having to enter them manually if I can at all help it.

Why not just use the upcoming events module block that is on vbadvanced.com? They even have a combo calendar and upcoming events module.

Thanks for reminding me that is available. I am going to use that for now until I can get what I'm looking for above (or permanently if I can't get it). That hack will work for my needs - I would just prefer to have it display the way the summary in Evercraft's hack does. I tried to play with it a little to make it display like that, but no luck. ANyway, thanks again for the reminder!

I'm not familar with that hack - can you a post a link to it?

The link is in the first post - VB Event Forums. That hack creates a summary of upcoming events in the forum of your choce. I just wanted to CMPS module to display the same way
