Add-On Releases - World of Warcraft Event Calendar

What does this Mod do?
[hr].[/hr]

This is a calendar mod that supports events created for World of Warcraft that allows signups for mains and alternates. Data for mains and alternates are pulled from the world of warcraft armory automatically and listed/displayed in a table format based on the style of your current site.

Current Version
[hr].[/hr]

Current beta version = 1.2.7 (recommended)
Current stable version = 1.2.6

Whether you are upgrading or installing from new, you ALL need to download the instructions and read them. There is a section for New Installs and a section for Upgrading. Inside there is also a NEW .CHM file (help file) that will also make it easier to read. I kept the instructions file in there as well but it's renamed to wowcalendar.txt instead. Review wowcalendar.chm if you are able to. It works better.

What is required?
[hr].[/hr]

You will essentially need to perform:

• One product XML import
• Two PHP file uploads
• One Profile addition for User Profiles
• One Template Modification
• Uploading image files to the specified path listed in the instructions

Review the "instructions" contained in the zip file before installing this product.

Creating a Calendar Entry
[hr].[/hr]

When you create a calendar entry, single, recurring, etc. - make sure you enable users to signup (located at the bottom of the new calendar event form) (see the screenshot listed in this post). By default, it should place an automatic signup checkmark in that box. Once you submit, users will be able to signup.

Alternates
[hr].[/hr]

If you have alternates on, alternates can be used to signup with (only if people have added additional characters to their user profile. At this time, the calendar only reads the top 3 lines in the profile box so any more characters listed will not be usable in the calendar.

(i.e. if you have 7 characters listed, only the first 3 will be usable.

Armory Data
[hr].[/hr]

Armory Data is pulled as soon as a "registered" user checks the calendar event. This data is then replaced into the armorydata table for use later on with the signups. Remember to set your server and your locale as well. If your server has two words (ex. Scarlet Crusade) you would input Scarlet+Crusade in the server box. If you play on a US server you would put US in the locale box. If you play on a European Server you would input EU in the locale box. Make sure you set all appropriate options.

Options for your Calendar System
[hr].[/hr]

Go into your vb options and you will find two separate sections for setting options - one is for settings and one is for styles. You can change any options in here. Future revisions will include more substitutions/changes in this area.

SPECIAL THANKS TO:

[name]Farcaster[/name]:
For his initial MOD and ideas which got me started and into customizing the entire calendar. Farcaster's Event Attendance can be found at: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=129088

[name]Gryphon[/name]:
For helping with the original wow parser code and for giving me some tips/advice for working to implement it with the calendar system. In addition, Gryphon, formerly Blackjack, worked with me deeply to allow both this calendar and his current gWoWCharacter mod to be cross-compatible. He also helped with localization. Many thanks!

I'm using vbulletin again.

On my board we have people that are not in our guild (Guild Guests) that often sign up for our events. These folks have a custom user title and are in a usergroup called "Guest".

It would be a wonderful addition if we could display whether the person signing up is a regular member of our guild, or a guest that would like to tag along on one of our raids.

There are some events that we want our first choices on the signup page to be our regular members and not our guests. Choosing between the two is difficult unless you check our members section to see their custom title, or check their usergroup.

Thanks,
Rush

I get this when I try to add myself to the event:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

I'm running the latest forum version 3.7.x

[elricstorm]

I'm upgrading this and adding it for Age of Conan therefore I will most likely work on the 3.7.x version as that is the current one I am using.

Can you share version for AoC with class names etc?

I run a board for the NHL 09 video game's EASHL mode (basically an MMO for hockey, where a team of up to 50 can get together to play online hockey games). I need something to organize team play times. Would this be possible to adapt for this game? Can I have multiple private versions of these calendars that each team can run?

Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

I got the calender in, the option for sign up appears, and the character list, however, once I click to submit my attendance I get this message:

"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error."

Any ideas what this security token may be?

Thanks for the mod. I really hope I can get it to work.

Same problem. Looks like this doesn't work with VB 3.8
Try using this one instead - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=170592
