Upcoming Events in Forum Block/Sidebar



Add the "Upcoming Events" in the forum side block
(Added as a few people seem to have issues with other mods the same)

Start by logging into your Admin cp

Goto Forums and moderators - Forum Blocks Manager and add a new Block.
Call the Block Upcoming Events(Or what ever suits your liking)
Set the block to Active
And use PhP Format.

Now add the content below :
PHP Code:
ob_start(); 


//  %d 
$show_count 5

$query sprintf("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."event WHERE visible = 1 AND (dateline_from > '%d' || (  dateline_from < '%d' AND dateline_to > '%d' )) ORDER BY dateline_from ASC LIMIT %d",TIMENOW,TIMENOW,TIMENOW,$show_count);   

$event_get vB::$db->query_read($query); 

$output_bits ''
while(
$event vB::$db->fetch_array($event_get)) { 

     if(
$event['dateline_to'] == 
     { 
         
$format sprintf("On %s",date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_from'])); 
     } else { 
         
$format sprintf("From %s to %s",date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_from']),date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_to'])); 
     } 
      
     
$output_bits .= sprintf(
        <div class = "cms_widget_post_bit"><h4 class="cms_widget_post_header"><a href="calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=%d">%s</a></h4> 
            <p class="cms_widget_post_content">%s</p> 
        </div> 
        '
,$event['eventid'],$event['title'],$format); 


$output $output_bits


ob_end_clean(); 
return 
$output
Then just make sure the template to use is set to Block_HTML

This will then show the latest upcoming event from your calendar with multi-day events shown until the last day of the event.



Update Thanks to dcuellar
What this does is add a picture centered above the upcoming event. The picture is uploaded to 'images/' as event.jpg. You can change that to whatever you want. It also corrects the issue I had with the date. It's now projecting the proper date.


NOTE:
I changed the number of events to display to 1.
I do not need the range on my forum so I did not test that part.
Here you go for those interested (change what's in Red):
PHP Code:
ob_start(); 


//  %d 
$show_count 1

$query sprintf("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."event WHERE visible = 1 AND (dateline_from > '%d' || (  dateline_from > '%d' AND dateline_to > '%d' )) ORDER BY dateline_from ASC LIMIT %d",TIMENOW,TIMENOW,TIMENOW,$show_count);   

$event_get vB::$db->query_read($query); 

$output_bits ''
while(
$event vB::$db->fetch_array($event_get)) { 

     if(
$event['dateline_to'] == 
     { 
         
$format sprintf("On %s%s %s %s",date("j",$event['dateline_from'])+1date("S",$event['dateline_from']), date("M",$event['dateline_from']), date("Y",$event['dateline_from'])); 
     } else { 
         
$format sprintf("From %s to %s",date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_from']),date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_to'])); 
     } 
      
     
$output_bits .= sprintf(
        <div class = "cms_widget_post_bit"><center><a href="calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=%d"><img src="http://www.YourForum.com/forum/images/event.jpg" width="200px" alt="Upcoming Event"/><h4 class="cms_widget_post_header">%s</a></h4> 
            <p class="cms_widget_post_content">%s</p></center>
        </div> 
        '
,$event['eventid'],$event['title'],$format); 


$output $output_bits


ob_end_clean(); 
return 
$output
Thanks go to cybaGirl for this fix:
Anyone who has the date showing as the day before can use this code in there forum block.

PHP Code:
ob_start(); 


//  %d 
$show_count 5

$query sprintf("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."event WHERE visible = 1 AND (dateline_from > '%d' || (  dateline_from < '%d' AND dateline_to > '%d' )) ORDER BY dateline_from ASC LIMIT %d",TIMENOW,TIMENOW,TIMENOW,$show_count);   

$event_get vB::$db->query_read($query); 

$output_bits ''
while(
$event vB::$db->fetch_array($event_get)) { 

     if(
$event['dateline_to'] == 
     { 
         
$format sprintf("On %s",date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_from'])); 
     } else { 
         
$format sprintf("From %s to %s",date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_from']),date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_to'])); 
     } 
      
     
$output_bits .= sprintf(
        <div class = "cms_widget_post_bit"><center><a href="calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=%d"><img src="http://www.YourForum.com/forum/images/event.jpg" width="200px" alt="Upcoming Event"/><h4 class="cms_widget_post_header">%s</a></h4> 
            <p class="cms_widget_post_content">%s</p></center>
        </div> 
        '
,$event['eventid'],$event['title'],$format); 


$output $output_bits


ob_end_clean(); 
return 
$output

Not sure then there whats happening as we have it set to pull all events on the preset day from the main calendar but n saying that we do only run one event at a set date!
Sorry i cant be more helpful but after a quick look around seems there is a few problems with the date discrepancy on vbull for this type of mod...Only other thing you could try would be copy the original upcoming event code and test that.

This one works well. Anyway to have an image above the event in the forum block. Would be nice for it to automatically pull an image posted in the calendar event.

Also, I just noticed that the date shown on the forum block is one day before it is set in the calendar.

Got both of my above comments to work.

Here you go for those interested (change what's in Red):
Code:
ob_start(); 


//  %d 
$show_count = 1; 

$query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."event WHERE visible = 1 AND (dateline_from > '%d' || (  dateline_from > '%d' AND dateline_to > '%d' )) ORDER BY dateline_from ASC LIMIT %d",TIMENOW,TIMENOW,TIMENOW,$show_count);   

$event_get = vB::$db->query_read($query); 

$output_bits = ''; 
while($event = vB::$db->fetch_array($event_get)) { 

     if($event['dateline_to'] == 0 ) 
     { 
         $format = sprintf("On %s%s %s %s",date("j",$event['dateline_from'])+1, date("S",$event['dateline_from']), date("M",$event['dateline_from']), date("Y",$event['dateline_from'])); 
     } else { 
         $format = sprintf("From %s to %s",date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_from']),date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_to'])); 
     } 
      
     $output_bits .= sprintf(' 
        <div class = "cms_widget_post_bit"><center><a href="calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=%d"><img src="http://www.YourForum.com/forum/images/event.jpg" width="200px" alt="Upcoming Event"/><h4 class="cms_widget_post_header">%s</a></h4> 
            <p class="cms_widget_post_content">%s</p></center>
        </div> 
        ',$event['eventid'],$event['title'],$format); 

} 
$output = $output_bits; 


ob_end_clean(); 
return $output;
What this does is add a picture centered above the upcoming event. The picture is uploaded to 'images/' as event.jpg. You can change that to whatever you want. It also corrects the issue I had with the date. It's now projecting the proper date.

What I'd really like to do is replace the code related to the image with a piece of code that uses an image that was either attached or placed between img tags in the event.

NOTE:
I changed the number of events to display to 1.
I do not need the range on my forum so I did not test that part.

Cool. Hope it helps others. I'm talking to some friends of mine to see if the image can be auto generated if an image is included in a calendar event. That way we don't have to change the picture everytime a new event is up. That will also allow us to do more than one event on the block at a time.

Wish me luck.

Update: I'm trying to get this thing to work but I need help from someone who knows how to deal with plugins.
Update 2: Sorry guys, I gave in. I hired a coder to complete this for me. Unfortunately, I cannot post the code here. He may do the custom work for you if you are really interested. Look for the member called Gio~logist.
