Social Group and Album Enhancements - Social Group Calendars

In short, this modification will allow social groups on your forum have their own calendar area and have upcoming events shown on their group page. Here is a list of features:

1. Upcoming events for a group are shown on the group's page, grouped by day.
2. The group's next event is shown in more detail and can be configured to show the entire event description or be trimmed to a certain number of characters.
3. Members can see events for all the social groups they belong to consolidated into one calendar.
4. The forum home index page can be setup to show upcoming events for social groups.
5. Non-members can see upcoming events for a public group by viewing the group's page if the group doesn't require joining to view content. They will not see events for these groups in the calendar view or on the forum homepage, which will help keep the clutter down.
6. Group's that are moderated, invite only, or must join to view content, will not display their upcoming events to non-members. Their events are also secured, so following a link to an event by a non-member will result in a no permissions error.
7. Group owners can optionally allow members to be able to post events, or they can set their group up so that only they can post events.
8. When clicking on the New Event link from the group's page, the event will automatically be assigned to the referring group.
9. When creating a new event from the calendar view, the creator can assign the event to any group he has permissions to post events. These events will appear in a drop down box on the event.
10. Admins and moderators can be set to be excluded from all filtering and permissions. This allows the administrator an unfiltered view of the social group calendar, and the ability to move or edit group's events as needed.
11. Plays nice with Farcaster's Event Attendance v3.0 (RSVP mod).

Farcaster,

I see you've been here recently, your insights into developing these Calendar mods is some of the most important work I've found on vB.org.

I, unlike most here am pushing the limits of the CMS as native as possible using lots of great mods and NOT using my forums in the traditional manner, more for their RSS abilties to feed my CMS widgets.

This is connected to your other mod and another fantastic mod that creates forum posts parallel to the calendars but it is not 4.2.1 ready either...

If I can help fund this and future calendar mods I would love to help and I'm sure many others would.

There also seems a tendency for smaller mod builders to license their work to the bigger ops...this is a goer...

Farcaster, you seem to have your head around this stuff like no other, we NEED these calendar enhancements. What do I need to do to activate your interest again?

Is anyone else around who is active and can help me with this?

Admins can post events without an issue, but a nonadmin gets this error on the top of their page

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/calendar.php(2164) : eval()'d code on line 67

And the dates don't appear properly for her to add anything to the calendar. Her screenshot is here:

EDIT: This seems to be affecting her only, but it's weird because it has an error at the top of the page for her. I checked other accounts (same usergroups as her!) and she is the only one having this problem.

EDIT 2: We also have a member getting emails anytime a new event is posted in her group. I don't see how to disable this. - This was fixed by subscribing and choosing control panel. By not subscribing it was just emailing anyway.

Awesome sounding mod, but I have had a number of problems getting it to work with 4.2.2. I assume it's not compatible?
