vBulletin CMS Widgets - [WIDGET] Upcoming Events

Another upcoming events widget...
I am really waiting for someone to kickout an integrated calendar/events widget...
But until then, I am using this PHP widget for my events. I saw a few others on here, but they were not quite what I was looking for...

Feel free to use/hack/slash this code for your own use...

Navigate to AdminCP -> CMS -> Widgets.
Create a PHP Type Widget and paste the below code.

PHP Code:

ob_start();
global $db,$vbulletin;
$calendarid="1";
$per_page = "10";
//################################################
$d=date("d");
$m=date("m");
$y=date("y");
$sdate = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("$m"), date("$d"),  date("$y"));
$edate = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("$m"), date("31"),  date("$y"));
$and=" and dateline_from > '".$sdate."'";

$getevents=$db->query_read("SELECT eventid, title, dateline_from from " . TABLE_PREFIX . "event WHERE calendarid='".$calendarid."' $and order by dateline_from ASC LIMIT $per_page");
$count=0;
if(!$db->num_rows($getevents))
{
}
else
{
WHILE ($events=$db->fetch_array($getevents))
{
$dtitle=$events['title'];
$did=$events['eventid'];
$date = vbdate('m-d-y
',$events['dateline_from'], false,true,false,true);
if ($count = 2){$class="alt2";}else {$class="alt1";}
$year=date("Y");
$pagetitle = $f;
$pagetitle .= " ";
$pagetitle.=$year;
$eventbits .="<tr><td nowrap class=''><strong>".$date.":</strong></td><td width='100%' class=''><a href='calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=$did&c=".$calendarid."'>".$dtitle."</a></td></tr>";
$count++;
}
}
echo "<table align='center' width='100%'>";
echo $eventbits;
echo "</table>";
$db->free_result($getevents);
unset($events);
$output=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Hello all.
I hope you dont mind me asking here, i wanted to create an rss feed for my events, i dont know php so its all trial and error for me..

I have edited the code as below which creates afilename.rss, when this file is called it shows an rss feed..

i had issues with some strange characters breaking the page but things seem ok..

I currently have this on my index page as a widget, it cant stay there as it will create to much server work.

Question...

can this be turned into a php file to run as a sheduled task? If so how?

many thanks in advance.

Carl

Did anyone ever figure out how to add a cut off date for events to be displayed?

I'd like to have a 20 or 30 day cut off on displayed events.

[fxdigi-cash]

Thanks for the mod!

I believe it would be more interesting if you added jquery count down till event time... what do you think?
