I do need to update the birthday hack to support birthyear as it is on my forum. I am not sure if the calendar will work as is with the previous birthday hack. If not then just turn that option off in the control panel for now.

Why not do this???

Put in reminders but do it this way:

• Build a Reminder Table containing UserID, EventID, Reminder Date/Time
• At that user's login check all reminders for that particular time.
• Forward a Private Message to the user from the system about the Reminder.
• Give the User the opportunity to reset the reminder in the Private message.
• Delete all the reminders after they are sent (hence the reset).

This performs several purposes. One the member gets a visual que via private messaging about their events. Two there are no external resources involved. Three depending on settings the user will recieve an email. Four It only checks for reminders when they log in and only theirs so if one user has a lot of reminders set it won't slow down other users. Five it will work more like established PIM systems like Outlook.

Wluke : we can do that when v2.0 is released with the by default PM's.

I was actually thinking the same thing.

SitePoint won't be getting PM's and Poll's until that time as it is. Those introduce too many factors that can screw up an easy upgrade in my opinion. Great Features, I am just worried about my particular installation of vBulletin and the time I can devote to it.

*bump*

freddie, whats the ETA for the Calendar instructions for 1.13?

My vb is too heavily modified so I dont particularly want to go through the proces of upgrading to 1.14 seeing 2 is just around the corner.

I would however love to get this calendar addon running.

I suggest you just replace the bbcodeparse2 function you have with the equivalent function from v1.1.4. (it is in global.php).

The instructions will then work and you will gain from optimizations from the new function.

Freddie-

How would this work as a stand alone application, apart from vB? I need something exactly like this for one of the sites I'm developing for work. Is this script dependent on much vBulletin code? Maybe I'll download it and take a look at it at work tomorrow, and see what I can figure out myself. Otherwise, my company would probably be very willing to throw some cash your way to help us develop this as a stand alone script.

Let me know what you think.

It just reads info from the user table of vBulletin. Beyond that it is on its own. I could do what you ask but there are several "calendar" apps available though I don't know of any written in PHP. Give me more info via Email.

I installed the calendar hack on 1.1.3 and it works great!

However, I have one small request to add along with the others. Can you add an Email event to a friend" feature!

I would love to see that feature added!

Freddie-

Just installed this on my vB - just wanted to give you a heads up that the date of an event is displayed as "F 31800, 2000" for November 13. I'm using 1.1.4, though I doubt that matters.

As for my other post, looking over the code, I think I'll be able to figure most of it out after playing around with it for a little while at work tomorrow. If it starts taking too much time, I'll shoot you an email.

Jim I'm thinking different versions of MySQL are returning inconsistent Dates as I used a MySQL function to apply the same dat format to the calendar dates that you set in your control panel for thread dates.
