Event Forums

Note: This plugin has been discontinued and taken over here. Installing this plugin is *not* recommended.

The plugin creates a tight integration between a calendar and a forum.

• When an event is created in a calendar, a corresponding thread is created in its forum.
• When an event is deleted, its thread is deleted.
• When a thread is deleted, its event is deleted.
• When an event is edited, its thread is edited.
• When a thread is edited via quick edit, its event is edited.
• Links to event details are redirected to the thread.
• New post links in event forums are redirected to new event forms, except for moderators.
• Advanced editing on a thread is redirected to event edit.

To set up your calendar/forum pairs, look under "Event Forums" in "vBulletin Options" in admincp.

There is also one template change. In calendar_showeventsbit, change:

PHP Code:

<td class="tcat">$eventinfo[title]</td> 


to:

PHP Code:

<td class="tcat"><if condition="$eventinfo[nwt_threadid]"><a href="showthread.php?t=$eventinfo[nwt_threadid]"></if>$eventinfo[title]<if condition="$eventinfo[nwt_threadid]"></a></if></td> 


I run a forum at http://nwtekno.org/ that is heavily oriented to calendar data, so this is useful to me, though I'm not sure how useful it will be to others. Mostly I'm putting this up for critique by people who know more than me.

One thing I'm wondering is how to get the included template (nwteventforums_calendar_showeventsbit) to replace calendar_showeventsbit when installed. Or should I just tell people to copy/paste from one to another?

I'll join you then. I tried, and although the option appears during event creation, there is no ability to actually sign up for it with these two plugins installed.

Great mod, but without event attendance and moderation.. gonna have to pass for now.

When an event is created in a calendar, is it optional that a corresponding thread is created in its forum? I'd like only selected events to create threads, not all events.

What exactly isn't working for you?

It works when you dont moderate :| ... I guess that is rather broken, but it -can- work .... sadly.

Can anyone pick this mod up?

For crying out loud!? :cry:

Pretty please..... I need this integration and would be willing to drop some cheese if all requests are met and coded in.

Current Requests:
- updated to work with 3.5 Gold.
- event moderation (inline and through admin CP)
- attendance hack integration
- event reminders (subscriptions for attendes)
- ability to clear old events, or automotically transfer the event data from the currently filled in event feilds to new threads.

I will start the with an offer of $50. Anyone willing to donate to the pot?

[silurius]

I'll add an additional $20 for the above list, and I'll contribute $50 if some of my bullets from this thread make it in.

[Hanif]

Any updates on this and will this work in 3.5 Gold?

Kind regards,

Hanif

Is this mod now abandoned? I was really looking forward to using it.
