Forum Home Enhancements - Upcoming Events on Top of Pages

This is what I did to make Upcoming Events display nicely on the top of Forumhome:

Added below {vb:raw header}{vb:raw navbar}

<!-- upcomingevents -->
<div id="wgo" class="collapse wgo_block">
<h2>
<span>
Upcoming Events
</span>
</h2>
<div class="floatcontainer">
<div id="wgo_events" class="wgo_subblock">
<ol class="commalist">
{vb:raw upcomingevents}
</ol>
</div>
</dl>
</div>
</div>
<!-- upcomingevents -->

Note that the commalist class reduces the space this takes and displays nicely.

If anyone can help by explaining how this can be added to all pages I would be grateful.

Open forumhome and paste it under the {vb:raw header}{vb:raw navbar} tags

Read through the thread to find the change of time fix. It does work.

This is so VB3.. Need to start thinking VB4.x. We need to get away from putting everything on the ForumHome and put it on the CMS. That's where stuff belongs. Including recent threads, etc. A Forum is a forum.. all this other stuff just makes it look trashy and cluttered.

So now there's a right way and it's your way?

I won't really disagree, as I wouldn't put "recent threads" on forumhome myself, but I do put it out on the CMS. But I think it's all about options. Being a community forum, our calendar is pretty important, and I'd like the option of having it in both places. Right now someone has to click through to the calendar to see what's on for today and that sucks.

The calendar is critical and having the events on top of the forum is the only way to go for my site, my users love it. Anyone who doesn't like it shouldn't use, life's like that.

Looks good, I've tagged it until I do this, but wanted to say thanks for sharing!

Do I customise any of the code?

[Front Range]

You can any way you'd like but I suggest starting with what I have to see it first. I have it reduced to consume as little space as possible.

It'd be cool if we could get upcoming events to appear on the sideblock as well

I agree, it's my hope someone can show us how to do that.
