No support by the author.

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 really like this, and I'm not trying to play down your release with these points...

It could do with having some content from the threads in the actual event, and perhaps a few comments underneath, with a link then leading on to the thread.
The thread also, does not contain the actual date of the event unless the user posts it - something few of my users rarely do as they rely on the calendar's date selection.

Excellent work, thanks a lot!

I also started putting some thought into how we could integrate a little of Kirby's hack here [www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=93074] to allow the date range of the event to be added in a field of the thread, and allow the forum to be sorted then in order of upcoming event.

A calendar search would also come in handy, such as in this hack [www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=91066] - that one also allows comments, not the same as what you're doing here - but it could open up some idea of how to include the thread comments on the calendar page.

I'm really loving how this is looking!

Nope. I'll probably have to wait til the docs come out with Gold and then repost.

The first post of the thread is included in the event.

The plugin forces the date and any custom calendar fields to appear in the subject of the thread.

The settings must be set volatile=yes, otherwise the Product Manager won't catch them.

Ah okay, that's probably my problem. I didn't understand what that setting meant. I'll post a new version soon.

After some help from Kirby, I have edited the script to properly install the admin cp settings. I also added a note about a template change. Feel free to give it a shot.
