Mini Mods - Upcoming Events on Top of Pages

Displays Upcoming Events on the top of the pages FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY and SHOWTHREAD.

After numerous failures in creating this plug-in Dark_Wizard created it for me and deserves all credit for this product.

It does not work with Farcaster's Event Attendance (RSVP)

7/8/10 - Replaced download with Dark_Wizard's as mentioned in Post #20 :up:

How so? If you look at the code it pulls x events from the events table where x is the amount of days selected in the options showevents so there is nothing limiting the events and reoccurring has nothing to do with that as long as it is inside the time frame.

Here is an updated version that places a comma after the event with the exception of the last event or a single event.

Enjoy!

That is just a bit stupid. What if people don't want to do it that way, and just want to use your mod to easily create information about upcoming events.

I am sure most will like it, but I will pass for now...thanks for answering my questions.

A step in the right direction. But a little comma doesn't really help.

You have simply misinterpreted the intent of this mod. I'm not sure what you're trying to do that you can't. Your beef may be with the calendar.

So, you have to create events via the calendar, and then those are what is displayed correct? Does it begin to display it the moment you add the event, till the day of the event, or how long from posting the event, does it show?

Where is this located in my admin cp I do not see it so I can edit it ? Got a screen shot ?

[rootrider]

thank you so much. Now, in what way (exactly) does this conflict with Farcaster's Event Attendance mod? Does this mod literally break some functionality of the event attendance mod?

Thanks..

The only thing that can be done in the admincp is to set how many days you see the upcoming events and this is done by vb's option -> showevents.

This doesn't break his mod but his mod has an array issue that will surface when this mod is used along side his and when someone tries to rsvp to an event it shows.

This wasn't to be a released mod only something done for FR. My time is limited to add anything as I am unemployed and doing paid mods for others so I can pay my bills so this means I don't have the time right now to add the functionality you are asking unless you want to bring this to a paid mod....

Lastly, I threw the comma piece in there so it at least looks presentable so I'm sorry it doesn't help you.

Correct. Yes, it may begin displaying it the moment you add the event (obviously you'll need to refresh the page). This setting is set by you - see post #20. I have mine set to 3 days, so Saturday's events will show from Wednesday to Saturday.

You may also find BBR - vB Event Forums useful. It's got a few bugs, but allows you to add all kinds of info about events in a thread rather than trying to squeeze it all into the calendar.
