Display Grouped Events more sensibly when grouped by event

Out of the box vBulletin displays events that are Grouped by Event by their eventid. Seems kind of dumb as they should be grouped by the starting date or some more logical criteria. This simple change does just that. BTW - I did a search and didn't see this posted so if I missed it mea culpa.

NOTE: This change impacts only the FORUMHOME display. If you are running the Upcoming Events modification for vBa CMPS you can make these same change to the minicalendar.php module.

In index.php find

// ### TODAY'S EVENTS #################################################

if ($vboptions['showevents'])

Replace with

// ### TODAY'S EVENTS #################################################

function compare_dates($a, $b) {
        // only used when sorting events grouped by event id
        if ($a[0] > $b[0])
                return 1;
        if ($a[0] < $b[0])
                return -1;
        return 0;
}

if ($vboptions['showevents'])

A bit further down find

                ksort($events, SORT_NUMERIC);

Replace with

                if ($vboptions['showeventtype'])
                        ksort($events, SORT_NUMERIC);
                else
                        uasort($events, 'compare_dates');

That's it! Almost too simple.

texasasl - It seems there's a typo in the code you provided that would be causing the problem.

		if (!$vbulletin->options['showeventtype'])
                        ksort($events, SORT_NUMERIC);
                else
                        uasort($events, 'compare_dates');

If you remove the '!' things should work right.
