Calendar events on non-VB pages

This extension allows you to pull calendar events to display on a non-VB page. You'll need to change the first few lines to reflect your current site information, and look within the code for the site URL to change to your own. In this script, it occurs three times (DOMAIN.COM/FORUM_ADDRESS).

Needs to be on a page that is parsed for PHP content, either by way of naming the page '.php', or by using .htaccess to add it to the list of files that are parsed by PHP. [AddType application/x-httpd-php .html]

I've seen lots of requests for this, but couldn't locate anyone that had released one, so here goes (mods, if there is one like this, feel free to remove mine..I couldn't find it). The code was gathered from a number of sources long ago and slapped together by me. I don't know the full origin of each bit, so if you wrote any of this and want credit, go for it. In it's current (unpolished) state, it's been heavily adapted by me anyway, and there's room for improvement, certainly. It's inelegant code (an understatement), but works AFAIK.

make the file on here its own php page, then on your main page use a php include statement and it works fine

I've got the same problem ("Unable to add cookies, header already sent"), but only sometimes:

If my page is .shtml and include the hack as a server-side include

<!--#include virtual="/community_events.php" -->
<!-- this is the calendar_on_nonvb.txt file -->

ie http://www.tear.org.au/index-new.shtml

then the code works.

If my page is php and I use a php include it doesn't:
http://www.tear.org.au/index-new.php

I get an error relating to line 6 which is the first line after <title>...</title>. I can move this line, or change it (in index-new.php) but I still get the error referring to the whatever line of code comes after the html <title> tags.

I've found the line in vBulletin's includes/functions.php (line 1607)

eval(standard_error(fetch_error('cant_set_cookies', $filename, $linenum)));

which calls the error message we're getting, but it is beyond me what is triggering it or how to fix it.

Any help appreciated. I really don't want to change my index page back to .shtml. I've probably got 1000 pages linked to it as index.php

Hi!

I am so happy with this, but I've noticed a problem recently. For some reason, only one of my entries consistently gets translated as being a day LATER in the calender feed. I have deleted and re-entered it over and over and it still feeds as one day later. It's strange, because it is only that one event, no matter what date I post it.

Note: DST is in effect for both vBullletin and Subdreamer. Keep in mind that other events are not affected, for some reason.

Any suggestions as to what to fix?

Thanks!

Troy

PS otherwise, WONDERFUL hack here!

i get this error

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/****/public_html/forum/global.php on line 235

any ideas?

[MamboCube]

anyone know how to fix this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/****/public_html/includes/calendar.txt on line 2

this thing is really bugging me now

can anyone help?

--------------------------------------------------------
this is a block of code i have at the top of calendar.txt:

$events = $db->query ("SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP() AS dateline, dateline_from, eventid, title
                           FROM event
                           WHERE calendarid = 1 AND dateline_from >= UNIX_TIMESTAMP()

                           ORDER BY dateline_from LIMIT 10");

this is the second line in the file:

$events = $db->query ("SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP() AS dateline, dateline_from, eventid, title

I guess no one is around to support this thread anymore? Too bad. This is a great mod.

If you note the details above, it's unsupported. I didn't write this, but pulled a few similar bits of code I found to get it working for me and thought I'd share.

@MamboCube, do you have the rest of the code that allows it to connect to the VB database in that page as well? The code you gave is the same as mine, but it's missing the calls to VB...

chdir("forum/");
require('./global.php');  
chdir("../");

(your folder names and paths may be different)

Okay, after hours upon hours of trying to get this to work, it just isn't going to happen.

For those considering using this, my experience has been this:

1. the formatting for the layout is awful and very tedious to alter
2. some events are fed to your non-vb page as being one full day ahead of its actual schedule (I have no idea why or how this happens to only certain events)
3. Recurring events are not fed to your non-vb page

For me, it has been a waste of time.

Very unfortunate... we really need something like this.
