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:

100% accurate but I figured other people could benefit as well. It's not perfect, won't satisfy everyone's wants but it's good as it stands for anyone who has event based forums. If you like it send a donation Dark_Wizards way. If you don't like it, don't use it. If want additional features hire him to do it for you.

okay.. can you or FR detail a little more about what should be changed in the templates to alleviate this? .. or is this not possible? I seem to remember a mention of something about this originally, but I can't find it now.

Thanks guys..

Go to your Plugin Manager and make Upcoming Events on Top of Pages [Auto Templates] inactive.

The manually edit each of these templates: FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD by pasting the code below {vb:raw navbar}

<!-- upcomingevents -->
<div class="block" style="border:{vb:stylevar blocksubhead_border}">
<div class="blockhead">
<h2>
<span>{vb:rawphrase upcoming_events_for_the_next_x_days, {$vboptions.showevents}}</span>
</h2>
</div>
<div class="blockrow">
<ol class="commalist">
{vb:raw upcoming_events}
</ol>
</div>
</div>
<!-- upcomingevents -->

Note: It may be just my style but this turns some text bold in FORUMDISPLAY

Probably not the right way to do things but it works: get rid of the bold in FORUMDISPLAY (if it shows up that way for you too is just add </b> before <!-- upcomingevents -->

Works perfectly for me, nice mod! I also made a little addition because adding events is burried down in the calender, that will show a "Add Event" button right across from the current showing dates:

open the .xml file in a text editor

Directly below this (Line #46)

<span>{vb:rawphrase upcoming_events_for_the_next_x_days, {$vboptions.showevents}}</span>

Add this:

<div id="calendar_nav">
		<a id="neweventbutton" class="textcontrol" href="calendar.php?do=add&amp;type=single&amp;c=1">Add New Event</a>
	  	</div>

Save, reupload the product, overwrite the existing one. Gives you something that looks like this:

My members post a ton of rides and gatherings in the local riding forum, but they don't get near the views that they should, Hopefully between this mod and my little addition that makes it easier to add them, it'll increase that a bit.

Very good idea HondaATC!

I changed the location to inside the <h2><span> tags for my site but I know my users will really appreciate the button - anything to make things easier!

Thanks!

BTW, there's something wrong with your navabr.

[HondaATC]

Yeah...thats compliments of the vB support team. It doesn't show in Firefox or IE, but does in pretty much every other browser. I've disabled all the hacks and reverted every single template and it still happens. Spent many hours on it, only showed up after I went to 4.03 No one can tell me what it is. If anyone happens to find out, let me know

[Front Range]

Bummer, I use Chrome so I see the the bad stuff. Another reason I won't go to 4.0.3

Enjoy!

I sure could use the comma but when replacing the original with this it doesn't show my events. Can I edit the comma in instead?
