Event Chronology Hack v1.0 · **Released**: 12-07-2004

Event Chronology Hack v1.0

Hack by : cinq
Tested and working with vb3.0.3 (earlier version untested but should work)

WHATS IT DO ?
This hack allows the administrator to maintain a listing of the past events that your site has organized.
This allows you to document past event history in a quick summary, and may be useful for potential sponsors to view.
Such events can be in the form of talks, outings, conventions, auctions, competitons, and so on. You are only limited by your imagination. As this hack uses phrases, you can easily change the context to make it suit your requirements.

FEATURES

AdminCP
Installer script

Admin options

Manage current events
- view all current events at one go
- allows for the following ( edit event - remove event - add event )

Add event has the following fields:
- event title

- event display order (to order how they will be displayed)

Fully template based, alter the 2 templates created to suit your desired layout.

I might carry on work on this in the future but am right now busy with my original articles hack ( which I might release pending a few issues ).

Feature considerations for this hack include :
- past events grouping
-future events grouping
- draft an event ( pending event )
- comments system

how would i go about having this show in a side bar on my site?

cinq · #45 12-21-2004, 06:04 AM

Whatya mean side bar ?

stan68 · #46 12-22-2004, 10:12 PM

i have a side bar on my forum / it has a small calander vbradio ect..
i was just wondering if there was a way to have it output the image or something so i could put it on the sidebar.

so people would be able to see whats up for new events on the forum home.

Yes you can, but it is outside the scope of this hack.
You will need to add code to your forum index.php to query the eventchrono table, and amend the FORUMHOME template accordingly

great hack!
installed!

btw, what about page navigation? i.e: 10 events on one page.

zurih · #49 01-28-2005, 09:32 AM

anyone knows how to get the page split after X events?
links threads...

cinq · #50 01-29-2005, 03:00 AM

I will continue work on this after completing my vbArticles Hack, thanks for the suggestion zurih

Why is the image required? It should be optional.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
