Calendar Enhancements - BBR - vB Event Forums

I will no longer support vBulletin because of IB and the agile development, and they are not fixing bugs like they should. Instead they add bloat.

Sure there was... I always ran both normal threads and events. The link changed from newthread to newevent to track each.

This is caused by a bug in vBulletin 4.0.1 I posted it in the thread somewhere.

The event details aren't appearing. I checked in mod and it says:

However, my SHOWTHREAD isn't modified at all in either my custom style or my default style. I checked the default style anyway and it's not being displayed there either.

Also, Where in SHOWTHREAD would I put $lv_vb_eventforums_eventdetails in order to try and fix this?

What event details? If you are talking about the event summery it is no longer attached in this mod.

It also looks like the special variable $lv_vb_eventforums_eventdetails (or {vb:raw lv_vb_eventforums_eventdetails as it is in 4.0) doesn't work right. Check of the code shows it's not being rendered into the SHOWTHREAD template.

FIX:

Find:

$lv_vb_eventforums_eventdetails = $lv_vb_eventforums_eventblock;

Add:

$templatevalues['lv_vb_eventforums_eventdetails'] = $templater->render();
  vB_Template::preRegister('SHOWTHREAD', $templatevalues);

Then I stand corrected, I never saw that option or had it working that way. =)

No there is no way to have the forum work with the calendar and with out make a separate forum.

No, I am talking about having a post new thread button and a post new event button so an event forum remains a normal forum as well and let's the user decide what they want to post.

It is not fessible to delete the old thread and create a new amended thread :S


You will be providing a edit option for date/time ?

You edit the event its self to edit the first post. The first post is the event.

I have one thing though that I'd like to see added.

Thread Prefixes.

I run a gaming website and all game events are posted to a single calendar. I'd like to be able to specific which game the event is for by using thread prefixes so they are easier for people to sort/find.

Other than that, this is working great!

I will look into thread prefixes working with this.

No it will not work once the forum is tied to the calendar.

I'm refering to the part in an event thread where you would click the RSVP and such. My events are showing up as normal threads I guess.

I can create new events just fine, but they aren't displaying as much of an event.

Example SS attached.

Ohh and the other two links don't appear correctly either. Maybe an upload issue on my end, I'll try reuploading.

EDIT: Nevermind on the reupload, was only the XML, I was thinking there were other files. So, I don't know what's wrong. =)

Are you sure? I was able to to get this working by simply wrapping the newthread code into a function. Seems to work fine?
