Forum Home Enhancements - Upcoming Events on Top of Pages

This is what I did to make Upcoming Events display nicely on the top of Forumhome:

Added below {vb:raw header}{vb:raw navbar}

<!-- upcomingevents -->
<div id="wgo" class="collapse wgo_block">
<h2>
<span>
Upcoming Events
</span>
</h2>
<div class="floatcontainer">
<div id="wgo_events" class="wgo_subblock">
<ol class="commalist">
{vb:raw upcomingevents}
</ol>
</div>
</dl>
</div>
</div>
<!-- upcomingevents -->

Note that the commalist class reduces the space this takes and displays nicely.

If anyone can help by explaining how this can be added to all pages I would be grateful.

I have no idea Videx, I just tried it after being asked. I don't ever use marquee code myself.

subscribing.. this is what I need as well since I don't use the forumhome page at all

I have had this installed for a while now on my forums home page and would love to see an option for it to display an image also, Could this be done ?

So in that upcoming box it would have the event and an image for that event

As a gaming clan this would be great for my site and with images maybe others would like this ?

You can add an image anywhere you want one using something like this:
<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/your_image.png" alt="Your Image name" />

Put your_image.png in the images/misc directory.

For example:

<!-- upcomingevents -->
<div id="wgo" class="collapse wgo_block">
<h2>
<span>
<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/your_image.png" alt="Your Image name" />
Upcoming Events
</span>
</h2>
<div class="floatcontainer">
<div id="wgo_events" class="wgo_subblock">
<ol class="commalist">
{vb:raw upcomingevents}
</ol>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- upcomingevents -->

Dont think this could actually work but....

What i wanted is somehow when i post an event for say a Call Of Duty game match

It places this event with a Call Of Duty image and the event date/time, etc

Same if i place an event for say Gears Of War, It places a Gears Of War image

Dont think this can be done ??? But thought i would ask anyway

Somehow it needs to fetch an image from the posted event and have an option to include an image

Would pay for this if possible

I'm sure there's a way but not within my ability.

Someone knows any solution for this version ?. I have been watching my FORUMHOME template and don't have those variables {vb:raw header}{vb:raw navbar}.

IIRC just use this code under the existing navbar in 3.8

<!-- upcomingevents -->
<table class="tcat" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="1" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
upcomingevents
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /upcomingevents -->
