Mini Calendar from vbPortal

As requested, here is the small calendar from vbPortal.
I want to also give credit to one of my users "rabidmoogle" for help in optimizing my original hack.

It's a standalone file, with the template included for testing.
1. Create a new template called "small_calendar"
2. Cut and paste the included template from the script into the new template.
3. rename the cal.php.txt to cal.php and copy it to your forums directory and run to test.
4. Cut and paste the code between the <?php and ?> to the location of your choice to use in another script.

Well,
it seems I do have some other problems.
I'm gonna have to backup through the stagged backups
I've made, and see if I can see where the other problems
are coming from.

Just installed this hack on my newly started Kiwi Biker forums . It going to be an excellent tool for help users keep track of current and furture motorbike events.

Hazaar to wajones

Hi man,

I have seen that you had Event today and Coming events listed at the bottom of the small calendar. Could you tell me how you do that? Mine just have the calendar :surprised:

[pdatoon]

Anyone?

Guys, how is it with 2.3?

I am curious, what does this error message mean (what did I do wrong with my install?) if anyone can help it would be great.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: vbdate() in /home/lochlain/domainname/docs/TMP3lgljgj6wr.php on line 141

Just installed this (w/ myvbindex) - pretty cool hack. Just wondering, where it shows today's event underneath the calendar, is it possible to have that text change when you rollover other dates that have events posted? Like, let's say it's Thursday, and Thursday is user BoBo's birthday. On Friday, someone has posted a calendar event for BoBo's birthday party. If you rollover Friday's date, the text changes from "Today's Events: BoBo's Birthday!" to "Events for Friday, June 27th: BoBo's Birthday Party"...

...you get the idea..

Ok its been working fine with myvbindex for a while now but I would like to change it so instead of showing todays events, it shows upcoming events (and I specify in my php say the next fortnight).

I've tried to do this myself but to no avail, anyone fancy working with me on it? I think it would be a good change to the mod (if wajones is too busy to help of course).

Thanks for the mod wajones!

I installed this calendar on a site I am building and I love it! It was just the ticket I needed....

But, I did notice that many of my errors (doin allot of mods), all have this "// End of vbPortal calendar script" showing up, even though the script may not even be called at the time. Anyway, that I can live with and so I forgot about it.

You can check it out by simply going to http://www.basementsystems.com/dealerarea/. You get an error because the index.php file needs a specific template in order to work. The actual error is no template for the index.php to use, so blank page. But why the cal script end comment????

Now, I installed the OakGalley hack and I cannot upload any images. The reason seems to be the cal.php script. This is the error I am getting:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home3/www/basementsystems/dealerarea/cal.php:121) in /home3/www/basementsystems/dealerarea/gallery/upload_handle.php on line 108

So, it would seem that cal.php is running in the background or something. I also noticed, about the time I installed the script, that pages will not auto-redirect anymore (haven't tried to fix that yet), but now I am thinking that maybe this is all inter-related.

Any ideas? Any help?

Thanx

EDIT: IGNORE THIS POST (I really should just delete this post but maybe someone is as stupid as I am and will be helped by it). Removing the end comment "<-- End of vbPortal calendar script" solved the whole problem. What a dumb ass .. lol :O

Ok heres my little contribution. It's a quick and dirty fix but it's the only way I could think to do it using the current structure and not knowing any sql didn't help. I really need a book.

Ok in index.php replace

// vbPortal mini calendar - by wajones
if ($showcalendar) {
$year = date('Y');
$doublemonth = vbdate('m',time());
$month = date('n');
$day = '1';
$today = vbdate('m-d',time());
$events=$DB_site->query("SELECT eventdate,subject,eventid,public FROM calendar_events WHERE eventdate LIKE '$year-$doublemonth-%' AND ((userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]' AND public='0') OR (public='1'))");
while ($event=$DB_site->fetch_array($events)) {
if ($showtodaysevents AND $event[eventdate]==vbdate('Y-m-d',time())) {
$eventsubject = htmlspecialchars($event['subject']);
if ($event['public']=='1') {
$todaysevents .= "<li><a href=\"$bburl/calendar.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&eventid=$event[eventid]\"><smallfont color=\"{calpubliccolor}\">$eventsubject</smallfont></a></li>";
}
if ($event['public']=='0') {
$todaysevents .= "<li><a href=\"$bburl/calendar.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&eventid=$event[eventid]\"><smallfont color=\"{calprivatecolor}\">$eventsubject</smallfont></a></li>";
}
eval("\$eventstoday = \"".gettemplate('index_calendar_todaysevents')."\" ;");
}
}
if (!$bbuserinfo['startofweek']) {
$bbuserinfo['startofweek'] = '1';
}

with

if ($showcalendar) {
$year = date('Y');
$doublemonth = vbdate('m',time());
$month = date('n');
$day = '1';
$today = vbdate('m-d',time());
$events=$DB_site->query("SELECT eventdate,subject,eventid,public FROM calendar_events WHERE eventdate LIKE '$year-$doublemonth-%' AND ((userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]' AND public='0') OR (public='1')) ORDER BY eventdate");
while ($event=$DB_site->fetch_array($events)) {
$thetime = time();
for ($i = 0; $i < 14; $i++) {
if ($showtodaysevents AND $event[eventdate]==vbdate('Y-m-d',$thetime)) {
$eventsubject = htmlspecialchars($event['subject']);
if ($event['public']=='1') {
$todaysevents .= "<li><a href=\"$bburl/calendar.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&eventid=$event[eventid]\"><smallfont color=\"{calpubliccolor}\">$eventsubject</smallfont></a></li>";
}
if ($event['public']=='0') {
$todaysevents .= "<li><a href=\"$bburl/calendar.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&eventid=$event[eventid]\"><smallfont color=\"{calprivatecolor}\">$eventsubject</smallfont></a></li>";
}
eval("\$eventstoday = \"".gettemplate('index_calendar_todaysevents')."\" ;");
}
$thetime = $thetime + 86400;
}
}
if (!$bbuserinfo['startofweek']) {
$bbuserinfo['startofweek'] = '1';
}

$enddate = time() + 1209600;
$doublemonth = vbdate('m',$enddate);
$year = vbdate('Y',$enddate);

$events=$DB_site->query("SELECT eventdate,subject,eventid,public FROM calendar_events WHERE eventdate LIKE '$year-$doublemonth-%' AND ((userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]' AND public='0') OR (public='1')) ORDER BY eventdate");
while ($event=$DB_site->fetch_array($events)) {
$thetime = time();
for ($i = 0; $i < 14; $i++) {
if ($showtodaysevents AND $event[eventdate]==vbdate('Y-m-d',$thetime)) {
$eventsubject = htmlspecialchars($event['subject']);
if ($event['public']=='1') {
$todaysevents .= "<li><a href=\"$bburl/calendar.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&eventid=$event[eventid]\"><smallfont color=\"{calpubliccolor}\">$eventsubject</smallfont></a></li>";
}
if ($event['public']=='0') {
$todaysevents .= "<li><a href=\"$bburl/calendar.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&eventid=$event[eventid]\"><smallfont color=\"{calprivatecolor}\">$eventsubject</smallfont></a></li>";
}
eval("\$eventstoday = \"".gettemplate('index_calendar_todaysevents')."\" ;");
}
$thetime = $thetime + 86400;
}
}

if (!$bbuserinfo['startofweek']) {
$bbuserinfo['startofweek'] = '1';
}

$year = date('Y');
$doublemonth = vbdate('m',time());
$events=$DB_site->query("SELECT eventdate,subject,eventid,public FROM calendar_events WHERE eventdate LIKE '$year-$doublemonth-%' AND ((userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]' AND public='0') OR (public='1')) ORDER BY eventdate");
while ($event=$DB_site->fetch_array($events)) {}

Then just alter the index_calendar_todaysevents template to read something like

Next fortnight's events

instead of

Today's events


And that should work fine.

BUT this horrid work around adds two more queries to your home page and is generally horrid. Now can someone with some skill and time turn that code into something pretty please?

All credit to wajones for the original code for me to hack about though. Thank you.
