The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

reefland · #1 05-11-2010, 10:49 AM

I am working on a bit of a modification/addition for my site and I am in need of some help. I am building a script that will be cronned and will insert events into the calendar every day. I have the script built and the insert query working however for some reason the even does not show in the calendar. I can access the event via the url for the eventid and it works fine, and I can edit the event and it will then show in the calendar. So I am missing something that needs to happen in addition to the INSERT into the event table.

To complicate matters, I can't find where the existing functions are for the event creation in the files. I am looked through calendar.php, class_dm_event and functions_calendar and can't find a single insert there anywhere.

Code:

$vbulletin->db->query_write("
        INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX ."event (eventid, userid, event, title, allowsmilies, recurring, recuroption, calendarid, customfields, visible, dateline, utc, dst, dateline_from, dateline_to)
                VALUES ('', '1', 'Open', '" . $day1post1title . "', '1', '0', '', '5', NULL, '1', '" . $day1 . "', '0.00', '0', '" . $day1 . "', '0')
        ");

Again, this inserts the event into the database just fine, but the event will not show on the calendar until it is edited via the UI. Thoughts?

--------------- Added [DATE]1273603886[/DATE] at [TIME]1273603886[/TIME] ---------------

Entering a row directly to the database does the same thing. So it must be some cache function I am missing or something.

If anyone is interested in helping out, here is the code I am using. This is to be cronned as a scheduled task.

PHP Code:


			
<?php



// ######################## SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

//error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

if (!is_object($vbulletin->db))

{

    exit;

}



// ########################################################################

// ######################### START MAIN SCRIPT ############################

// ########################################################################



require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_newpost.php');

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_wysiwyg.php');

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_calendar.php');



$now = time();

$month = date('m', $now);

$day = date('d', $now);

$year = date('Y', $now);

$date = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);

$day1 = $date + 604800;

$day2 = $day1 + 86400;

$day3 = $day2 + 86400;

$day4 = $day3 + 86400;

$day5 = $day4 + 86400;

$day6 = $day5 + 86400;

$day7 = $day6 + 86400;

$calendarinfo[calendarid] = 5;

echo "<html><head><title>test</title></head><body>Today is: $date and One Week from Today is: $day1 Calendarid is $calendarinfo[calendarid]</body></html>";



$day1post1title = "7am - OPEN";

$day1post2title = "10am - OPEN";

$day1post3title = "1pm - OPEN";

$day1post4title = "4pm - OPEN";

$day1post5title = "7pm - OPEN";

$day1post6title = "10pm - OPEN";



$vbulletin->db->query_write("

    INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX ."event (eventid, userid, event, title, allowsmilies, recurring, recuroption, calendarid, customfields, visible, dateline, utc, dst, dateline_from, dateline_to)

        VALUES ('', '1', 'Open', '" . $day1post1title . "', '1', '0', '', '5', NULL, '1', '" . $day1 . "', '0.00', '0', '" . $day1 . "', '0')

    "); 



global $vbulletin, $vbphrase, $_CALENDAROPTIONS;



    if (!$vbulletin->options['showevents'])

    {

        return false;

    }



    $storeevents = array();



    // Store timestamp 48 hours before the current time and 48 hours after the showevent period

    $beginday = TIMENOW - 172800;

    $endday = TIMENOW + 86400 + 86400 * $vbulletin->options['showevents'];

    $storeevents['date'] = gmdate('n-j-Y' , $endday);





        $events = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave("

        SELECT eventid, userid, event.title, recurring, recuroption, dateline_from, dateline_to, event.calendarid, IF (dateline_to = 0, 1, 0) AS singleday, customfields,

            dateline_from AS dateline_from_user, dateline_to AS dateline_to_user, utc, dst

        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "event AS event

        INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "calendar AS calendar USING (calendarid)

        WHERE ((dateline_to >= $beginday AND dateline_from < $endday) OR (dateline_to = 0 AND dateline_from >= $beginday AND dateline_from <= $endday ))

            AND visible = 1

            AND calendar.options & " . intval($_CALENDAROPTIONS['showupcoming']) . "

        ORDER BY dateline_from

    ");



    while ($event = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($events))

    {

        $event['title'] = htmlspecialchars_uni($event['title']);

        $storeevents["$event[eventid]"] = $event;

    }



    build_datastore('eventcache', serialize($storeevents), 1);



    return $storeevents;



?>

This successfully inserts the event, which can then be access via calendar.php?e=xxxx&c=5 but the event is not viewable on the calendar.

Most of the times, it's the stupid things. The date from has to be midnight gmt.
