Nice...

I've seen others that have date issues, i.e. they show events due tomorrow as being today or a day late, or they simply vanish on the due-date.

Does this have any known issues ?

[tomsch]

there is only 1 known possible bug that i know of. i have not been able to reproduce the problem as of yet. it has to do with range events adding 1 day to the end date.

the only other issue is a bug in VB the work around for this issue if you have it is not to set the time zone for the events. When VB has this bug resolved there will be an update to use the time zone offsets.

other than that i don't know of anything.

Where do you add the line divider in the code?? I am using the uenopics.php file but want the line divider between events.

PHP Code:

ob_start(); 
global $db,$vbulletin;


$mydate =  mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d")-1, date("Y"));
$show_count =10; 

$query = sprintf("    SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."event 
                    WHERE visible = 1 
                    AND (dateline_from >= '$mydate' || (dateline_from >= '$mydate' AND dateline_to <= '$mydate' ) || ('$mydate' BETWEEN dateline_from AND dateline_to)) 
                    ORDER BY dateline_from ASC LIMIT $show_count"); 
                    
$event_get = vB::$db->query_read($query); 

$output_bits = ''; 
while($event = vB::$db->fetch_array($event_get)) { 

     if($event['dateline_to'] == 0 ) 
     { 
         $format = sprintf("On %s",vbdate('D M jS Y',$event['dateline_from'],false,true,false,true)); 
     } else { 
         $format = sprintf("From %s to %s",vbdate('D M jS Y',$event['dateline_from'],false,true,false,true),vbdate('jS M Y',$event['dateline_to'],false,true,false,true)); 
     } 
      
     $output_bits .= sprintf(' 
        <div class = "cms_widget_post_bit"><h4 class="cms_widget_post_header"><a href="calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=%d">%s</a></h4> 
            <p class="cms_widget_post_content">%s</p> 
         </div> 
        ',$event['eventid'],$event['title'],$format); 

} 
$output = $output_bits; 

ob_end_clean();

It's working fine on 4.1.4, except it doesn't show recurring events very well.

I have created a recurring event. The range is starting Jan 01, ending Dec 31 and the event is 1st Sunday of every month.

The event is listed, but the widget just displays this:

My Event
From Sat Jan 1st 2011 to 31st Dec 2011

And because the range started Jan 1st, this event is always at the top of the list.
