Here is the Calendar (finally) v1.03

http://www.hedgehogwheels.com/hacks/calendar1.03.zip

- Admin can set usergroups to allow those selected to post public events that everyone sees
- Behaves just like a message with smilies, bbcode, etc
- Months are options in Control Panel for easier language changes
- Can specify 0,1, or 2 images to display above each month

I do need to update the birthday hack to support birthyear as it is on my forum. I am not sure if the calendar will work as is with the previous birthday hack. If not then just turn that option off in the control panel for now.

Hello Freddie,

Your the man....I'll let you know how the install goes.

Thanks.

Freddie,
I've not tried the calendar hack myself, but am very very interested in it. Here are some things you might want to look into (I haven't tested it myself so some might not be issues at all):

- does it delete past events or does it keep it forever? This should be a configurable option in the admin
- flood protection? Limit to X events per day per user, with each event limited to Y characters
- email notification (user-configurable) of up-coming events (wait, I just saw that this will be in the up-coming v1.1 !!)
- repeating events (per week/day of the week/month/year). This would be great for students who can then set their class schedules through the calendar hack
- events not just based on date, but also on time of the day

The events should be archivable, set by the admin, say any events after 6 months...this way users can go back and see what happened last month.

Right now the events will just stay on the calender and you can see them by going back to the month.

Jim did you install it yet? I want to know if it works or not. I attempted to write instructions for with PMs or not but I didn't actually test it with PMs installed.

I do think you may have problems as the changes in global.php probably won't match what you have in v1.1.3

I will be installing it at Sitepoint tomorrow. So i'll let you know. Looks fabulous by the way.

Hello Freddie,

Your right....the instructions don't work for 1.13. Any chance I can get you to make them?

thanks.

Oh the mod doesnt work for 1.13?
shoooot
i was looking forward to trying it out too.

Looks awesome!

I'm gonna wait til 2.0 until I look too closely at it, but could it be altered so that it works like our current system at http://www.ten-tenths.com/calendar ? Would be very handy if it could.

With Just For You being made compatible with vB and the many hacks now available for vB, it really is gonna be possible to run the whole site from it soon!

Hello Freddie

Install instructions worked fine on my off-line test server. Just one small cosmetic issue seen - the new options in the Admin|Change options don't pick up the CSS defined text attributes. I think <p> </p> would need to be added to each table cell.
