Attachments in calendar events

Why isn't there a category for calendar hacks? Oh well..

This was originally developed for Davelogic, with this hack you can add attachments to your calendar events. The attachment will show up at the end of the event.

In any event you add (single event, recurrent or ranged) you can
add attachments the same way you can add them to a post (ie, a pop-up
will appear asking you for the attachments). Then the attachments
will show in the event once submitted.



The installation instructions are for a non-hacked RC4 board, instructions would vary if you have other hacks intalled, and would be really different if you have any other attachment hacks installed.

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission
Some portions of the code are (c) Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

thanks a lot Kentaurus, should be handy for attaching screenshots of maps to our meetings rather than linking to another site.. Just want to say thanks for all your hacks you`ve come out with some awesome ones that have truly improved the quality of our forums.

I'll install this as soon as the vB3 Final comes out but I'll click install now.

wow great heack, i've been waiting for this a long time

but i have a small question about the permissions

is it possible to restrict users from posting attachments in the forums but allow them to do so in the calendar?

Right now that isn't a feature. Right now If a user can post attachments then he can post attachments anywhere.

Nice one, now I don't have to write my own.

I agree there should be a calendar hack section. If they have one for profiles and one for private messages they should have one for the much more powerful calendar... There are so many ways the calendar can be expanded people don't even realize.... User dairies/autobio's, record keeping/statistics making etc... etc... use the imagination. This hack gives a good start on added functionality. thumbs up.

will there be also a HTL version of this?

i would love to install this hack but without HTL it will be too much work each update

slacker.

Hey Kentaurus, care to look at the issues which cause viewing attachments to calendars via the user control panel show up as still "In progress"?
