Had to add (birthday) to vars_wordlets_calendar.cgi

Still can't get selection boxes to show up in public_register_page.pl (Template). Everything work fine for edit profile after adding the birthday to vars_wordlets_calendar.cgi but i only see \ in place of birthday selection boxes on registration.

I reinstalled the hack and again it is working (what a great hack) using ubb6.04e


but i have one suggestion to add

Add a notification to the main forum what is going on on that day

like : anonymous is turned 99 today
or : Today it is christmas

and everything else you added in the calendar for that day

Good ideas Balbanes

ima make a suggestion.......

and ssi part which calls the days events. if there is none it reads No events going on today!
or sdomething!

Jordo , very nice hack

I have discovered what may be a couple of bugs.

Using 6.04e, I have found this;
In the registerwindow, and in profile window, only the dropdownboxes for month, day and year shows up, no description text in the textfield.
I could`nt find an option for that in the wordlet either.

When I post an event in the Calender, my user_name (login name) shows up everywhere instead of my public_name.

Shall it be like that or what?
How can i change it?

gaulalauk - i forgot to include the latest vars_wordlets_calendar.cgi in the zip, sorry bout that its there now, or just add this line in that file after %vars_wordlets_calendar = (

birthday => "Birthday",


about login vs public names. i intentionally made it do login names, but once i get the Control Panel part of this mod together ill ad in an option for the admin to select which type of name is used.

lookeeng good jordo!

Might change the ubb_lib.cgi addition to the mainbuttons to a wordlet so it can be changed from the cp, right now the link is capitalized and the rest of them are not.

Nice scripts...very nice...:) thank you

A idea-
Use CCS text bg highlighting to highlight the number of the day in the calender. (If it was the 23rd, highlight 23) That way you can tell the difference of the number between the events and text.

btw thanks allen

I've installed the Calendar hack, and it seems to be running just fine.

However, there does not seem to be a way to access Calendar config options via the Control Panel. I suppose before I go even further, I should ask and confirm whether or not a Calendar config screen is even built-in at this point?

If it is available, then obviously I've mis-hacked a cp file somewhere along the line. Could someone please confirm.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike - theres no cp part in the latest version. there will however be a new version later today with CP and also a number of other new features and bugfixes/changes.

OK, the zips are updated with the latest version - 1.1

i would recommend completely reinstalling the hack if you have a previous version, but if you dont want to do all that, you need to re-modify the following files:

cp_common.pl
cp.cgi
ubb_profile.cgi
ubb_registration.cgi

and modify the following:

cp_lib.cgi
ubb_new_topic.cgi
public_new_topic_form.pl

and upload (overwriting any existing ones) the following:

cp_vars_calendar.pl (Template)
public_new_calendar_event.pl (Template)

ubb_lib_calendar.cgi

vars_calendar.cgi
vars_wordlets_calendar.cgi
New Features in this version:
CP settings for who can post, special calendar colors, which forum to use as calandar announcements forum, and whether to use public or login names.

Integration with posting of new topics in a selected forum.

Birthdays now will show up every year, instead of just this year.

ubb_lib_calendar.cgi now has a subroutine that can be called from anywhere (after a require of the file of course), that given the event title, description, date, and username (username is optional) will add an event to the calendar. read the code for better description. if you dont know what this means then you shouldnt be trying to do it.

i cant think of what else is new right now.

What's coming/Todo
Admin editing of events
Some more integration (100 or 1000 post events, etc)
Fixes for any bugs that pop up.
Cacheing.
And Maybe private events (but its doubtfull)

I look forward to adding this to our site tonight.. www.thegng.org excellent work, and thank you!

getting some syntax errors when trying to start a new topic... can you check it out?

Gotta leave for a lil bit, will be back

allen - sorry there was a slight typo in the instructions, in ubb_new_topic.cgi it says
&do_add_event_general($in{topic_subject}, $julian_day,

that shouldnt be in there it should just be $julian_day,

zip updated

i also updated the zip with a new ubb_lib_calendar.cgi, it was being weird with displaying usernames of who posted so i changed it a bit, just upload the new ubb_lib_calendar.cgi.

ive noticed an error its showing that i posted all the events and visa versa for you or anyone else........

Scheduled Chat We will be having our second official scheduled chat from 7:00-9:00 PM Central Time today. If you'd like to join, just click over to http://www.ubbdev.com/chat/ and login. Jigga-Master

ya thats why i updated the ubb_lib_calendar.cgi, i was trying to accomadate for people that choose to view by public names, seeing as the logs hold login names only, it didnt work so for now names are login only till i can figure out a better way to do it...

Just finished adding this hack to my test board, http://test.sofguild.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi , looks awesome!

Suggestions for down the road:

Make the Birthday field optional, I don't know about anyone else, but my members aren't all big fans about having their birthdays public knowledge.

Also make the birth year optional for those who don't want others to know their age.

Last item, Admin deletion of events. (I suppose this falls under your todo list for Admin editing) If you let anyone add an event, who knows what might get posted?

Thanks for a killer hack. I was using a seperate script before on my site and plan to scrap that entirely for this one.

Two thumbs up!
