Disclaimer: This is not wordletized, and is in CSS, so might look weird on your board.

In ubb_forum_summary.cgi
change

Code:

		$calendar = qq~<b><a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar">$vars_wordlets_calendar{forum_summary_events}</a>:</b> $calendar~ if ($calendar);
		$linebreak = "
" if ($calendar && $birthdays);
		$birthdays = qq~<b><a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar">$vars_wordlets_calendar{forum_summary_bdays}</a>:</b> $birthdays~ if ($birthdays);
	
		$calendar = $calendar &#0124;&#0124; $birthdays ? qq~


$TBT
<tr>
<td bgcolor="$vars_style{AltColumnColor1}" valign="top" align="left">
<font size="1" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">$calendar$linebreak$birthdays
</font>
</td>
</tr>
$TBB
		~ : '';

	}

Code:

		$birthdays = ($birthdays) ? $birthdays : "No Birthdays Today";
		$calendar = ($calendar) ? $calendar : "No Events Scheduled For Today";

		$calendar = qq~<tr class="categoryheader"><td align="center">&nbsp;</td>
<td align="left" colspan="2"><b>$vars_wordlets_calendar{forum_summary_events}</b></td></tr>
<tr><td class="lighttable" align="center"><img src="$vars_config{NonCGIURL}/calendarfs.gif" alt="Events" /></td><td align="left" valign="top" class="darktable" colspan="2">$calendar</td></tr>~;
		$birthdays = qq~<tr class="categoryheader"><td>&nbsp;</td>
<td align="left" colspan="2"><b><b>$vars_wordlets_calendar{forum_summary_bdays}</b></td></tr>
<tr><td class="lighttable" align="center"><img src="$vars_config{NonCGIURL}/birthday.gif" alt="Birthdays" /></td><td align="left" valign="top" class="darktable" colspan="2">$birthdays</td></tr>~;
	
		$calendar = qq~$calendar$birthdays~;

	}

ADWOFF Content Queen Registered: 05/07/01 Posts: 709 Loc: Pennsylvania	I have good news, and I have bad news! The good news is that the position of the Events/Birthday is perfect! And it appears to be reading the calendar correctly. That's the good news! The bad news, Ian, is I think the CSS is messing me up. Now, I don't know a lot about CSS, but I'm assuming the the code "class" refers to it, correct? Unfortunately, what is happening is this: the entire area where the Events/Birthdays should appear is the dark blue of my CategoryStripColor (dark blue) ... I either need to remove the class code or add a file for it to refer to ... and with either one, I'll need some help! _________________________ Sue adwoff.com

Ian Spence Master Hacker Registered: 01/25/03 Posts: 3765 Loc: Saint Johns, PA	change Code: class="categoryheader" to Code: bgcolor="$vars_style{CategoryStripColor}" Code: class="lighttable" to Code: bgcolor="$vars_style{AltColumnColor1}" Code: class="darktable" to Code: bgcolor="$vars_style{AltColumnColor2}" you're also gonna have to edit the colspans _________________________ Code monkey like Fritos

Eric Flyxe Member Registered: 05/03/01 Posts: 57	Can I easily show the events from today and seven days ahead, instead of the current day?

ADWOFF Content Queen Registered: 05/07/01 Posts: 709 Loc: Pennsylvania	Thanks, Ian. I appreciate your help. I almost have it the way I want it to be ... need to figure out a couple of things--but I need to head to work. There is ONE thing that I AM concerned with ... and it could potentially be a "big" issue. I am a little concerned about the cache with the calendar. I think that's the problem. If I go into the calendar and add an event there, it won't immediately appear on the front page; same with a birthday. Now, if I add an event via a new topic, it does automatically appear. Anyone point me in the right direction as to what to look for? Thanks. _________________________ Sue adwoff.com

Ian Spence Master Hacker Registered: 01/25/03 Posts: 3765 Loc: Saint Johns, PA	New topic automatically clears cache, that's why it's updated. I'm off to class now, but I'll try to help later _________________________ Code monkey like Fritos

LK Admin / Code Breaker Registered: 03/24/01 Posts: 7396	I would've made cache automatically clear at the first visit of the new day or after a new event is added for today, but since forums with many posts get updated often anyway and forums with not so many posts usually don't really have many calendar events, I don't think it's worth it... _________________________ My Hacks Page (will be back with UBB 7!)

RoxSeibert Member Registered: 02/20/03 Posts: 178 Loc: highspire, pa	well i did... i took the plunge and tried to load my first major mod on my mostly stock 6.7.0 site and i did something wrong i carefully made all the changes and uploaded files, rebuilt member stats, and then when I click on "Calendar" option in CP, i get the following message: The page and/or tab you requested is unavailable. The required code could not be properly loaded. Please ensure that all scripts, libraries, and templates have been properly uploaded. I double checked all the new files are up there... any suggestion where I might of screwed up? _________________________ ~=Rox http://dragboatalley.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi dangerously inspired by ubbdev, but i still absolutely HATE perl.

RoxSeibert Member Registered: 02/20/03 Posts: 178 Loc: highspire, pa	i also cleared the cache and CP Calendar settings page still doesnt like me and I turned the board on for Admin-Only, and the calendar link works fine. I was also able to add a test event for current date just fine. And after a few minutes "Events" list did show up on forum home!!!

RoxSeibert Member Registered: 02/20/03 Posts: 178 Loc: highspire, pa	I ended up with one leftover question on this mod afterall... can I set which style the main calendar page uses somewhere? it seems to be using my "Standard" style and it'd look less busy if I could get it to use my "StandardForum" style. _________________________ ~=Rox http://dragboatalley.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi dangerously inspired by ubbdev, but i still absolutely HATE perl.

LK Admin / Code Breaker Registered: 03/24/01 Posts: 7396	You can't in the CP, but you can in ubb_lib_calendar.cgi: (UNTESTED) Find Code: sub calendar_main { Add below: Code: %vars_style = &LoadStyleTemplate("forum_1"); That's in consideration that your forum #1 is using StandardForum style. If not, change "1" in the code above to the number of the forum which does use it. _________________________ My Hacks Page (will be back with UBB 7!) UBBDev - We put the class into UBB.classic!
