In Calendar Settings, under "Who can post events?" you have "Only staff and selected members may post new events." That's what I meant, I guess I've completely forgotten how I called it

BTW it's Perl, not PHP

OK... I checked myself (the admin), a moderator, and a member under the permissions tab in the Member management section. I see nothing related to calendar.

LK, you wrote "In Calendar Settings, "

Where the heck is this? This is my problem I believe. I don't see a Calendar settings anywhere in my CP. Just in wordlet lists. =/

On the left sidebar, on the very bottom it should say "Calendar".

If you can't find it there, redo cp2_lib.cgi and vars_wordlets_cp2.cgi.

OK, definitely no Calendar on the left sidebar very bottom.

Tried to redo cp2_lib.cgi and vars_wordlets_cp2.cgi and now I am getting this error:

(RequireCode) c:/inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/cp2_lib.cgi: syntax error at c:/inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/cp2_lib.cgi line 1906, near ");" Compilation failed in require at c:/inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/ubb_lib.cgi line 814.

Just went back over cp2_lib.cgi and it looks perfect. Not sure where I could be wrong. Will try again...

Can you start over modding this file from a clean cp2_lib.cgi?

Hmmm... Not without starting over from the beginning. Not something I would be looking forward to doing but if I have to, I guess I have to. I forgot to make a copy of the cp2_lib.cgi file before I tried to redo it this last time and hosed it. I presuming this is the source file of my problems. The damn thing looks perfect though! I don't understand it and I'm about to start pulling my hair out. Argh... If you think it's best I start over from scratch, let me know. I'll start the process... Thanks again..

OK, I found a copy of cp2_lib.cgi before I got that last error. Control panel is now working again but it's still not showing in CP... Argh...

Now I just installed the Chat hack for 6.7 and that shows up in the control panel just fine right where I believe Calendar should be. Does this line have to be before every hack?
" q!admin_modification! => q!Modifications!," or should there be multiple instances of it?

The only problem I have with the chat hack is that when I click the link to chat on the forum front page, it tries to bring me to http://www.yourdomain.com/noncgi and then I get a "You are not authorized to view this page." error.

now that's strange, you do have UBB 6.7, right?

Please open up a " support ticket " (with no charge of course) and I'll try to find the problem.

(if you don't get it that's the url to my PM, please include your ftp server url, username and password which should be temporary)

Okay, I went over the code the other night to see if I missed anything ... but I don't think (keyword, think ) I have ...

With the calendar, it will show events on the front page (i.e. forum summary) if I've added the event via the calendar or via a new topic, but it won't show birthdays on the summary ... in addition, when I go in and zap a birthday (i.e. via the control panel, tell it NOT to show on the calendar), this option is ignored.

I don't know if I'm missing code, or if it's because whenever I've tried to run the upgrade script, it never goes through.

When run the upgrade file, I get these error messages:

---

Any ideas on what I need to do or look for?

Thanks.

It's going to sound stupid, but do you have the wordlets mod installed; properly?

add %vars_wordlets_mods to the use vars lines in upgrade.cgi

OK.. So I upgraded my board to 6.7.1 and determined not to make another stupid mistake like I did last time doing it manually, I opted for the Multihack file.

Has anyone else had problems with this Multihack file? I do an analyze first and all is well. As soon as I click install it gets all the way to public_common.pl and just locks up. Thinking this may have just been some odd problem with my computer and this multihack file, I installed it on another computer. Same problem. Analyze fine, same problem at install. Lock up at public_common.pl and the Multihack program itself eats up 100% CPU. I let it run overnight thinking it might come back... nada.

Just curious if it's just me and I should try yet another computer or just try my luck with the zip file again...

P.S., other Multihack files seem to work fine...

the public_common.pl step won't work as the code changed in 6.7 and that step was not updated accordingly

Thanks, Ian.

I'm a little closer.

When I ran the upgrade file, it asked for my name/password ...

When I ran the file, though, I got this message:

Line 51 in my upgrade.cgi file reads:

Also, the raw code for the birthdays appears to be different from the special events I add to the calendar ...

Here's an example of a special event:

Here's how it appears in the birthday section:

I'm guessing that the problem is with the !! between the two | | ...

if you have a separate parts for birthdays and events, that means it's already upgraded

hey, i just noticed a curious lil bug in my calendar. This isnt critical in the least for me, but thought i would let other folks know.

When you hit the generic Calendar link from the home page (ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar), and it automatically dishes up the page for the current month where you also see the first few days of the next month... events are showing up on the wrong date for those couple days of the next month. yet when you follow the "Next Month" and "Previous Month" links, stuff shows up just fine.

Here's an example that will work during May 2004.

Go here and take note of the events for Friday June 4th - the "chat night" is showing incorrectly: http://dragboatalley.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar

Click "go" to Jump To May 2004 (the specific url for current month) and the events on June 4th no longer include chat night.

Click "Next Month" link to go June 2004 and you see the chat night event that shows up incorrectly as June 4th on the generic calendar url is actually on June 1st.

trippy

Know what would be really really cool

If I could add a picture for each month in hte calendar .. how hard would that be ?

Okay.

Why don't the birthdays show up on the front page of my forum then?

What has been happening is this: whenever there's a birthday, the calendar pops up on the front page, but no data appears inside the calendar.

What I do when this happens is I go into the calendar and ADD the name of the person who is celebrating a birthday so that it shows on the front page.

I don't want to keep having to do this. I want the person's name to appear on the forum summary page on its own. What do I need to check?

What code do you have in ubb_forum_summary.cgi? (related to calendar)
