Title: Calendar Event Reminder
Post by: HoverClub on January 28, 2011, 06:48:03 PM
Link to Mod (https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2860)

Allows users to set a reminder for any calendar event.

Adds an drop-down reminder menu icon (alarm clock) to events in the calendar and on post with linked events.

The reminder menu allows users to select pre-set reminder periods from 1 day to 8 weeks.  They will be send an email reminder the selected period before any event.

Required Settings:
The calendar must be enabled in the admin control panel.
If you are also using my Event Registration mod (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3238) mod then this mod MUST be installed AFTER installing the event registration mod.

Languages Support:

... etc.

This mod looks good.

Would be ideal for my forum as it is for the local community and makes heavy use of the Calendar.

However on line 158 of my display template file I have this error.

Undefined Inex: View Week.

$url = '<li><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=calreminder;eventid=' . $event['id'] . ';eventstart=' . $event['start_timestamp'] . (isset($context['current_year']) ? ';year=' . $context['current_year'] : '') . (isset($context['current_month']) ? ';month=' . $context['current_month'] : '') . (isset($context['current_day']) ? ';day=' . $context['current_day'] : '') . ($context['view_week'] ? ';viewweek' : '') . ';' . $context['session_var'] . '=' . $context['session_id'] . ';reminder=';

Edit the display template line 158 and replace:

$context['view_week']

..with

isset($context['view_week'])


.. I'll fix it at the next update (although it does work OK with the curve theme on RC4  ;D)

Will do it this afternoon.

Another thing I have noticed is not all the events have the image next to them.

The calendar is open to guests if ya wanna take a peep.

Looks like you mis-edited the template.  Do a search and replace by copying the text from the post above.

Guests can't see the reminder icon in the calendar as, being guests, they haven't got an email address to recieve a reminder.

Here is the Dutch translation:


$txt['reminder_mod_title'] = ' stuur mij een email voordat dit evenement begint';
$txt['reminder_mod_hours'] = 'uren';
$txt['reminder_mod_day'] = 'dag';
$txt['reminder_mod_days'] = 'dagen';
$txt['reminder_mod_week'] = 'week';
$txt['reminder_mod_weeks'] = 'weken';
$txt['reminder_noremind'] = 'geen reminder';
$txt['reminder_emailsubject'] = 'Evenement Reminder!';


I'm not shure if this part is correct. Could you place that in context for me?

$txt['reminder_mod_title'] = ' stuur mij een email voordat dit evenement begint';

Is there any way to set events to default to send emails to all members or individuals? We use calendar events for amongst other things recording who is on the swimming pool life guard rota and it would be great to be able to default to sending an email the day before each individuals "watch". Similarly we have some club events such as talk that we send a reminder about to our membership a couple of days before the event. It would be great if we could automate this via the forum.

Thanks for a useful mod.
Title: Re: Calendar Event Reminder
Post by: HoverClub on March 01, 2011, 01:57:32 PM
It would probably be possible to send a bulk reminder email to all members but that's a guaranteed way to get listed as a spam site ::)

Why not set a reminder for yourself using this mod, then send a newsletter "reminder" (Admin->Main->News and Newsletters->Newsletters) to specific groups?
Title: Re: Calendar Event Reminder
Post by: doughboy99 on March 01, 2011, 02:30:40 PM
Thanks for the quick reply. I take your point about spam. In our case we have a restricted and small membership(a dive club) who actively want to be reminded about talks etc. H#ll try your suggestion about setting a reminder for myself as a prompt to email people.

In pool marshall rota is more of an issue for us as its a pain when someone forgets to turn up. I'll try taking a look at Outlook(shiver), although it sort duplicates enties somewhat.

Post by: OCJ on May 17, 2011, 04:31:42 AM
Non-fatal error almost completely gone now ... I get an error when a guest selects a reminder from the calendar page - thats about it.

Adding to this post that one of my main uses for this mod is that the icon on the calendar splits up the events rather well - improves the standard calendar layout which makes it hard to see where one event title ends and the other begins - just the comma in small wrapped linked text. So it would be nice it it stayed rather than made invisible to guests...

Thank you for this mod!

When you select "8 hours" before the event for the reminder, what *time* is being used? 12 midnight or 12 noon? Something else?

The calendar table does not store a time, so I was wondering what "8 hours" would be calculated against.

Thanks.
Title: Re: Calendar Event Reminder
Post by: HoverClub on September 22, 2011, 03:28:42 PM
It's 12 midnight - probably should be 12 hours before rather than 8.

Got a strange looking subject title for an event reminder.

Mightve been Japanese characters in the event tiltle ... but not on the calendar now - need to check again with alphabet only.

Title: Re: Calendar Event Reminder
Post by: Kindred on February 01, 2012, 04:15:58 PM
ok.   This was a nice-clean uninstall and re-install -- even with the huge number of mods currently running....
with the exception of the new function at the end of display.template.php.
Another mod had added another new function between this one and the ?>. Which made the uininstall fail, because the ?> did not immediately follow the reminder function.

Post by: PPZ-01 on June 28, 2012, 11:27:28 AM
     Well, let me answer to myself  ;D

      Problem with subject was that I was using country-specific characters in subject, which was by some mail servers treated as code or something, so people were getting such a strange subject email.
      As soon as I changed subject to simple letters, with no special characters, everything worked.

      It SHOULD work and with special characters, especially because people in my country are using two kinds, cyrillic and latin sets, and sending and receiving emails written in them, but hey, I solved my problem!  ;D  It is important to me that subject is understandable, and I got it.

      HoverClub,thank you for this great mod!

Why not set a reminder for yourself using this mod, then send a newsletter "reminder" (Admin->Main->News and Newsletters->Newsletters) to specific groups?

With SMF 2's nicely paced email release what's the prospects of revisiting this request? As admin I would like to be able to subscribe all members that haven't unticked the "receive notifications from admins" box. In our case that would apply to all events, but obviously there may be events where that is not called for. Can I do this as a manual exercise via updating a database once the next year's calendar events are listed (typically an event every fortnight)? Obviously it would be really helpful to tick a box to announce the topic at the designated reminder point, any chance of that? The reality is that relying on myself to generate the reminders simply isn't realistic and an "opt out" .vs. "opt in" approach would be much more helpful. Thank you.

Thanks!

If you have old reminders that didn't get sent for whatever reason, the mod will catch-up initially.

Hi, I'm in need of a bit more help. I've got both the Event Registration Mod and the Reminder Mod both installed. Everything seems okay but once I post an event I get this error:

Not unique table/alias: 'h'
File: /home/maggied/public_html/wodtribulations.com/smf/Sources/Display.php
Line: 574

I've got the Display.php attached. Not sure what 'h' means.  :-\

Thanks ahead of time!

Also, I've posted this before but wasn't able to figure it out and I *think* it has to do with this mod. After events are posted, I get this on the Calendar on the date of the event:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function make_reminder_menu() in /home/maggied/public_html/wodtribulations.com/smf/Sources/Load.php(2214) : eval()'d code on line 398

I've already addressed your issue in this thread (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=462457.msg3445655#msg3445655).  As was said, you've got parts of two different installations of this mod which you either need to remove manually OR restore from a backup and start again.  It's almost impossible to trawl through all of the files trying to find duplicated or corrupted code caused by the double installation - far quicker and safer just to restore and start again.

magswood,

I think you are misunderstanding what a "reinstall" actually is in this case.

Copy fresh copies of all files in the Sources, Themes/default and root directories - overwriting the existing files on your server with the exception of Settings.php. (KEEP THAT FILE UNTOUCHED)

your forum will be now reset by removing all mods.

All DATA (boards, messages, users, etc) is stored in the database and will be untouched.


In the future, take regular backups - especially before installing mods.
Title: Re: Calendar Event Reminder
Post by: magswod on December 03, 2012, 02:41:31 PM
Yes thank you. Once this is fixed proper, I'll be backing up. I did that. Reinstalled fresh copies of those files. Now, when trying to view the calendar I get this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare handler() (previously declared in /home/maggied/public_html/wodtribulations.com/smf/Sources/calreminder.php:8) in /home/maggied/public_html/wodtribulations.com/smf/Sources/calreminder.php on line 47 

This is after I re-installed the mods per the instructions on top of the fresh files you noted.

Sorry for being a bit daft, I'm new and learning as I go.
Title: Re: Calendar Event Reminder
Post by: Kindred on December 03, 2012, 02:44:25 PM
it would seemt hat you did not successfully overwrite all the existing files.
Do this.
Delete all files in /Sources.
Delete all files in /Themes/default
(you can leave any subdirectories alone)
delete index.php and SSI.php in the root directory

Now, upload fresh copies of the files for /Sources, /Themes/default, index.php and SSI.php


THEN try reinstalling mods.
Title: Re: Calendar Event Reminder
Post by: magswod on December 03, 2012, 02:55:26 PM
Question - Will this effect the other mods I have installed? The only one I'm terribly concerned with is the Helpdesk mod. If so not a big deal, just curious if I need to uninstall all mods in the admin panel.

Thank you again for your help!
Title: Re: Calendar Event Reminder
Post by: Kindred on December 03, 2012, 03:03:33 PM
yes. Doing this will remove ALL mods which you have previously installed. They will have to be re-installed.

(hence my reminder - always take a backup before installing a new mod)
Title: Re: Calendar Event Reminder
Post by: magswod on December 03, 2012, 04:52:20 PM
Thank you so much, that solved the problem. And I have a backup :)

Hello, could this mod possibly be backported for SMF 1.1.18 please? Thank you!
Title: Re: Calendar Event Reminder
Post by: HoverClub on June 25, 2013, 06:40:04 AM
Not by me (I've never used SMF 1 and no reason to start now) but anyone else is welcome to try?
Title: Re: Calendar Event Reminder
Post by: HoverClub on June 25, 2013, 12:59:29 PM
..... cancel that - SMF1 doesn't have a scheduled task system so this mod can never work with it.
Title: Re: Calendar Event Reminder
Post by: littlenicki on June 25, 2013, 11:52:56 PM
Could it be done through a cronjob?

Tried to install this MOD (v2.31) on SMF 2.0.8 and the prechecks pulled up the following error:

*   2.   Execute Modification   ./Themes/default/Display.template.php   Test failed
   1.   Add After   ./Themes/default/Display.template.php   Test successful
   2.   Add After   ./Themes/default/Display.template.php   Test failed
   3.   Add Before   ./Themes/default/Display.template.php   Test successful

I've reverted SMF back to the standard theme and still see the same error messages.

Is there any problem in proceeding with the installation?

Thanks for the link.

Installed the mod and found out that I didn't need to change anything - changes were made by the installation code.
Title: Re: Calendar Event Reminder

Except that the changes were not made... Anything that was marked as test failed was NOT changed.

Reading the mod-page, it occurs to me, this mod has not been worked on for some 4-ish years.

I use 2.0.13. Does this mod work with my system or does it screw things up?

I get an error when trying to install on my test platform so you may have to emulate.

I don't know if it will work or not but gonna try installing this on 2.0.18 but need help...

In Display.template.php it says to add:
($context['user']['is_guest'] ? '' : make_reminder_menu($event)) .

After:
($event['start_date'] != $event['end_date'] ? ' - ' . $event['end_date'] : '') .

My Display.template.php:
($event['start_date'] != $event['end_date'] ? ' - ' . $event['end_date'] : ''), '
Title: Re: Calendar Event Reminder
Post by: shadav on August 08, 2021, 03:40:17 PM
is there anything after that in your display.template.php
if not then just change your code to match what it wants

the end result should be
' . $event['start_date'] . ($event['start_date'] != $event['end_date'] ? ' - ' . $event['end_date'] : '') . ($context['user']['is_guest'] ? '' : make_reminder_menu($event)) . '

that is if you haven't added something else that changed that line

Ok, it was that period (.) toward the end was screwing me up cause mine code has a comma (,) Thanks ;)

make sure at the start it's a period also and not a comma

Morning all,

Love this mod but now on 2.1.4; has anyone got it to work on 2.1 yet?

Mod Owner - any chance a 2.1 update is coming?


Thank you,

Since the mod author has not been online in over 18 months... probably not.
