Link to Mod (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=655)
Hi, Hello:
I'm a new SMF user. I dl'ed and installed 1.1 RC2 a few days ago and so far no troubles.
One question though: I needed a calendar app that allowed repeating events - the span thing just didn't cut it for our needs (an astro club). I took a theme from Bloc (Black22) and modified the Post.template.php and Calendar.template.php files as needed, however, due to the addition fields I'm using I needed to modify the calendar table structure (added columns) and the Post.php and Calendar.php files (to support the new columns related to repeating events).
Here's the question: How do I share these mods with the rest of the community? Since my mods are not limited to the "template" files I'm not sure what to do. Diff files? Is there a cvs this can be posted to? What question am I forgetting to ask? Sorry if I've missed a document that covers this - I poked around and don't see anything obvious...
salute and happy days,
Chris Curran

can't answer your question about how to share it, but once you've got that answered, I'd LOVE to be one of the first to grab it. I've waited for something like this since I started using SMF ... I just can't hack code that well :)
Did I post this in the wrong forum? Are there any SMF developers out there that can comment on the above questions?
thanks,
Chris
You need to look at the mod package design and package this up into an archive, with an XML load sheet and an XML instruction set to tell the system what files to modify and how... (and a sql file for it to execute to tell it how to modify the tables)
Thanks Kindred. Is there doc somewhere that outlines the "mod package design"? The only thing I am able to find is a two msg thread regarding how to make a new theme...
cheers,
Chris

OK, I dl'ed a mod and took a look at the structure. First thing I noticed is that the themes are .gz and the mods are .zip - the inconsistency seemed odd. What I still don't "get" are the nuts & bolts of this - what are the "rules"? What other commands/functions are available to the MOD file? Can I auto-execute the sql mods, or do I instruct the user to run a script outside the current environment? I can't seem to find a HOWTO type document/thread on how to make a package. Is there one?
thx,
Chris
it's here...
[Unknown]'s package SDK (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=20319.0)
also.. BTW: Would you mind If I rolled this mod into another calendar mod that I was working on?
(the PhatCalendarPack) I had actually just started looking into the recurring events. :)
But since you've done it, I would like to roll it in, so that there won't be any conflicts between the two mods. All credit on this portion definitiely going to you...
Let me know if you're OK with that... (or not...)
oooh sweeet
thank you! :)
Yes, of course. I'd like to package this up as it's own mod for my own education though. Thanks for the link - I'll check it out and get back to you after the games...
cheers,
Chris

OK, I got the "SDK" and have started looking into packaging this up. However, I must admit to being somewhat disappointed. This is not a "SDK" in the sense that I'm used to seeing/using SDK's. Moreover, I find it *very* odd that the "SDK" is not a sticky thread in this forum - why hide it in the noise of chatter? SMF seems to pride itself on how easy it is to install mods and themes - where's the beef for us programmers? I'm sure there are ways to make getting started as a SMF developer more difficult and frustrating, but I'm not sure how you go about it...
cheers,
Chris

Chris,
Can you email me or PM me regarding the coding for this? I am planning to release the PhatCalPack around the end of the month and I (and all the users) would love it if recurring events could be included. :)
thanks!
Kindred,
I haven't finished making the xml mod files (or tested same). Are you asking for the source raw (which I can do)? BTW: I do a search for "PhatCalPack" and don't find anything - where is it?

it was actually originally titled: Jack's Phat Calendar Pack (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=37907.0)
Jack was gone for a while and I updated the pack for the 1.0.x series.
Since I did some updates, a bunch of people came in with requests to be added for the RC2 release. :)
Oooh...just what I need! Thanks for doing this, Chris! :) I'll be anxiously awaiting!
I don't know if this will interest anyone... I've worked out auto-generating events for the moon phases (our board is for an astro club, so moon phase is important to us). I wrote a small script to dl the data from USNO, then created a mysql table for those data. Those data are used to display the time of the four quarters of the moon, on the proper date, with UT conversion to local time (EST here).
here it is in action: http://www.stpeteastronomyclub.org/forum/index.php?action=calendar
cheers,
Chris
PS: I'm leaving town in a few hours until Tue. Q's will have to wait until then....
Chris... you are amazing! That is so totally cool!
I have a moon phase graphic for my main portal that is a javascript, but so far, for the calendar, one of the moderators has been inserting the new/full moon dates.
I am definitely interesed in that script for my own board as well!
Thanks Kindred. It's worth noting that the reason I used USNO data is that the algo for calculating moon phases isn't as simple as one might think. I had originally written the code to pull the data dynamically from USNO (http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/MoonPhase.html) but the USNO doesn't provide data on a monthly basis (year by year only). Thant meant 1) connecting to USNO for each calendar page refresh - yuk, and 2) parsing a full year of data each time for one months worth of info - double yuk. That's when I morphed the code into writing it into a table so I could read it back later. I wound up sucking data for 2000 to 2035 - that should cover the immediate needs ;).
If you like, I can send you the source (when I get back next week) for these mods to include in your phat project. In fact, if it works for you, I'd prefer you handle the packaging of these mods - I just don't have the time to dig into this packaging thing right now (or anytime in the near future).
cheers,
Chris
Hi Chris,
Is your mod for recurring calendar events available for 1.1 RC2?
This is all I need, I don't need the additional stuff in kindred's mod (also yet to be released)

Nope. And I don't know if there ever will be one - those who I've asked for help seem to have forgotten....

Chris,
I have not forgotten. I have just been overwhelmed with a case of "life" (who would've thunk it)
My real-life boss is on leave, so I am holding down both her job as well as all my own tasks... :(
:)... I'm always amused by folks who discover just how hard "life" really is. I have a wife, three kids (one still at home) and a grandkid, I'm the PM of seven programmers (i.e. seven egos) on a project that debuts at the NAMM show on the 14'th, I haven't seen a vacation in years and I never miss a New Moon weekend with my astro buddies. Don't talk to me about "life".... :)
Psst: old school organizational tip: Get yourself some of those small pocket sized spiral-bound notebooks (the paper kind, not electronic). They come in packs of 10 for about 3 bucks. Write it down and you'll be amazed at how much more you accomplish. I stopped trusting my memory after enjoying the 70's a bit too much...
cheers,
Chris

I keep doing a search on the forums here every couple of weeks in hopes that this has been packaged by someone. The lack of recurring events is killing me since we schedule daily activites, some that happen every week. Arrggh!! ;)
Will a small donation help get this moving?
I understand. I have gotten numerous requests for this feature via email, but so far no one has stepped up to the plate... Send a note to the SMF development staff - maybe they will get involved if they know there are enough folks out there that want this type of mod?
cheers,
Chris

why chris's modifications wouldnt be built into the default build is beyond me.
:(
Good news, and more good news:
1) I have updated my repeating events and moon phase code (for the Calendar) to support SMF 1.1.1.
2) I finally sat down and wrote a mod package for this! It needs beta testing - anyone?
cheers,
Chris Curran
sure - i'm free to test it (inside and out) --- where should i begin?
Here: http://www.planetcurran.com/smf/repeatEvents_1_0.zip
I uploaded the mod to the system last night:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=655
It awaits approval from those who do that sort of thing here....
cheers.
Chris
GREAT WORK!!!
I've just been checking it out just a little (so far).
on the surface it functions near 100%...
one issue is while this mod is installed, when entering to edit an existing event > the edit form does not reflect original dates - and so dates need to be re-entered upon every edit (not the case without this mod)
there seems to be some other issues too, but i gotta double check 'em
- like at sometime existing events that were spanned lost their span somehow (during unistall or reinstall)
- we probably can swing more efficient use of DB while installed
- i also wonder about leaving the DB modified after uninstall (not the best thing)
- questionable if such is a real "issue" (i can't reproduce such easially - maybe such is due to my own customizations) but one time the moon cycles were mixed in with upcoming posted events on the board index (didn't look good)
[ click for full size ]

note: this issue might be an effect caused by an interaction with some not fully dev'ed mods that i'm currently working on < reason why i use multible test beds - i'm checking to see if i can get this effect on a default smf install (so far - so good)...
the "issue" i mentioned above sorta intergrates with a new feature request and the following feature request below - it might be nice to have the option to display current month moonphases in its own stat box on the board index (homepage)
basically the mod does two unrelated things > makes events repeatable and displays moon phases - i think once installed displaying moonphases should be optional - i know it was one of the driving factors behind the mod's creation, but the repeatable aspect is strong enough - the repeating event aspect is inheirently optional (during post creation) so that's fine...
now consider this is feedback after a quick look (on a few test beds) - i'll be looking much deeper into this in the coming days (weeks, months ;) ) - i'm also gonna check out what other calender mods do (danny just came out with one) and see if any have some stuff here or there that might help - finally, all this stuff is right up my alley, so when i mention "issues" or "feature request" i mean either i or we can look into such, i'm not passing all the work back to you - unless you're greedy :)

I just checked my virgin install and it seems to be working as I expect. All previously entered dates show up as I expect them too.

- like at sometime existing events that were spanned lost their span somehow (during unistall or reinstall)
I tossed out that "span" logic as it is outdated in this methodology. Yea, it probably breaks old events, but I didn't care. :)

Huh? Like what?

I don't disagree, however, this is the first mod I've ever packaged up, and as you will note, it's HUGE! As you'll also note, I've asked for help with packaging this mod for close to a year now and no one ever stepped up to the plate, so I had to plow through it last night guessing at what the best practice was...
Quote

:) I can see how most would consider it "unrelated"..... The reality is that I needed to upgrade our astro club forum from RC2 to 1.1.1, and I didn't want to hand code it (yet again). So, I sat down yesterday and gutted through the mod process. Since our club is an "astro" club (see my homepage), the Moon Phase status is darn near as important to us as the repeating events! I live for New Moon weekends!
Breaking this mod into two separate packages is probably the right thing to do at some point, but right now since I'm rowing alone, it's going to be one package.
Quote
so when i mention "issues" or "feature request" i mean either i or we can look into such, i'm not passing all the work back to you - unless you're greedy :)
The more the merrier.... I'm a (recently) retired programmer and way past caring about "glory". I really don't want to get bogged down with a lot of feature requests that I don't have time for. Having time for my family and telescopes is what I care about.
cheers,
Chris
ooop,
One feature that is not included in this mod is "exceptions". For example, our astro club has regular meetings on the fourth Fri of every month, *except* in Nov and Dec. I have some prelim code for this, but it's not in the mod. Let me know if you need something to do... :)
Chris
Re: "exceptions" and other stuff i had mentioned...
yeah - i saw all the neglect you had experienced on this project, kinda tragic - however, i personally don't forget/neglect things so easily and so > yeah, you can kinda think of me as on your team now - and not sooo "relaxed"...
i'll return shortly to address a few more of the things you touched on, but actually, i wanted to bring up another feature request (and don't forget, all my feature requests i will attempt to fulfill personally ;) ) - i thought of mentioning this in my last post > basically i think an added feature of a different kind of "exception" would really add to this mod's flexibility > a kinda "repeat template" where once a repeat item has been added then each appearance of such can be individually appended/edited...
example:
if say each monday there was a lecture listed - then each individual listing can be uniquely appended to display lecture's topic, speaker, and what not:
Feb 4 - Lecture: How SMF was started
Feb 11 - Lecture: Who's who in SMF team
Feb 18 - Lecture: SMF features
Feb 25 - Lecture: How to break SMF
anywho - how to figure out how to do stuff like that (AND make such user friendly) is one of my strengths (spelling isn't ;) ) - i'll look into the type of "exceptions" you mentioned as well...
and yeah i saw that within the Mod Guidelines
QuoteMust leave nothing more behind on uninstall then language strings, database tables, and database rows
still don't like it - but it's not really a big issue - just wondered...
lot's more to cover -- i'll be back - soonish - perhaps by monday i'll even have solutions for some things...
just mainly wanted to express i'm not likely to leave you/project high and dry.
Quote
Feb 4 - Lecture: How SMF was started

Currently, 'calendarInsertEvent()' (in Sources/Calendar.php) writes a single record to the db. Let the user click something that tells the code to write a record for each event to the db....
I added two options that control the display of the Moon Phase. Look under 'Features and Options', 'Layout and Options' in admin.
The updated package is here: http://www.planetcurran.com/smf/repeatEvents_1_1.zip
Uninstall 1.0 first..... Good thing the db doesn't get reset when you uninstall - you'd lose any repeating events you've already entered!
cheers,
Chris
OK - just tripled checked, on a 2nd virgin install....
while this mod is installed, when entering to edit an existing event > the edit form does not reflect original dates - and so dates need to be re-entered upon every edit (not the case without this mod)
note event date of Feb 7
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fthisparticular.com%2Fsmfstuff%2Ffeb7event.gif&hash=787fec33a9b852ad06041d1e2e80da1a915a44aa)
when i click the red asterisk to edit the event i get the following

notice how it reflects earliest date of smf's default install > January 1st 2004 - instead of event's actual date of Feb 7 2007
this effect takes place on 'one time events' (have not checked other type of events yet) - this effect is caused by the mod.
i shall get to the bottom of this effect ;)

I just tried to dup and it still works fine here.... I wonder what we're doing diff.... After you enter the event, can you please chk the db raw to see if it's being written to the db correctly?
Chris
ahh - i didn't see your last post up there
LOL! > "you'd lose any repeating events you've already entered!" < yeah, i thought bout that - my "wonderings" are pretty unfounded > given the size of smf's DB - but if it was more complex then such would be an issue...
i'll check out 1.1, thx ;)
i'm gonna PM you info to my default install so you can check out the effect i speak of (went up minutes ago) -- gimme a few minutes to type the PM > i type slow...
Soooo.....
i had some time to check out the issue i mentioned concerning how when editing an event it does not retain original dates >>> would you believe it >>> it's a browser thing - turns out it, what i was speaking of, has effect i mentioned (doesn't work properly) on the most popular browser there is >>> the dreaded IE6 - yup, that's right - with the mod installed, somehow original dates are not retained in the event edit form while using IE6 >>> can you believe it? :)
This mod doesn't seem to work with any other skins, can you give a list of things modified so i can implement them on my skin.
open up the mod zipfile and view the install file inside it... this has instructions on what code to add, change or remove.
I can confirm that it's an IE6 issue (I use Firefox). I have it fixed and will be posting an update soon...

cool...
what a "weird" surprise/"bug" - huh?
I've posted an update of this mod: http://www.planetcurran.com/smf/repeatEvents_1_2.zip
This version corrects a IE display error and adds a few config items. To turn the display of the Moon Phases on/off, go to Admin|Calendar and scroll to the bottom of the list:
Display Moon phases: Turns the display of the Moon Phases on/off
Moon Phase text color: The color of the text used to display the Moon Phase info.
Tested with 1.1.1 and 1.1.2.
Enjoy!

Hi Chris,
I just tried to install this using the package manager and got the following results:

P.S.
Thank you very much for putting this mod together. I'm shocked that this hasn't been done already by the dev team and, after reading this thread and others requesting recurring events as far back as 2005, I'm wondering if the dev team isn't listening to the community. I'm very thankful to them for all the work they've done with SMF and it's an amazing piece of software so I'm not trying to bust their chops.
I'm looking forward to seeing this mod approved -- it's long past due that recurring events be added to the best piece of Forum software I've found out there -- SMF.
What version of SMF and what mods do you have installed?

I'm really looking forward to using this mod. Chris, if there's anything I can do at all to help please let me know.
Thanks again for the hard work.

thanks dawyndham - i think i got it (right in the area you 'pointed' to)....
i THINK the problem is the last search operation to Calendar.template.php looks for "line feed" (or a "CR" - carraige return) after "
?>"
____________________________
?>( RIGHT HERE )
]]></search>
____________________________
BUT in Calendar.template.php there is no "line feed" after the last "
?>"
- it
stops dead right after that last "
?>"
SO i changed:
_________________________________
<operation>
<search position="replace"><![CDATA[
</table>
</form>';
}
?>
]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[
</table>
</form>';
if ($context['event']['repeating']=='0')
echo '
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
swapEndDate(\'none\');
// ]]>]]<![CDATA[></script>';
}
?>
]]></add>
</operation>
_________________________________
TO:
_________________________________
<operation>
<search position="replace"><![CDATA[
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>';
}
]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>';
if ($context['event']['repeating']=='0')
echo '
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
swapEndDate(\'none\');
// ]]>]]<![CDATA[></script>';
}
]]></add>
</operation>
_________________________________
in search function i simply dropped "?>" and reached up higher in the file (php) to assure unique hit (may not be best - but creates quick fix)
AND NOW all "
Test successful" - also (BTW) installing now gives "The package was installed successfully. You should now be able to use whatever functionality it adds or changes; or not be able to use functionality it removes." - in other words > all looks good (so far, as far as installation ;) )
the resulting effect to Calendar.template.php (at its end/bottom) is...
(note i grabbed a little more of file to show context):
_________________________________
echo '
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>';
if ($context['event']['repeating']=='0')
echo '
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
swapEndDate(\'none\');
// ]]></script>';
}
?>

lol -- oddly in trying to get code to look good in my post above i used 'pre' tags > but lost 'returns' in its display --- lol
so please don't take above code display literally :)
hmmm > since the echo statement is enclosed in single quotes would double quotes work for the parameter being passed to swapEndDate - i know double quotes work fine in echo's using single quotes without the need to escape them, but i don't know exactly (as yet) what or how you want swapEndDate's parameter to be passed - would double quotes work for this??
e.g.
swapEndDate("none");
OK, It tested OK, and installed but there is a bug.
When I add an event it doesn't respect the end date. The first time I tried it crashed the system by adding an event every day until infinity. I removed the mod and tried again, this time with a monthly event, spanning three months and there are at least 6 that I have found so far.
dawyndhah and ooop,
The CDATA issue was addressed here a few days ago:
http://tinyurl.com/yujqza
Another pair of eyes could verify that I did what I was instructed to do. ooop, you had the previous version of the mod installed - you did remember to uninstall it before trying this one, right? Why you guys are having troubles with the mod is very confusing in a number of ways.
1) I have a virgin install of 1.1.1 here. The mod installs and operates properly during my tests.
2) When I install the 1.1.2 mod (effectively upgrading it to 1.1.2) I can also install and operate the calendar mod. I rather doubt the 1.1.2 upgrade is causing problems, but even if it was it doesn't explain the 1.1.1 problems ooop is having. So.... WTF?
dawyndhah, Let me work through this install thing first...
Chris
Chris --- when i say "virgin install" of smf i mean virginal in every sense --- to give your work proper attention (even though i'm pretty busy), i create a fresh/new/virgin install -- then proceed with latest version of your mod....
and note i'm not the only one with the issues mentioned...
why some expeience such issues and some (you for instance) do not, i can only venture to guess - and lamely at that >> type of server maybe????
also i have to admit my ignorance as far as how "anal" smf's package manager is - but when i had checked out repeatEvents_1_2.xml in my editor that indicates/displays "End of Line" i noticed:
________________________
}[CR][LF]
[CR][LF]
?>[CR][LF]
________________________
where as Calendar.template.php (of smf 1.1.1) is:
________________________
}[LF]
[LF]
?>
________________________
WITH NOTHING (NO "End of Line" OF ANY KIND) AFTER THAT FINAL "
?>"
Sooo - i figured i'd give it a spin and like i said -- it did the trick...
SMF's files are typically written in linux text, which does not use <cr><lf>
and the ?> should never have anything after it, since that can actually cause issues with the compiling of the file.

Beats me. After I ingest some coffee, I'm going to jump back into this from the start and re-check everything. So far, I'm the only one that seems to be able to install v1.2. Due to the results of that conversation in the Package SDK thread, I changed some settings in my editor - maybe that's burning me. But I STILL don't understand why I'm not able to dup these issues. I'm running this on a FC4 Linux server with Apache 2.2.3 and PHP 5.1.6. I'm also using the zip file on planetcurran.com as the test.

Yea, that was asked and answered a few days ago in that Package SDK thread link I posted earlier. I was editing the suspect file in both vi and tse, maybe that's botched up something....

I presume you meant to say "parse" not "compile" as PHP code isn't "compiled". How do you figure? The "?>" simply turns the php mode off returning to standard html mode which is fine with CR's. PHP is fine with CR's, so I'm not sure what issues you refer to....

Could you please check to see if v1.1 installs and operates properly on your system?

Really!? Sounds like a bug in the server sw to me. Reading in a LOC is trivial and handling the various EOL formats is also trivial (e.g. fgets()). Hmmm. When you say "server" are you referring to Linux vs Windows vs etc, or Apache vs IIS vs etc?

i wondered the same thing...
i've seen tons of php files that continue beyond php's final ?>
both with blank 'run on' and HTML to file's end.
it seems to me, as you said, Chris, at such point standard HTML simply starts - and a few blank "lines/CR/LF" doesn't interfere with HTML display at all (well in very rare cases it does > sometimes creating a space in page's display where it's undesired)....
let's not forget the real issue - not how EOL effects php and all -- but > is it real search creteria (at least with some systems
what all this really gets me wondering about is what and where is the regular expression engine that smf uses --- what i wonder now is it possible the package manager is calling an external search 'utility' and that is the variable that is different on all our systems -------- specifically, perhaps one 'engine' looks for a trailing LF wher perhaps another one doesn't < stab in the dark....
basically, the above, however, is now a mute point - in that both the simple, and now seeming proper, thing to do is merely match search string not only line by line, but also LF by LF (without them neato RC's) < that i think pretty much would cure all "simple" mod install issues - besides, the thing to do seems to be to match the smf LF convention anyway....

Actually, 'dos2unix filename' from the linux command line works even easier. :)
Removing the CR's is simple, certainly. However, before I run off and remove them, I'd like to try and understand how I got here to begin with. I'm also trying to understand why I can install on both 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 and (seemingly) no one else can.... My first guess was that I was working from a different zip than you guys, but I've checked that more than once....

Chris,
1.1 Installs without a problem, and doesn't seem to have the same bug that I'm seeing. What 1.2 is doing is when I try select an end date for the repeating it doesn't de-select the box that says no end date.

What does a Ritchie Chretien have to do with this? :D I agree, they're
really neat... (http://www.rcopticalsystems.com)
LOL - is that the thing you've been using to inspect the php? - it looks like a telescope - LOL
:D :D :D
hey there - anybody got the word on the search engine the package manager uses --- clueless >> is it PHP version "depended" (main PHP install)
<sigh>.... OK, I think I have a handle on what's going on. I uninstalled everything, bringing me back to 1.1.1 and looked at Calendar.template.php - it had a pair of CR/LF after the the closing ?>. I looked at Calendar.template.php in the original zip that I installed from and it does NOT have the CR/LF after the closing ?>. The only answer that makes sense is that I must had added those blank lines after the closing ?> - nothing else holds water. Since it was at the EOF, I wouldn't have noticed it and it would not have interfered with previous versions of this mod (i.e. 1.0 and 1.1 install fine for everyone).
To start correcting things, I yanked the Calendar.template.php from the install zip and started over with the 1.2 mod (now 1.2.1). During that process I discovered how I got into the CR/LF problem to start with. Calendar.template.php (from the org install zip) has a mix of CR/LF and LF EOL formats! The editor I use has a "smart" EOL option - if it loads a file and detects only LF's, it will use LF's as the EOL char. If it detects only CR's, it uses that. And if it detects CR/LF, it will use that EOL format. Upon loading Calendar.template.php my editor detected the CR/LF in the file and switched into "DOS" mode EOL format!
I'm working on packaging this up.....
sheesh - wow -- Chris you're doing awsome...
i wonder if a "new" release calls for a new thread?
OK, lets give this one a whirl:
http://www.planetcurran.com/smf/repeatEvents_1_2_1.zip
See the readme for an added feature.
Yeah, it installs and works OK.
One thing I did notice though. If I place a recurring event to happen every day with no end it really kills the server I'm running on. Just can't handle writing that many events to the SQL DB or something.
Thanks a bunch Chris. I've been waiting for this functionality for the past 12 months, and your timing is immaculate. Just as Uni started again and our weekly kayaking sessions resumed. I just wish I knew more about php and xml could have helped you with your issues before.
Hmmm. That's odd. I just tried that here at it seems to work fine (repeating every day, no end). I'm not sure why your server would be slowing down either - my old 450SMP w/512mb is running real snappy, even with the test event. BTW, there is only one entry in the DB for an event. Repeating events are created on the fly (for the current month only).
ooop, anyone else, would you pls try this test?

Hmm, Interesting. It may have been something to do with the dodgy slow connection here at work then, and I incorrectly assumed it was related to the forum server.
It seems to be working well though, it really does blow my mind that this hasn't been added as a default function considering the length of time people have been asking for it.
Hi Chris,
I just installed on v1.1.2 and it works great! Thank you for a much needed mod!
The only problem I'm having is that I can't turn off moon phases or change the moon phase text color.
I change them in the calendar admin section and it doesn't change on the site at all.
I was looking for the code to change it in the files and can't seem to find it.
Thanks again, great mod!
--Ken

I can't reproduce this. I wonder if you have to do like I do and hit the "Save" button twice before it works? This doesn't (seem to) happen with IE, but it does with Firefox (1.5.0.10)...
BTW: I installed the version on the mod site into my test system (1.1.2) (bridged with joomla, BTW) and it seems to work perfectly.
tested:
Moon Phases activate/deactivate
Moon phases colours
recurring event - every day: no end date
deleted recurring event - every day: no end date
recurring event - every day: 5 days
changed recurring event - every day: 5 days to be 3 days
recurring event - every other week: til May (linked to post)
Revised:
I just noticed some undefined notices in my smf error log
action=calendar;sa=post
8: Undefined offset: 4
File: /.../Themes/default/Post.template.php (eval?)
Line: 493
the undefined offsets are for 4, 5, 6, 7
Thanks Kindred. I'm not sure how you found that with all the other errors SMF is generating! Here is the updated mod package that fixers that error and also removes "span" from the ManageCalendar code/admin screen:
http://www.planetcurran.com/smf/repeatEvents_1_2_2.zip
Here are the errors that dominate my log:
8: Undefined index: topic
File: /opt/www2/htdocs/spac/forum/Sources/BoardIndex.php
Line: 508
Every visit to the forum home generates four of these errors (line 508, 515, 516, 521).
interestingly enough, that error is generated on one of my systems, but only for people with global mod or admin access... regular users don't cause the errors.
-edit- looked at it quickly tonight....
seems to be a few other things popping up now. :(
8: Undefined index: cal_maxspan
File: /.../Sources/ManageCalendar.php
Line: 259
2: Missing argument 3 for db_query()
File: /.../Sources/Subs.php
Line: 238
2: Missing argument 2 for db_query()
File: /.../Sources/Subs.php
Line: 238
Hmmm. Yep, I forgot to remove the 'span' code from ManageCalendar.php:
'cal_allowspan' => isset($_POST['cal_allowspan']) ? '1' : '0',
'cal_maxspan' => (int) $_POST['cal_maxspan'],
I'll have it in the next posting (it's not critical so I won't repost for that right now). The last two errors in Subs.php - that's not me (right?).
I think those are related to the mod, since they only appeared after the installation, when I went to view the calendar....
I dunno about that.... I checked all the files I touched and all have the proper format for db_query(). Moreover, when I view the calendar no errors are generated in my log. Head scratcher...
hrm.... it's a fresh install... (I just over-wrote everything today while attempting to clean up some other junk)
I'll try 1.2.3 when you post it and see if it happens again....
Kindred,
I have a calendar feature I need to add for our club use that seems rather close to your attendees mod. I need to be able to have (for lack of a better name) event "coordinators" and event "participants". To clarify:
Event participant: Any user who has agreed (or been volunteered<g>) to participate in an event.
Event coordinator: The person(s) in charge of the event. They are the main contact point and person(s) to see when things change. They can modify the event details, and can add/remove participants. They can also elevate event participants to coordinator status (allowing for multiple coordinators).
Common to coordinators and participants: PM's can be "broadcast" to all event members.
Events: Any changes to event details provides the option to send notifications to all event members. A 'max number of participants' field needs to be added.
It seems that my "participants" is very close in concept to your "attendees". My "coordinators" are attendees with special privileges. Now the question: Do you think that you're going to be able to find time to work on your mod in the next few weeks? If not, I'm going to jump into this (I am retired ya know :)).
Chris,
You know, ever since I promized to update the phatcalpack, I have found myself incredibly busy and the niggling little last details have taken me months.
What I am trying to say is... PLEASE! You are welcome to do your mod, since I have no idea when I will be able to actually finish up the phatcalpack. :(
If you do that, the only thing left for the phatcalpack would be the ability to upload a holiday list (originally done by Grudge early in 1.0)...
Actually, your concept of the attendees is more sleek than mine. I took JackRabbit's original and just clutzed it together for 1.0...
Interesting...
I uploaded a fresh copy of SMF 1.1.2 (full install), overwriting everything.
All of my
8: Undefined index: topic
File: /.../Sources/BoardIndex.php
Line: 508
messages stopped...
I think it may have had something to do with an interaction between the 1.1.2 update mod package and one of the other installed mods.
Hmmm,
It seems to be interferring with previously posted events in the calendar. When i install the mod, any events that currenly span multiple days cease to span.
I'm getting the following errors too:
Quote

Seems strange to me as the mod doesn't touch subs.php
I'm also still losing the calendar every time I post a recurring event. If I try and display any month that has a recurring event it just displays a blank screen.

That is normal. The 'span' logic has been replaced with true repeating events.

v1.2.3 has a fix for the 'add_settings.php' issue. This file (add_settings.php) is taken from the SDK, and is obviously broken....

Dunno. Can you look at your http server logs to see if there is some error?
Kindred,
OK, then I'll start thinking in that direction. If I may:
1) What names should these roles be titled? My names of 'coordinator' and 'participant' are a bit wordy. I came up with these names to reflect the nature of our intended use - general event handling and a classroom/instructor/student type of interaction. Are there better terms for these two roles?
2) I've never looked at your prev implementation of this feature. What UI mechanism did you use?
3) Did the event have to be linked to a post before it was available to 'attendees'? Events that are not linked have no href to click on, so I presume this is the case?
4) I (think I) saw somewhere that the attendee id was stored in a TEXT field in the event db. I'm not sure which is better - two TEXT fields in the db for each event (coordinators and participants), or, a separate table linked to the event id. The former means easier/less code, but wastes some db space; the latter is more efficient wrt db space usage, but is a little more code and maybe a (very) tiny performance hit. Opinions?
1- Honestly, I think coordinator and participant are probably the best solutions... However, you could make the actual terms definable on a per installation basis in the admin section (?)
2- It was just a display at the top of the post (similar to the way Polls display) that indicated current attendees and had a link to add/remove your name form the list.
3- yes, the event for attendees had to be linked to a post...
4- Hmmm... I would actually suggest the second option. Having now managed a site that runs with a database in the hundreds of gigabytes, I have to say that anything that decreases db overhead is a good idea.

I certainly understand that dynamic. Before retiring, I was CTO at Tyler Retail, Inc (tylernet.com) and one of our customers is Tweeter. Talk about monster db's! Everything is measured in terabytes there... :)
Upon further reflection, I've decided to include the new event fields into the standard calendar db table. There is only one record (row) for each event, and I don't think there's going to be enough event records (rows) to warrant the added complexity of a shadow db. If anyone has a strong argument against this, speak up....
I'm off for the New Moon weekend and will check back in on Tue or Wed....
cheers,
Chris

Hey Chris.
I've been using SMF at work for my particular group to help in with our communication and I have the calendar mod already installed but was curious if the attendees code would be added soon?
I'm glad you're doing this, Chris. I too have been waiting for some time for this very feature. Tnx! I'll be using this on a car club site where members attend events, such as car shows and cruises, and many area businesses hold cruise-ins, so this area stays pretty busy, and the cruise-ins are all recurring events. The attendees list will also be awesome!
8) 8) 8)
Definitely looking forward to this mod!
Jesse,
the recurring events mod is already released. See the link in the first post.

Oh I was referring to the organizer/attendee part :)
I am logged-in as Admin and am experiencing some errors after I installed this mod in my fresh installation of SMF 1.1.2. Below are screenshots and explanations on errors experienced:
PHP tag appearing on the top of the Calendar Page:

Upon clicking the "Link To Calender" button, I was redirected to the Edit page for that Calendar event then saw the second screen (see image in the bottom). Some codes about Javascript appears at this Edit page. Can these codes be removed from being displayed? Has anyone experienced this?

Hope anybody can help me. Thank you.
Also do you know where I can find the tag to change the text color of Holidays? I can't seem to find it anyhere. I've looked in the templates css file and index already. The color is: #000080. Thank you. :)
the holiday colour is defined in SMF admin > calendar > holiday color

PHP tag appearing on the top of the Calendar Page:
I am getting the exact same tags showing on the Calendar page. However, I have version 1.1.1. I'm guessing this is being caused by sources/Calendar.php?
QuoteHope anybody can help me. Thank you.
Same here.
thanks,
Adam
Yeah, those are the tags I was seeing when I was having the problems I discussed a month or so ago. I thought I was the only one.
I'm having the same issue (PHP tag appearing on the top of the calendar page).

Got it. Thanks! :)
I've been looking for a forum software with excellent Calendar Features. This mod made me consider SMF. It would be great too if the Attendee Listing is someday included in the mod.
If the errors I mentioned above will be fixed, I will probably replace my old e107 powered website. Hope someone knows how to fix this mod's errors. :)
Pardon the brevity of this post - I'm camping and using a cell phone attached to my laptop to access the net (as in S L O W). For future reference, if it's near New Moon, I'm almost always unavailable. I go camping for about a week around that time of the month....
I think the rouge tag has already been fixed - it's posted somewhere back in this thread with a link to the zip on my home page. I'll check in more detail when I return (Sunday).
when you get back, chris, maybe you can upload an update the mod available for d/l on the mod site?
for everyone else...

Here is the updated mod package that fixers that error and also removes "span" from the ManageCalendar code/admin screen:

I can confirm version 1.2.2 removes the PHP bracket from the top left, but the script code is still displayed at the bottom of the Post Event screen.
It says, "<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[ swapEndDate('none'); // ]]></script>". A previous poster (brelwit) in this thread provided a screen shot of the error.
(Maybe this should be broken out to a new thread? If so, could a moderator please perform that action?)
Short explanation: The "Force default board in events" setting in the "Repeating Calendar Events" mod does not function on the second Post Event screen.
1. Is this a bug or feature?
2. Can anybody confirm my findings?
Long explanation:
Environment
- SMF 1.1.2
- Default theme
- Repeating Calendar Events v1.2.2
The calendar options are configured as shown...

http://img377.imageshack.us/img377/4884/postevent0on8.jpg
On the first Post Event screen, as expected, the Post In field is grayed out...

But, on the second Post Event screen (reached after clicking Post on the first screen), the Post In field defaulted to the first alphabetical board (not the board selected in the Calendar settings), and is not grayed out...

Can someone tell me how to code/configure it so it works on/with dutch language.
It works, but i cant see the written lines in dutch language. Wich files do i need to edit?
you will need to open modifications.english.php, find all of the strings added by this mod and then add the saem (translated) strings to modifications.dutch.php
At the top of my forum there's a ?>
How can I get rid of it?
Try reading a few posts back?

After installing Repeating Events for Calendar
I am running SMF 1.1.2
8: Undefined index: event
File: /home/xxxxx/xxxxxxxx/forums/Themes/default/Post.template.php
Line: 855
The Line refered to is:
if ($context['event']['repeating']=='0')
The error is showing up in admin error logs
Ideas?

Yep, I confirm that this bug also exists along with the "CDDATA..." code that appears at the bottom of some of the Calendar pages. These bugs are what's keeping me from using SMF. If these can be fixed then SMF is the only open source forum that I know of with a working Repeating Calendar.

Did you somehow add the tables and info in mysql which is in the # repeatEvents_modifyTables.php
Hi Poreman,
No i havnt, I just manually installed repeatEvents_1_2_1.xml.
but just looking at repeatEvents_modifyTables.php this is the table info I require ;D Give me a few hours and I'll let you know if it worked...
Thanks!
you really need to install v1.2.4 instead of 1.2.1
still need to see if anyone can figure out conflict from repeating events and Mod Users online today as stated in message #142
any php gurus out their that can figure this out
Appreciated
Poreman
updating the tables has worked! as poreman found... added it via phpmysql.
Thanks!
1.2.4 isnt avaliable from the mods? I always like the most up to date versions...

Havnt done anything with the settings.php just learning this smf system! Now that you point it out I'll just update the file like your script would :)
tks!
updates db_settings!
thanks, didnt seem to cause any probs though? just didnt give me the moons 8)
calv,
Well, if you're new to SMF, the last thing you should be doing is by-passing the package manager. I thought I was going to be a smarty pants when I started fooling with SMF last year and use CVS instead. Forget it. Stick to the package manager and don't by-pass it.
Also, I ran across that thread you created today (smf_calendar table stucture 1.1.2) - man, you need to S L O W down! :) You've got 10 other mods installed you forgot to mention when you told us the calendar mod wouldn't install via the package manager....
cheers,

v1.2.5 is posted.
1) When entering a new linked event, the post subject defaults to the event title.
2) Fixed the various error log issues.
Wow thanks for the new update! :)
I just made a quick test for version 1.2.4 and found the "CDATA..." snippet error does not appear anymore but also found out that there seems to be an error when posting an event that is "forced" to a specific topic. The related forum thread is not being created. I'll download the new version and test it further.

That's a new one to me.... I doubt 1.2.5 fixes this. Let me try to dup and I'll get back.
Psst: I've been sick these past few weeks (pneumonia), so I'm not at 100% yet. I may need a day or two extra while I re-charge my batteries. The wife is already fussing at me about being up & around too much now....

Yea, something odd is going on here....
It's ok Chris, I appreciate that you have made several updates to this mod already. Just take it easy and get well soon. :P
I may have some idea why the new error is happening. It may be that when the related field "Post In" is disabled in the second screen, the value for that field was not passed on when you click the Post button... because the field is DISABLED.
If we just make the visible "Post In" field as a dummy meaning rename the field to something different than "board" for display purposes only then create a new HIDDEN field that stores the real value and name that field "board", it might work. I want to do this but I don't know how or where to start modifying the codes... so I can just suggest.
Yea, that's what it is. Since the 'board' field is disabled, $_REQUEST has no 'board' element and that freaks out a bunch of things. To verify, I added a onclick="setLinked(0)" to the Post button and it doesn't die now. Problem is that if you use the back button, the 'board' field is enabled and available for selection - not what we want....
I suppose fudging in a hidden field is the only option left. Kindred, what do you think?
cheers,
Chris
yeah, SMF actually uses hidden fields alot this way, so I think that is the way to do it...
v1.2.6 is posted.
1) Fixed bug with forced forums in events.
No more additions or fixes for a few days folks. Enjoy!
Alright it now works! :D With this, SMF should now be the best free/open-source bulletin board system if you are looking for a Repeating Calendar module. This module is one of the reason that sets SMF apart and above from the others. I hope this module or similar one will be included in the next version of SMF as well.
Thanks Chris! :)
Chris
You have done a tremendous job the last couple of days, I was about to give up, I tried this one when it first come out hoping it would work for me. Had a lot of bugs, but you seemed to have some powerful bug spray cause it is working as I hoped. I have a event that I post every third Tuesday of the month I have been manually putting in if I remembered. With this no more problems.
Again
Thanks
Poreman
Well, I wouldn't call two bugs (one old, one recent) "a lot", but thanks anyway. :D Bug spray? Debugging SMF is easy compared to hardware drivers for the Linux kernel (http://tinyurl.com/yv4pxv)!
<channel change>
Kindred,
1) Do you have any experience with the PM subsystem in SMF? Is it documented anywhere? I need to be able to PM attendees...
2) Once I add the attendee stuff, this mod will have outgrown it's name. What's the procedure? I'm certainly not going back through that gauntlet called 'mod approval'....
cheers,
me
Kindred,
There's a (so called) mod online for LDAP authentication (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=213). It's not really a 'mod' in that there is no packaging (it's just a source file that you dump to your system - yuk). Do you know if anyone is doing anything with LDAP here (or possibly updating the previously mention 'mod')?
cheers,
me
Poreman,
Well, I'm obviously going to Hades! I click on the link above your "Please Visit' and I get a "Permission Denied"! :D :D :D
Chris,
The LDAP file change is the only one I know about that has been doing anything with LDAP. However, if I recall, the changes to the source were still being reviewed by the team, last time I looked.
As for the adding attendees... give the enhanced mod to me, and I'll see what I can do about getting it released as an "enhancement" to an approved mod. Especially since you are doing the work on the attendees which I slacked on with the PhatCalPack... :)
It'll need some testing on virgin systems (i.e. send it to me and one or two others to beta test for you) but you shouldn't have quite the delay of the original mod.
As for the PM system...
hmm..... I have not done anything with it... but i know there are more hooks built into the source than in any previous version.
you can check out
http://support.simplemachines.org/function_db/index.php and skim down to personalmessage.php
specifically
http://support.simplemachines.org/function_db/index.php?action=view_function;function=655
looks like it may be useful....
Kindred,
Thanks. Slacked? Now you're being too hard on yourself. What I see is that you're pretty busy helping a lot of other folks on this board....
That LDAP file is being reviewed? It's pretty old - you sure? I need LDAP connectivity and was going to hack it soon, but if it's going to be a standard feature of 2.0 then I can wait.
Attendees... I was thinking more of a rename or new name or something. "Repeating Events" doesn't really encompass what this is morphing into here. Something clever and original like "Calendar Mods" perhaps?
PM's... Thx, but I think I'll ignore the printed doc and read the source. :D Grep is your friend....
cheers,
me
Ok... I manually installed the MOD... and this is what I'm getting now... any ideas???
"Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in ...\Sources\Calendar.php on line 1279"
What happened? A whole page of q&a is missing.. ????
Before the $end error... I was getting this error:
"Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_FUNCTION, expecting '{' in ...\Sources\Calendar.php on line 385"
But then I did the { in front of "function calendarRepeatingEventArray($events, $low_date, $high_date," though, not sure where it closes???
Kindred split the discussion into another topic: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=171237.0
But on another note: Being desperate, I copied the modified files from the test board on that other server to my newly installed test board on the astronomy club server, and now I have the modifications installed, and they appear to be working. Maybe there's something weird with the server configuration, so I can't run the mod through the package manager, but at least I can install it manually. Hopefully, I can implement it into the astronomy club board without hassle...
Hum... I'll try that also Anroth... thanks for the idea :)
That didn't work :( Odd... is it possible for someone to just send me the mod'd files??? I'm hoping I only need the Source/Calendar.php file???
There are three modified files in /Sources, another three in /Themes/default and two in /Themes/default/languages. I extracted them from a freshly installed SMF 1.1.2, so they should work fine if you have a fresh board installation as well. If you have other mods installed, you'd have to extract the changes manually, I guess...
Andreas,

That didn't work :( Odd... is it possible for someone to just send me the mod'd files??? I'm hoping I only need the Source/Calendar.php file???
I tossed this together real quick (hope I didn't miss anything). Compare to this: http://www.planetcurran.com/smf/1.2.6_files.zip

Thank you VERY MUCH Chris & Anroth...
I replaced the Calendar.php file... and BAM... it works!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) <<<----- very happy... LOL.
I'm happy as well - I transferred all changes to my files and even managed to do a translation. :)

Yep - this is a bug that exists in the 1.1.2 codeset (probably prior versions too - I didn't check). Is there a procedure here at SMF, or do I just fix it (I already have the fix)? I don't want to step on any toes....
cheers,

you can make a post in the bugs board along with your recommended fix. :)
Sorry to bother you again, but I ran into a small issue. At first, I thought it was because I missed something when copying your code, but I tried it on the board where the installation went successfully, and I had the same problem. So here it goes:
I use the calendar with "Show days as links to 'Post Event'" enabled, and I created a separate board for calendar events, because I usually provide some additional information that wouldn't fit in the calendar overview. "Default board to post events in:" is set to the calendar board. After installing your mod, the calendar board isn't selected anymore when posting new events, but the first board in the board overview (the one at the top). I can still select any other board, but it's rather annoying to do so.
I assume that's why you added the "Force default board in events:" option, which disables the drop down box in the "post event" dialogue, but it's not the calendar board that is selected, but still the first board in the overview. I thought "fine, so let's move the calendar board to the top", and now it was selected as desired. But to my surprise, I wasn't able to edit events anymore, the board told me that they were off-limit to me (being admin with all permissions!). The only way to get rid of them was deleting them manually from the database with phpMyAdmin.
For now, I leave my calendar board at the top, so it gets selected automatically in the drop-down box, and disable the "Force default board in events:" option. Does anybody else have the same issue? As I said, it happens with the board where the mod got properly installed, and it's the same with the board that I modded manually. Or is it related to the bug posted above? As usual, it's all gibberish for me again. ;)
I seem to have the same problem, I have the "Default board to post events in" set to "Informational - Events" which I had created for the Events, I checked the "Force default board in events" If the Forced default is checked it doesn't go to the selected default, in my case it was " ID_BOARD = 0" which is a non=existant board it should have read if it had put the event to the chosen board " ID_BOARD = 24" the id of the events board. This is why you got the error it was trying to access something that wasn't there. I unchecked the "forced default", which lets you manually select where you want the event posted, that will work for me until a solution is posted. It seems to be a problem assigning the event to the chosen board for the event in default mode.
Thanks
Poreman
Andreas & Poreman,
I can't reproduce your reports. I tried it with different boards in both IE and Firefox. Everything appears and operates as expected. All db files are in expected state (no 0's in board column). Dunno what to tell you to try next...
I will install v.1.2.4 tomorrow and test on my site...
Hi Guys
Hope I am in the right place for help on Chris's Repeating Events Mod.
I have a virtually brand new install of SMF 1.1.2. Have installed the Repeating events mod (1.2.6) via the package manager. The problem is that no labels are displaying for any of the new fields added to either the Add Event page or Calendar Admin page. Also on the Add Event page nothing is coming up in the drop down lists for setting up recurrences, although the boxes are there.
Clearly something is not right. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the mod but with same result. Any pointers or fixes very much appreciated!
Thanks
John B
1- uninstalling and reinstalling will not do anythign different. Computers don't learn by repetition...
2- Are you using a UTF-8 language?
Thanks Kindred
1 - True, but sometimes I do! (mega newbie at this stuff).
2- Yes
John
Quote from: johnburkett on May 15, 2007, 11:54:40 AM
2- Yes
English? If yes, then PM me the page source.....
UTF... that's the problem.
The mod (and most mods, actually) only installs strings in the *.english.php files...
Default Forum Language is set to 'English-utf8'
Is there another setting I should try?
I have sent Chris the page code.

Q: Should the attendee logic apply to repeating events with no end date?
In my use of repeating events, these types of events aren't the kind that requires management of attendees (club meetings, board meetings, etc). Allowing folks to 'attend' a never-ending event sounds like a problem waiting to happen. Non-repeating and repeating events with an end date seem like the only event types that should allow attendee management... Yes, no?
cheers,
me
That brings up an interesting point...
What happens if you choose to attend a meeting that is recurring?
I asusme, the current design adds you as an attendee for all recurrences.
What if you only plan to attend ONE of the meetings?
Is that possible, or is the logic to handle that just not even present in the SMF event code?
Kindred/Chris
Enlightenment has dawned! Changed the setting to 'English' and all is well.
I will now disappear back into my novice user corner!
Many thanks
Regards
JohnB
Kindred,
Good point. That level of granularity isn't present at this time. Maybe later... It would only work for recurring events w/ end dates... The general strategy might be to determine date range, populate a combox box with those dates, allow user to select one or more, save those selections for later reaction... I think.

I can't reproduce their issues either. The "Force default board in events:" is using the board I have selected in "Default board to post events in:".

Maybe this will help corral the error!

Good point. Basically, I feel there should be one unique Attendee List per Day if its possible. So irregardless whether an Event is repeating or not, it can contain an Attendee List per day.
Here is how I think it may work although I'm not sure if this is possible with SMF:
[01] The Owner of the Event can check a box to enable the Attendee List when creating an Event. This is just a simple flag with a value of 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled).
[02] After the Event (repeating or not) has been created and the user clicks on a related date link on the Calendar for more details, the user is either redirected to the linked Forum Topic page (if enabled) OR to the related Attendee List page (if enabled). If user was redirected to the Forum Topic, there should be a link/button there to access the related Attendee List page and vice-versa. If the Forum Topic was not enabled, the user is immediately redirected to the related Attendee List page for that date. If both Forum Topic and Attendee List page is enabled, user is first redirected to the linked Forum Topic as default. The logged-in user can only register once to be included as Attendee per date. He should also be able to un-register as attendee per date anytime he wants.
[03] The database record for the Attendee List per date is created ONLY upon the first registration of an Attendee PER DAY. So maybe the code checks if the user is the first to register as an attendant for that day and thereafter creates the necessary matching attendee record.
[04] The Owner of the Event may of course still normally click the edit link (*) per day to manage the Event details and corresponding Attendee List (if enabled).
NOTE: This may just work as the Attendee List is created only upon the registration of the first Attendee per date.
Brelwit...
we just discussed that... SMF's logic/design does not currently support it.

Poreman,

No, not really. Your situation appears to be unique. Do you have other mods installed? From your post I'm guessing that $_REQUEST is being destroyed somehow. What sequence of events leads to these error log entries?
Can you share the fix? Maybe it will straighten up some of the other problems.
The fix is below, BUT, it will have no effect on your issues (the cause of those entries is rather minor). Note that you should save a copy of BoardIndex.php before you change anything - if you don't you won't be able to install the next release of this codeset...
In BoardIndex.php: replace this
$this_event['can_edit'] = allowedTo('calendar_edit_any') || ($this_event['poster'] == $ID_MEMBER && allowedTo('calendar_edit_own'));
with this:
$this_event['can_edit'] = allowedTo('calendar_edit_any') || (isset($this_event['poster']) && ($this_event['poster'] == $ID_MEMBER && allowedTo('calendar_edit_own')));
cheers,

belwit,
To expand on the exchange Kindred and I were having prior to your post.... The calendar events are not stored in the db on a 'per day' basis. Only the event definition is saved to the db, and all day entries on a calendar are generated 'on the fly'. Take a look at the data in your calendar table with some kind of mysql tool and you'll see what I mean....
cheers,

I'm not sure what you meant about SMF's logic/design not supporting it etc. But now I do since Chris explained it clearer. I'm now happy how the current Calendar works though. If anybody needs the Attendee List badly, you may just post it in the linked Forum Topic as a workaround. :P

Yaiks! I see. Thanks for the explanation. :D But is it possible to pass the value for the complete Current Date clicked and Event ID in the href of the clickable day in the Calendar in real-time? If it is, the Attendee List feature may be possible but a new table may be needed for this I guess. hmm... Just a wild thought.
yes, if Chris were to go the route of allowing an attendee for one session of a recurring event, this would require a new table that would associate:
UniqueID | EventID | Date of Event | Attendee/organizer user ID | attendee/organizer flag
this list could then be assembled on the fly each time the attendee list for a specific event is viewed.
Something is definitly interefering with the repeating event.

Old UNIX hack goes screaming into the forest... NO!!!!!! Don't EVER use permissions of 777 to install ANYTHING! If you need that permissions config to install, then you have some other problem (usually ownership) that needs to be found/fixed first. What user/group is the HTTP server running under in these problem systems (in the apache config)? If Apache can't create a 'temp' dir in 'packages', check the ownership and perms of 'packages' and it's parents (to match the user/group that apache is running under). Also, what are the <Directory> settings in apache config for these problem installs? Lastly, is PHP being run in 'safe_mode' on these problem systems?
The problem with telling inexperienced users to use 777 perms is that you really, really need to know what you're doing to run a system with perms of 777. It's akin to telling a newb to install everything as 'root'.... bad idea. Real bad idea.
QuoteChris, we'd love any help on this.
Can the PM help us out by providing something more than "Modification Parse Error"? Like maybe what the error is? With the PM operating in "idiot light" mode, there's really nothing anyone can do on this end.
cheers,
me
this is getting off topic from the calendar mod... but usually the requirement to use chmod 777 is due to the HOST's configuration, running php as "nobody" rather than running php in CGI mode and/or as the site owner.
typically chmod 777 is not really that big a security risk. I had a site running with every file and directory set to 777 for 4 years with no problems.
I drove a vehicle for 20+ years before I started wearing a seat belt. Nothing ever happened - I guess seat belts are really required? :D Proper security is a process, not an item. Blindly setting perms to 777 is considered bad practice by all unix security experts, for the past 40+ years. It may not burn you today, next year or four years from now, but, it could burn down everything you care about in an instant. Why run that risk when there are safer ways to do the same thing?
At any rate, we could all be chasing our tails here, not knowing exactly what the error is. If only the package manager had a debug mode.....

BTW: The results of last weekend: www.planetcurran.com/displayImg.php?img=ngc5139
Here is the base I'm working from for the new package. I created this for a number of reasons, but one is so that I can test out features of the PM I'd not used before (e.g. adding new files).
http://www.planetcurran.com/smf/essentialCalendarMods_0_1.zip
The version number of 0.1 reflects the beta status of this package (I consider anything < 1.0 to be a beta version number). Remove any previous install of "Repeating Events" and install as normal. Please let me know if I missed something obvious.

you realize that the mod you downloaded is a true beta?
On the other hand, the code that you are referencing is part of the older mod and those variable indexes should be defined...
OK I'll uninstall that one and install repeatEvents_1_2_6.zip. And I will reiterate That this is a completely clean upload all code came from the essentialCalendarMods_0_1.zip mod. I created a testsmf directory, uploaded a downloaded today smf 1.1.2.zipinstalled with a newly created a testsmf sql database logged into admin installed the essentialCalendarMods_0_1.zip mod only, nothing else and got the errors, so the code had to come from the mod I installed. Old code or not?
QuoteOn the other hand, the code that you are referencing is part of the older mod and those variable indexes should be defined...

I think there's an xml file missing from the package. I'm about to download and try it out. I need annual events on my site and this might just do the trick....if it works ;)
Edit: nevermind about the missing file. I was comparing to the repeatevents mod and missed the second one, but it's there.
OK, uninstalled the essentialCalendarMods_0_1.zip mod. using package manager, results shows successful, installed repeatEvents_1_2_6.zip Via package manager, installed shows successful through entire process. Went to calendar events post via calendar by clicking on date for event. went to admin error log. Log shows exactly the same errors as I listed above per-bata so something is amiss I'm not a php programmer, but I can tell that somewhere something is wrong, I just don't know what.

I'm using default, I haven't changed any settings at all left everything default from existing install, Only thing I did was turn on calendar as it is default off. I am using the smf 1.1.2 right out of the box nothing changed from the default settings.

Dave,
OK, re-install the essential mod, zip up the files changed by the mod and send them to curran dot chris at gmail dot com. Let me see if there's a difference....

I'm getting those same errors using the default 1.1.2 theme.
I also had to manually modify the calendar.php file and remove it from essentialCalendarMods_0.1.xml before installing. No biggie.
Tested the annual events and it seems to be what I wanted. So far, so good.
One other thing. It's not respecting the "Default board to post events in" selected in Calendar settings. It seems to be picking the first board on the forum as default.

This is an old issue I couldn't get solved either.

cferd,
Someone else reported this before, but I and others were never able to dup the issue. Are you comfortable putting a few lines of debug code into a few of your source files?
I Am, I would like to see what's up
Poreman
I managed to get it working correctly by commenting out line 286 in Post.php and uncommenting line 346.
$context['event']['board'] = !empty($board) ? $board : $modSettings['cal_defaultboard'];
Ok. I was able to get rid of all errors on my site by modifying the Post.php file. So far it's all working as it should except I have an event module in Joomla, which SMF is bridged to, and new events don't show up there immediately. I'll have to check on that.
In the mean time, please let me know if this may cause me issues in the future. Thanks.
I changed from this code:
if (!isset($_REQUEST['year']))
$_REQUEST['year'] = $today['year'];
$context['event']['month'] = (int) $_REQUEST['month'];
$context['event']['year'] = (int) $_REQUEST['year'];
$context['event']['day'] = isset($_REQUEST['day']) ? $_REQUEST['day'] : ($_REQUEST['month'] == $today['mon'] ? $today['mday'] : 0);
//$context['event']['span'] = isset($_REQUEST['span']) ? $_REQUEST['span'] : 1;
$context['event']['board'] = $_REQUEST['board'];
$context['event']['repeating'] = $_REQUEST['repeating'];
$context['event']['repeat1_parm1'] = $_REQUEST['repeat1_parm1'];
$context['event']['repeat1_parm2'] = $_REQUEST['repeat1_parm2'];
$context['event']['repeat2_parm1'] = $_REQUEST['repeat2_parm1'];
$context['event']['repeat2_parm2'] = $_REQUEST['repeat2_parm2'];
$context['event']['repeat2_parm3'] = $_REQUEST['repeat2_parm3'];
$context['event']['repeat_end_type']= $_REQUEST['repeat_end_type'];
$context['event']['repeat_end_month']=$_REQUEST['repeat_end_month'];
$context['event']['repeat_end_day'] = $_REQUEST['repeat_end_day'];
$context['event']['repeat_end_year']= $_REQUEST['repeat_end_year'];
To this:
if (!isset($_REQUEST['year']))
$_REQUEST['year'] = $today['year'];
$context['event']['month'] = (int) $_REQUEST['month'];
$context['event']['year'] = (int) $_REQUEST['year'];
$context['event']['day'] = isset($_REQUEST['day']) ? $_REQUEST['day'] : ($_REQUEST['month'] == $today['mon'] ? $today['mday'] : 0);
//$context['event']['span'] = isset($_REQUEST['span']) ? $_REQUEST['span'] : 1;
$context['event']['board'] = isset($_REQUEST['board']) ? $_REQUEST['board'] : 0;
$context['event']['repeating'] = isset($_REQUEST['repeating']) ? $_REQUEST['repeating'] : 0;
$context['event']['repeat1_parm1'] = isset($_REQUEST['repeat1_parm1']) ? $_REQUEST['repeat1_parm1'] : 0;
$context['event']['repeat1_parm2'] = isset($_REQUEST['repeat1_parm2']) ? $_REQUEST['repeat1_parm2'] : 0;
$context['event']['repeat2_parm1'] = isset($_REQUEST['repeat2_parm1']) ? $_REQUEST['repeat2_parm1'] : 0;
$context['event']['repeat2_parm2'] = isset($_REQUEST['repeat2_parm2']) ? $_REQUEST['repeat2_parm2'] : 0;
$context['event']['repeat2_parm3'] = isset($_REQUEST['repeat2_parm3']) ? $_REQUEST['repeat2_parm3'] : 0;
$context['event']['repeat_end_type'] = isset($_REQUEST['repeat_end_type']) ? $_REQUEST['repeat_end_type'] : 0;
$context['event']['repeat_end_month'] = isset($_REQUEST['repeat_end_month']) ? $_REQUEST['repeat_end_month'] : 0;
$context['event']['repeat_end_day'] = isset($_REQUEST['repeat_end_day']) ? $_REQUEST['repeat_end_day'] : 0;
$context['event']['repeat_end_year'] = isset($_REQUEST['repeat_end_year']) ? $_REQUEST['repeat_end_year'] : 0;
This will stop the error messages in the log, but, it is an improper fix and will introduce a bug. The problem you (and Dave) seem to have is that $_REQUEST does not contain the expected data. Load up Post.php and search for '$context['event']['board']' to see what I mean....

It will cause issues. :). All you're doing here is keeping the error out of the log - it does not fix the root cause, which is missing data from $_REQUEST. If you're up to playing, grab this: http://reallyshiny.com/scripts/php-dump.txt and dump the contents of $_REQUEST to the screen - lets see what's really in there....

Just how do you use this?
Tried making a php file put in root ran came up with blank screen evidently this isn't how it is used, can you enlighten me a little on how to utilize the dump?
Thanks
Dave
You have to edit the source. I'll assume that the linked file is saved as 'phpDump.php' and it's in the same directory as 'Post.php'. Right after:
if (!isset($_REQUEST['year']))
$_REQUEST['year'] = $today['year'];
in Post.php (about line 298) add the following:
require_once("phpDump.php");
dump($_REQUEST);

cferd & Dave,
Those $_REQUEST dumps are abnormal. The ones you guys posted is what $_REQUEST should look like *before* clicking on the 'Post' button. In this case, $_REQUEST is loaded in the function 'template_event_post()' in Calendar.template.php (about line 244 - look for the '<form' statement). It gets handed off a number of times before it reaches Post.php - I can't tell if it's not being set, or if it's being destroyed along the way.
Lets also take the time to be sure that we're all starting from the same point, and progressing along the same path. I'm testing the reports as follows:
1) Go to calendar and click on a day number. I'm using June 8 in this example.
2) I give the event a title, resulting in this:
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.planetcurran.com%2Fimg%2Fsmf%2Fphase1.jpg&hash=563f532c12ae3a8e70528f79cb48c9390213c004)
3) I click on the 'Post' button and that takes me to here:
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.planetcurran.com%2Fimg%2Fsmf%2Fphase2.jpg&hash=9229fe9150f0e50fe748466612e21e6d5319d9a4)
Are we all on the same path so far? Do my screens match what you're seeing? Anything odd in the above that we're not mentioning?
For fun I removed the dump code in Post.php and moved it to index.php. Be careful - you want /forum/index.php. Right after the call to 'loadPermissions();', I added the debug code:
require_once("phpDump.php");
dump($_REQUEST);
Make sure the path to 'phpDump.php' is correct. Does this give you the same $_REQUEST dump as before? Following is what my $_REQUST dump looks like (after hitting the POST button on the 1st phase of entry - #2 above):

Hey: Anyone know why the board seems to be resizing inline images? Is that normal behavior?
cheers,
me
(yes, it is normal for the board to resize images... this prevents people from posting images which break the template.)

On my main board I installed
Trim Url it takes care of that issue. Hope someday to be able to use repeating events without filling up the error log.

Thanks, but I try to run without any other mods. It just makes my life so much easier. I would also like to find out why two of you seem to have the same problem, yet a few hundred have no issues at all. In my experience, we'll find out why sooner or later, and when we do, it'll probably be something very simple and we'll all slap our foreheads...

I'm confused. If you put the debug code into Post.php, there's no way for you to see a dump prior to clicking that first 'Post' button. What am I missing?
Chris,
I go to Calendar, click on June 8 and that takes me to the "Post in:" page, rather than the "Link Event to Post:" page. Could it have something to do with Calendar settings?

I may have found a break through with the errors.
If the
Allow events not linked to posts: is not checked I get the errors in log, with it checked like Chris's illustration above No errors in log. So it seems to be something tied to the
Events not linked to post.
Hope I found Something useful
Dave
cferd & Dave,
Sounds like a real solid clue. Thanks and I'll get back to this in a few hours (dr appt to go to now).....

Glad this may help.
BTW
I installed mod on main board with all the other mods I have installed, I use a different theme and manually edited the post.template.php and the Calendar.template.php uploaded the moon phase images to the chosen template images. Made sure the
Allow events not linked to posts:was checked, everything worked like a champ. I can live with this setting fine gives you some space to debug the unchecked mode.
Happy Camper ;D
Thanks for your effort if I hadn't found out your settings would still be looking.
Dave
I ran across another error which is effecting both my main forum and the testsmf forum I set up. I posted an event, and then a member commented on the event and it left an error in log. So I duplicated the the action by posting to and event on the testsmf board that is running with no mods nothing but the repeating calendar and got this error.
8: Undefined index: event
File: /home/mysite/public_html/testsmf/Themes/default/Post.template.php
Line: 860
if ($context['event']['repeating']=='0')
Round two LOL
Thanks
Dave
Hello there,
I haven't been here for a while, but lately, I checked my error log as well, and found the same log entries as described here. They don't seem to affect the functionality of the board at all, but there's surely something wrong. :( I observed my log a bit and found out the following:
- I was getting log entries with "8: unserialize() [<a href='function.unserialize'>function.unserialize</a>]: Error at offset 65487 of 65534 bytes ... /Sources/BoardIndex.php" - apparently, this stopped when I disabled the display of upcoming events on the index page (so they are just displayed in the calendar).
- I'm still getting "8: Undefined index: event ... /Themes/default/languages/Post.german.php" errors, though, like the one Poreman described above. I have also some events that got a comment from someone else, so this could be the trigger indeed.
I haven't modified my installation since last time; still running the calendar mod version 1.2.6 on SMF 1.1.2 without any further updates.
Poreman,
I changed that code to:
if (!isset($context['event']['repeating']))
I think I got everything working fine on my test site. Had to remove and change some code around to make it all go.
"Allow events not linked to posts" is now ok checked or unchecked, but unless I leave it checked, "force_defaultboard" causes errors. With both checked, everything works without a hitch. Time to go live.
Medical issues have me sidelined for a few days. I'll address the above issues as I can later this week. Cferd - I think that last "fix" you posted will cause a bug. What execution path will the code take if $context['event']['repeating'] is equal to '1'?
me
Hey Chris,
I was mistakenly under the impression that 0 was the same as unset, but it isn't.
Still, everything seems to be posting properly without errors. What would happen if I get rid of that if statement altogether?
Remember, personal life does and always should come first. There's no rush whatsoever.
I think I am going to wait until Chris has time to see if he can figure out what is happening, seems when I try a work around I start getting errors somewhere else. I guess I will have to put my patients to work. I love the mod and it will be good as we have prison ministries every third Tuesday of the month and wanted to use the repeating mod for that purpose. Someday I am sure it will load and run with one install.
Waiting LOL
Dave
I have smf 1.1.2, but when I try to download the package "48. Repeating Events for Calendar" through the Package Manager I get "An Error has Occurred! The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF."
Is it in fact, corrupt, or do I need to do a manual install?
@ Terrell Smith:
Make your Packages folder "writable". It should install then.
I get the following error:
4. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/Calendar.template.php Test failed
Help?
sounds like you have installed some othe rmod package which already modified the calendar.template.php file...
You will have to apply the code by hand...
The only other calendar mod I have is the Enhanced Calendar.
and we have a winner.... that mod modified the code that THIS mod is looking for. hence the error.

I uninstalled the mod and reinstalled the Repeating event one, it installed successfully but I do not have an option when creating a calendar event to have it repeating.
I love the concept of this MOD and it works for the most part.
I am using 1.2.6 with SMF 1.1.2. All of the events that I set as recurring work just fine until I link it to a post. As soon as I link it to a post, I am left with only the event on the original date and no recurrence. Any ideas?
I've never tried 1.2.6, but have this one installed: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=66939.msg1108839#msg1108839
It's working more or less the way I want. I believe in the Calendar settings, you would need to have "Allow events not linked to posts" checked. At least until the few bugs that exist are fixed.
I just uninstalled 1.2.6 and installed the one you pointed me too and got the same result. If I link the event to a post, no replication takes place.
Hmm. It could be that your expectations and mine are a little different.
If, for example, I create an event to occur on June 18, 2007 and then choose to have it repeat every month, the event will show on the Calendar for July 18, August 18, and so on. But when going to read the post, the "Linked Event" will only say June 18, 2007. Is that more or less what you get too?
No. When I create an event on the calendar to start June 18 and set it to repete every week for the next two months, it works fine.
If I create the same event, but this time I link it to a post with more details for the event, it will only show in the calendar on the 18th of June and no where else. All of the settings are the same except for the link to the post.
I just tried your identical setup. June 18, to repeat every week, ending August 18. I see the event every Monday for the next 2 months on the Calendar.
I can't find what I might have played with to make it work, maybe nothing, I don't know.
Did you do it with a link to a post for the event?
Without a post, it works fine.
Yes. The checkbox is pre-selected and the it posts fine on the appropriate board.
In the Calendar settings, I have both "Force default board in events:" and "Allow events not linked to posts:" selected.
So what you're telling me is that my problem is an anomaly isolated to the board I am trying to use it on. Figures. I am back to doing each event one at a time i guess.
Thanks for the help. I do appreciate it.
I discovered more bugs for the Repeating Events ver.1.2.6 module. When in the 'New Topic', 'Reply', 'Modify', 'Quote', and 'Link To Calendar' screen in the forum, the ff.

---------------------------
I uninstalled the Repeating Events module and the errors disappeared. I then reinstalled it and the errors reappeared so I know it has something to do with this mod. I am using SMF v.1.1.2. Hope somebody can help. Thanks!
I get the script errors too, but nothing in the forum error log. They may be unrelated to the script errors.
While waiting for the bug-fixed versions, and realizing that anything associated with events on the forum is conditional, I changed the following codes to eliminate the script errors.
Note: Haven't thoroughly tested it, so make backups if using.
In Post.template.php
from:
echo '
function swapEndDate(swap)
{
document.getElementById("calendar_repeat_endTTL").style.display = swap;
document.getElementById("calendar_repeat_end2").style.display = swap;
}
function setLinked(state)
{
document.getElementById("board").disabled = state;
}
';
to:
echo '
function swapEndDate(swap)
{
if(document.getElementById("calendar_repeat_endTTL"))
document.getElementById("calendar_repeat_endTTL").style.display = swap;
if(document.getElementById("calendar_repeat_end2"))
document.getElementById("calendar_repeat_end2").style.display = swap;
}
function setLinked(state)
{
if(document.getElementById("board"))
document.getElementById("board").disabled = state;
}
';
In Calendar.template.php
from:
function swapEndDate(swap)
{
document.getElementById("calendar_repeat_endTTL").style.display = swap;
document.getElementById("calendar_repeat_end2").style.display = swap;
document.getElementById("calendar_repeat_end3").style.display = swap;
}
function toggleLinked(form, cal_force_defaultboard)
{
if (cal_force_defaultboard == 0)
form.board.disabled = !form.link_to_board.checked;
}
function setLinked(state)
{
document.getElementById("board").disabled = state;
}
to:
function swapEndDate(swap)
{
if(document.getElementById("calendar_repeat_endTTL"))
document.getElementById("calendar_repeat_endTTL").style.display = swap;
if(document.getElementById("calendar_repeat_end2"))
document.getElementById("calendar_repeat_end2").style.display = swap;
if(document.getElementById("calendar_repeat_end3"))
document.getElementById("calendar_repeat_end3").style.display = swap;
}
function toggleLinked(form, cal_force_defaultboard)
{
if (cal_force_defaultboard == 0)
form.board.disabled = !form.link_to_board.checked;
}
function setLinked(state)
{
if(document.getElementById("board"))
document.getElementById("board").disabled = state;
}
Thanks for the fix cferd, it worked! No more Javascript errors. But I still have all the errors in my Forum Error Logs.
I just moved to a different calendar solution. Errors resolved.
This is not a negative hit on this MOD. I did not care for the built in calendar to start with. Sorry

I'm just curious, what is the other Calendar solution did you use?
Alas! Fixed the errors in my Forum Error Logs which I reported on page 14 (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=66939.260). Please backup the two files below before tampering with them as I won't be held liable for damages. Anyways, this solution worked for me and removed the errors being generated in my Forum Error Logs admin page. Here's what I did...
STEP #1:
In Themes/default/Post.template.php, add these codes...
$context['event']['title'] = (isset($context['event']['title']))?$context['event']['title']:'';
$context['event']['repeating'] = (isset($context['event']['repeating']))?$context['event']['repeating']:'';
just before...
$subj = ($context['subject'] == '')?$context['event']['title']:$context['subject'];
STEP #2:
In Sources/Post.php, replace these codes...
$context['event']['board'] = $_REQUEST['board'];
$context['event']['repeating'] = $_REQUEST['repeating'];
$context['event']['repeat1_parm1'] = $_REQUEST['repeat1_parm1'];
$context['event']['repeat1_parm2'] = $_REQUEST['repeat1_parm2'];
$context['event']['repeat2_parm1'] = $_REQUEST['repeat2_parm1'];
$context['event']['repeat2_parm2'] = $_REQUEST['repeat2_parm2'];
$context['event']['repeat2_parm3'] = $_REQUEST['repeat2_parm3'];
$context['event']['repeat_end_type'] = $_REQUEST['repeat_end_type'];
$context['event']['repeat_end_month'] = $_REQUEST['repeat_end_month'];
$context['event']['repeat_end_day'] = $_REQUEST['repeat_end_day'];
$context['event']['repeat_end_year'] = $_REQUEST['repeat_end_year'];
with the codes below...
$context['event']["board"] = (isset($_REQUEST['board']))?$_REQUEST['board']:'';
$context['event']["repeating"] = (isset($_REQUEST['repeating']))?$_REQUEST['repeating']:'';
$context['event']["repeat1_parm1"] = (isset($_REQUEST['repeat1_parm1']))?$_REQUEST['repeat1_parm1']:'';
$context['event']["repeat1_parm2"] = (isset($_REQUEST['repeat1_parm2']))?$_REQUEST['repeat1_parm2']:'';
$context['event']["repeat2_parm1"] = (isset($_REQUEST['repeat2_parm1']))?$_REQUEST['repeat2_parm1']:'';
$context['event']["repeat2_parm2"] = (isset($_REQUEST['repeat2_parm2']))?$_REQUEST['repeat2_parm2']:'';
$context['event']["repeat2_parm3"] = (isset($_REQUEST['repeat2_parm3']))?$_REQUEST['repeat2_parm3']:'';
$context['event']["repeat_end_type"] = (isset($_REQUEST['repeat_end_type']))?$_REQUEST['repeat_end_type']:'';
$context['event']["repeat_end_month"] = (isset($_REQUEST['repeat_end_month']))?$_REQUEST['repeat_end_month']:'';
$context['event']["repeat_end_day"] = (isset($_REQUEST['repeat_end_day']))?$_REQUEST['repeat_end_day']:'';
$context['event']["repeat_end_year"] = (isset($_REQUEST['repeat_end_year']))?$_REQUEST['repeat_end_year']:'';
That's it! :) It is important to remember that whenever a variable is newly specified, you have to define it too beforehand by including a code that says "If the said variable exists or has a corresponding value, then store it with the said variable name else store blank."
I guess all of these trouble defining a variable is because of the ERROR REPORTING (error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE)) being turned on for SMF. Undefined variables are reported in the Forum Error Logs.

I'm just curious, what is the other Calendar solution did you use?
I just realized that my comment was a little misleading. I am using SMF bridged into Joomla, so I switched to a Joomla calendar called JEvent and moved my calendar out of the forum entirely. I am surprised to see that there are no third party calendars for SMF though.
@brelwit,
Thanks for that. I've added the changes and so far ...... <keeps fingers crossed>
have just installed this mod, 1.2.6, but when trying to set up an event get the following error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gregoriantojd() in /home/t/e/telfordb/public_html/forum/Sources/Calendar.php on line 546
This happens with all events.
Have searched Calendar.php and can't find any reference to this function?
BJT
There are a few references to that function in Calendar.php so double check it, it may not have installed properly.
In my case, I couldn't get Calendar.php to pass the test while installing the Mod and had to manually insert the code.
Have found a few calls to the function gregoriantojd(), but can't find where the function is defined.
have just discovered that I am getting this error by just trying to view the calendar.
I have searched all the obvious files and can't find the function definition.
I'm in stupid mode today :-[ hadn't realised that this is a built in PHP function. So it must be a problem with my host. I checked the PHP ebsite and that lists it as available in PHP4 & PHP5 my host is runninig 4.4.1 so it should work ,shouldn't it?
:) We're both kinda in the same boat. I have a habit of replying to the last line of a post and forgetting the rest.
The problem, as you said, is probably with your host. Have them make sure the calendar extension is being loaded.
I have now changed servers and script error has gone away BUT if I enter an event and link it to a post it doesn't repeat. None linked events repeat fine.
If I change to the default theme it works fine.
Now sorted. Copied the relevant code from themes/default/post.Template.php to
to themes/classic/post.template.php and it all works :D

ok this is basically the same fix posted earlier - and of course this does what the author said - it covers up the error... the problem comes from an incorrect request array being passed post mod applicaiton - this can come from TWO places - the actual calendar code itself (you forgot do edit something in the calendar code) - or where we are seeing it is from the Calendar Link button on the bottom of the thread display. When you create a calendar entry (repeating or not) and attach a post - anyone going to edit the entry clicks on the calendar link - and there is an incorrect REQUEST array in there - not sure how to fix so I am applying the cover up errors patch for now.
I think the nett effect of this is that if you go to edit a repeating event from the Calendar link at the bottom of the thread the event will have its repeat details removed.
Quote from: Chris Curran on June 01, 2007, 07:45:58 AM
cferd & Dave,
Those $_REQUEST dumps are abnormal. The ones you guys posted is what $_REQUEST should look like *before* clicking on the 'Post' button. In this case, $_REQUEST is loaded in the function 'template_event_post()' in Calendar.template.php (about line 244 - look for the '<form' statement). It gets handed off a number of times before it reaches Post.php - I can't tell if it's not being set, or if it's being destroyed along the way.
Lets also take the time to be sure that we're all starting from the same point, and progressing along the same path. I'm testing the reports as follows:
1) Go to calendar and click on a day number. I'm using June 8 in this example.
2) I give the event a title, resulting in this:
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.planetcurran.com%2Fimg%2Fsmf%2Fphase1.jpg&hash=563f532c12ae3a8e70528f79cb48c9390213c004)
3) I click on the 'Post' button and that takes me to here:
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.planetcurran.com%2Fimg%2Fsmf%2Fphase2.jpg&hash=9229fe9150f0e50fe748466612e21e6d5319d9a4)
Are we all on the same path so far? Do my screens match what you're seeing? Anything odd in the above that we're not mentioning?
...
This is the point :) You can generate those errors quite happily by going to the bottom of a posted topic and clicking on the calendar link, as Display template has not been changed to update the calendar link - somewhere around line 1228 (look for if ($context['calendar_post']) ) and of course the context array will have to be constructed correctly before diving into that template....

Hi,
I've read somewhere that this mod would support user registration to event soon.
Any idea when this feature will be added?
thanks
would be nice if the mod would create multiple Forum Threads when the repeating event is posted. In other words, say i have a Geek Convention from October 5 through October 7th - Three threads would be created for this event. Perhaps one way to make the threads unique would be to add the date before the event.
10.05.07 / Geek Convention
10.06.07 / Geek Convention
10.07.07 / Geek Convention
same thing holds true for weekly or monthly events. add the date to the subject and create the forum threads.
is this possible?

That is an error I continue to Get. I have been able to trace the issue to the Calendar Mod...
And have been asking questions on this thread... http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=175619.20
I was directed to ask my question here on this thread.
This appears to be the only error I get on my forum. www.akcommunity.com. On the home page on the left side Under Up Comming Events. It should give a list of all the recent events that are comming. But it does not. The only time it show's that is when I click on the Calendar tab, and go to the Calendar page.
I have checked for events that repeat every day (I was told this may cause the error) and I dont have any that repeat every day. I have a few that repeat every week, or monthly. But nothing Daily.
Would any one have an idea as to how I might be able to fix this problem? Any help would be greatful.
Thanks

Hey... great work Chris! I have looked high and low for this kind of mod since starting to use SMF (a little over a year ago now) but i could'nt find anything as good as this.
Just curious about the attendees addition... how is the work coming along with all the bugfixing?
Keep up the good work!
/Martin
just subbing to this thread, interested in the attendees feature as well!
Does this mod work with 1.1.4? Or is there going to be an update comming out soon?
I ask cause my server eneded up with a fresh new install of smf on it, and I am trying to avoid the same problem I had before, but really like this mod. It helps alot with my website.
Whats rc2
works fine for me on 1.1.4
I am still having the same problem. ... Any one have any other idea's?
This is pretty much what I've been looking for- thank you for such a great calendar mod. I am letting the members post their attendance in the forum link associated with the calendar =) I currently have SMF 1.1.4 and it works just fine. I even use TP and so far no bugs or any other issues. Thanks again. (this saved me a lot of work >.> )
is anyones calendar taking 20+ seconds to load? this is the only mod i'm running on 1.1.4 and i have very long calendar load times 20 seconds or more usually
Page created in 20.138 seconds with 16 queries.
when i uninstall the mod:
Page created in 0.596 seconds with 13 queries.
when i add $db_show_debug = true;
to my Settings.php file
i see a HUGE amount of information being set to the DB by the
REPLACE INTO smf_settings
(variable, value)
VALUES (SUBSTRING('cal_today_event', 1, 255),
command adding 20+ seconds to the calendar load time.
anyone have any feedback on this?
I tried installing this with 1.1.4 and had the huge load time for the calendar. In addition, when the calendar page finally comes up, it's blank.
i'm running 1.1.4 as well

Chris,
I go to Calendar, click on June 8 and that takes me to the "Post in:" page, rather than the "Link Event to Post:" page. Could it have something to do with Calendar settings?
I may have found a break through with the errors.
If the Allow events not linked to posts: is not checked I get the errors in log, with it checked like Chris's illustration above No errors in log. So it seems to be something tied to the Events not linked to post.
Hope I found Something useful
Dave
I just installed this repeating calendar mod 1.2.6 (which I think should be in the core release of SMF as it's sorely needed!) on smf 1.1.4.
The only other mod I have is Auto Embed Video Clips 1.6
I am seeing a similar error to above, that is a lot of error messages about undefined variables in my log when "Allow events not linked to posts" is unchecked.
If I check "Allow events not linked to posts", then the errors do not appear.
Also, when I had "Force default board in events" checked along with unchecking 'allow events not linked to posts", my posts would get lost in an unexisting board (I guess my SMF does not have a board with id of 0).
I noticed that Chris hasn't been around since saying "I'll be back after my Dr's appointment". I hope he is well!!
Has anyone found a fix for these event log issues when "Allow Events not linked to posts" is checked?
Also, as a separate thing, how can we petition the SMF staff to get this 'repeating calendar' feature into the next SMF release? :)
its already been petitioned many times
By the way, I don't have the load time issue people have mentioned.
do you have alot of events in your calendar?
Quote from: Chris Curran on June 05, 2007, 08:22:35 AM
Medical issues have me sidelined for a few days. I'll address the above issues as I can later this week. Cferd - I think that last "fix" you posted will cause a bug. What execution path will the code take if $context['event']['repeating'] is equal to '1'?
me
Chris,
We haven't heard from you since this post, are you ok?
I'm also seeing errors when people simply post a message to my forum:
8: Undefined index: event
File: /home/username/domains/domain.tld/public_html/forum/Themes/default/Post.template.php (eval?)
Line: 620
I'd love to use this mod, but my error log is still filling up.
Will this work with the new 1.1.4 Version?
OK actually it does work, but i have a new question:
How do you delete a repeating event???????
I made a "test event" to see if it works and I dont see any way to delete it.

How do you delete a repeating event?
...
Show your Calendar :)
Normal as the other events.
Click->
*<- left from event and modify or delete.
It works with smf 1.1.4 8)
Anyone know how to fix the gregoriantojd error ?
Please please :) I really want this mod to work
Thanx :)

That is the Calendar Box Code I am using.

That is the Repeating Calendar mod I am using with SMF and TP.
My website is www.akcommunity.com.
Ok thats I think all the important info upfront. Now for my question. hehe
If you go to the homepage and scroll down, on the left side will be the Calendar block. You will notice that it is not showing the events, just the calendar. But when you click the Calendar tab up top and scroll down to that same spot. You will notice it is showing the events along with the calendar.
I have tried various calendar scripts...and end up with the same problem, even tried adjusting the amount of days in advance that it will show. I would like to keep it at least at 7 days. Cause as you can see my calendar is rather active. LOL.
Anyway. I am pretty sure that the error is linked to that script some how, cause when I dont use the repeating events, and that script, then I don't get the error...but I also dont get my calendar displayed on the front page.
Any one have any idea's as to how I could fix said problem?
Get the events to show on the front page were they should, and get rid of said error.
It looks like the root of the problem is your ssi_todaysCalendar function, which has probably gotten changed somwhere along the line. If you go to http://www.akcommunity.com/ssi_examples.php you'll see that it is blank but it should not be.
Goto SMF's at http://www.simplemachines.org/community/ssi_examples.php and search for ssi_todaysCalendar and you'll see it is full of upcoming birthdays.
My test ssi_todaysCalendar at http://www.andrewteg.com/tp/ssi_examples.php also has some events, so I would put your ssi_todaysCalendar (function at http://www.akcommunity.com/SSI.php) back to the original one from SMF and see if it works on http://www.akcommunity.com/ssi_examples.php and if so, then see if it works on your homepage. If all that works, you know the problem is that SSI function got changed.
I'm just starting to get into modifying the SMF calendar so I don't know a lot yet but will hopefully get up to speed soon.
HTH,
Andrew
I tried replacing the SSI file with the origional...but that did not work iether. ....
Hey Gang,
First of all, we love the mod,.. it works flawlessly!
I have one question regarding functionality.... We have a recurring event every week, and it is posted correctly. However, say on Mother's Day, we want to make an annual recurring for that date, which works fine also.. BUT, then we have both the standard event and the Special Mother's Day event showing at the same time on May 11th (we won't hold the reg. event, but the Mother's Day event instead)... So, when we delete the regular event for that date.. so only the Mother's day event shows.. it deletes ALL the recurring weekly regular events... not just that one, on that day...
Is there a way, to just delete ONE of the recurring event items... ex: you have a weekly recurring event, but it will not be held next week... so you can go in and delete that one, not the series????
Thanks again! SMF rocks
I believe, the way that this mod currently works, that the recurring event is a single entry, so there is no way to delete one day of that entry.
Perhaps, after 2.0 is released in RC, I will be able to take back this mod (since Chris has apparently abandoned it). However, It definitely will not happen before 2.0 RC1 is released publically.
Kindred,
I was hoping you were going to say that this mod's features have been included in the SMF 2.0 core. Wow, that would be great and is sorely needed IMHO! 8)
Since not, I'll be looking forward to you taking over this mod as there are a few issues with it and I even tried to email Chris, but never received an answer from him. I hope his previously mentioned medical appointment wasn't the reason why we never heard from him again.
http://www.akcommunity.com/ssi_examples.php With help from a friend of mine we got the ssi working properly. But we are still getting that error in the error log...and the same problem between the front page, and the calendar page, with regards to the block.
I installed the Calendar modification successully but when I call up the Calendar in SMF, I get the following: http://ncmotorcyclists.com/calendar.htm. The Repeating and End Date form fields are incomplete. I am using SMF 1.1.4 and Gallery 2.2.2. installed via cPanel Fantastico Deluxe.
What do you believe the problem is and how would you recommend that I solve it? Thanks!
Greetings all,
What is the latest on this? Does it work with 1.1.4? Does it work with all templates?
I noticed in the Mod's section that no Calendar Mod reflects supporting 1.1.4... Is this true or are these just not updated in the description?
Thanks for the work and support.
-b
This seems to work, but it will fill your error logs with error messages.
I removed this mod until these errors are fixed. Unfortunately the Mod author seems to be lost now.
I have this exact same problem, the fields are blank. I'm brand new to SMF and would appreciate some assistance.
Thank you.

I would bet that this is because you are using "english utf-8".
Mods only install in "english" (no utf-8) by default, and I believe fantastico uses english utf-8 for some reason.
Either switch your forum to "english" (no utf-8) or add the $txt strings currently in modifications.english.php to your modifications.englishutf8.php.
Bingo! Thank you! I did use the fantastico install on my site. Changing to English worked. I did do an uninstall last night so I don't know if that was necessary but I set Language to English and installed the mod again and it works fine now.

This is the problem with this fantastic mod, it fills the error logs!!! I wish this could be fixed. I started looking into it myself, but ran out of time and understanding.
it was too good to be true....
i wonder if this error is enough to be a problem as far as the overall functionality of the forum ???
can anybody look into fixing this? mod author huntdown?
such a waste to have something good but not complete.
Love the mod, been using it since it came out! Have a weird problem though. I have a repeating event that's spans to the first day of the next month, but it's not showing up. I have another repeating event that spans [well] into the next month that's working just fine. Not sure why this one isn't working properly.
Also getting this in the error log.

I guess no one will address the filling of the error logs. I tried to look into it but can't find it yet.
This mod does seem to generate errors in some installs. It has taken me a while to pin it down to this mod as I'm new to SMF, when I'm feeling a bit braver I will back-up and uninstall the Mod to see if it solves the problem. I agree with everyone though it's a shame as it's an extremely useful calendar mod.

(on a side note... i have a dated ssi events output which it does not completly comply with... it lists it correctly but it retains the date the reocurring event started and not the upcoming date the reocurring event is upcoming... but this is for another time lol)

Agreed. This needs to be part of 2.0. Or at least a working mod to get it going for heavily theme'd sites.
2.0 is feature frozen.
If I have time, I may re-look at the calendar pack for 2.0 now that the public beta has been released.... but don't expect anything for at least a month.
If, and when someone is going to change this MOD. I have some feature requests.
Possibility to repeat every week on selected days. For instace: repeat every week on monday, wednesday and friday.
Possibility to delete certain occurrences from a repeating event without deleting all occurrences.
I really could use such features...
Thanks...

I also get this error... It has to to something with the Post.template.php file... This is in that file:
if ($context['event']['repeating']=='0')
echo '
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
swapEndDate(\'none\');
// ]]></script>';
It's not terribly surprising there's problems with it... I threw it at a couple of package parsers and they both blew up. Looks like he has a comment that's not terminated, and quite likely any of the modification after that didn't get done. Why it didn't throw errors during the install is a mystery.
I'll look at it, but ONLY TO FIX IT. I'm *not* adding any new mis-features, and I'm *not* offering to take over support for it.
edit: I'll attach a new file once I correct another error I found. In Display.template.php, repeating events shown at the top of a thread should show the *next* event date, not the original event.
Apparently somebody didn't have their TABS set to TABS, so there was a hell of a lot of spaces making up all of the whitespace. I converted every 4 spaces to a tab, removed all of the comments and viola! the package parsers were happy with it. It installs and runs without any obvious problems.
With the original copy, I was getting some odd EVAL errors pretty frequently.
Well, I didn't see anything in the error log last night, but I see a few of the same error today (Undefined index: poster in Sources/BoardIndex.php)
I'll walk that one down. Looks like it only happened when a GUEST was doing something with the calendar in my case.
Here's a crude fix for the error. It works, but there's probably a nicer way to do it.
in $sources/BoardIndex.php
find:
$this_event['can_edit'] = allowedTo('calendar_edit_any') || ($this_event['poster'] == $ID_MEMBER && allowedTo('calendar_edit_own'));
replace with:
if($context['user']['is_logged'])
$this_event['can_edit'] = allowedTo('calendar_edit_any') || ($this_event['poster'] == $ID_MEMBER && allowedTo('calendar_edit_own'));
The problem is that it's checking for permissions to see if a GUEST can edit the calendar event. By adding if($context['user']['is_logged']) it skips the check if they're not logged in.
BTW, this is for current SMF 1.1.5 sources, but should work with earlier versions.
2Ntense, did you make mods to the original package or just to your install and then post the fixes here?
If you wouldn't mind, could you mod the package with your fixes and resubmit with the caveat you placed above?
Or, send it to me and I'll do it and look and see if it's something I can support if you or Kindred don't want to.
SMF from Mosul, eh? 8)
Hmmm - according to SMF's site (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=655) it looks like the mod was last updated on the 15th, 6 days after 2Ntense said he'd post the changes. So, I'm thinking maybe that's it.
Would you happen to know if this mod works with 1.1.4? The mod page says its only compatible with 1.1.1 & 1.1.2.
Thanks!!

Yeah, from Mosul. It was a pain to set up though because my connection is soooooo slow (256k). Once it got set up (server host did it for me) it ran like a champ.
I seem to remember someone a few pages back had it installed on 1.1.4, I'm not sure. I haven't seen any mods that work on a 1.1.1 that didn't work on all 1.1.x (of course, I could always be wrong)
thanks!
My log is filled with these errors when adding something in the calendar:
8: Undefined index: repeat_end_day
8: Undefined index: repeat_end_month
8: Undefined index: repeat_end_year
8: Undefined index: repeat2_parm3
..etc.
I'm running a standard 1.1.5 English SMF forum with nothing but a Youtube adding mod.
The author of this mod has disappeared and the mod has no further support.
I will be incorporating it back into the Phat Cal pack when I rebuild it for 2.0 (after RC is released), but it is doubtful that there will ever be a supported version for 1.1.5
Perfect timing.
I was just looking for a way to have a couple of weekly items repeat themeselves and send an email reminder 60 minute prior the event. Is that something that this might do?
I know he dissapeared, but somebody might know the reason to these errors.
luvencl,
While you can set the items to repeat, neither this mod nor the one I am redesigning will send email reminders.
akyhne,
Try reading through the thread.... I believe the answer is no.
Weird... sorry 'bout that, I thought I'd attached the slightly cleaned-up version I'd played with earlier on in the thread, but I don't see it (attached again below).
Other than a couple of minor mistakes that I'd added in from other comments in the thread, this version is mostly just the whole original package with spaces converted to tabs so that it doesn't make the package parsers gag and choke.
I gave up in disgust on this mod 'cos there was still so much remaining to be done to make it worthwhile. I finally chopped the whole CALENDAR out of the forum I was working on and dropped the SourceForge WebCalendar (http://sourceforge.net/projects/webcalendar/) in it's place. It's a standalone 'events calendar' that's not interfacing with the SMF database, but at least the darned thing WORKS. Note: the SourceForge 1.1.5 release code insists on register_globals = ON (which my host doesn't support for obvious security reasons) so I had to run the 1.2b1 code instead.

Hi, Hello:
I'm a new SMF user. I dl'ed and installed 1.1 RC2 a few days ago and so far no troubles.
One question though: I needed a calendar app that allowed repeating events - the span thing just didn't cut it for our needs (an astro club). I took a theme from Bloc (Black22) and modified the Post.template.php and Calendar.template.php files as needed, however, due to the addition fields I'm using I needed to modify the calendar table structure (added columns) and the Post.php and Calendar.php files (to support the new columns related to repeating events).
Here's the question: How do I share these mods with the rest of the community? Since my mods are not limited to the "template" files I'm not sure what to do. Diff files? Is there a cvs this can be posted to? What question am I forgetting to ask? Sorry if I've missed a document that covers this - I poked around and don't see anything obvious...
salute and happy days,
Chris Curran

If you have difficulties in understanding English, try our Language Support Boards:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=12.0
but, to answer the question I ASSUME you were asking with that completely out of context quote...
The repeating events mod is currently dead.
I intend to re-write is when SMF 2.0 RC is released.
That would be really great
Hi I just uploaded this mod and I realize the author is not supporting any more but I have a question about cal mods in general. Does anyone know of a way to add the time to your calendar? For example, I want an event to start a certain time, how do I input that in? Thanks for any and all help in advance.
you can not without re-coding... Please ask in the smf coding board if yo have the capability to do it yourself.
Thank you.

ok, thanks for the heads up. Really looking forward to it :)
It would be AWESOME if someone could update this for SMF 2.0 Beta 4. I've tried the manual install instructions but it doesn't work...too much has changed from SMF 1 to SMF 2.

No disrespect Kindred (your time and work is appreciated)...
How likely is the revamp of the Phat Cal Pack for 2.0?
I was holding my breath for over a year for the 1.1 revamp...finally gasped for air and gave up
Held on to my 1.0 forum until last week just to keep the Phat Cal Pack, finally gave up and upgraded the forum to keep the spam registrations away!
I really miss the Phat Cal.
Thanks,
Dan
I *WILL* be making a version for 2.0, once RC1 is released. I have half of the code working on my RC1 beta test. :)
I never updated for 1.1 because Chris Curran has released something (but then he disappeared. :( ) and then we (SMF Team) started work on 2.0, which changes all of the code structures.
So, it is coming.
Is this event current for SMF 1.1.7? I'm wanting a mod to add religious holidays to the calendar beyond what's there - and I'd like them to repeat when they can.
Doable?
QT
did you even read any of the previous posts?
No, this will not work for 1.1.7.
No, there will be no version for 1.1.7.
I will release a new version when 2.0RC1 is released.

RC1 is in the hands of Charter members already so it shouldn't be too long. though I know of at least one major bug that needs to be fixed (again) before its released publicly.
To current. I have done everything I can think of including going through 1 by 1 adding the mods with no errors. It seems that once they are all in though I start to have errors.
I have not updated the Database on my test site to the one I am using on the main site as I want to get these issues worked out first.

I am thinking the first three are being created because of the Calendar Mod.
I am sure the "repeat" ones have to do with the " Repeating Calendar Events v1.2.6"
I just can't figure out why I am the only one having these issues....
I have tried posting on the SMF and TP website, but I keep getting bounced back and fourth. Frustrating as that is, I still want to get my site running correctly. After a long while I decided to come back to it and try it again. Any help or advise would be appreciated.
Once I have these issues worked out I want to transfer the Database of the main site over to my test site and work from there.
I have a good plan I am just having trouble getting there.
On a side note does anybody know any good open source Database comparison programs.
Thanks.

I will be glad to supply any other information that is needed.
1- this mod is no longer supported and was never designed for 1.1.7
2- this mod will never be supported for the 1.1.x series any more.
3- I am working on a version of this mod for 2.0. I estimate 3-4 weeks.
Thanks very much for the input that solves most likely a lot of my problems right there.
I can't wait for the 2.0 release.

Thanks, is there another working mod like this?
Any updates on this one? Im desperately seeking attendance function for our calendar, as monitoring attendance from threads gets more than a bit messy when you have 3-4 weekly recurring events... (its essentially a calendar for a sports team, and we need to know who is going to attend which practice etc)
rc1 ?

2- this mod will never be supported for the 1.1.x series any more.
3- I am working on a version of this mod for 2.0. I estimate 3-4 weeks.
We still waiting for you ;)
Well the manual install instructions do not work. Any updates yet?
is there any news on when this might be done? i've ready everything around that i could find on this, and am just wondering about an update.
any additional information would be helpful and appreciated.
thank you!

Has there been any progress on this mod for 2.0
I was working on it.... but I ran into a glitch and then real life happened. I plan to pick this back up this week.

You're a god Kindred. I would love to get my hands on this mod. I run a forum for an airsoft team and it would be awesome to be able to track who's going and who's not.
Oooh, another mod for 2.0 only that I really want.

Hi Thanks for this mod--does it work with smf 2.0?

Please, read the thread a little before posting.
However, I'll be nice and answer anyway. At this point, no, it doesn't work with 2.0. However, Kindred is working to get it compatible.
Like I said, read the thread before posting. It'll probably answer your question.
Hello,
For some reason the calendar mod will not allow me to force a default board when checked with version 1.8
Using 1.8
I set the board to default in the calendar settings but it always goes to the first board in the list.
If I check force default board I get this error:
Board ID is missing.
Anybody know why this is?

Sounds like it's having trouble finding the board you're telling it to default to. Might be a DB issue? Could also be a spelling or capitalization mismatch. I'd check both of those first thing.

Chris has not been an active user here for a LONG time... And I never got his mod to fully work... so I think the best answer is "no one right now knows the answer".
As for the 2.0 version... yes, I know I keep syaing "just around the corner" but I am sitting down eahc evening this week to actively work on it. For real.
I have successfully modified the original recurring events mod to work on SMF2 (RC1), and will package it up so others can have it soon :)
What's happen with this mod now? Who and when make it anyone?
Yes, recurring events would be awesome! ASAP! I'll paypal you some beer money if it will help.
Would it be difficult to also include an "RSVP" function so users coudl easily indicate they would be attending?

Any update on this?
Hi, I'm receiving an error message (Undefined index: event), and it may be related to the "Repeating Calendar Events v1.2.6" mod.
Please see this topic I created in the 1.1.X support board:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=323400.msg2155643#msg2155643
Please see attachments.
Here is the code being flagged in post.template.php:
620: $subj = $context['subject'] == '' ? $context['event']['title'] : $context['subject'];
882: if ($context['event']['repeating']=='0')
Any insight or advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
there are a lot of problems with the current version of this mod (plus the "current" version is ancient)
the author has disappeared.... and I have not yet completed my update for the functionality (which will only be done for 2.0 when I am done)
looking forward to seeing this make it to 2.0 8)
is there any news yet on the progress for this for 2.0 RC1.2
Very interested in an RSVP feature as well, would like to hear an update too.
I would also like to see something that can collect feedback after an event (just a simple question or poll for instance).
This will be a great addition to the calendar in SMF, one of the reasons I ditched my other forum software... last thing needed is rsvp (and maybe event categories, etc.).
Regards,
gp
The only thing I need is the recurring events for 2.0 RC1.2. That would make me a very happy camper, indeed.
I would think that would be built in already, but I guess maybe it's not important enough to put into the new build.

In my SMF 2.0 RC1.2 forum I have the full calendar, showing a full month, with the preceding and following month as well, just like I had in my ver 1 forum. Only birthdays and holidays are considered as recurring events. As it is now I have to enter all other events I want to reoccur as holidays so I can have them repeat every year.

I don´t find it, there is no repeating, only event for more than one day. there is nothing like "every day" or "every week"
BdT
Varmandra
you mean every other day or week?.
I have a SMF2.12 without any mod, and on the attached picture you can see there is no repeating.
Only Title, Date, Number of Days, Post in, Subject,....so no repeating, so we still have to wait for a mod update :)
Just a quick note: I'm yet one another user that would LOVE to see this mod succeed! So far I haven't been able to find anything that increases the functionality of the calendar, and I'd love to be able to do more with it. Repeating events would be fantastic, as would events that reminded people that they existed, somehow. I'm not sure how any of that would happen - I'm not a coder - but if anyone's working on it, I'd be happy to be a tester and offer feedback!
Any new about this mod???
echo's Achilleas ??
For my sins I'll be updating this mod for 2.0 RC1.2.
Similarily I need Moonphases and reoccuring events not for astronomy but for astrology and Esbats, festivals and events - I administrate a community of Pagans in Birmingham, UK: www dot pagancentral dot org
If anyone would like to collaborate on this project, feel free to email me at
[email protected]
Just a word of advice: you won't be able to publish it on the SMF mod site unless it works on the current versions at the time, i.e. 2.0 RC2 or 1.1.10.
it would be nice to see it appear in the mod list, I know a lot of people would like to see it too.
hi,
I have a mystery to solve,
Why on the calendar times of lunar phenomena, was obtained with a systematic advancement of 7 hours?
just have to insert table from code "repeatEvents_modifyTables.php", why it fails?
I'm also in favour of Repeating Events for SMF 2.0
I run an Art Forum, and we have annual listings of competitions and shows, and some Bi-Annual events also.
hi !
in advice display board index:
Lunar events disappears in current day of phase.
How are the displayed events sorted?
I have added three events to a day in this format:
10.30am - Family Service
4.30pm - AGM
6pm - Worship and the Word
It doesn't seem to matter in what order I enter them, 4.30pm always appears as the first entry! I want it to display in order of time.
Anyone having trouble with this mod not allowing some posts to be seen when using SSI? I have a page linked to the board where the calendar posts to and everything is fine then for some unknown reason when an event is posted it causes the SSI to only read a partial list of events.
this mod is little dangerouse
Where did all the time go?

Any word on your progress with this mod Kindred? (He asked, as Kindred resists the urge to scream.) No sweat, I know how life can creep up on you and the next thing you know a year has gone by.
My forum Administrator wanted to upgrade to 2.0 RC2, which I did, and now... you guessed it. We were using the "Repeating Events" calendar mod, even though it was a little buggy with SMF 1.1.11. So now she says, "All the birthdays I put in the calendar and made repeating are gone!" No, says I. They're still there in the database, you just can't see them because the mod isn't updated yet, but there is a person working on it, you just have to wait because he also works for a living and that comes first. So that's my reason for asking.
I wish I could offer some help, but I know just enough PHP to drive me insane and accidently pull data from alternate realities. It has to be, because no one can understand it.
And, I just want to say, I truly appreciate people such as yourself that do the thing you do to make our lives as forum owners, administrators and webmasters easier. Atta boy!
Thanks...
I had this partially working with RC1... then RC2 went and changed everyting and the SMF staff blow-up happened.
The last few months have been full of me managing the SMF project itself and I have had no time to code even my more simple mods up to RC2 standards.
If someone else with coding knowledge wants to take over this mod, I consider Chris to have abandoned it and I offer my interest in it to someone who is willing to take it over. Otherwise, I will re-start work on this in about a month or so.
Thanks Kindred. It grieves me that all that drama is going on over SMF. :( I don't personally know anyone involved and I'm not saying those at the root of the problems are bad people either, but sometimes people tend to get themselves caught up in things because they allow things like power, pride or greed to keep them from being a better person.
Based on what I've read here and on other sites, it seems that some need to realize that the issues in their personal world are insignificant because the reality is that their actions affect the thousands of users that have come to love SMF in the real world. The users and the team are in a symbiotic relationship and each group can cause the other group to die off. As the Star Trek character Spock said, "...logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Magnanimousness is needed in this instance, and not megalomania.
May I recommend live627 as a possible candidate to take over the repeating events mod? I was trying to get a password on registration mod updated to 2.0 RC2 which had similar circumstances in which the author had seemingly abandoned the mod, and live627 coded a new mod from scratch which provided the needed function. However, I don't know his schedule or if he would be interested in taking it over. Perhaps you could PM him and inquire.

2 possible solutions:

1 10.30am - Family Service

3 6pm - Worship and the Word
yo.
fast recode of "Repeating Events for Calendar" done. 3 hrs of my life :'(
test pls and tell me about bugs.
please submit that to the mod site?\ so that it can be validated by the mod team and provided in its own thread?
If it's an update of an existing mod it will require original author's permission first before it can be uploaded, but if it's a fresh rewrite it's probably OK.
Chris took the mod over from me... and has since abandoned it... I consider this mod fair game...
Sounds more than reasonable to me :)
i rewrite this mod for my site and i thought that others would be interested.
thank you CiQ...

Submited. Waiting for approve.
I don't suppose the changes included making this compatible with SMF 2 did they?? ;)
only 1.1.x compatible. i don't use smf2 :)
ANything yet for newer versions of SMF? It would seem like a no brainer to me that this should have been added right from the begining since so many other forums have this feature.
I administer a forum of Doberman dog owners. The birthdays of the forum members automatically get added to the calendar as repeating events. I have recently added two score dog birthdays to the calendar as events. There seems to be no way to make them annual repeating events. However, I suppose I could add them as Holidays, which I can make annually repeat.
I yearn for a mod that will enable repeating events, however.
I am no programmer and so will watch this topic to learn of updates to the process. Thanks to all that are programming!
Been fighting Prostate Cancer. That's where I "disappeared" to. This code is not "buggy" either - when run on the proper version of SMF, without a ton of other (buggy) mods installed. If you guys want it for 2.x, then dl the code and modify it (then fight with the lords to be about the position of the curly braces). I did the heavy lifting already...

WOW! Hi Chris. Sorry to hear about the cancer. Is it in remission now?
I have been busy doing SMF corporate stuff and RL myself... so I haven't gone anywhere with this code either. :)
Yes, I'm cancer free for six months now. :) Problem is that the cure is almost as bad as the disease. :( It's physically brutal.
I will not be doing anything with this code for SMF. The model used here is, uh, "broken" and I don't feel like fighting with kids who think they know how to code better than everyone else. Patching source code to implement addon's is problematic at best...

Well, Calendar enhancements ARE on the schedule for future releases, although, currently, the plan it to remove the calendar as a standard function (only about 50% of the sites use the calendar) and the release an "official" plugin with several enhancements.
Recurring Events, Sign Up/Attendance, and time-of-day are three of the most requested enhancements.

So the calendar it's self would be a plug in, but would have all those features? sounds good to me.. i know it's hard to say, but got a general time frame? this yr? :-\
sorry... we don't release any sort of release dates for the reason that this is a volunteer project and people may or may not get to things quickly (or slowly)
I'd LIKE to see it this year, but I am not committing the devs to anything.

is this still in progress? are developers still looking for seperating the calendar to a mod/plugin? and of course the enhancements =)
It's still there in 2.1 at present. Converting it to a plugin is a very huge task, probably greater than most would suspect.
2.1 *grml*
i don´t wanna wait a year or so =)
Do you know how much effort it would take to make it into a plugin? (Assuming SMF had a sane plugin interface, which at this time, it does not)
i can imagine...
but.. world-freedom is also a difficult thingy.. but i like it to get it tomorrow =)
whatever.. i know what you mean..
I'm not sure you do know what I mean.
I'm probably going to get hell for this, but so be it. http://wedge.org/pub/feats/6108/new-revs/msg270482/#msg270482 is where I documented how much change had occurred in removing it from an SMF fork. And that's just literally the changelog entry - it's even more massive than that in practice, and remember you still have to have the infrastructure to support it being pluggable after that.
SMF 2.1 is better but IMO it still doesn't have the infrastructure to properly handle plugins, too much work is still required by plugins to achieve anything.
And I wouldn't say that I was new to SMF's code or anything...

as per the mod page, no
QuoteCompatible With:
1.1.1, 1.1.2
the calendar already allows you to add an event for every year
Was wonder but i selected 2.0.18 and it parsed
Just Looked It does allow admin but not allow other members.
maybe I could create a page that allows selected groups to add to that list?

not sure what exactly you are trying to achieve but here's 2 mods that may help
Event Registration for SMF2 (https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/?mod=3238)
Calendar Event Reminder (https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/?mod=2860)
What i want to do is allow members of one or more groups to add a reoccurring birthday for different artists like the members birthdays.
So I could show a list of artists births for a given day or the current day.
your best bet would be to ask in the Help Wanted (not for support) (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=50.0)
I'm going to start work on a simple mod to show a list of charts added its the simplest one which will be good for my first ill add the calender to the list thanks
Mick
you should be able to, I believe
in your admin under members, under permissions
for each group that you want click on modify
set
Create events in the calendar
Edit events in the calendar
[edit]nevermind as the name implies that's only for events not actual like holidays and such
Yes understand that but it creates a standard event i need them to create reoccurring event which seem to write to a different table
in the admin panel under calendar, you can add a new "holiday" these would repeat each year.
Yes I can but not members with lower permissions than admin thats what I would be aiming at doing thanks mick
SMF's calendar system does not support recurring events at all. No mod could change that without completely rewriting the entire calendar system, and to my knowledge no mod exists that even attempts to do so.
Creating holidays or creating dummy accounts to record the birthday data are the only ways to do what you want. Neither option is something that your regular users can do.
You could try requesting a mod to build an alternate way to add and edit entries in the holidays table, but such a mod would need to include some very careful permissions checks—there's a reason, after all, why permission to edit holidays is restricted to admins only.
Thanks Looks Like I'll be adding them myself Lol but only for those artists with home pages.
thanks mick

I'd love to see that code.
calendar mod -- never got to finish the repeating events though
https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=138
This also had an importer which let you easily load a CSV import of holidays (I used to run a pagan board, so we needed as way to easily add all of the various holidays into the holiday list.)
here's the one that I handed off which added repeating events
