Hi alphascorpio. Have you tried installing the mod using the package manager? If you want to install the mod manually, you can use the in-built Package Parser. Go here, choose your version , click submit and the parser will show you what to look for and what to change.

Instructions for 1.1.4
Instructions for 1.1.5
Instructions for 2.0 Beta 3.1 Public

There you go, a nice link to instructions.

[Bulakbol]

That's in great detail Eliana.  That will help alphascorpio. Thanks a lot.

[Eliana Tamerin]

No problem, just discovered that features in the parser today. Wonderful for linking directly to parse instructions.

Hi there,

Just installed this mod and it's working great.
One thing i noticed though and that is that other Holidays besides Birthdays remain unchanged.

Is there a way to change that so that they also appear in a way like:

Upcoming Holidays: Independence Day

[Bulakbol]

Hello Gendji. I thank you for your suggestion. I will look at how the holiday function works and see if I can do something similar.  I cannot promise anything though.

[Gendji]

I tried it myself but with the very limited coding skills i have, i didn't get any further than the text:
Todays Holidays and Upcoming Holidays on the front page

Thank you for looking into this.

FOR 1.1.5 I get errors when use parser.

this is what i did and it works ...

DING DING DING!!! 

Another instant install!!! You deserve a GOLD medal!

[Bulakbol]

  Thanks guys for the kind words.

[tk2012]

I tested out the feature and I'm getting an odd error on my screen.  It is showing the Birthdays twice, but the events only once.  I've attached a pic of what I'm talking about.  I would think if the code was accidently put on twice, that both the events and the birthday would show twice.




It must be conflicting with another mod somewhere.  I'm going to go back over all the edits because I haven't uninstalled the mod, but it stopped showing it completely.  I'm getting errors in my log referring to this mod, but regarding to when people are using other functions that don't relate to this.  v2.0 b3.1 is what I'm using.  Will let you know what I find.

Attach your BoardIndex.template.php and helpful people will help you if I am not around.

[tk2012]

Well, later the same day I posted this something happened with the database, so when/if I get it back up and running I'll do that!  LOL!  My host site is still getting back to me.  Luckily, I made a back up the day before this happened!

[tk2012]

Ok, the site is back up after the host fixed what caused my database to go berserk.. some kind of upgrade they did to the server...

Anyway, I'm still getting the same error....

I've enclosed my files..sorry to have you look at it.  I've been doing well with going thru these manually!

[Bulakbol]

I'll look at them tk2012. I'll get back to you.

[tk2012]

Sorry to update this, but I made a change to the file for another mod and don't want to forget my changes in the Display.template file.   Please ignore the other one and use this one instead since it has the correct edits for that mod!


Thanks and no hurry!  You guys help so many people and I don't want to be a hog.

[Bulakbol]

This mod has nothing to do with Display.template.php though.  It modifies Sources/BoardIndex.php,  default/BoardIndex.template.php and the language files.

[tk2012]

I realized that after I posted it.  It's late here!! TK needs some sleep or some caffeine!
