Two questions re: calendar events...

[Fiery]

Quick calendar question.

On the board index it lists my calendar events as: 2006-10-31, how to I change it to 10-31-2006.


I dont know if this is related or not, but on the "Default time" option I set it to: %B %d, %Y, %I:%M:%S %p

Thanks!

[NEMINI]

Hey aka got another one for ya... surprised I didnt consider it before...



All the other stuff is aligned as expected thx to you and the code modifications , but see the holidays... How can I align them by date like the other stuff below and how would I go about adding Upcoming Holidays: like there is for Upcoming Birthdays: & Upcoming Events:

ever figure out how to accomplish this?

[MoreBloodWine]

Nope, lol... im hoping aka will still try to find a way to help me out with it.. im bettin ur interested in this as well huh... hehe

[NEMINI]

yeah would be nice to have dates and proper formatting for holidays.  If we can get this part straightened out, and aka's permission I may try and package this up as a mod.

Any new news on this aka or anyone else...

Dirty way to do it. Sources/BoardIndex.php, look for

Code Select Expand

// Happy Birthday, guys and gals!
$context['calendar_birthdays'] = array();
for ($i = $now; $i < $now + $days_for_index; $i += 86400)
if (isset($bday[strftime('%Y-%m-%d', $i)]))
{
foreach ($bday[strftime('%Y-%m-%d', $i)] as $index => $dummy)
$bday[strftime('%Y-%m-%d', $i)][$index]['is_today'] = strftime('%Y-%m-%d', $i) == strftime('%Y-%m-%d', forum_time());
$context['calendar_birthdays'] = array_merge($context['calendar_birthdays'], $bday[strftime('%Y-%m-%d', $i)]);
}

and replace with

Code Select Expand

// Happy Birthday, guys and gals!
$context['calendar_birthdays'] = array();
for ($i = $now; $i < $now + $days_for_index; $i += 86400)
if (isset($bday[strftime('%Y-%m-%d', $i)]))
{
foreach ($bday[strftime('%Y-%m-%d', $i)] as $index => $dummy)
{
$bday[strftime('%Y-%m-%d', $i)][$index]['is_today'] = strftime('%Y-%m-%d', $i) == strftime('%Y-%m-%d', forum_time());
$bday[strftime('%Y-%m-%d', $i)][$index]['date'] = strftime('%Y-%m-%d', $i);
}
$context['calendar_birthdays'] = array_merge($context['calendar_birthdays'], $bday[strftime('%Y-%m-%d', $i)]);
}
for ($x = 0; $x < count($context['calendar_birthdays']); $x++)
{
list($b_year[$x], $b_month[$x], $b_day[$x]) = split('-', $context['calendar_birthdays'][$x]['date']);
$context['month_day_year'][] = $b_month[$x].'-'. $b_day[$x].'-'. $b_year[$x];
}


and in default/BoardIndex.template.php, look for

Code Select Expand

foreach ($context['calendar_birthdays'] as $member)
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile;u=', $member['id'], '">', $member['is_today'] ? '<b>' : '', $member['name'], $member['is_today'] ? '</b>' : '', isset($member['age']) ? ' (' . $member['age'] . ')' : '', '</a>', $member['is_last'] ? '<br />' : ', ';

replace with

Code Select Expand

$i = 0;
foreach ($context['calendar_birthdays'] as $member)
echo '<br />
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile;u=', $member['id'], '">', $member['is_today'] ? $context['month_day_year'][$i]. '-<b>' : $context['month_day_year'][$i]. '-', $member['name'], $member['is_today'] ? '</b>' : '', isset($member['age']) ? ' (' . $member['age'] . ')' : '', '</a>', $member['is_last'] ? '<br />' : ', ';

$i++;

[MoreBloodWine]

Well in order for me to use it and for NEMINI to package it up, I think we'd both like a clean way to do it (whatever you meant by dirty)...

[Bulakbol]

I call it dirty until approved by the SMF Customizers. It it work and want to use it, use it. If you don't, it doesn't matter to me.

any luck on this

seems like a year is long enought to wait for an answer?

[Bulakbol]

Use the same logic as the Birthdays. Sources/BoardIndex.php, find:

Code Select Expand

// This is used to make sure the header should be displayed.
return !empty($context['calendar_holidays']) || !empty($context['calendar_birthdays']) || !empty($context['calendar_events']);


and add the following codes above it.

Code Select Expand

for ($x = 0; $x < count($context['calendar_events']); $x++)
{
list($c_year[$x], $c_month[$x], $c_day[$x]) = split('-', $context['calendar_events'][$x]['date']);
$context['events_mdy'][] = $c_month[$x].'-'. $c_day[$x].'-'. $c_year[$x]. ' - '. $context['calendar_events'][$x]['title'];
}


And in default/BoardIndex.template.php, find:

Code Select Expand

foreach ($context['calendar_events'] as $event)
echo '
', $event['can_edit'] ? '<a href="' . $event['modify_href'] . '" style="color: #FF0000;">*</a> ' : '', $event['href'] == '' ? '' : '<a href="' . $event['href'] . '">', $event['is_today'] ? '<b>' . $event['title'] . '</b>' : $event['title'], $event['href'] == '' ? '' : '</a>', $event['is_last'] ? '<br />' : ', ';


and replace with:

Code Select Expand

$x = 0;
foreach ($context['calendar_events'] as $event)
{
echo '<br />
', $event['can_edit'] ? '<a href="' . $event['modify_href'] . '" style="color: #FF0000;">*</a> ' : '', $event['href'] == '' ? '' : '<a href="' . $event['href'] . '">', $event['is_today'] ? '<b>' . $context['events_mdy'][$x] . '</b>' : $context['events_mdy'][$x], $event['href'] == '' ? '' : '</a>', $event['is_last'] ? '<br />' : '';
$x++;
}

cool... thanks!

but while were at it.... how can i change the date output to be the same for the ssi upcomingCalendar m-d-y instead of y-m-d

Code Select Expand


<?php

$eventlist = ssi_upcomingCalendar(7, 'array');

echo '';

foreach ($eventlist as $mday => $array)
{
 foreach ($array as $event)
 {
   echo '<br>', $event['start_date'] , ' : ' , $event['link'];

   if ($event['can_edit'])
     echo ' <a href="' . $event['modify_href'] . '" style="color: #FF0000;">*</a> ';
 }
}
?>



[Bulakbol]

I'm sorry but I don't  use SSI.

[Bulakbol]

Maybe this will work. Do the changes that I posted for Sources/BoardIndex.php and try this. It might work.

Code Select Expand

<?php

$eventlist = ssi_upcomingCalendar(7, 'array');
echo '';
foreach ($eventlist as $mday => $array)
{
$x = 0;
foreach ($context['calendar_events'] as $event)
{
echo '<br />
', $event['can_edit'] ? '<a href="' . $event['modify_href'] . '" style="color: #FF0000;">*</a> ' : '', $event['href'] == '' ? '' : '<a href="' . $event['href'] . '">', $event['is_today'] ? '<b>' . $context['events_mdy'][$x] . '</b>' : $context['events_mdy'][$x], $event['href'] == '' ? '' : '</a>', $event['is_last'] ? '<br />' : '';
$x++;
}
}
?>


[MoreBloodWine]

I dont mean to reopen old wounds soto speak but I brought this post back up to make some changes on a new site of mine. Anyway, as you can see here all the birthdays and events are setup right using the code in the post. If you visit the link to my site and scroll down to view upcoming birthdays and stuff youll see that the holidays currently look like this ( Labor Day, Autumnal Equinox, United Nations Day, Halloween, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving )

Well what needs to be changed to get it to look like birthdays and events... example below.

Upcoming Holidays:
Date Here - Labor Day
Date Here - Autumnal Equinox
Date Here - United Nations Day
Date Here - Halloween
Date Here - Veterans Day
Date Here - Thanksgiving

Did you get it solved MoreBloodWine?

Did you get it solved MoreBloodWine?

Not yet no... If im not mistaken this (what I posted in my last reply) is something you wanted as well.

[[SiNaN]]

Well, I even don't use the calendar. But this would help you I hope:

BoardIndex.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

$context['calendar_holidays'] = array_merge($context['calendar_holidays'], $holidays[strftime('%Y-%m-%d', $i)]);

Replace:

Code Select Expand

$context['calendar_holidays'][strftime('%Y-%m-%d', $i)] = $holidays[strftime('%Y-%m-%d', $i)];

BoardIndex.template.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

echo '
<span style="color: #', $modSettings['cal_holidaycolor'], ';">', $txt['calendar5'], ' ', implode(', ', $context['calendar_holidays']), '</span><br />';

Replace:

Code Select Expand

{
echo '
<span style="color: #', $modSettings['cal_holidaycolor'], '; text-decoration:underline;">Upcoming Holidays:<br /></span><span style="color: #', $modSettings['cal_holidaycolor'], ';">';

foreach($context['calendar_holidays'] as $index => $holiday)
foreach($holiday as $day)
echo $index, ' - ', $day, '<br />';

echo '
</span><br />';
}

[MoreBloodWine]

That did the trick, Thx man. Question though.

Is there any way to make this part display in white like the other dates for B-Days & Events ?

Find:

Code Select Expand

               echo $index, ' - ', $day, '<br />';

Replace:

Code Select Expand

               echo '<span style="color: #FFFFFF;">', $index, ' -</span> ', $day, '<br />';

[MoreBloodWine]

Thx man you rock ;-p

Now I got everything I've ever wanted out of this topic except for proper date formatting (MDY vs YMD)

Yes, I do know Johnny B's code helps with this but at the same time it hyperlinks the entire line instead of leaving the formatting as it is now while just changing the way in which the date orders itself if that makes sense.
