Calendar mods

[ooop]

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?

[Chris Curran]

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!
Chris

Hi Chris,

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

Installing this package will perform the following actions:

10.    Execute Code    repeatEvents_modifyTables.php

Any ideas?

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?

[ooop]

Same question: what version of SMF and what mods are installed?

[ooop]

sorry, i missed that Q....

i tried it on SMF 1.1.1

What mods are installed?

[ooop]

none > virgin install...

i believe the problem is CDATA stuff in xml syntax:

repeatEvents_1_2.xml

in the middle of the last <add> for <file name="$themedir/Calendar.template.php" error="fatal"> is the following:

]]>]]<![CDATA[

not commented out properly, or something (just a guess)

that old nesting the CDATA problem (at least i think that's the problem)

I do not think this is the issue. Again, what mods do you have installed?

[Chris Curran]

none > virgin install...

Missed this the first time... Do me a favor then. Extract the xml from the zip and run it through "test_modification.php". It should give a better clue as to what's the problem....

thx,
Chris

Chris,

I also have a virgin install with NO mods installed.  The version I've installed is 1.1.2.

Thanks,

Chris, any updates on this?

[ooop]

i have not yet run it through test_modification.php yet --- but i will say this - my suspicion that it was the nested CDATA stuff > does not seem to be the problem (it might be, but if it is, well then, there be another problem too - but chances are the "other" problem is the only one < did that make sense?)

[Chris Curran]

Chris, any updates on this?

No, I'm waiting to here the results of running it through "test_modification.php"....

[ksieg]

Hi Chris, I don't know how to run it through "test_modification.php" if you tell me I'll be happy to try it.

Thanks,
