That took waaay too long. Here's an update to the calendar.
What's new since the last version?
 Changed some of the code to be more compatible with all the database types that snitz supports. Should be faster, too.
Monthly view now displays the topic message as a tooltip when you hover over the title.
Changed the events list because I thought it was ugly :P
To upgrade from a previous version, just replace all the cal_ files.
Download from www.snitzbitz.com

red1, where are the text and table attributes for the small upcoming and recent events lists controlled? They are not showing up the same in mozilla as in Internet Explorer and I want to make sure that is not because i have had to mix the previous version or your mod with the 1.0 version. In cal_functions you are using a get.string that is not supported by older versions of ADO, which is what I am currently running, and I had to replace that file with the previous version. Here are what I think are the important code differences but I am not sure from around line 62 -
version_617
set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.open StrSql, My_conn, adOpenStatic
intEventsforMonth=rs.recordcount
and the 1.0 version:
set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.open StrSql, My_conn
'Load all the dates into a string
if not rs.EOF then strDates = rs.GetString(,,,,",") else blnNoDates = TRUE
'Since we already have the data, we can close the recordset
rs.close
set rs = nothing
Any ideas? I am working on updating the ADO but this is a chili!ASP situation and it is not proving very easy to get help from them so far. COuld you suggest a different workaround just for thes lines so i could include the new cal_functions file?

| Excellent Red, glad to see you're still developing this. It is by far my favorite and most used mod on the site. I'm anxious to have the repeating days mod added, it will be extremely useful for the members of my forum. |

red1 great work!
A couple of suggestions for this mod:
1)Give the option to upload or associate a flyer with each event
2)Give users the option to subscribe to each event to automatically be reminded of it a day prior to the event through e-mail
keep up the good work  |

Yes please!!!!! 
I have some other suggestions: I think it should be possible, but I haven't got a clue how to do it ;
A 'filtered calendar view' based on the forums/categories, to show only events from forum x or category y.
This could be through a selection list (checkboxes for each forum/category)
A 'filtered calendar view' based on the subject or message. (we use 'prefixes' for the events, for each service a seperate suffix')
Next to the suggestions, I also have a finalized mod for your mod:
Do not show a static number of upcoming/recent events on cal_default.asp, but instead display only those events which will take place in the upcoming period (for instance n days).
Next to that it shows upcoming/recent events grouped by date
It can be accessed here: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=44351 |

Nice job Red1,
Perhaps I could add something else to the wish list? How about the ability to restrict calendar posts to specific forums. Or maybe some method to disable the drop down menu and be able to hard code the forum ID in the cal_constants file?
Thanks again!

Actually I've already implemented this in the other mod (Events Calendar with Recurring Dates). It's simple enough to do; one of these days I might update this one with the newer features of the other mod like event categories, pop-up datepicker, etc. |

You've already implemented this? OK so I'm an idiot. Is the code available? Why two different versions? I must be missing something here.

There is a newer version of the mod that features recurring dates & multi-date events but it's still in beta. See here: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=44067 |

| I already have the calendar modified for my purposes to show Cat | Forum | Topic as well as the Birthday Mod installed, is there any quick way to flush out the edits to the files for this mod? |

DJBBIZ that sounds great. Can I see it?
The new mod should be easier to install because all large changes have been moved to include files. But to upgrade from the old mod, I'm afraid the only way would be to change your files by comparing the old instructions with the new instructions. Maybe I can write a new readme for upgrading but that's not a priority right now. For the moment I just want to make sure that the new mod works fine and all the bugs are ironed out. |

| If you click the link in my signature: tmi Financial Strategies & Principles on the main page (sitenews.asp) SH ver9+ center column down about 2/3 of the page you will see the calendar with current events listed by Cat | Forum | Topic The changes to the files are extensive and of course I have not documented it! But again its a matter of reading/comparing the files side by side to figure out the changes... |
