What's new in this version? - Removed the T_ISEVENT flag from the Topics table, and just added a different method to check if a topic is an event. Apparently it's taboo for mods to add new fields the topics table, it being a fundamental table and all, in that it might affect performance. - Added F_ALLOWEVENTS field to the Forum table to set if events are allowed in a forum, since people were still having trouble with the text file settings. - Admin page (yay!) to set which forums can allow events. Also added a checkbox to allow events in the forum properties page. - Javascript calendar datepicker widget thingie, in post.asp - Some formatting changes to fit Snitz 3.4.05
For those with existing mods or using the older version of the mod, I found this program TextDiff (http://www.users.on.net/johnson/delphi/textdiff.html) which lets you open two files for comparing. It's totally free and it highlights the differences between two files and lets you see them side by side so you can easily edit them.
The main reasons why this was not posted at Snitz and why I might not post the bugs I find directly at Snitz anymore are the ways "ruirib and HuwR" take pleasure to criticize just about anything I post and seem to resent the fact that I want to improve and correct Snitz which, I agree, serve as the original base for my own Forum.
These are some of the actions I find unacceptable: ruirib and HuwR take fun to Delete some of my topics, of my replies, locked or move my topic.
A topic posted last week from me to Davio in "Help: MOD Implementation" Forum as been deleted.
I installed the new version. Seems to run fine. Any chance the admin part could be added into the rest of the admin section rather than going to a seperate page?
Events get a work out on our site so will let you know if any issues arise.
Just trying to install the calendar mod and got this error updating the database

Thank you for the excellent MOD! I just installed it yesterday.
Could you list where the fixes are so that I don't have to redo the whole MOD?
Also, I was wondering if it's possible to add an event to the calendar only, without it being a post on a forum. I would like to use this for community events on a nonprofit agency web site. But with events listed for every day, the forum will get filled up with redundant posts in a hurry.
In addition, is it possible to change the default calendar view (e.g. daily, weekly, monthly) when the calendar is opened?
There's a changelog.txt that says: Fixed forum sorting bug on cal_admin.asp Fixed date display on weekly Fixed events not showing on cal_default.asp
I don't think you don't need to redo anything. Just copy the new files over.

No the readme says it doesn't work that way. What I did was to make a separate forum for events so that events and topics are separate.

You can just change the "Events Calendar" link to point to cal.asp?view=monthly if you want it to default to month view.
