This is a service release of the snitz calendar. It's is not a new version because Non-US dates is still not fully supported yet. And still needs mod_dbsetup.
Repeat: Non US date format is still unsupported in this version
Still need help on this because I can't really test what I'm doing involving non US dates.
rkattan has made a version for non US date. Try it out if you're not using US dates and give us some feedback.
http://www.kattanweb.com/webdev/download.asp?file=events_non_us_date.zip
I wanted to release this because I notice that the topic thread for version 2 was getting pretty long and hard to follow.
Also in this version, I made attempts to fix some bugs like not being able to see big month view calendar or events_details. Also made some changes to layout for week_view, recent, and upcoming events sections.
Cleaned up the code and arranged it differently. Also added more comments.
Separated the styles to events_styles.asp. So if you want to change the colors, background and mouseover effects, do the changes to events_styles.asp.
also new to this version that many people will like is to display events calendar on the default page.
To update just replace the version 2 files with new files.
demo and download at:
http://www.calvsa.net/snitz/
also showcasing my new snitz development site. 
Additions and Changes on April 5th:
- fixed long titles so that it's smoother
- fixed the link to "top" anchor (thanks kor for pointing this out)
- Separated Event Functions to it's own page, events_functions.asp
- Implemented pop_event.asp (from martha2mary's request)
- minor layout changes
- To Change the number of events that is displayed in the events_inc, change this variable to what you want.
intDisplay = 5 'The number of events to display in upcoming events and recent events of events_inc.asp
the default is 5 as you can see.
- To Change the number of events that is displayed in the main events page, change this variable to what you want.
intDisplay = 15 'The number of events to display in upcoming events and recent events of events.asp
the default is 15 as you can see.

Aznknight,
I like what you have done with your events calendar, especially the addition to having an
<!--#include file="events_inc.asp"--> in default.asp. I added mine just above the stats and it blends in to the main forum page nicely

Here is events.dbs (or whatever you want to call it)
(this works with the latest version of mod_dbsetup.asp that can be found here)
code starts here
----------------
Snitz Events Calendar v2 sr1
[CREATE]
EVENTS
EVENT_ID
DATE_ADDED#varchar (20)##
START_DATE#varchar (20)##
END_DATE#varchar (20)##
EVENT_TITLE#varchar (100)##
EVENT_DETAILS#memo##
ADDED_BY#int##
PRIVATE#int##0
[END]
just copy the code and paste it into a new file and name it events.dbs or something else with the .dbs extension. |

thank richard, using mod_dbsetup is great. 
I'll add the events.dbs and copy of mod_dbsetup to the zip.

Theres a major error in it... When i clicked on April 1st to add an event it kept warping me to January 4th... Then when i clicked a few other first week numbers it took me to other months also..... Just noticed it happens when you click the first of any month and some of the other first week days on any month will warp to different months not allowing events to be added for the day of the month you actually want.
I tested the days some more... The days from 1-12 cause it to warp to different months but from 13-31 is fine.

also should add color="<% =strHeadFontColor %>" To line 901 - 907 (from Sun To Sat) cause some of us have certain categories and tables white and the text ends up white so it won't show.

This is not a major error. As stated:
This mod does not support non-US Dates. Maybe this will be supported in the future soon as I get some help with this.
The reason clicking on april 1st warps you to january 4th is because 4/1/2001 means january 4th, 2000 and not april 1st, 2001 on your server which uses non-US Dates.

Aznight, your are still formatting the href's using Server.URLEncode(dToday) if you remove the Server.URLEncode it will jump to the correct date regardless.
Server.URLEncode(dToday) formats the date in local format rather than US like the underlying code.

Woops I totally forgot about the server.urlEncode discussion the devs had awhile back  . Will remove them and update the zip soon.
Hey when you help with the non-US dates thing, try to re-download the one from www.calva.net/snitz/ as that is the latest. Ignore the other thread where I originally asked for the help and thanks .

hmm richard, would this line create an error in the create statement?
