I have some suggestions above and beyond what UGBC has requested. These may have already been Suggested so if they have then just disregard them.
1. You might want to consider being able to have events span multiple days/times. This way when you look at the month or week view, you can see an even that spans multiple days rather then seeing the same event in each of the days it spans. (Was that clear?)
2. Have the ability to set a password on who can post an event, make this "password" field similar to the password field on a forum so that it works with NT groups. If you need help with NT groups I’d be happy to lend any assistance i can.
3. I would also concur with UGBC that having different "categories" of the calendar would be great, such as being able to only view the events for say the soccer team, or only the events for the baseball team.
Hope this helps some. If I can be of any help Please let me know. I would very much like to integrate your events MOD with these additions into my Intranet site. <
Thank you so much red1, very easy to allow all members to post events :) now, one question, I'd like to always have the add event drop down menu + button there, but when a non member clicked it, it would redirect them to a page that asks them to register much like when a non member clicks Post New Topic in the main forum, they get redirected to a page asking them to register. I was looking throug the cal.asp code, and I saw where you called the form to add new events but was not sure how to modify it so that the form is there for all users, and then further modify it to add an if statement to check if that user is a member or not when they click the "GO" button.
I don't want to be too much of a bother but in the cal_functions.asp I see the sub routine for add events, I know it's rather minor to change it so that all users can view it, but what is the code to check if they are a member when they click go, and then the code to redirect them to the page that displays "please register". Thanks so much for helping<

Yes I understood what you're saying. What I have planned is to present the user with a choice to have the event repeat every day, every other day, every week, every month, MWF, etc. The simplest way to show the repeating events in the calendar is to just display the title, and hopefully the user can figure out that if two events have the same title then they must be the same event. But I'm open to suggestions if you can come up with a better way of doing this.

How about this: you can limit which forums would allow event postings, and just turn on topic moderation for the forums that allow events. That way you can monitor which events become public.

To some extent this is already implemented. You can create different forums for your events, and make them private forums so that they're visible only to specific users.
I see what you're saying, and it's a good idea. I'll add it a future version; it'll take a while before the next update though, I have a lot on my hands right now.

You can change this in cal_constants.asp so that the form is displayed only to registered members
Const intAllowedtoPostEvent = 2
The calendar uses post.asp to add events. All that the form does is forward the request to add a topic to post.asp<
if strRqMethod = "Edit" or strRqMethod = "URL" or strRqMethod = "EditURL" or _
strRqMethod = "Forum" or strRqMethod = "EditForum" or _
strRqMethod = "Reply" or strRqMethod = "ReplyQuote" or _
strRqMethod = "EditTopic" or strRqMethod = "Topic" or strRqMethod = "TopicQuote" then
To move the calendar to the top, you can move this line:
Is this MOD still considered a beta MOD or has it been tested enough to be used for production? It has been out for over a month so I'm hoping it is near or at a production status. I remember seeing in a message that you would not be able keep working on the MOD because you had some other things to take of. But I see that you have still answered questions and provided fixes. So I believe this has got to be a good MOD as you beleieve in it. So I'm anxious to use it in my three forums.
I try to drop in just to see if people need help with the mod. As for the mod's stability, I still cannot make guarantees. I would suggest creating a dummy forum (using a duplicate copy of your existing database) so you can test the mod extensively before going live with it.<
I don't think you're supposed to look at those files in a browser - they are full of code that are referred to in other pages, so a blank result is perfectly fine.<
Thanks for that great mod, I have a little question, I translate this mod to Turkish, but the names of the Days are still english? I use english version of snitz...<

anadolubjk: Try changing the Session.LCID in config.asp to 1055 for Turkish.
Raziel: It's almost ready now, you can see it running in a production environment on laser's site (www.v8central.com) or jeepaholic's site (www.jeepaholics.com) (I hope they don't mind me promoting their sites ). I'd like to wait a little more before I drop the "beta" out of the title, but don't let that stop you from trying out the mod. This mod would benefit from more people using it so I can find all those bugs and take it out of beta sooner.<
