Okay this may be a dumb question...but then again I'm asking it :)
Is it possible to let Moderators and/or other users to create events?< |

Indeed it is! Open up the CAL_CONSTANTS.ASP file ... there's a simple little change you need to make in there on line 9.
Just installed this mod on my basically not-used 3.4 forum ... a snap! Even with Message Icons installed. You just need to watch what you are changing so that you don't erase the MI code snippets, keep things in order [at least I do - don't know that it's necessary] and change the numbering accordingly ...
Like I say, not much use as of yet, but I tested it out & all seems ok.
Beautiful mod!! Thanks for it!< |

Red1 I just reinstalled your mod again and the time is still off just on the events calendar. I am not sure if you ever got anyone to test the fix you mentioned or not.
Thanks

ok - everything's working well but I'd like a little security change...
Can we filter the upcoming events to display topics ONLY for those forums to which the member is allowed access?< |

Oh yeah, repeating events is a function I really could use!  < |

It should be working. The calendar now uses the time that the forum uses. Have you set your local time in the admin options?

I'm trying it out now. I suppose you'd want that for the daily, monthly and events list views as well. It's an easy modification, but it's really slowing the pages down.< |

How does this sound... if an event is posted in a forum where the user has no access, the title won't be displayed, but the date is still shown as red in the small calendar. So the user knows that there's an event for that date, only he won't know what it is. This is the best I could do; the check for allowed forums takes too long for the small calendar.
I'll do a bit more testing before I re-upload it.
Hmm, a week view... I tried but it seemed redundant. It would only duplicate the information in the other pages.

Your right but it will give you a better overview if you can get a printout of all events for a hole week. I always use a week-plan - so.... But anyway, this was just a suggestions!

Would it be possible to make using a forum for events an option rather than a requirement? I realize that it means adding at least one more table, but for me a topic for every event makes things cluttered. Perhaps I can just remove the code that creates the link to the forum topic and then make the events forum hidden to everyone?
Or change the code the lists recent/future events to simply go to that event in the calendar rather than the event forum topic?
Any help would be appreciated.< |

Not sure if anyone else is seeing this, but when I go to edit the first topic in a thread the message body itself is not retrieved. I know it's in the post.asp file and I've doublechecked the edits and they appear okay. Wondered if anyone else is seeing this...
I have the MSG Icon mod installed and I've seen a couple of instances where I had to be careful about the order of things and was wondering whether this might be another case.< |

Maybe it'll be easier if you just told me what the error was, and what part you changed in the file?

I haven't tried the message icon mod myself. I'll have a look and see if there are conflicts.

I'm sorry but this was really how the mod was designed. The whole point of the mod was for users to be able to have discussions about the event.

Sure you can do that. But right now I'm adding support for private forums and moderated forums, such that if a user has no access to the forum the event won't appear in the calendar.

You can do that too. Just remove all links to topic.asp

I'll see what I can come up with
