NEW EVENTS CALENDAR MOD FOR SNITZ 3.4.03 beta
=============================================
by red1

This mod is still being tested. Do not install
on your live forums.
Last Updated 25 October 2002
This is a completely new mod and not an update of the old calendar mod. It works
differently in that the events are inserted in the topics table instead of a separate
events table. I thought of doing it this way so that you can have discussion threads
about the events.

If you don't want your events to be mixed up with all your topics, you can create
a new forum specifically for events and just place all event-related posts there.

THIS MAY STILL HAVE BUGS, SO INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
What's in here:
* Events posted as topics. * Month calendar and upcoming/recent events displayed on default.asp
* Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly, and Events List views. * Internationalization-ready. What's not:
* Events with repeating dates, because I personally don't need it. However if
anyone wants to adopt this mod to add new features, it's fine with me.

I have added this MOD to the Server Hacker Ful-MOD version of Snitz.
I have found a few issues so far mainly due to the code not being clean. I think it's just a matter of Server Hacker adding the MOD to his version of the forum.
I created a Calender Events Catagory and sub-forum to hold all the Calender Events. Otherwise, it wants to use the Announcements (or other selectable forum) for the events.

This isn't a bug, this was how I designed it. Create a new forum for events, then place all event posts there.

Sorry, I should have been more explicit with my instructions. You don't run dbs_events_mod.asp. To update the database:
1. Upload dbs_events_mod.asp to your forum folder. 2. Log-on as admin, then go to Admin options.
3. Click on Mod Setup
---a. If Mod Setup takes you to a page that says "Database Setup, Select the Mod from the list below... " and presents you with a selectbox, choose "New Events Calendar Mod for Snitz 3.4.02 if its not already selected, and Click "Update"
---b. If the Mod Setup page doesn't load, go back to Admin Options and choose "Alternative Mod Setup." You will see a textbox, an empty space for you to enter code. Open the file dbs_events_mod.asp in notepad and COPY and PASTE its contents into the textbox, and hit Submit.

Your Database should now be updated correctly.<

OK, I started from scrach.
I first verified that snitz 3.4.03 was up and running.
I then uploaded the dbs_events_mod.asp into the forum directory.
I then when into the admin options and selected Mod Update. Your mod was listed there and I succesfully updated the data base.
I then extracted the following files into the forum directory:

cal.asp
cal_constants.asp
cal_default.asp
cal_functions.asp
cal_style.asp

I then extracted the following files into the image directory:

icon_event.gif
icon_leftarrow.gif
icon_rightarrrow.gif

I modified the the following files as oulined in the readme.txt file:

active.asp - 6 changes
admin_forums.asp - 4 changes
config.asp - 1 change
default.asp - 1 change
forum.asp - 6 changes
post.asp - 7 changes
post_info.asp - 6 changes
topic.asp - 5 changes

Once I finished updating all the files, I still get the following error.
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E10)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 2. /forum/cal_functions.asp, line 59

I guess I could have messed up one of the changes.
Any ideas?

I'm assuming you didn't change anything in cal_functions.asp.
I rechecked my code and it looks ok, so I think this is a database error.
Were there no errors returned from Mod Setup? Is this on a fresh install or do you have other mods installed?

If that's not the problem, you can post here again<
