Calendar block for phpBB Calendar 0.0.8

[jotne]

It does not update the mini calendar that comes with Board3, it gives you a new one.
The new mini Calendar do display current day and upcoming events using bold numbers on the calendar.
It does alos show next event below the mini Calender.

PS you do need to install "phpBB Calendar 0.0.8" before you install this mod.

Thanks jotne. Yes I was aware that it is a new calendar block. I must have done something wrong then since it is not displaying events.

Minor bug in Calendar block.
All the standard block in Board3 portal do have rounded corner on the grey background, but not the Calendar block for phpBB Calendar 0.0.8. It does have square corner.

I've got this mod laid out to where I really like it. Thank you for those contributing to it. Just a few questions:

1) How can I limit the number of events shown?

2) If I were to delete the mini calendar so it just showed events, what codes can I delete?

Thanks again.

[edit]

To clarify #1 above, what can I delete particularly from the php files? I'm pretty sure I know what to delete from the portal html file.

Also, would there be a way to limit the number of characters displayed for an event? So that events with particularly long names do not wrap too many times in the block.

1) How can I limit the number of events shown?

Ok found this one in the functions file.

Code: Select all

          // find next 5 events
          $result = $db->sql_query_limit($sql, 5, 0);

Still wondering how I can truncate event descriptions and also what I can delete from the php files if I took out the mini calendar from the html file and left just the events.

Thanks!

Oh snap I’m on a roll ... I think I found the truncate piece.

Code: Select all

                $event_output['EVENT_SUBJECT'] = censor_text($row['event_subject']);
                if( $subject_limit > 0 )
                {
                   if(utf8_strlen($event_output['EVENT_SUBJECT']) > $subject_limit)
                   {
                      $event_output['EVENT_SUBJECT'] = truncate_string($event_output['EVENT_SUBJECT'], $subject_limit) . '...';
                   }
                }

Where $subject_limit is probably the same character limit in the ACP for the calendar mod. I’m going to try and hardcode a number there to limit the event description. What I have in the ACP is fine but I have far more limited space in my 180px portal block.

Ok so last piece is what I can delete if I remove the mini calendar? Anyone? Beuller?

Hi t.r.,

in your calendar's ACP you can set, how many characters of the subject will be shown ("0" = no limit)

The portal's calender block displays the same then.

Indeed you are right, thomas ... however, I want to set a different limit in the portal than in the main calendar mod.

There might be a bug when it is an all-day event. Someone setup an all day event for Christmas (12/25) in the main calendar and it is showing up in the block as 12/24.

Hello,

I install this block, and after that I have troubles with Calendar.

Mini calander is one Year ahead, and events are not shown.
On click "CALENDAR" open big calendar (one year ahad), but on click on event, there open event.

There is always different view, depend of browser. IE show different as Firefox ...

Any idea ?

My forum finded the issue too.
Example:
One event is from "01/06/2009 07:30" to "01/06/2009 08:30".

But it shows "[1.5]" on portal.


I settle the problem following:

#
#-----[ OPEN ]-----
#
includes/functions_calendar.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]-----
#

Code: Select all

            $dayOfEvent =  getdate($row["sort_timestamp"]);

#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]-----
#

Code: Select all

            $dayOfEvent =  getdate($row["sort_timestamp"]+8*60*60);// UTC+8

#
#-----[ SAVE & CLOSE ]-----
#

Now it shows normal on portal.


P.S.
Because the timezone of my forum is "UTC+8", so "+8*60*60".
Please change it by your timezone.
Example:
If your timezone is "UTC+5", you must change to "+5*60*60".
