New Event Calendar v1.21b up to V1.3

[YeShakka]

are "register_globals" in php.ini off or on? Read this whole thread for mor information.

Hey Mathias!
you really rock!

Adding that little line in change_event.php solved the problem.

@Bennie_wijs
Would you mind integradting this in the next version of the module directly? Thanks.

I will have a merry X-Mas since my Baker will go to to public next week!

Thanky you (again)!

I have WB v2.6.1 with event module v 1.21c.
I am able to store event dates, but the event_desc is not stored.
I am pretty knowledgable at programming, but not an expert at php. 

Any advice?
Thanks in advance,
Geek

I also find that whatever event i try to add gets added to todays date regardless of date I enter.
Seems broken to me...

Hello,

Event Calendar is developed for WB 2.5.x. In the core code of WB 2.6.x there are a lot of changes, so it could be that modules for WB 2.5.x are not working correct. I hope the developper of Event Calendar will have a look at his modul and make it 2.6.x compatible.

Matthias

OK,
Vielen Dank.

I was hoping this was not the case.
How stable is version WB 2.5.x compared with the current 2.6.x?

thanks for the event calendar, its a great module!

now my questions:
i need 2 other pages:
 - upcoming events
 - reviews

in 'upcoming events' all upcoming events should be displayed (with Link to Infos) and in reviews all past events (with Link to Infos too) should be displayed.
is this possible? how can i handle that

I am still stuck on this issue.  I have added the line as recommended and it did fix my date issue on a new install, but I am still stuck with the 256 character limit in events.  is this possibly a limitation on the databases end?

Is there a way to get around the 256 character limit when posting an event?  When entering the event info, you can surpass 256 letters, but once submitted, the event is truncated to 256.  If you go back and edit the event, it is now 256 letters long.

I am running into a few cases where the amount of info for the event is lengthy and not fitting to the event posts.

[cmiper]

I have solved my problem with the 255 character limit when posting events.

If anyone is interested, the information is below.

DO NOT use this info if you are not familiar with PHP Administration.

Code:

'`event_desc` varchar(255) NOT NULL,'

That is the default setting for the event description in the install.php file that comes with this module.  It *cannot* be changed to anything over 255 characters if it is to remain as a varchar, *but* if you replace varchar(255) with text, you no longer have the limitation.

Since I already had it installed, I just used phpMyAdmin and  changed the 'event_desc" to 'text' from 'varchar(255)'.

Fixed for my needs, though YMMV.

Hi, new user of WB here. I tried to download version 1.21c using the links in quoted message below, but all I get is a page not found error. Is there a good link where I can download this version?

New Version of Event-Calendar released

Whats new:
+ Added some lines to language.php. The Modul is now 100% multilingual (I hope  )
+ Uninstall now deletes Search Table Entries
# Cleaned the html-code ( there was a little bit confusion with <table>, <tr> and <td>  )
# Minor changes in view.php

How to update:
There are no database changes so you can unzip it and place the files in /modules/event if you already have older version installed.

Download Event Calendar v1.21c

@beate
Download Deutscher Event Calendar v1.21c
Schau mal drüber, sollte jetzt alles passen  .

@Bennie Wijs
Thanks for this great modul. Please look at the code. Hope the changes are ok for you. Changed the following files:
info.php, language.php, change_event.php, modify.php, modify_event.php and view.php

[cmiper]

Odd, it seems to be the only one removed from the site too...

It can still be found in the "Completed Modules" forum:

http://forum.websitebaker.org/index.php/topic,1293.msg7753.html#msg7753

Let the page complete loading and you will land on the appropriate post with the download link.

[cycletronic]

Thank you very much, I've succesfully downloaded it

When I wanna chage/add an event I can't change the year.

I am shown an option drop-down with options from -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
And no change to edit the event correctly and modify existing events.

I had the same deal.  What I found is that, if you go into the MySQL table and find the entry, you can change the year to 2006.  Thereafter, your years will appear correctly in the drop-down menu to add/modify/delete events.

Hope that helps.  Still haven't gotten the error to go away on the Search results though....

Hello,

I'm working on a new version of event-calender wich solves this bug and made the modul mor WB 2.6.x compatible. It's ready to 95%. Only the admin interface (wich will be get completly reorderd) have to finish. Hope i could release the new version tonight.

Oh wow Matthias, that would be fantastic!  Thank you so much!

OK, here we go

Event Calendar 1.3 released

After a long time and a few hours of working i'm proud to present the first version of the new Event Calendar Modul.

Changelog:

Version 1.3
  + Added multilanguage support from woudloper
  + fixed register_globals off bug
  + made modul WB 2.6.x compatible
  + stored all files unix konform
  + Changed Admin Interface Layout

The most work was to totally rewrite the admin interface. It now has more the look of the other WB Modules.

ToDoList:

• made the layout editable in the admin interface
• change standard layout for the frontpage
• fix the bug with wrong date formation in admin interface

Please test this version and have fun.

To update from 1.21c only overwrite the files with the new ones. There are no database changes.

Matthias

Edit:
Download here

[Ditto]

Goodness you work quickly!  Thanks so much.  I'll install and test this evening.  Now, in fact!

 

UPDATE

I have a client production site that I had already installed the 1.21c version on, and I have a testbed site that never had the Event calendar mod installed at all.  Both are linux systems with register globals off.  Both are WB 2.6.1 installations.  Both are hosted with the same hosting companies, come to think of it.

The new install went without a hitch.  No errors during install, no errors during the creation of a test page, and no errors after installing it when using the search on the site.

The existing install didn't fare so well.  I didn't use the install function with it, but rather simply replaced the files on the server as indicated in your post.  No errors in displaying the page originally made with the event module, however the search function still fails with the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/firework/public_html/search/search.php on line 203

Line 203 of search.php reads as follows:

Code:

foreach($string AS $each_string) {

I'm going to go ahead and uninstall the old events module.  There was also a change to a file that we were supposed to make to correct the search function error.  I don't recall what it was, but I keep notes so I can backpedal if needed.  I'll take that out of the changed file as well and try installing from scratch.

Thanks again!

Hello,

are you 100% shure the search works before updating to new event-calendar?

As there are now database changes, and the searchfunction only search the database, your search error has nothing to do with the changed files from Event Calendar.

A little bit more information would be nice.

The Modules index has been updated with the version of ruebenwurzel (Version 1.3)

Good work ruebenwurzel 

[dellington]

Can the appearance of the Events calendar be modified? I couldn't figure out where to do that.

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

at the moment you only can change the layout when you edit the css File wich is in the modules directory.

ToDoList:

    * made the layout editable in the admin interface
    * change standard layout for the frontpage
    * fix the bug with wrong date formation in admin interface

Thats the points wich will be fixed in the next release.

Matthias

[dellington]

Thanks! I downloaded event.css and made some changes but when I tried to upload the new version I got a message saying I don't have permission. What's that about? Somethign weird on just my server, or soemthing abotu how wb is configured? If I re-zip the events module with the modified css and re-install the whole thing, will it mess anything up? Thanks!

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

When you install a modul via admin interface the owner of the files is the webserver. Normally the ftp user have now wrights to change this files. On the other side when you upload a file via ftp this files have the wrights of the ftp user and th change them (f.e. uninstalling via admin interface) gives also an error because the webserver has no wrights to change the ftp user files.

So what can you do.
1. In Admin interface, options, advance options you can change the wrights of files and folders. But this is global and if you give chmod 777 to every file and folder could be a security problem.
2. Some webhoster have the ability to change file wrights from ftp to webserver and back.
3. When you want change the files more then one times, the best way is to uninstall the modul via interface. Then unzip the modul and ftp the files to the modules directory (must be the same folder structure as the installed version). Then go to admin interface, settings - advanced settings and reload with the reload tool at the bottom of the page the modules.

Hope this helps

Nice improvements and works great. Web Site Baker is just amazing.. simple yet powerfull

One adjustment I made to the events calendar was to call the css from the "templates" folder this way I can edit, via the template editor, the css to change the look and feel of the Events Calendar.  Makes it a little easier than editing the css directly since easy access isn't always available. Im sure a check could be made and include the default css file if the specfic template didnt have one.

in the event folder, file view.php changed the css link to be
<link href="<?php echo TEMPLATE_DIR; ?>/event.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />


Great work everyone... I'm still in the proccess of learning about WebSiteBaker.. hopefully in the near future I can add to the awsome work being done here...

Hello,

nice idea, but i think the better solution is to make the stylesheet editable from the options in the admin inteface. This will be included in the next version.

Matthias

[rsmith]

That would be cool...
This brings up another issue, I have only one events calendar on my site.. so having an administraive module to edit the css would work great , where I see an issue.. (small one) is if someone has multiple Event Calendars.. .they would have to edit each one to get the same look and feel... change the template and would have to again edit the css for each one....
 
I have had this issue with the Image Gallery.. having multiple galleries and having to edit each one to make adjustments.... if there were a "Template" standard, then maybe an "Override Template" option for each individual gallery/calendar would make changing the look and feel of a site faster and easier... (not hard now just repetative)..

just a thought... I know as the development of my pages continues to grow I end up going back and tweaking each page...

On another note... I've looked without much success.. is there a basic "HowTo" for creating modules, installable, administrative etc...  I could look and see what others hae done..just wondering if there were some "rules" set as to how you & other developers would like things done..
