In short, this modification will allow social groups on your forum have their own calendar area and have upcoming events shown on their group page. Here is a list of features:
  1. Upcoming events for a group are shown on the group's page, grouped by day.
  2. The group's next event is shown in more detail and can be configured to show the entire event description or be trimmed to a certain number of characters.
  3. Members can see events for all the social groups they belong to consolidated into one calendar.
  4. The forum home index page can be setup to show upcoming events for social groups.
  5. Non-members can see upcoming events for a public group by viewing the group's page. They will not see events for these groups in the calendar view or on the forum homepage, which will help keep the clutter down.
  6. Group's that are moderated, invite only, or must join to view content, will not display their upcoming events to non-members. Their events are also secured, so following a link to an event by a non-member will result in a no permissions error.
  7. Group owners can optionally allow members to be able to post events, or they can set their group up so that only they can post events.
  8. When clicking on the New Event link from the group's page, the event will automatically be assigned to the referring group.
  9. When creating a new event from the calendar view, the creator can assign the event to any group he has permissions to post events. These events will appear in a drop down box on the event.
  10. Admins and moderators can be set to be excluded from all filtering and permissions. This allows the administrator an unfiltered view of the social group calendar, and the ability to move or edit group's events as needed.
  11. Plays nice with Farcaster's Event Attendance v2.0 (RSVP mod).

Shame there aren't the hooks you require. I'm more than happy to do those edits, but it will make upgrading a nightmare. Will have to pass.

10 points for a solid mod idea.

Stubbed,

The good news is that they don't always update the functions_calendar.php which is where most of the file edits are. If they don't update it in a revision, then you can omit the file when you reupload the "upload" folder.

And, thanks!

BUG FIX [0.1.0]: Upcoming Events Looses Social Group Info

Bug: The upcoming events on the forum home page sometimes loose the social group names and are no longer filtered appropriately.

If you installed 0.1.0 and completed the steps to add upcoming social events to your forum home page, follow these steps to resolve:

In functions_calendar.php, find:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Replace with:

Very good, Trek. It doesn't look like there are many reported issues, so it will probably be soon. The next release should also have some additional functionality.

Upgrade Instructions for 0.1.0 BETA to 1.0.0

I forgot to add upgrade instructions for 0.1.0 to 1.0.0. Actually, there is only one thing to do:

1. Import the file production file product-rah_socialgroup_calendars_1_0_0.xml and be sure to select "Yes" to Allow Override.

This is similar to your older event attendance mod. is it possible to use this mod in the way the other mod worked (by choosing a calendar, rather than a social calendar).
