Worked great! The only thing is that I tried to add $todaysevents to my forumhome_pmloggedin template but it doesn't show. The reason I did this is because I have the Private Messages box at the top of the forum page and would like to have Today's Events there as well. I don't really want the Currently Active Users at the top of the page though.

If you're still bored, could you tell me how to do this?

Oh and one other thing - I noticed that the event for today stopped displaying when the server's time went past midnite. It looks like this isn't tied into the users time like $birthdaybits is. (Today's birthday still displayed.)

Thanks again!

forumhome_pmloggedin is evaluated before the $todaysevents in the hack code is. that may have something to do with it.

if you want the $todaysevents to show up there, move the require('./todaysevents.php'); up before the pm stuff in index.php

and yes, i should fix the time problem. didn't even think about that. next version...

Great hack! Installed it right away...

Not content with perfection ...

I tried to move this display into the header template.

I've failed.

Here's what I did:

1. I moved the require statement in index.php up to the top, just under the:

require('./global.php');

2. I changed the $todaysevents in todaysevents.php to add some HTML for a boxed in announcement.

3. I added $todayseventsClose to todaysevents.php to close up said HTML, I added it right under the $todaysevents line

4. I modified the header template to add

$todaysevents
$todayseventsClose

just after the last TD of the basic template.

What did I miss?

I get no errors. But I don't get an event either.

[mister]

hmm.

theres an event scheduled for today, right?

[sysmom]

Yup, I put a test event in today. When I revert the files, it shows up fine.

I feel real dumb.

This worked perfectly - thanks!

One other slight thing - how can I change the font color to match the standard text color rather than the calendar text?

On second thoguht - that's not a big deal. I'll just change the calendar colors.

you could make your own templates, instead of using the default calendar ones ... i just used those becuase they were there

[Steve Machol]

Yeah I just changed the calendar colors for all my style sets. It was something I needed to do anyway. The default Calendar colors weren't compatible with some of my styles.

[Steve Machol]

With the start of a new month, Today's Event suddenly stopped working. Nothing is showing up anymore even though there are two events on my Calendar. I haven't made any changes at all.

Any idea what could be wrong?

[boatdesign]

Would it be possible to show "This Week's Events" instead of "Today's Events"? Probably all in one group still (not by day) to save space.

[sysmom]

Ouch, my Today's events aren't working with the new month, either.

That confirms it. If it's happening to both of us it must be a bug.

Can you take a look at this mister? Thanks!

[mister]

yea, ill take a look at it..

EDIT: works fine for me.. got a url i can look at?

[sysmom]

Mister:

I'm sorry, the board isn't available to the public. Otherwise, I'd LOVE for you to look at the thing.

I'll go back and double check everything.

My URL is in my sig. I entered another test event for today and it still doesn't show up. In my case, I moved the Today's Events to under the Private Messaging box. It worked fine until July 1st.
