Automatic Calendar Reminders
Developer Last Online: Jun 2014 
This modification is in the archives.
What does it do?
This hack allows your members to receive automatic reminders for all upcoming events in one or more calendars of their choice without having to request individual reminders for each event. In effect, this operates like a subscription to a calendar. How does it work? When opening a calendar, the user will be presented with an option just under the calendar title to subscribe or unsubscribe to the calendar. Members can request automatic reminders for all events on the calendar for one, two or three days in advance. Once per day, a digest of all upcoming events will be sent to the user advising them of upcoming events in the time frame they chose. (see attached screenshot) Users can also unsubscribe from a calendar by going to the UserCP and Event Reminders section (see attached screenshot) Example Email (uses the event reminder email template):
You do not need to uninstall the previous version. To upgrade from previous version to 1.0.3: 1. Remove the Calendar Subscription cron job if it exists. 2. Delete the file includes/cron/calendar_reminder.php 3. Make the changes to the reminder.php file as specified in the instructions below. Installation Instructions - 1 XML upload - 1 template modification - 1 file edit 1. Use the Product Manager to import the product file product-rah_calendar_autoremind_1_0_3.xml 3. Use the Style Manager to add the following code to the bottom of your CALENDAR_REMINDER template:
4. Open a copy of the includes/cron/reminder.php file and find the following:
Replace with the following:
Above that, near the top of the reminder.php file, find:
Below that add:
(Note: If a user chooses to receive a reminder 3 days in advance, they will receive a daily reminder on each day from the 3 days out to 1 day out) And, that's it. I hope you enjoy. Please click "install" if you use this hack. I have not tested this with 3.6.1 yet, but there shouldn't be any reason it won't work with it. Revision History Version 1.0.0 - Initial Release Version 1.0.1 - Fixed caching bug that caused calendar templates to become uncached when the user clicked the subscribe or unsubscribe link. Version 1.0.2 - Fixed problem were reminders were sent for 3 days in advance regardless of the setting a member chose. Version 1.0.3 - Removed calendar_reminder.php and merged email code with existing reminder.php. A parallel version for 3.5.x forums is now available here.

Limitations:
Calendar Reminders are sent once per day at or after midnight based on the system time. The time is not configurable. This will be resolved in a future revision. No members have liked this post.

In addition to that, in normal calendar view (when you first access it), only this template 'calendar_subscribe_bit ' is not cached.

The caching problem is now resolved. See the upgrade instructions. Additionally, I added a plugin to cache the new subscription templates.
