Unfortunately, vBulletin lacks some hooks in key places for events, such as hooks to the event SQL statements. This means that there are a number of file edits needed for this modification. Sorry for that, but I hope it will be worth it! Enjoy!

Step One – Backup Your Database and vBulletin Files!
This really needs to be said, especially since this version is in BETA. Loss of data/time/business is not the responsibility of the developer. Use at your own risk.

Step Two – Import the Product File
In the Admin CP, import rah_socialgroup_calendars.xml.

Step Three – Edit vBulletin File: includes/functions_calendar.php
Note: If you do not want to have Social Group Events show up in the upcoming events section on your forum homepage, then you only need do steps 1 through 7 in this section.

1. Find the first instance of (in function cache_events, near the beginning of the file):

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

2. Above that add:

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

3. Scroll back down and after the comma in “SELECT event.*,” add:

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

4. Scroll down about five lines to find:

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

5. Below that add:

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

6. Scroll down about four lines to find:

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

7. Below that add:

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

8. Find the following (in function build_events, near the end of the file):

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

9. Above that add:

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

10. After “dateline_to AS dateline_to_user, utc, dst”, add:

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

11. Scroll down about two lines and find:

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

12. Below that add:

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

Step Four – Edit vBulletin File: forum.php
Note: If you do not want to have Social Group Events show up in the upcoming events section on your forum homepage, you can skip this section entirely. Keep in mind though that if you do have your calendar options set to show events from the calendar that social group events will be posted to, the list will not be filtered and everyone will see them.

1. Find the following:

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

2. Below that add:

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

3. Find the following:

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

4. Below that add:

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

5. Immediately below the code you just entered, find:

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

6. Replace with:

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

Step Five – Upload Files
Upload the modified files to the appropriate directory in your forum.

Step Six – Edit Template: socialgroups_form
1. Find the following:

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

2. Below that add:

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

Step Seven – Edit Template: socialgroups_group

Note: You can adjust the placement of the event block to your liking by changing the positioning in the socialgroups_group template.
1. Find the following:

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

2. Above that add:

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

Step Eight – Edit Template: calendar_edit
1. Find the following:

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

2. Below that add:

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

Step Nine– Configuration
In the Admin CP, go into vBulletin Options -> Social Group Calendar. Set the options as desired. The product will not start working until a calendar ID is entered in this section. Make sure to configure the calendar selected to allow members to post events.

Cindy, what do you mean? What this mod does is provide a cross over from the calendar into social groups.

o ok i mean if i dont have an social group i can use this for my default calendar ?
thx

[Farcaster]

Cindy,

This doesn't add any functionality to the calendar other than the tie in with social groups, so no, if your site doesn't use social groups, this mod will not do anything for you.

This hack doesn't show events on the main calendar unless the member is in the group in which the event is for, correct? Is there a way to make it so everyone can see the event regardless of if they are in the group or not on the main calendar?

It is possible, but it isn't a feature of the modification at this point.

[ScottiG]

Will this work with vb 3.8.4? Or do you have a version that does? I have installed your RSVP system on 3.8.4 and it works well, but I am hoping to add calendar functionality to social groups AND the RSVP system, THAT would work VERY well on our forum!

Installed,

Can I get a screenshot?

Hi,

in my groups I get the Message "This group currently has no upcoming events within the next 15 days."

Where do I have to edit to change that period?

It would be nice to have it variable on a per-group basis. As we have some groups with a lot of events, there the 15 days is fine. then there are others with very few ones where I would like to increase it to 3-6 months ..

great mod so ... thx

I'd guess it's based on the number in admincp>Forums Home Page Options>Display Calendar Events

How Can I add upcoming events in the next 30 days under forum here's a picture, so the events would be posted onto a forum board and like this.

Erm, wow. Seems like exactly what I was looking for.
Tagged and can't wait to install.
