A nice integrated calendar: someone develop it!

edited May 2007 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
I'd be willing to throw some dollars at someone to develop something that did the following: - displayed a weekly calendar at the top of the main discussions page with events listed by titles on their appropriate days - allowed someone to post a discussion as an event - e.g. - you can add a date to a discussion that will simply mark it on the calendar - made it integrate nicely and easy to install. I'd do it myself but I'm a phptard. So yeah, figure out what you want for it, set up a Dropcash campaign and let's do this thing. I've been waiting to switch off phpBB for years now and can't until this extension is written :(

    And I know there's the Google Calendar extension but I want something that is seamlessly integrated and mad easy to use.

    your icon is hilarious. i am phptard as well, but I wish I wasn't. Then I would be a lot cooler on this board

    A friend (that is one of the best PHP developers I know) has offered to give it a shot! Here's the dev URL: http://www.northparkcreative.com/vanilla_dev/ He asked that I include the following caveats: - It is a DEV site meaning things will be broken - The calendar isn't hooked up to the database or topics right now, it is just dummy info What a great start though. I'm going to throw him some bucks when it is finished - whisper me if you want his Paypal address to make a contribution.

    I'll throw him some cash aslo. I'll get the details in a moment, but, how long do you think until it is all done?

    I was wondering if it would be possible to integrate what he has with the sidepanel calendar... It would be cool to have both. http://lussumo.com/addons/index.php?PostBackAction=AddOn&AddOnID=127

    Hey guys. I'd be happy to integrate a small side calendar after I finish the rest of the functionality. The main problem right now is going through all of this documentation to grasp the best methods of setting everything up. Currently I am trying to connect the new additions to the "New Discussion" form to save the event data in a new table. The aesthetics are pretty much complete for the calendar and form. I'll keep everyone posted!

    Hey Guys, Thought you should know that it pretty much works now on the demo forum. The code is messy (not using their built in class/control options for SQL queries and such), but it runs! Lots to do but the bulk is rocking out.

    You are a fucking rock star!

    The DCalendar extension is just a javascript to compute the current day and display it in the current month's calendar. I suppose you could post-process the javascript result, but it looks like this integrated calendar already has it down pat. :)

    I cant wait to see this finished, I could deffinately use this! You rock.

    Dont forget linkable dates and events with SEO friendly URLs. Also the calendar should be accesible for reference when posting new messages.
  • nicholasokuleynicholasokuley
    prince_of_oreon, great idea on being able to reference the calendar in messages. I'll look into throwing that in the mix. So far there are still bugs, but it is looking sweet! I will try to setup an official page for the extension so you can all see progress/bug fixes/donation/download/etcetera sometime soon. Thanks for the support so far!
  • Markle SparkleMarkle Sparkle
    I'm using it now! Aside from a few little bugs, it is AWESOME!
  • RainbowRainbow
    It needs a little css and javascript make up :)
  • nathannathan
    Any update on the progress of this? I would really like to use it. Maybe a Beta release or something.
  • bugsmi0bugsmi0
    seems to me having just a plain calendar with no events is boring and serves no purpose, what good is a calendar unless its displaying some events, everyone knows what the date is already. A calendar event system is the way to go
  • nathannathan
    That is basically what that is. There are the dates, yes, but the events are all expired. Have a look at previous weeks.
  • bugsmi0bugsmi0
    I see now that is cool, SMF calendar is made as a menu to a page so you click on it and it displays the full calendar with events, could do the same with Vanilla, make it a tab
  • nicholasokuleynicholasokuley
    It's coming along nicely ladies and gents. I expect to setup a beta site for it in the coming week or so -- still flushing out a few tweaks. Markle Sparkle is my first official beta-tester and so far things seem to be a-o-k! Lots of improvements and enhancements to make, but she's almost ready for an initial test period. I'll post here when it's up and available!
