Looks great. Maybe some quick ideas:

- add a calendar link to navigation bar
- add an option to check show in calendar when creating new thread (based on forum permission with option to select date)
- option to automatically show threads in calendar from the specified forum

Thank you for your input:

1) By default a Calendar link is created next to the New Posts link or Recent Posts if not logged in.

2) I think you will find that most members will not add the calendar entry themselves, so typically the admin or moderator will add the calendar event.

3) This would be a nice option.

Yes, but it would be great to have an option to display as tab in navbar. Sorry for misunderstanding.

2) I think you will find that most members will not add the calendar entry themselves, so typically the admin or moderator will add the calendar event.

You're right.

3) This would be a nice option.

Thanks.

S, if you don't check off "only admin can create and delete events" does that mean that anyone can create an event? If so is it made on the fly or does it require moderation approvel?

I just installed this but doesn't all seem to work. (unless I'm doing something wrong)

I made a test post and then clicked thread tools and added the event to the calendar. It's showing there when you click calendar but when I click the link on the day, it just goes back to the index page.

Also, there is nothing showing on my index page, I have to click the calendar link to see it.

Otherwise it's looks fantastic!

Are all holidays set? Also can this show birthdays?

I get this when I try to install.



All so could you add monthly view?

UPDATED 12/24/2013

As of v1.4 the following users can add and remove events:

1) The thread starter
2) Any of the three users set in the admin control panel options

Hi Mike,

If the Admin Only is unchecked, any logged in member can add or remove calendar events. In the years I've been running this add-on on my forum, not a single time has this been an issue.

Shouldn't you make individual permissions for add and remove?

Hi Matthew,

The holidays are contained in the Holiday.php file. You can edit these as needed, although for the U.S. most are there already.

Regarding birthdays, this does not include members birthdays.

Can you add birthdays?

perfect, exactly what i been looking for

Hi bobs409,

One of the requirements of this add-on is that you use Full Friendly URLs. This is an easy thing to switch in your admin control panel.

Thank you Andy. That fixed the link problem. The only thing not working yet is the events are not showing up on my index page like your screenshot showed.

This is by far my favorite add on yet! Job well done sir!

 

[Matthew Hawley]

Thank you for the kind words, bobs409.

Regarding the Calendar Events showing up on the Forum Home page, make sure there is an event for today. The Calendar Events only show for today's events.

You should also let it show events that aren't just today.

 

[bobs409]

Doh! My mistake. That makes sense, no need showing anything without an event.

Gonna go kick the tires some more on this great add on. You made my day.

 

[Matthew Hawley]

In the thread tools menu it would be better if it was called "Add to Calendar" and "Remove from Calendar".
