Sorry for writing this in English, I don't speak German very well.

I was looking for a mod exactly like this for weeks, but finally I found it... Thanks, Oxpus!

I installed it and everything works fine except one thing: the date format in the portal page box is always in a dd.mm.yyyy format and no matter what I do I cannot change it from ACP. This is strange because it's not even the default date format I use on the whole site. May you have a suggestion how I could fix it?

Cheers,
ddt

Yes you can:

In portal.php find

Code:

$start_date = substr($row['stamp'],8,2).".".substr($row['stamp'],5,2).".".substr($row['stamp'],0,4);
$end_date = substr($row['eventspan'],8,2).".".substr($row['eventspan'],5,2).".".substr($row['eventspan'],0,4);

and replace with

Code:

$start_date = mydateformat($row['stamp'], $userdata['user_dateformat']);
$end_date = mydateformat($row['eventspan'], $userdata['user_dateformat'], 1);

Make sure the function "mydateformat" will be contended on functions.php. This will be done while installing the calendar.

This will format the dates based on the user settings. To format them like the board settings, replace
$userdata['user_dateformat']
with
$board_config['default_dateformat']

Sorry for my bad english Wink

Thanks for the quick reply!

I made the changes, but got parse error. If I'm right, the problem must be with "mydateformat", as you mentioned here:

Quote:

"Make sure the function "mydateformat" will be contended on functions.php. This will be done while installing the calendar.

Would you please explain this sentence a bit more? I checked it, but there's no "mydateformat" defined in my fuctions.php. (My board is phpBB Plus 1.2, the calendar was preinstalled). But of course there is $board_config['default_dateformat'], and I think this is all I need, as I don't want this date to be configurable by users. Also, I don't need the "end_date", as the events on my board are almost exclusively football matches.

Sorry for making this so hard... Smile

Okay, error myselfs. The needed funktion is in the calendar.php itself, not in functions.php.
So check for

Code:

or insert this code in the functions.php and delete it from the calendar.php. This will format the event dates correctly.

And please use my code like it is. The variables $start_date and $end_date defines correctly the dates of the events. Like their names will be an "singleday" event sets $start_date = $end_date, on "multiday" events the $start_date will content the first day of the event and the last event day is sets in $end_date.

And nothing is hard enough to find a solution Wink

Yapp, now it works perfectly for the 2nd try, but only if I clear the above mentioned code from calendar.php, and paste it into functions.php. Thank you. Very Happy

One last thing:
The events' date in the portal box is now in the needed format, everything is fine, but the language (aka name of days and months) remains english though the default language for the site is hungarian. Everywhere else on the site the date language is working well. What do you think?

I think the dateformat on the calendar-config will be set... Please check this in the ACP and clear the refered field.
Also check the default format for the board date.
At least you can change on the function mydateformat

Code:

if ($cal_config['cal_dateformat']) {
$dateformat = $cal_config['cal_dateformat'];
}

into

Code:

$dateformat = $board_config['default_dateformat'];

I have a question with this mod, and I have posted the question in the following post:

Thanks.

Hallo Leute ,

mich würde zunächstmal eine DEMO interessieren. Damit kann ich erstmal beurteilen , ob das Teil was für mich wäre. Das nächste wäre zu sagen unter welchen Versionen der Hack läuft. Ich benutze phpBB2 plus1.3

Mit freundlichen Grüssen
Nexxo

Das läuft nicht unter plus 1.3, da hier ein anderer Kalender installiert ist.

I dont suppose you could work on an ezportal addon that would work with topic calendar by Ptirhiik?
