Upcoming Events
Shows simple list of upcoming events from the calendar. Number of days to look ahead is set in:
Admin->Calendar->Max days in advance on board index
http://www.ezportal.com/blocks/Upcoming-Events_18.html
-
Updated:
XML allowed installation on SMF1 - block is only compatible with SMF2
-
Updated to fix bug that only showed one event per day (now shows multiple events that start on same date).
-
This is great in showing the events in the order the were added to the calendar. What needs adding to make them appear in the correct date order?
-
My questions is, I downloaded the Upcoming Events ezblock and tried to install it, I guess I am somewhat confused as to whether the download is supposed to be unzipped before installing or not.
Also, what is the proper way to install a downloaded ezblock. Every time I try to install the upcoming events ezblock I get an error "Error uploading ezBlock not found!" I get this error if I try to install from the zip file and/or after unzipping the file.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Larry

They ARE in the correct order already (start date ascending). Post a link to your site so I can check it out.

Nope - upload the Zip

The "file not found" error could be caused by the server temp directory not having write permissions or not being set up properly (your web site control panel will probably have PHP info available - look for the TEMP directory in the Environment section).
Are you having problems uploading ANY ezblock or just this one?

UPDATE:
Faster
Displays events on two lines
Will display a reminder menu for each event if the calendar event reminder mod (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2860) is installed.

Tried downloading this, but it was corrupt.

File downloads OK AFAIK - was it the zip that was corrupt or the XML?

Ive tried all these file but whenever I want to install the block I get this error:
Missing ezBlock header block-info. Unable to process file
Why am I getting this?

I tried to install this mod as it sounds like its exactly what I'm looking for, it al appears to install correctly, but when I go to use the block and select "Add ezblock" all I get is a 403 error:
You don't have permission to access /smf/index.php on this server.
I'm using SMF v2.0.9 and EZPortal v2.6
So either the block isn't compatible with later versions of SMF or EZPortal, or there is some error with my host?
Any help would be appreciated

A 403 error would generally be an issue with mod_security ask your host to disable it for your site.

Thanks that is now sorted...
It would be nice if the mod could also be used to display upcoming birthdays and other events rather than just the "Event" that is added to the calendar. Would it be possible to modify it so that could be done? Preferably so that it was selectable by the Admin.

I was thinking the SMF system Calendar does that! and displays it in the info area round frame.

That's true Maxx, but I cannot see a way to display the calendar without clicking on "Calendar" from the menu...
The mod does away with the need to do that!
Unless someone knows of a way to display the normal SMF calendar at the top of the page WITHOUT having to click on it first?

I do not use the SMf calendar much, but I remember it desplay upcoming birthdays in the info center at the bottom amd Holidays as well, but things keep changing I'll to dig deeper in this, we can not ask too much of the block display for lake of room there, mainly in the width of the block, how ever maybe Ez can fit something at the top or bottom of the block???

I've just found a MAJOR problem with this mod :(
If there is more than one event on a particular day, it only lists the first one, any others are just ignored and do not display :'(
Anyone know how to fix this?
Regards

I'm having the same "sort" problem with upcoming events as posted waaaaay earlier...
they get shown in the order that I posted them and not in "date" order.
thx for any help
