MyBB Hacks - events system

rateu,

can you whip up an events system with xthreads?

I posted this a while ago on mybb's forum, but no1 really picked it up and this is something that's lacking in mybb.

*this is directly copied from my post on mybb*
I've posted this before in the mybb suggestions, but I'll post it here to see if this can be made into a plugin.

this is something that is useful in vbulletin.

you'd set up a section specifically for events..when someone makes a post in that section, it automatically adds it to the calendar and adds an events section in the footer area of the forum:

Whoa, looks like this is calendar week - I am hobbling along on a similar request over in the modifications forum.

Meanwhile, I think that this is a full scale plug in you are looking for rather than an Xthread - its the automatic posting of the event to the calendar that will be the hard part I think.

ah..I didn't see your thread.

No problem Shemo - I like your approach with the Xthreads idea and I think that actually making that great big dinosaur of a useless calendar do something would be a big bonus for MYBB.

after looking at your thread, it doesn't actually seem like it fully does what I'm trying to do.

No, not fully, but we are both looking at the same thing - modifying the calendar, specifically the events system.
