[Done 1.4.1 & 1.5.x] Force Calendar Post into Default Board 1.2

[Coyote]

Hi Jack,

I just upgraded to 1.51 and tried out the 'force calendar' pacakage.

It installed fine, with no problems.... just when I try and post no topic, it errors says 'You are not allowed to access this section'

Any ideas?

not yet... I have not had a chance to run all my mods through 1.5.1 Final.

uh... as I said... I've not had a chance to update the mods for 1.5.1 final.  I don't even have a final board installed yet to test them on.  Also, as explained on my package server, if you are trying to use my YabbPaks, you'll need to first install my "Package Uninstall File" which will likely take care of the problem you are seeing now.  But again, this mod is not yet supported for 1.5.1 final.

Maybe I am just missing it, but is there a way to remove a calender entry that did not have a posted topic attached to it.  If not, there should be.  

Just a thought...

[Jack.R.Abbit]

same way you can remove a calendar entry that has a post attached to it.  In the calendar you click the  * to edit the entry at which time you can shose to delete it.  That is standard calendar functionality... I didn't change that.

J.R.A.,

Not long after installing this mod (which initially worked fine), something went bizarro and it stopped working.   I had to delete a couple of file from the packages directory and reinstall it, which worked.

This brought the mod back to working condition, redisplayed all previous "post no topic" entries, but oddly added another "Force Post into Default Board" option at the bottom of my "Installed Mods" page -- in other words, there are now two of this option!

So my question is, which file can I hack to get rid of the renegade option. I don't need two of them! lol!

Thanks in advance...

[Jack.R.Abbit]

very strange indeed.

open up ModSettings.php and search for the:

Code Select Expand

<input type="checkbox" name="cal_ForceDefaultBoard" ' . $cal_ForceDefaultBoard . ' />  if you say you have two checkboxes for this option, then you should find two of these strings and they should be found in some code similar to:

Code Select Expand

                     </tr><tr>
                        <td class="windowbg2" bgcolor="' . $color['windowbg2'] . '"></td>
                        <td class="windowbg2" bgcolor="' . $color['windowbg2'] . '"><font size="2">' . $txt['calforceboard1'] . '</font></td>
                        <td class="windowbg2" bgcolor="' . $color['windowbg2'] . '"><input type="checkbox" name="cal_ForceDefaultBoard" ' . $cal_ForceDefaultBoard . ' /></td>
of which you will have two of as well.  Delete one of those chunks of code.  Take care to delete the proper stuff from the proper place.  If you are unsure, take a few minutes to study how those lines of code resemble others around it and it should become clear how this whole puzzle fits together.  You are wanting to delete one "row" from mod settings page.

Good luck.  If you run into issues still, let me know.

Jack,

Got it!  

I removed both duplicate entries and tested it fine. Hopefully it won't pose any future problems -- and hopefully I won't have to reinstall it again. Not sure what broke it the first time, but I must have inadvertantly overwritten a file.  

Thanks AGAIN for your help!
