Which calendar to use with em

[n2oz29]

Hi everyone . Im new here . Seem like you guys are really nice from the post i have been reading. You help alot of people that on other boards would be turned away .

I have a quick question . I want to install a calendar with EasyMOD v0.3.0 on my server which is phpBB 2.0.21

The only mods I already have installed are:

Latest active topics on index 1.1.9

View posts since last visit Number 1.1.1

So my question is what calendar would be the best way to go as far as using Easymod to install it ?

Thanks in advance for your time .

I used to suggest the Topic Calendar. But the new version seems to be causing a lot of people a lot of strange problems. I think the older version was more stable and the MOD author made some mistakes when he updated it...

You might want to try the SnailSource Calendar. I haven't heard of anyone having trouble with it yet...

Thanks for the reply. I tried to get the Snailsource but you have to pay for it . Would you happen to have a link to an old version of the topic calendar or let me know what the old version was . Maybe I could find it somewhere . I just need a basic calendar that members can post events on .

You don't need to pay for the Cal_lite version over at SnailForce. I have no idea how much more is available in the paid version, but the lite version is pretty decent...

If you still want the older version of the Topic Calendar, I have uploaded it to my server for you:

topic_calendar-101.zip

You may also want to install these TC Add-ons...

• RepeatTopicV4.zip
• NewEventButton.zip

Wow .. Your pretty quick This version will install with easy mod ? And the even buttons and repeat topic too ?

Yes, it will install with EM but you will want to place each MOD part in a separate folder before uploading to your admin/mods folder. You will probably only need to install parts 1-3...

If you encounter any conflicts between the MOD scripts and your phpBB code, post your errors here and I can help you through them...

Because the phpBB development team, for whatever reason, decided to change the spacing on this line, you will see this error in a lot of older MODs now...

Ok, try this:

OPEN

If you don't understand why my suggestion above will work, please ask. Once you understand the basics of how to get these MODs to install cleanly, you should be able to install even the most difficult MODs using EM...
