Mini Calendar

What it does:
The Mini Calendar is just what it's name says. It allows you to add a small calendar to any or all vBulletin page(s). It links back to the month, next and previous month as well as any days with an event.

Is it complicated?
Installation is easy. Just include the cal.php file on any page that you want it shown, make one new template and insert $smallcalendar at the exact place you want it shown. Look at the instructions below.

Changes:
New files (1):
cal.php

Changed files(0-1):
depending on where it should be shown

New database fields/tables(0):
none

New templates(1):
small_calendar

Changed templates(1-2):
wherever mini calendar should be shown
(phpinclude_start, if shown on all pages)

New phrases(0):
none

Instructions:

• Backup all your files as well as your database.
  For help backing up your database, look here: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/manual_database_backup
• Upload cal.php (&stc=1) to your forum home directory
• Make a new template with the name small_calendar and insert the contents of template.txt (&stc=1) into it
• Decide if you want to have your mini calendar on specific pages or on all your pages
  • If you decide to have the mini calendar on all your pages (for example in a sidebar) edit your phpinclude_start template and add
    PHP Code:

    include ("cal.php"); 

    to the end of it.
  • If you only want the mini calendar on specific pages, open the php file that makes that page and under
    PHP Code:

    require_once('./global.php'); 

    add
    PHP Code:

    include ("cal.php"); 

• edit the template that shows the area in which you want to insert your mini calendar and add $smallcalendar to the exact spot where your mini calendar should be shown.

10.08.2004: Updated cal.php to fix (hopefully) the events being on the wrong day with far out timezones.
