Calendar Topics

[Matt Saunders]

Hi there I would love to see calendar topics added to 2.3

So when people add calendar events the calendar info would be added a specific forum that you choose in the admincp


Many Thanks

Ive suggested this as a modification but no-one has one yet that i am aware of.

Would be a good idea though if it was standard. :)

So +1 :D

I have seen a mod made to do this but it has not been upgraded to 2.2 thats why i would like it built in to IPB

Can you not use the RSS feed of the calender to import into a forum?

Hi ther can you explain how to do this please ;)

If you need help with a particular feature you should use IPSBeyond or a support ticket. However, you just need to login to the ACP and manage calendars (ACP => MANAGEMENT I believe). When you edit the default calendar there should be an option to enable RSS. Then, under the management tab, choose the link that relates to importing RSS streams. You will fill out a new import with the link to the calendar's RSS feed. Then, anytime a new event is posted publicly, a new topic will be created with a link to the event as well.

I use the RSS method for a long time and it works fine (not perfect, but it does the job). Just liki Digi said: export calendar to RSS and then import the Calendar RSS feed.

When I first setup the RSS it did add the only event I had in calendar but now when I add a event it does not update.

here is a screen of my settings.

If you need help with this, please post on IPS Beyond, this isn't an IP.Board support forum. :)

[Digi]

Notice that it says it will refresh N minutes (last setting). As Micheal said, for further assistance you should use IPSBeyond or a support ticket :)

Is there away to change the 30 minutes to a smaller number say 1 minute


EDIT: I will post over at IPSBeyond
