The Forum Calendar

Bodston · 17-12-2007, 08:19 PM

I just got bored, as I tend to, and clicked on Calendar on the grey bar above us all.
It shows everybodys birthdays at the moment. Sweet.
The last year that you can make a new entry in is 2006. Can this be updated?
I was thinking that it would be a good place to 'flag up' upcoming WW2 related happenings. For example, Betring dates, Mons 'tanks in town', Bovington's 'Tankfest', Flying legends, et cetera.
What does the team think?

Good idea mate,
I think I've now opened it until 2015.
Is it working for you now?

I'll have a proper look at the options later this evening but it seems to now allow Single, ranged, & recurring entries to be added.

Edit: I also cut the birthdays so that if there's more than one it shows a link.
I can take the birthdays off the calendar altogether (they'll still display on the portal on the day) which would neaten it up (it's very cluttered by 'em to my eye) and perhaps make for a more useful 'what's on' page?

Bodston · 17-12-2007, 08:44 PM

Yep, that seemed to work. Beltring 2008 dates have been added. July 16th to 20th.

von Poop · 17-12-2007, 08:46 PM

Good man.
Ditch the birthdays and try and make it a more useful thing I reckon?

Seconded.

von Poop · 17-12-2007, 09:04 PM

No objections.
Done.

(I can always switch 'em back on but I'd guess nobody uses 'em at all.)

And I see we can request up to 3 day personal reminders for events on the calendar.

Haha, I like to see democracy in action.

This is a good feature, the calendar. Never knew it existed before.

"The War & Peace Show, The Hop Farm, Beltring'

Great Britain, I assume?

Aha.
Good point JT.

If anyone feels like entering an event or anniversary (& please do) remember to say what country it's in.

Cheers,
Adam.

I'm dubious about showing birthdays, internet fraud & all that.
