I would like to see examples of the output generated by the Event Calendar and the Event Scheduler add-ons, in order to compare them. Can anyone point me to osC sites using these add-ons so that I can see them in action?

Thanks!

@don0don

I don't know of any sites currently using the event scheduler contribution from this website.  There are templates available that have custom event scheduler add ons installed, but not the ones from this site.

I tried to get it working, but there are still a few bugs in the updated, and supposedly fixed instructions:

7. Open: \catalog\includes\filenames.php

Add anywhere before the closing ?>):

// BOF Event Scheduler 3.0
  define('FILENAME_EVENT_SCH', 'event_sch.php');
  define('TABLE_PRODUCTS_PRICE_BREAK',
// EOF Event Scheduler 3.0

missing: ' some_text '); after BREAK...which basically broke my store until I figured this out

9. ADD the followings according to your oSc versions:

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_EVENT_SCH) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_EVENT_SCH . '</a><br />' .

FOR 2.3.1 for file catalog/includes/modules/boxes/bm_information.php (somewhere before the last item)

WRONG! The words

Quote

somewhere before the last item

  should read "somewhere specific,"  like between a specific div, or again, the store will "break"

Besides that there may be a few other issues. I could not figure what  they were. In the end I got an error message....that in hind sight I wish I would have saved. I fixed the two bugs above, and the store finally worked, however, when clicking on the events link the store went to the error message and all the info boxes disappeared as well, not good.

In hind sight, I think I should have taken someone's advice at oSmax, use Google events Calendar, and embed a wire-frame. Think I'll make my own info box just for a calender, and add a new event page of my own as well. The thought of having all this in the admin panel is nice, especially if its going to use jquery and my theme. Then again, there are benefits beyond that when using a Google calendar.

I don't mean to sound bitter, or mad, as it looks like Yan did a lot of work to get it sort close to working for 2.3.1/2. I may have kept working on it to figure out the bugs, but it did seem a little heavy for what is, and the simple mistakes left me feeling a little leary about mistakes or issues that may be well beyond my knowledge.

I found a "color-customization-for-embedded-google-calendars" by unitz that's really simple to use, and has 5 colors you can change
