can you tell us what dint help. i mean that about covers everthing to do with the calender so what are you trying to do just add an event right?


click on calender in your nav bar. at the bottom of the calendar you will see add event.



click on that and then you will see the calender options at the bottom of the page.


the click on the small + icon on the right hand side to open the options and set the rest according to how you want it.



remember you will have to go and set the permissions for the forums and members you wish to allow to add events as well.

i dont have "Add Event" on the bottom of the page.

whats the forums link?
it makes no sense that you would not have this.
it could be a skin problem? are you able to create a calender event from a post? and do you a designated forum ware the events will also go?
if all of you settings are correct then the only thing i could think of this being is a skin problem?

thats the direct link to the calender, i have it activated but i dont have a button for it on my forum

or are you useing punbb or phpbb2 versions. if so place this code in the calender template.

ok ok i figured it out. but we cant fix unless you are using phpbb2 or punbb.

I am almost willing to bet you do not have this in your calender code?
I have removed that part of the code from my test site. and when doing so i get the same thing as you. no event tab seen.

Code:

 
   <!-- BEGIN switch_add_event -->
   <input type="submit" value="{L_ADD_EVENT}">
   <!-- END switch_add_event -->
   &nbsp;
 

so put this code below in you calender template and you should be good now

Code:

<!-- BEGIN _calendar_box -->
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" class="forumline">
<tr>
   <td align="center" class="catHead" colspan="{_calendar_box.SPAN_ALL}" width="100%">
      <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
      <tr>
         <td>&nbsp;</td>
         <td class="quote"><b>&nbsp;<a href="{_calendar_box.U_PREC}" class="gen">&laquo;</a>&nbsp;</b></td>
         <td width="100%" align="center">{_calendar_box.S_MONTH}{_calendar_box.S_YEAR}&nbsp;{_calendar_box.S_FORUM_LIST}&nbsp;<input type="submit" value="{_calendar_box.L_GO}" class="liteoption" /></td>
         <td class="quote"><b>&nbsp;<a href="{_calendar_box.U_NEXT}" class="gen">&raquo;</a>&nbsp;</b></td>
         <td>&nbsp;</td>
      </tr>
      </table>

Directions on how to add to your template.

Admin panel>display>templates>

scroll down to calender. click on the action tab/Lil orange gear to add you code. clear the code that's in there then past the one i provided and click save.

now scroll back down to ware you just where and you will see green+ sign that says publish. click that and your calender should now have the add event tab at the bottom of your calender page.
After that be sure all other settings for you forums and page for the calender events are set how you want them.

now please do not tell me you are not using phpbb2 or punbb. lol
if so.. then back to the drawing board. let me know which version you are using and i will have to try and test a few other possible ways to get it back.

did not work and i have phpbb2

then the only thing i can say is give me the link to the skin and I'll test it or just go with a different skin.i did about all i can do. so it has to be a corrupt skin or something?

oh make sure you went back and clicked on publish. and you did use the second code right?

Hello,

thanks Darren.
i have tested it on my forum. so that lil part of the code i have displayed above.
When that is removed the calender appears with no ADD EVENT tab at the bottom.
when i put the default code back it did.

so i cant do anything else until i know the exact skin he is using and i will test it the same way on my test forum. If it works the same way. then i will walk him through it one more time in layman terms.. if it dose not work. then i know it's the skin.

that's all i can think of doing at this point.

Unless rono or another member might have a different code to add to css?
but i want to try his skin too.

I did hit publish
how do i get the link to my skin?

Its so frustrate...
i cant manage to add events . i did what you said.
i dont have the little form icon "add event"...

i have phpbb2 also.

i need help, one on one. anyone? please pm.

thanks.

Yea if you have a solution please pm or post it here
