SMF Calendar and Subforums

[Bushranger]

Is it possible to set up SMF with calendars specific to target boards? I've seen that SMF has a calendar which is usually accessed from the main menu for the entire forum, and there are also mods for SMF calendars, but I don't know if there are any that can be used like this:

The calendar is accessed by clicking on the main menu calendar button as usual but you only see events if you are subscribed to the target board where the even thread has been created. If you are subscribed to the Kadius board you can create an event linked to a thread on the Kadius board about it and everyone else from the Kadius board can see it on the calendar and follow the link, others not on that board can't see it.

Does anyone know of such a mod?

I ask because I think it would be great if you could click on the calendar and quickly see the date/time and have a link to upcoming events for the clans you are subscribed to, especially for staff so they can look at the calendar and see it all laid out for all their clans without the need to flip back and forth between clan boards to sort it all out.

I was thinking about this as well. It would be good for a lot of clans, rather than a post every time there is an RPT, and then you forget because its not "new" the day of, or the thread gets cluttered with chat while the time shifts around to accommodate other playtimes.

The permissions would be a tough thing to do, and might require more work staff-side to set it up so that only Leaders can post or modify or something, but does anyone else think it would be easier?

If there's no mod, what about a Google calendar or something similar?

[Bushranger]

I don't think permissions would need to be restricted to leaders. Even minions can organize their own mini-RPT events and post it as a thread on the board now so why not allow them to add this to the calender too?

Awesome idea.

hah, screw mods. I just made one using the table code a few days ago. It's easy to change and update.

Two ways to manage it:
1. If a leader wants tight control, he can make a post, edit as things change, and comment when it's up to date.

2. If multiple people need to manage, just make a post with it, and then when it needs to change quote the previous post, and add in the changes.


Example:

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
28 Cool event Where stuff happens. 9:30pm.	29	30 Another Great Event 9:40pm	1 Fun Times At this event 11am	2	3	4 Sunday Funday Margaritas 2pm
5	6	7	8	9	10	11 Sunday Funday Margaritas 2pm
12	13	14	15	16	17	18 Sunday Funday Margaritas 2pm
19	20	21	22	23	24	25
26	27	28	29	30	31	1

In case my beautiful spacing gets wiped out, here's what the code looks like:
