Topic: Calendar Information Block displays wrong dates

[velorooms]

Hi guys.

Hoping someone can help. Having problems on our forum with the calendar dates appearing wrong.

On multi day events, the calendar information block is showing the MIDDLE date of the event as opposed to the first date.

Our forum is here
http://velorooms.com/index.php

as you will see we are a cycling forum so stage races cover anything from 2 days to 21 days, so obviously having the middle date appear as the date isnt very productive.

I have had a good search of the forum but cant seem to find an answer.

many thanks.

in the short term we have had to disable it and use an alternative calendar option.

Firstly welcome and apologizes for the extreme delay on approving your topic.

I have tried a few combinations on Calendar Information block with events spanning multiple days but couldn't reproduce this behavior. Can you provide a more concrete example giving step-by-step instructions to re-create the issue?

usaw range of more days - for example, 100 to the front, maybe this will help. This must be completed in calendar settings in the forum - how to show to the front. Max is probably 60 days.

Hi guys

have tried a number of things, and for certain calendar entries its going to the middle day.

I think it may be compounded by the sheer number of calendar events we have, it may be that smf simply doesnt like that many events.

for instance this is feb> http://velorooms.com/calendar/

For this reason extending the number of days on view isnt an option as it would very quickly be an extremely long list.

For the time being we have gone with a modified calendar suggested by someone on this forum that weve made a couple of changes to and embedded within a portal panel.

at the moment, if you go to our page http://velorooms.com/index.php and look to the very bottom of the page ive enabled the calender information block for a couple of days.
If you look at Paris Nice for example. its down on the calendar as 7th when the event actually starts on the 4th, 3 days of west flanders says the 3rd when it runs 2nd to the 4th. All have the midle date.

I see. Can you try removing this code from Sources/PortalBlocks.php file and taking a screenshot of the same block after that change?

Code: [Select]

$displayed = array();
foreach ($events as $day => $day_events)
foreach ($day_events as $event_key => $event)
if (in_array($event['id'], $displayed))
unset($events[$day][$event_key]);
else
$displayed[] = $event['id'];

attached as calendarss1

For the purposes of the thread, screenshot (calendarss2) is how it appears normally so the issue with the incorrect event start dates is clear to anyone reading this in the future

It looks like removing that little bit of code did the trick.  The information in calendarss1.PNG is correct, where it was wrong in calendarss2.PNG

I think Sinan is on to something.

See if this fixes it:

Sources/PortalBlocks.php

Code: (Find) [Select]

$displayed = array();

Code: (Replace) [Select]

ksort($events);
$displayed = array();
I think that should work, if I'm lucky enough.
