De.scription and Message

Is there an easy calendar solution out there? My main goal is to have something where users can view the calendar page, click on a date, and input event information. I don't necessarily want it tied to posts, although phpBB2 integration is a must. The current calendar was confusing enough the site's users (especially multi-day events) that they ended up just contacting the person in charge and bypassing the system.

Since the events need to be approved, they wouldn't be against a separate calendar for the users to input their event dates and then, once approved, they could be input into the calendar already integrated into IntegraMod. This would be perfectly acceptable. Again though, they'd like to bypass having to log in again by having it use the phpBB2 user table.

I thought that it'd be easy to find a calendar like this, but everything I've found so far with phpBB integration is event/post based.

Can anyone recommend any solutions?

Ive never tried to integrate it with 140/141 , but ive used it with phpbb

There were a few things that changed from the installation for phpBB2, but I think I figured it out. Unfortunately, I was doing three things at once, so now I'm not sure what I did exactly.

I know I changed the calendar's page from calendar.php to cal_calendar.php so as not to interfere with IntegraMod's calendar. Also, I pasted the language entries from its files into the main language file.

I also had to manually add the entries to the users table and group table. But I installed a copy of phpBB2 to export the tables needed for the mod itself.

From there, I think the only file I actually edited was lang_admin.

There might be a better way to do it, but not knowing how to code php led me in this direction.

You know, I had looked at that calendar before, but since the demo doesn't let guests post to it, I assumed that you had to be registered and that it could only be set up through a post.

I'm glad you recommended it as I think it's going to work perfectly. Thanks!
