Community Add-Ons

**FULL PACKAGE** from 18 Aug 2010

1. Added Spanish language files.
2. Added the <tr> and <td> tags to lines 47-48 and lines 107-108 in catalog/event_sch.php to prevent the calendar text from appearing above the HEADING_TITLE.
3. Added a cleaned up HTML version of the install instructions.

In catalog/admin/event_sch.php around line 233, I was unable to correct the language icon from showing at the bottom left of the EVENT DESCRIPTION text_area_box. Even though valign="top" is present in the <td> tag the language icon persists in maintaining it's awkward position.

The "Event Date" only shows in English. My workaround was to change three instances of "tep_date_long" to "tep_date_short" in catalog/event_sch.php so that it only displayed a numerical date which is universal.

I had nothing to do with the development of this script. I made some very tiny changes (listed above) and tried to make the instructions easier for the next person installing this wonderful script. That's it.

When I updated this for multi-language capability I forgot to add the needed code to the admin/languages.php file to account for languages being added or deleted. A new instruction #11 was added to the install readme file to handle this process. The following instructions were renumbered accordingly and marked as optional.

The idea was great but the execution of it needed tweaking.

Original Features include:
* A beginning calendar date for a specific event.
* An ending calendar date for a specific event.
* Events are ordered by the beginning date.
* The ability to attach a website to a specific event, if
said event has a web presence.

Version 2.0 adds:
* Now multi-language capable instead of English only.
* If no events are scheduled the catalog page will give a "No Events Scheduled" message instead of a blank page.
* Basic error checking during event entry.
* Events that have passed are now turned off any time someone accesses the catalog side event schedule.
* Events that begin and end on the same day now only display one date.
* Events with a web site now have the web site displayed and the entire event listing serves as a link to that site.
* Web sites entered without the http:// have that added to them automatically.
* Moved the events dates from table event_sch_description to event_sch where they belong and changed them from type DATETIME to DATE since the time wasn't used.
* Added a Happening Today box to the top of catalog/index.php (and any other page you wish to add it to) showing the names of any events that are occurring today. No box is shown if there are no events occurring today. Clicking on the box goes to the events schedule page so the customer can read the details of the events.

This contribution allows the ability to add, delete, and modify upcoming events for the vendor, like shows or conventions.
