DAOC Calendars

[Alan]

Would there be any interest, or the possability of having a vB callendar for the Prydwen/Albion forum, I would be more than happy to keep this up to date as an when stickying new raids - for the last week we've had alot going on within Albion and it can be hard to figure out what is going on when, the stickied posts are taking over, people just cant stop running raids - me included - and they are starting to conflict.

Just an idea...

 

[Tractartus]

Good idea, I'll second it.

That's actually a great idea, and I am really glad I thought of it... I'll talk to Deebs at the weekend

hehe sorry - next time i wont steal your ideas and post on a public forum.

We could even not bother with stickes then - and just put links to the posts in the calender event... maybe...

Also remember in vB you can link a forum directly to a calender URL - so within the actual Albion forums there could be an "Albion Calendar" post that looks like a sub forum but actualy directs to a calender mmm starting to like this idea.

AND if we no longer need to sticky (as all events are on calendar) they wont need special mods (as in code changes) on the forums - making an upgrade of vB easier ??

You messed up your quote tags

This is an excellent idea - also, if you needed someone with sole responsibility for checking the calendar is kept up to date then I don't mind volunteering my services. Work is so boring I check up here at least once every couple of hours during the day

Lightweight I check every couple of minutes in the working day - and have the forums open on the other screen when playing.... and may as well have the sticky person do it <grins>

 

[Alan]

There is also a mod on vbulletin.org that allows people who are registered on the forums to "sign up" to calendar events, havent really looked at it - but something that could be considered at some point in the future

damn he beat me to that too

Well they have this on the prydwen.net forums and it works very well.
It could probably be expanded here, for all daoc forums thus removing the need for continual sticky-desticky.
Im not sure how you'd have it working, would people all be allowed to put events in the calendar? or would select people only?
I favour the former, however it could be open to abuse.

Definetly - if it was open to all to post event s- it would be abused, and would become VERY cramped with events.
