Move Birthdays from stats module to Upcoming events?

[MotoUp]

How would I go about moving the birthday from the stats module to the upcoming events under the mini-calendar.

I tried taking the chunk of code from birthdays and copying to the mini-cal template, but it didn't work...

You would also need to move the chunk of code for the birthdays from the stats.php file to your minicalendar.php file.

Ahhhhhhhh, thank you very much.

Well, I tried that, and it made the Upcoming events module not even show up. Any suggestions? Can you show me which code exactly I need to pull out of stats and put into minicalendar?

$tdate = vbdate('Y-m-d', TIMENOW);
$birthdaystore = unserialize($datastore['birthdaycache']);
if (!is_array($birthdaystore) OR ($tdate != $birthdaystore['day1'] AND $tdate != $birthdaystore['day2']))
{
include_once('./includes/functions_databuild.php');
$birthdaystore = build_birthdays();
}
switch($tdate)
{
case $birthdaystore['day1']:
$birthdays = $birthdaystore['users1'];
break;

case $birthdaystore['day2'];
$birthdays = $birthdaystore['users2'];
break;
}
$birthdays = str_replace(array('member.php', ','), array($vboptions['bburl'] . '/member.php', '<br />'), $birthdays);


Make sure you place it above the call to the calendar template.

Okay, that worked. I missed the very first line, and started with $birthdaystore. Thanks.

Hey Brian, where in the world is the option to set how many days Upcoming events is displayed for? I for the life of me can't find it.

[Brian]

There is no option to display upcoming events in the CMPS, only the calendar.

[MotoUp]

Wierd, I thought I saw it somewhere. So there's no way to change how many days ahead the Upcoming Events shows for then?

[Brian]

The upcoming events isn't a default CMPS module, so you'll need to ask in the hack thread.

Set the number to how many days you want displayed.

Thanks, I knew I saw it somewhere! LOL

I would love this functionality but I can't seem to get it to work. I copied the above code into my minicalendar.php and checked all my permission but still get nothing on the frontpage. The birthday event is viewable on the main calendar page so I know it's there. Maybe I pasted the above code into the wrong spot? I placed mine in the minicalendar.php file right after:
// ### TODAY'S EVENTS #################################################
if ($vboptions['showevents'])
{
require_once('./includes/functions_calendar.php');
Is that the right spot?
