Calendar Event Alerts Plugin

[Teg]

I think an "ok button is fine" As only certain users or groups will have access to calendar events any how

If you can get a bubble notification, have it direct the user to the calendar date/event (if that's possible) on the calendar itself.

Well ®i©hie & Teg

I was thinking of a confirmation but changing it slightly ..

Rename "No" to Dismiss or Snooze which then prompts the notification to appear again say within an hour or something

OK, I've gotten the bubble added, now as far as what's in the bubble i don't know about having a number, like if you have several events in 1 day, so maybe have the bubble say "New" or something

as i said before i can have it go to the events link/thread but that would have to be manually entered into the plugin settings.

  Hi ®i©hie

  "New" would be fine

   What do you mean by manually entered ?

the id of the event's thread for eg.

iybtest.proboards.com/thread/243/

"243" would be entered into the plugin settings for that event.

   Ahh okies .. Was hoping that would be automated with a click of a button

   Could still come in handy though

   And it would be even longer if we waited for someone else to pop in and volunteer lol 

   Just happy someone is filling it

Oh wait... I didn't know we were doing threads. I thought we were just creating events in the calendar itself. At least that's what I meant.

My vision for this plugin was ...

When creating a new thread or a new item in the calendar there is a button or a drop down action where you could select create calendar event.

This would then generate a pop up of some sort where you could specify which individuals or groups to notify along with the time and date.

When that time and date arrives a pop up would display on the users screen saying there is a new alert press ok to view or dismiss to remind you again in a set time wether that be 30 mins or an hour up to 6 / 12 hours.

HOW does that work with what we were trying to do? 

Initially, the alert would would notify a specific or specific members to an event in the calendar (which had nothing to do with a thread or post) to remind us that a user's purchase item was expiring so we could remove it from their account. Or, from the forum in general. 

So I ask ®i©hie if he could make two plugins one doing what I'm specifying above or incorporate that to be an option as what I thought was originally the request.

Because it contains the ability to do both Teg.

O.o so it's not required to be used for "threads?" Cause I wasn't planning that! LOL
    

[Former Member]

Lol for PF its not ..but if needs must in the future at least the functionality to do so is there.

I also plan to use this plugin for my own forum but both sides of the requested functionality.

When you create a calendar event it's created as a thread, try it on your forum.

that would not be possible to code, unfortunately.

what i can do is make the going to the event thread an option so you don't have to use that field and simply leave it blank if that'd be satisfactory?

when i'm done with the plugin i'll post it for you both to test and you can lmk if you want any changes or options added?
