lwtCalendar suggestion

Just wanted to pass this on to to others. If you want your calendar to open up on the next event here is a quick function to do so.

php Code:

Original - php Code

// Quick util function  
function get_next_event() {
        
        global $ltw_config;
        $db = new ltw_db;
        $calendar_table = $ltw_config['db_table_calendar'];  
        
        $query = "SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(event_date) as stamp FROM $calendar_table WHERE event_date > (DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL "1" DAY)) order by event_date LIMIT 1";
        $result = $db->db_query($query);
        $row = $db->db_fetch_array($result);
                
        return($row['stamp']);
                
} //end get_next_event()

Then near the very bottom of calendar.php under the default switch change $timestamp=time(); to $timestamp=get_next_event();

This could quickly be added as a config in lwtconfig. Just use an if-else statement.

To the author.... Just wanted to say thanks for putting the code out there. Very nice and clean. I need to make some modifications for my needs, but I really do appreciate the great lead you gave me.

RE: lwtCalendar suggestion

Just realized... that if you have no events coming up you would probably be sent to 1970,

So revised function is

php Code:

Original - php Code

 
 
// Quick util function  
function get_next_event() {
        
        global $ltw_config;
        
        $db = new ltw_db;
        $calendar_table = $ltw_config['db_table_calendar'];  
        
        $query = "SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(event_date) as stamp FROM $calendar_table WHERE event_date > (DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL "1" DAY)) order by event_date LIMIT 1";
        $result = $db->db_query($query);
        $row = $db->db_fetch_array($result);
 
        if($db->db_numrows($result) == 0) {
            $stamp = time();
        } else {
            $stamp = $row['stamp'];
        }
    
        return($stamp);
                
} //end get_next_event()
