I seem to be having an issue with one of my sites using this code.   I have a block to show upcoming events:

www.usscalemasters.org/forums
SMF 1.1.9
TP 1.0 B4
Modified Blueskies theme

Code Select Expand


$result = ssi_todaysEvents('array');
if (!empty($result))
{
   foreach ($result as $event)
      echo '<center><a href="' . $event['href'] . '">' . $event['date'] . ' : ' . $event['title'] . '</a></center>';
}
else
      echo 'There are currently no events in the next 30 days.<br>';


After a period of time, not accessing the site, say over night... The front page will display there are not upcoming events in the next 30 days. Yet there are.  If you go to the Calendar, click on the month of June, where the next events are, then go back to the front page, they are now displayed.  I have had others test this and it has the same behavior.  But one anyone checks the calendar directly, then everyone can see the upcoming events on the main page...  FYI - both the upcoming events block and the Calendar block will not show anything....

No errors in the logs I can find.

Any help would be appreciated.

I guess I stumped the panel...    Or should I start a new thread? I still have not found any answer to this.  --Mitch

Since its using only SSI pulled from SMF. There doesn't seem to be any way for us to control your issue. The code posted doesn't do any alteration of the code. It just outputs what the SSI function does. You should probably ask someone at SMF why that function is behaving that way.

Ok, thanks.. it is really strange..  I am going to go through my SMF settings again just to see of maybe it's a server cache issue. It sure acts like it... --Mitch

Just checked and no caching is enabled on the server...  Will query SMF help and report back what I find.. -- Mitch

Well I have posts in SMF forums and a ticket open, but still no luck.  One interesting thing I noticed today, since we rolled into June, all the events for June are now showing up, but nothing after June... --Mitch

Seems it was a mod messing things up.  Repeating Events for Calendar http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=655 was causing the problem.  I removed that mod and all seems to be working.  I kinda miss what it did, but you can still span events over multiple days. It's ability to have events repeat every month, or year or X number of days was nice...

rjackson,

In what way does it not work?

I tried the code on my test site using SMF 1.1.10 and TP 1.0 beta 4 and it works fine.  You need to make sure that you have events posted for the next 30 days or it won't show them.  Even if there aren't any events, the block will state that.  There isn't much more we can do to help you without having the information that is requested at the bottom of the posting guidelines.  So, if you require additional help on this, Please Read and Follow the Posting Guidelines.
