So, you’ve got a Corporation that’s supported by the SMF forum. Your guys love the forum; in there all the time, but they keep missing those mandatory company events. Too busy loling at your latest lolcat videos on the forum I bet?

Well, don’t worry, help is here. Using the Eve Events to SMF Import Mod, SMF will each hour go and grab any events from up to 5 different Eve characters and import them into your SMF calendar and create a corresponding topic. It will even pick up those CCP events which you never tend to notice! (Although you can turn that off if you want…)

Your lackeys will never be able to whine about being too busy to check the Eve Calendar now!

Any chance you could get a link up for the download on your site until SMG approves it for listing? I am interested in trying this out.

Yeh, that's randomly started appearing the other day! It's from Google Ads. I'm going to kill it today. Cry

Zaine very kindly sent me the like to get it setup on my corp forum.
I had a teething problem quickly sorted, I had to run the hourly update manually once to get it going.

It now works perfectly

cheers Big smile

Haven't heard any updates on this, so hopefully someone is still watching this as I'm having an issue...

Did a forum update a while back, and lost this in the process. trying to re-install and getting this error:

Quote:
Duplicate entry 'import_eve_events' for key 'task'
File: /home/username/public_html/Packages/temp/eve-event-importer-0.2/install.php
Line: 149


No idea where to go with this one What?

Do you have db access? That version of the plugin leaves some stuff in the DB it shouldn't do. I've fixed it in the next release which should be out soon.

What you need to do is hop into your db and run the following SQL

DELETE FROM (forumdb).(smfprefix)_scheduled_tasks WHERE (smfprefix)_scheduled_tasks.task = "eve_scheduled_events"

You need to replace (forumdb) with the name of your database for the forum and (smfprefix) with the prefix you used for the database. E.g, mine is currently:

DELETE FROM smf.smf_scheduled_tasks WHERE smf_scheduled_tasks.task = "eve_scheduled_events"

This removes the left over data.

gah. This is what you need to run.

DELETE FROM (forumdb).(smfprefix)_scheduled_tasks WHERE (smfprefix)_scheduled_tasks.task = "import_eve_events"

example:

DELETE FROM smf.smf_scheduled_tasks WHERE smf_scheduled_tasks.task = "import_eve_events"

Just submitted a new version of the plugin to the SMF approval team containing the upgrade to the new API. Cross fingers that it will be available soon....

Just installed this with no obvious problems. Looks most useful, thanks :)

Is this likely to be re-worked to work with the new api system at all?

The reworking for new API key is done. I'm just waiting on the approval from the SMF mods team before putting it out as they keep knocking it back with lots of little tweaks and I don't want those fixes to conflict with peoples installs too much :/
