UOGuide now has an application which allows anyone to submit UO related events and have them appear in the calendar located on the left menu of every page.

Features

• Calendar is displayed on every UOGuide page for easily reference and advertising to every visitor
• Mouseover dates in calendar to have events for that day displayed in a popup
• Click an event date to be taken straight to more information about the day's events
• Events are colored by importance
  • Blue - General and guild events
  • Red - Official/Important events and holidays
  • Green - Event Moderator and Seer events
  • Yellow - Community and other website events
• The next 3 major upcoming events are listed below the calendar
• On the events page you can see every event posted for the current month
• Event descriptions can use wiki formatting, which means links, lists, images and everything else
• A countdown of days, hours and minutes until the event adjusted to suit your time zone (must be logged in to UOGuide and have time zone set correctly in your preferences)
• Anyone can submit an event using the event form (even non-UOGuide members), however it must be approved by an administrator before it appears in the calendar

Submitting an Event

Use the event submission form to send in an event to be listed in the calendar. A UOGuide administrator needs to approve the event before it will appear. The approval can take 1 or 2 days.

Known Issues

• Event type not being shown in event listing
• Page titles are not being displayed correctly
