(Applies to: Versions 2.0 and newer of FusionBB)
The calendar is an important part of the FusionBB messageboard software.
The calendar has two views: Public Events and Public Birthdays. The 'Public Events' view allows your administrator to show important events that the site membership might be interested in. The Public Birthdays view shows the birthdays of those members who have chosen to share their birthdate.
- This is an option you can check or uncheck. To change your choice, go to:
My Fusion >> Control Panel >> Public Profile
Just below the drop-down menus where you put in your birthdate is a Share Your Birthday check box. Checking this box will share your birthday with the general site membership and will add your birthdate to the calendar on the appropriate day. Unchecking this box will not share your birthdate, even if you have added the information into the drop-down boxes.
- For more information about either the Calendar itself or the Forum With a Calendar, please check out the following FusionBB Wiki topics:
Please note: Only those persons who have the correct permissions will be able to add events to the calendar (outside of the user ability to check the box to share their birthday). The above topics are written with those people in mind, but also give information that will help the regular user understand the Calendar feature better.
