Calendar Hook Lenght
Submitted svit, Apr 13 2012 01:01 AM | Last updated Apr 13 2012 01:01 AM
Hello I consider this to be a bug.
I believe there should be an event count limit (e.g. 5 events) in the calendar hook so that the hook doesnt look 1km long. It isn't practical to have it cut by a time range only. I believe all of us need to have the hook not to break the look of the board index - for example if there are 5 events scheduled for a week that will happen in 9 months.. then to have them shown I have to set the time range 9 months, doing so.. if someone submits 10 events which happen in 1 month the calendar hook becomes 14 events long.. simply..by the current system we have no control over the length of the hook.
Marcher has helped me with a patch for the previous IPB but in 3.3.1 it doesnt seem to work and I think it should be incorporated in the official package.

I have received no help from the support team stating that they would have to change the code for me.
