Edit Max Year in Calendar?
Hi there!
I run a story writing community on an Elkarte board, set in the future. Is it possible to edit the max year in the Calendar so that I can post story events for the year 2381? If the max year is edited, it would allow for my members to use it for the story progression.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Best,
Auctor Lucan
EDIT: Sorry! I realise that this should have been posted on the support board! Please feel free to move it there whenever. My bad!

You can edit the years in index.php?action=admin;area=managecalendar afaict. Or just search for "maximum year" in the admin settings.

Having the max year so far in the future may create quite a bit of pages in the calendar. Probably not a big issue but worth mention (in case crawlers start to harvest pages and pages of calendar content.

Good catch on the amount of calendar pages. Hmmm..
Is there even a way to lock the current date in the Calendar to one specific day, and then edit the minimum year to sometime in November 2380? Say...
Minimum year 2380.
Locked current date March 11 2381
Maximum year 2382
We don't use the Calendar outside the story, so there is no issue "breaking" it so that it doesn't follow the current dates. I mean to use it to visualise fictional events only.
Thank in advance for the help!

I just completely broke my test install and cannot verify directly, but in the same page where you find the "max" you should also find the "min"?

Actually, in 2.0 I moved from a min/max to a min+time-span. I'm not sure if this fits your needs or not, but probably not because I "hard-coded" the time span, so... dunno.

hmm... interesting (the min date behaviour I mean).
Regarding the rest... honestly I have to check the code.
