that does it! a note to others trying this, if you want to save a backup of the original upcomingevents.php, rename it to something like upcomingevents.bak and *not* upcomingevents-bak.php, having two .php files with similar code in the plug-in folder causes a conflict that breaks activecollab.

To fix the order.

FIND:

return self::findAll(array(
'conditions' => array('`completed_on` = ? AND (`due_date` >= ? AND `due_date` < ?) AND `project_id` IN (?)', EMPTY_DATETIME, $from_date, $to_date, $project_ids)
)); // findAll

REPLACE WITH:

return self::findAll(array(
'conditions' => array('`completed_on` = ? AND (`due_date` >= ? AND `due_date` < ?) AND `project_id` IN (?)', EMPTY_DATETIME, $from_date, $to_date, $project_ids),
'order' => '`due_date`'
)); // findAll

One glitch I'm seeing, don't know if you are. This week doesn't show things in chronological order.

Works great! Thanks so much for sharing Brady! This makes waiting for 1.0 that much easier.

Alright, I hired Watershed Studios (http://watershedstudio.com) to implement this for us since I don't have time, and they did a fantastic job. Brian Groce was a great support in getting this moving. He set this up to be a 30 day outlook, as well as current day/late milestones.

Download is available at:
http://dotfive.com/bf/activeCollab_Upcoming_Events_v1.0.zip

His directions:
-------------------------
"Brady,

I've attached the first version of the activeCollab Upcoming Events code.

We created this in a manner that requires minimal core changes.

Installation...

To install backup your files and FTP these three files:
init.php
application/views/dashboard/index.php
plugins/upcomingevents.php
init.php

This adds the call to the new plugin file/directory...
// Watershed's hack: get plugins
$plugins = glob(dirname(__FILE__).'/plugins/*.php');
if( is_array( $plugins ) ) {
foreach ( $plugins as $plugin ) {
if( is_file( $plugin ) )
include_once( $plugin );
}
}
// end Watershed's hack
application/views/dashboard/index.php

This adds to function call to display the additional milestones...

plugins/upcomingevents.php

This is a new file and directory and contains all of the functionality used to display the additional milestones."
-------------------------

So in theory, add the plugins folder with content, replace the other two files, and it works just fine - atleat for me!

I haven't had time, and the original poster to this thread has left it dead - but I just made it a project for our inside developer to do. I'm leaving the July 4th week, so I'm hoping to finish by next week (end of week) otherwise I'll have it when I get back. Regardless, when I get it, I'm going to ask our developer to post up a how-to as a patch walk through + files. This is actually causing us some headache because we can't project our projects a week+, and I can't wait for 1.0. We've just overlapped and used Basecamp for the time being.

Regardless, I'll post up here with the stuff and on my site!

Has anyone else found a way to do this?
