MyBB calendar limited to 4yrs with 'jump' and 6yrs with 'month>>' ?

[akm]

.
When try to 'jump' to month, the years do not go beyond 2018, ie 4yrs out ?
When use 'month>>' buttons, will only get to Jan 2020.
How to change 'jump' and/or extent of calendar 'month>> button, to maybe 50yrs out ?
In one particular case, need to set reminder date (even though the 'Calendar' will not send a reminder ) for 12/16/2020.
Couldnt find any posts with MyBB forums 'search', but may have missed something ?
Thoughts on how/where, if possible, to change code, etc ?

Look for this line in calendar.php

// Construct option list for years
	for($i = my_date('Y'); $i < (my_date('Y') + 5); ++$i)
	

Change 5 to a higher number. It will go that many years in advance - 1. Note that this code appears multiple times in the file so you may want to use search & replace if you can.

Thank you for the direction.
Seemed to work fine after dbl checked all locations of...

(my_date('Y') + 5)

...and changed to...

(my_date('Y') + 50)

But, even though the 'jump' showed the additional years, when clicked on 2020 (then 'Go'), the calendar didnt change to that year, it stayed on 2014.
Thoughts ?

Locate this line in calendar.php

// Incoming year?
	if($mybb->input['year'] && $mybb->input['year'] <= my_date("Y")+5)

Change 5 to a higher value. It is in the file a couple times. What I did to quickly find that was a search for if($mybb->input['year']

Thanks much, that did it, found a couple more lines of code with that tip !
With that said, when went to the calendar to post a reminder (to renew a non-profit domain registration), in 2020 on 12/16, it came back with...

Please correct the following errors before continuing:
Events can only be created in the next 5 years. Please select a reasonable start year from the list.

...and of course the list showed thru 2063.
Dbl checked calendar.php and the only other 5s could find were '5_years' repeat things.
Similar results with template calendar_addevent.
Thoughts ?

Open /inc/datahandlers/event.php.

Find:

if($event['start_date']['year'] > date("Y") + 5)
And Also find this:
if($event['end_date']['year'] > date("Y") + 5)

Change the 5 to a higher number. Hopefully that solves the issue.

Think that did it !!!

As a followup...
Trying to determine how to get from calendar.php to event.php, ie for php 'training'
Looking at calendar.php...

require_once "./global.php";
require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/functions_calendar.php";
require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/functions_post.php";
require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/class_parser.php";

...couldnt find any ref to event.php.
Also took a look at the above files and couldnt find any event.php ref.
Where should I be looking ?

Open /inc/datahandlers/event.php.
Find:

if($event['start_date']['year'] > date("Y") + 5)
And Also find this:
if($event['end_date']['year'] > date("Y") + 5)

Change the 5 to a higher number. Hopefully that solves the issue.

Always follow code from the top. It is about 5% of the way down in calendar.php.

Got it !

// Set up event handler.
	require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/datahandler.php";
	require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/datahandlers/event.php";

Thanks much !
Class dismissed
Take care !
