Oh man. I love this addon!

I had been using Farcaster's event attendance 1.2.0, but after installing this mod, was unable to see the event title in the calendar, nor was I able to respond to the rsvp function in Farcaster's event attendance hack. Well, then I found Farcaster's Event Attendance & vB Event Forums Integration addon:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=133970

Now everything works like a charm! I can post events from my calendar, and it takes me to the events forum. Or I can post a New Event from within my forum and it automatically adds the info to the calendar. I can also RSVP so that an event attendance roster is created! AWESOME! It all works like a charm. Thank you!

This SAME issue kept me confused for some-time as well.:confused: I had three different event forums linked to just one calendar and the exact same thing was occuring to me. Whether I posted a New Event in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Event Forum it ALWAYS landed in the 1st Event Forum. :mad:

In my case I could figure no way to 'fix' it, so I finally opted instead to have ONE Event forum linked to just ONE calendar and rearrange my forum topics a bit.

In a future release though, it would be :Dnice:D if there was a way to have several forums linked to just one calendar, but when an event was posted it (correctly) went into the forum it was intended for.(vs. auto-defaulting into the first forum that was created)

Some users had complained about the insane number of queries this adds to showthread. I had mentioned that I developed a fix for this, but still haven't posted it. If anyone still needs to get their queries back to normal, let me know.

You will first need the hack I just released (sorry but it needs file edits if you don't want ANY extra queries): CES Pre-Process Hooks. I also made a few database changes to make some of the plugin code a little simpler. I will try to remember what they were. Will post the fix tomorrow.

thincom2000,
Sounds interesting. Not sure if the author has anyway around this to fix the extra queries call issues.

Let us know how it goes.

I still have not upgraded to 3.6.5 since I wait for the next release where they have several very nice features.

Anybody know a way to get the Thread Prefixes hack working with this one? I'd really like to be able to choose a prefix when creating a new event. Currently, you need to create an event, and then edit the thread it creates to add the prefix. :(

Since I upgraded to 3.6.5 it doesn't save the right userid when posting a new event. Sorry guys but until I figure this out I won't be releasing my addon for this as it hasn't been tested on a working Event Forum.

If anyone knows how to fix Event Forums so it saves the userid and username to the database (looked and those fields in the tables thread and post are empty), let me know. I reinstalled the product 3 times to no avail and tried also tried tweaking eventdata_presave but that had no effect.

EDIT: Looks like when upgrading to vBulletin 3.6.5, I accidentally added another user to my database in the AdminCP by "Add New User." With all blank fields. Somehow this only affected the Event Forums by making everyone's user info change to the blank user's when posting a new event thread.

I've just installed this. I had an event which I edited to tick the RSVP allowed option (another plugin) but when I pressed save I got...

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /vbb/includes/class_dm_event.php(569) : eval()'d code on line 41

When going back into the events forum or calendar the edited event is now gone. :(

I disabled the other plugin and it still happened, I then disabled this plugin and re-enabled the other one and the problem went away.

I think you need to install Farcaster's Event Attendance & Event Forums Integration Add-on to fix that.

AH OK I didn't install the integration add-on as I saw the following on the first post of this thread and thought it had already been included.

Version: 3.3

* Added Farcasters Event Attendance patch to the mod.

Sorry for the delay releasing my addon for this. I've been really busy with work these past few weeks and the addon ended up being a lot bigger than I originally planned, thus there's still a little more debugging to do. I'll post the link here once I upload it: look out for CES vb Event Forums - Query Blaster on the home page.
