I'll have to be honest and say I'm rather displeased. Even though I have not heard back yet from Evercraft, Farcaster feels he should still retain control over the Integration of the two mods. While I have no problems with collaboration this would either:

1. Require me to coach Farcaster on every single change I've made to BOTH plugins (This mod will never be able to work with the changes I've made to Event Forums, as is).

or 2. Send him the integration plugin in its entirety so he can release it as his own.

So, I'm afraid to say if I even do hear back from Evercraft, I may have to incorporate my own RSVP plugins directly into the Event Forums product. And what's worse is since I've already shared with him most of my original ideas for this mod, I would be accused of copying if both products were to have the same additions. So I would be discouraged from even bothering to release anything at all, and then we're back to where we started.

(Which was me simply redoing both mods in a personal capacity, since they both cause so many problems when working in tandem.)

And on that note I would highly suggest not considering offering integration anymore with the old Event Forums, Farcaster. The mod actually goes back further than Evercraft's involvement, back to 3.5 and maybe even older, and therefore is coded accordingly. I've changed so much at this point, that I don't even remember if everything is sanitized in the correct fashion. Not to mention the 60 extra queries on FORUMDISPLAY, and dozen on SHOWTHREAD.

Sorry to disappoint, guys. At least I tried.

My opinion is that at this point in time this mod is considered abandoned. Yes, we have seen a recent post (six days ago) from Farcaster that he plans to reengage but that was the first we have seen of him in many months. The community has been begging for someone to bring this mod up to current standards and it sounds like you have rewritten a large portion of the MOD, unless I'm missing something. I see many mods on VB that are similar to each other, that's nothing new. Why not scrap the rest of what you borrowed from the other mods, rewrite it in full, add a few new features and release it as your own mod? No hard feelings to anyone but there is a need for this mod and you were passionate enough to try and help. My vote would be for you to finish it up and release it as your own MOD.

First of all, this mod is working properly with 3.6.x, 3.7.x, and 3.8.x. The integration modification that I did some time ago between Evercraft's Event Forums and this one is what is not working. This is 100% because Evercraft has not kept his modification up to date and working with the new versions of vBulletin. I do not have the time, nor do I have the desire to take on the Event Forums modification that Evercraft created. Therein lies the crux of the problem of the Event Forums integration.

Second, if someone wants to write a new version of the RSVP modification from scratch without using any of the code I have written, then they are certainly welcome to do that.

Dear Farcaster,

Do you have the time and desire to create event forums functions for this hack?
This is what many members are waiting for.

There is a difference between taking over someone else's modification and expanding your own. I am hoping that farcaster does have the desire for that and thus wants to make time for it.

If not then other coders will have to be found to have such features coded.

IMHO event attendance functions and forum <-> calendar integration supplement each other so much, that many admins will not use one without the other.

I will look into this and try to get a feel for the level of effort such a modification would take and then I will let you know.

This looks like a great mod. Will this be fully released soon, and is it compatible with 3.7.X?

I think this mod does one thing wrong... I dont want to give my members the ability to RSVP to events on the CALENDAR... almost no one on my forum uses the calendar... Someone needs to make a mod that lets people RSVP to a THREAD... this way we won't have to worry about this stupid vbEvents Forum integration bullcrap.

I would like to thank TMC for at least trying, I had high hopes for it as I really need to upgrade my forum, but rely on event forums AND rsvps at the moment and cannot risk breaking them.

I can't change or delete an Event as Admin.

How i can do that? The Usergroups are in the ACP in vB.

I think EVERYONE is missing the point of this... VBULLETIN has made CALENDAR.PHP the bastard child of VBULLETIN... they have gone and created, blogs, project tools, upgraded the forum... etc... and didn't try to expand on the calendar... which can be VERY usefull if there were enough default featuers.... just look at how a small company by the name of FACEBOOK utilizes a calendar....

This mod should be a standard feature..... and rsvpin' via a forum is sorta silly... but to each his own... but if the calendar.php was 1/3 better... or even improved on within the last 3yrs!!!... maybe more.... its just so frustrating... ppl don't know how to integrate the calendar cuz it is the bastard child of vbulletin and never implemented properly...

Good point in here! However I would add this sentence to at least 50 addons available here going from vbStatus to vbSEO.

vb needs to change their strategy: even n00bs can start their web2.0 portal within minutes while you need to beg your **** off to get simple features anytime via upgrade.

Just to be clear, my modification does work on 3.8.0 and earlier versions. It is the integration modification with the Event Forums that has been abandoned, and that is because the Event Forums modification hasn't been updated to work with later versions.

Evercraft enthusiastically gave me permission.

You very quickly and harshly denied me permission.

I find it a bit comical that now you are trying to claim that it's Evercraft's fault (which it isn't, previous to making this mod I have been running an updated version of evercrafts mod and an updated of your two mods). You had the opportunity to have it updated... you didn't take it, and you didn't let someone else handle it. Don't try and offset the blame elsewhere... it's yours.

Farcaster

01-16-2009 05:27 AM

PT,

I wasn't trying to place blame anywhere. I just wanted to make sure that anyone who is using this modification is aware that it does work with 3.8.0 and 3.7.x. If they do not want or need to integrate it with the Event Forums mod, then this modification will work fine for them. If they do want to use it with the Event Forums, your mod may be a good option. I just don't want there to be any confusion and people thinking they have to switch if they want to use this with 3.8.0.

As to Evercraft's mod, it hasn't been updated. If it were, I would have made integrated his updates into this modification. I never wanted to take on the Event Forums mod though for my own, so I wasn't about to try to figure out what was wrong with his to make it work correctly with new editions.

I have cleaned up this thread from a lot of noise.

It is every authors right to choose if he will allow others to release modified versions of his work or not. The decission should be respected and it serves no purpose to post over and over again that you are not happy with the decission.

Also advertising your own work in the thread of another modification is not allowed. If you think there is a need to discus something, use the appropriate forum for it, if you have coded your own solution, just release it. There is no reason why you should post in this thread about work you are creating.

You can do this by editing your template to something like this:

HTML Code:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1, 6">$rsvp_form</if>

Replace the 1,6 with whatever groups you want to be able to see the mod and put a comma between each one.

It will work with 3.8. It does not work with the Evercraft's mod, Event Forums.

I installed Event Forums on 3.8 and it worked fine, I installed your mod on 3.8 on its own and it worked fine, why can't they be made to work together.

has the Farcaster's Event Attendance & vb Event Forums Integration been updated for 3.7.3?

Leo Brazil

02-04-2009 03:11 PM

I have just installed it on 3.8.0
Set up everything, that's very easy to undertand BTW.

But when try to choose any of the options I created the only thing I can get is: "The response you gave to this event was not in the list of valid responses"

I've checked this using an event I already had in my calendar. I had to edit this event to include RSVP options for this and to be showed on event page. Everything seems to be running OK but this.

Any ideas ?

Edited: More info about this issue:

I was checking database for this mod and looks like db table eventattendance is empt. The valid options should be storaged into it, isn't it ?
I've tried to remove the function that verifies Valid Options just to see what happens. Now I can choose but the page just refreshes and nothing else happens db eventattendance is still empt. It seems a write function to write on this db is missing or something. Tried also to check and optimize those two db tables created by this mod but everything OK.

BTW, this happens with a fresh installation on 3.8.0, I meam may be it's a different situation then have it installed on 3.7.X and upgrade to 3.8.

Some help with this will be very welcome.

I want ti install this on vB 3.8.1

Question I have is when vB 3.8.2 comes out, will I have to re-install it, or will it be already there working? (I dont want to have to re-install every month when the latest vB comes out.

Thanks for the response in advance.

Ok I am still at a loss as to why, this event tool, cannot write the url of the event to a thread within a designated forum.

Parseing the title into threadtitle, and within its content have link back to the event calendar item.

Surely this would be easy enough to do, and could solve this bridge issue.

I have no interest in the thread being open or closed, just viewable by forum members.

Also, can we have it so that it displays on forum home, as do our normal calendar events ? and perhaps listed in CYB's stats mod, this is just such a superb mod ( Farcasters events ) that I dont want to disable, it for fear of no one ever finding it.

As it is most of our users dont even look at the calendars

Even something simple, like auto sig add for events users have created.

Can you print out the list of attendees the day of the event (like a guestlist)

PRINT LIST option?

TimberFloorAu

02-15-2009 09:48 AM

for some reason when a member of ours posts an event, the RSVP doesnt show, it states RSVP is closed for this event.

Any idea why please

I've just had the same fault reported to me by my members. Checking it out for myself I have verified the message and it appears that Leo Brasil has a point. What should we do? Should we re-install the product?

Edit: I re-installed the product (allowed overwrite) and no different. Tried editing an existing event to RSVP to and adding a new event to do the same. Nada.

Leo Brazil

02-16-2009 03:21 PM

starman,

I've tried everything I could to make it work but nothing. I'm on still the same.

May be Farcaster is reading our posts here and come up with some suggestions.

Let's see.

starman?

02-17-2009 09:19 AM

Let's hope so Leo, as my members are so used to the RSVP system now and the alternative is unthinkable.

Hi there,

I was wondering if it was possible to show a user's additional usergroup next to their name on the signup page.... can you tell me how to do this if it is indeed possible?

Thanks

Do either of you have the ability to show me the debug information on the page when this is happening or give me steps to reproduce the problem? Does it only happen for certain users? Does it happen for single day, ranged, recurring or all events?

All times are GMT. The time now is 12:47 PM.
