Cheers,

Thank you for pointing this out. I'll add this to the list of stuff I'm going to attempt to fix. This would've actually been a pretty big problem on my site!

Displayed Roll Call: User1, User2, User3

Event #2 -
Actual Roll Call: User4
Displayed Roll Call: User1, User2, User3, User4

...

Would appear that the array isn't cleared between cycles? Haven't had a chance to look at the code yet to verify.

I've only run across this problem when you look at all the events in a day at once. If you go to individual events, everything is fine. I suspect you are right about the array not being cleared. Any thoughts on how to fix it? I'm looking into it as I type.

and after it add another

PHP Code:

That's what I've found to work so far, but I haven't tested it fully, so let me know if there are any problems.

Ok, I finally figured out a fix for the double listing problem on a day's events listing. Find this:

PHP Code:


		
			
// Roll for this event

and under it add

PHP Code:


		
			
unset($rollbits);

That should do it. I've tested it loosely and it works. Let me know if there are any problems.

I think that addresses the 2 problems that people were having with this otherwise wonderful hack. I hope the author won't mind me posting the fixes I found and I hope they can be incorporated into the next release.

Hello,

this is what i had implemented from day one when i experienced this bug. It worked fine so far until 1 week ago. Now i have 2 problems:

- still have unregistered user on the list of attendees
- users are listed who never clicked on the link

I found out how they bypass our check for userid. They open 2 windows as a user who is not attending the event and sees the link "i want to attend to this event". Then he goes to the second window and logs out of the forum. The cookie is cleared. Then he goes back and clicks the link in the first window which is still there and oleeeeeeeee oleeeeeeeeee you have the user "unregistered user" attend the event. :-(

I haven't found out how they managed now to subscribe other users to an event but i will try to find out this as well.

Cheers,

I wish you would've posted it. :( It would've saved me quite a bit of time.

That makes sense actually since all our code does is eliminate the prompt for an unregistered user and doesn't actually make it so an unregistered user cannot set the bit.

I think some sort of "if user logged in" code prefixing the db update would keep the unregistered users from setting the bit even if they somehow get the option. I've briefly looked at calendar.php and it seems like it will be easy to implement. The question is just where to put the code.

Now from what I've seen, if a unregistered user is already set, the only way to unset them is to get to a prompt and unset it.

As far as the other users that never clicked it, the only thing I can think of is some sort of db corruption. How many events do you have so far and how many people have used it? Maybe there are problems once usage gets above a certain level.
