I've read this thread several time, but am still unsure. Can someone confirm that this is working ok? I desperately need it but once installed on my live board, I can't afford any major issues.

TIA.

Every event posted gets moderated and the poster receiving an unspecified thread error. That issue hasn't been addressed. I would not recommend installing it on a production board until that issue is taken care of. You will have some highly confused members.

Is there any progress on getting htis working with event attendance hack.. its been a while and not heard anything... cheers

this will be good for my site, thank you :)

Alot of people seem to be looking for updates to this plugin, and well...

I wanted to use this on my forums, so decided to fix alot of the bugs with it (lol) :)

Some of the bugs I have fixed:

• Posting an event/thread follows the forumPermissions.
• Edit redirect went to the event editor for EVERY post, it now only does it for the top post (the one that the event was posted with).
• New Thread forwards to new event for moderators too (I changed this because i wanted mods to be able to use it this way too, but its easily changed back).
• Edit Event used the incorrect text after mulitple posts (this could have been due to a change i made fixing other bugs).
• If you click on an event link that doesnt have an assosiated thread, you no longer get that confusing error (no thread specified). Instead it goes to the event info as it would before the plugin was installed.
• Changed the ordering of the title. This was down to personal preference, but I did it to suite my own personal forums. IMO it would be really nice to have some way to configure this in the vbulletin options :)

Im sure theres other things ive fixed, but it was sort of all on the fly hehe.

There is still a bug in it which I havent looked at fixing yet which is the delete thread, which seems to be a bit dodgy.

If you want to try out the changes I made, then feel free to download the attatchment below. I'm using this on a live board and it seems to be working fine, aside from the one bug above.

Hope this helps some of you desperate for this :)

Sorry if you feel I have annoyed you by fixing all your bugs. I'm just a bit impatient and saw that I could help. If you want to use the changes I have made then feel free. I just ask that you put some credit somewhere :)

That's awesome Dave, thank you so much. Off to test it out.

I have your version installed Dave, which fixed all the bugs I was experiencing.

Question: I have this setup so that users can reply to the thread that is created by the calendar. I also use vBadvanced, and have the mini calendar installed on the portal page. The problem is, when I click on the event in the mini calendar, it doesn't link to the thread, it shows the last post in the thread, as the details for the event.

Live Demo of the issue: www.newayz.net in the mini calendar, click on 13th September. You'll see what I mean.

Thanks,

now, we have to set this "Event Attendance" merge.. ;)

just tested on a test board, after i figured out what the calendar and forum id where, it worked great :) is the file in the first thread updated as the creators last post ? and event attendace merge would be awsome :)
great hack

When you click on a day in the minicalendar, or in the large calendar. It shows you an overview of the days events. This is what you will be seeing. (Just went to the site and there are no events for the day).

If you click on the event title there, it will take you to the thread still. But i think it would be nice to have a button here or something. Isnt very obvious for users :)

The event forums seems to update the event with each new post to the thread. So the last post displays as the event info on the day view. I'll try and fix this.

One note:

I have PM'd the author of this plugin about taking over the project, but he has still not replied. He has not been online since 27th august (nearly 2 weeks). Not sure if he is just on holiday or has stopped supporting this. Either way, i'm not going to post any more updates until I have got his permission to take it over or make a new plugin.
