Event attendance
 

Request by: DaveLogic

With this hack when you create an event you can give the users an option to "register" to the event. Then you can view which people have registered to that event.

This could be used so you create an event and then other people notify that they will be attending to the event. You can then keep track of all the people that would be attending each event.

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission
Some portions of the code are (c) Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Very nice!! Will this work for Gold?

also, is there another link for them to unregister? or access for admins and mods to remove names if need be?

Thanks

Hmm.. Interesting mod. Not too sure if I'll ever use it, but good work.

nice, rrreally cool one, thanks!

It was done for gold. What I am not sure is if it would work with previous versions.

Yes, there is a link for unregistering if you are already registered. You can already see that in the screenshots ;) Currently mods cannot edit that list.

great considering im planning a huge event as we speak :)

As if you read my mind. My other admin was just speaking of this yesterday.. perf!

I shall install it as soon as I sort out my Gallery issues, thanks a ton!

Obviously room for a small request; User profile, events im attending.

Thanks again mate :)

Thanks a lot for this.. should come in very handy :)

Wow.. This is MUCH easier than the hack I was working on for vB2 a while back.

Congrats.. :)

Great job! I will be able to use this.

wow! i've been waiting for this forever, thank you!!!!!

any chance you could add an admin option to "mass email or pm attendees" for a future version? =)

thanks very much for this great hack

*installed*

Top quality I was looking for something like this :)

ya some great additions for your next version

1 - allow mods to edit list
2 - allow admin/mods/or another user group (b/c we a have a planning commitee) to mass email or pm attendies
3 - user profile "im attending:"

i can't think of anymore

GREAT WORK!!! will install as soon as i upgrade!

Excellent! My members have local meetings and this is perfect. Great job!

**installs**

wow very great hack, what else would be good is if it features an "i may be attending" link

Awesome
!1!! Thansk for this

Quick request: I'd like the attendee's user names to link to their profiles -- so members can easily contact each other. Is that a hard mod?

Again, great hack!

yes i agree with that, that would be really great :)

Very nice - thank you!

/me clicks install

would be very easy to do.. but i dont want to modify and display code thats not mine.

I'll leave it to the hacker to mod/display.

This is a fantastic hack, and I've installed straight away.

Done a few modifications locally and if the author wants me to post them, just nod :) I don't like stomping on others hacks beyond giving support... these are features though so let me know if you want them.

The changes I've done are:
* Case in the event template to prevent guests from adding attendance (Google Spiders).
* Sorted the $roll array using natural sorting to make it more readable when it's large
* Add links through to the member profile page of the members in the $rollbits
* Corrected the HTML label in the edit template so that it functions

Erm, think that's all. Nothing too difficult as you've done such a stunning job already :)

I'd like to see those changes if you don't mind as I am trying to do most of those already. Could you email them to "removed".

Several people have asked, and I had already sent them to one person, so I'll put them here, and if the hack author objects I'll remove them.

This is what I sent to the first person that asked:

In calendar.php the block of code you would have adjusted following:
I have this:
And then the calendar_rollbit becomes:
And the calendar_roll becomes:

Finally... find and correct the label title for the checkbox in the calendar_edit template... it should be:
Some of that may not work in old versions of PHP, you'll have to try it and see :)

Thanks! Could you edit your post and take out my email? I edited mine because if not I'll get blasted with spam. :)

Awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

There is a small bug, here is the description and fix for it.

If you have multiple events on the same day using the event attendance hack, and then view the day via the calendar... which lists all events on that day.

In this scenario the roll from event 1 is added to event 2, and 1 + 2 are added to event 3.

This occurs because a loop in calendar.php does not unset the rollbits HTML each time it starts processing a new event.

The fix is to find within calendar.php this:
And change it to this:
This will nuke the variable that contains the HTML of the rollbits from the last event, thus ensuring that attendees aren't appearing at events that they didn't mark themselves as attending.

Ihave one problem.

I have completely no idea at all how to create templates that are need.

All help I have found so far, don't actually tell u how to do it.

IE the

################################################## ###########
# New template: calendar_roll
################################################## ###########

and

################################################## ###########
# New template: calendar_rollbit
################################################## ###########

Vbulletin Admin > Styles & Templates (lefthand side nav) > Change All style options to Add Template > Type in template name (i.e calendar_roll) > Copy & paste html from txt file in and SAVE....

Now the only problem i have is the 2 PHP files won't work

I have had to upload the original version :o

DOH!!!!

Just ignore me, I'm was having a blonde moment

How can I stop it signing you up for recurring events.

IF an event happens every Monday, it will sign u up for every monday.

Don't particularly need this bit

This would be a good improvement to the hack..
Some people may not be able to attend a recurring event every week/month/year.


I finally got around to installing this, and also buro9's improvements - All is working with no problems on 3.0.1, thanks guys.. :)

still no one managed to add this yet :(

[high]* SySt3M agrees and clicks install
[/high]

nice work dude :)

Is there a way to have a user be able to create an event that is only viewable by themself, and have others be invited (by this hack) and then be able to see the event and register interest?

Ie: only the creator and those who have been invited (via some sort of auto-PM) can see it?

This hack is great, and I'm close to installing it.

One thing I'd like to see is the ability to include a link to a thread for discussion of that event. If that one small feature existed, I'd install it right away!

i'd like to see this functionaly to be built into a thread.....just like the polls?

Is it just me but I can;t find

in calander.php???

Anyone? I just checked a clean calendar.php and no sigh of the

$monthselected["$month"] = HTML_SELECTED;

code anywhere? What am I missing? I really want to get this installed??

It's on line 372

Try searching for For calendarjump

or ## MONTHLY VIEW ##

What I usually do if it's not found is do a partial search so for instance $monthselected["$month then check to see if it's definately the correct line that's found.
