Event Attendance 2.0

This is an update version of the vB 3.0x "Event Attendance" hack found HERE. Thanks to Kentaurus for allowing redistribution.

I have rebuild/rewritten the hack for vB 3.5 - now it is no longer a hack but a plugin. No template modifications and no code modifications required.

This plugin allows users to enroll for events. When a new event is created, the user can decide if this feature is available for this event.

This plugin includes (from the 3.0x Version and Thread):

• Links to userprofile (by buro9)
• Counter for enrolled users (by Sanni)
• and most (all?) fixes from old version
• no additional queries! (for reading, if you enroll/cancel there is one additional query)

It does not include (from the old thread):

• Fix for reoccuring events (complete redesign needed)
• Addon for guest-count (I don't need this, feel free to re-add)

Additional Features:

• Event Attendance can be deactivated for reoccuring events (see Options in AdminCP)
• Enroll/Cancel can be deactivated for events that are already started (AdminCP)
• Sorting of enrolled people can be switched via AdminCP
• All text is now in phrases

Installation:

• Go to ACP/ Plugin System/ Manage Products.
• Click Add/Import Product, select the product XML File you downloaded here and click Import.
• Thats all - Have fun!

Known Problems:

• calendar_roll and calendar_rollbit templates are not cached. I've not found a way to do this by using a plugin. But this is not really an issue.
• Aug. 24th: Bug found by endquote in post#36: Typo in var name, this will cause Event enrollment to be disable at the wrong time (depending on time zome). Will be fixed in next release.

If you upgrade from 3.0x:

• This plugin is fully database compatible to the old hack, if you upgrade no data will be lost.
• You need to revert your calendar templates: calendar_showeventsbit, calendar_roll and calendar_rollbit.
• If you do not want to revert your calendar_weekly_event and calendar_monthly_event please use "Mark enrolled in month/weekly view"=NO in Event Attendance Options to avoid event to be marked twice ("*").

Feature Requests:
I list the feature requests here - this does not mean that I will code it. If you are a coder feel free to code it and release it as addon or allow me to include it here.

• Change text after event is over. (Post #21) (very likely)
• "It would be better if the plugin wouldn't let you add yourself after it's ended rather than started." (Post #35) (very likely)
• "Another suggestion would be to have an admin option to just set all events to have the attendance functionality, rather than providing an option when posting." (Post #35) (very likely)
• List of attended events in User Profile (Post #11) (maybe later)
• CVS-Export of attending users (Post #8) (unlikely)

Aug. 15th: Beta-Tag removed, no code changes.

Please click INSTALL if you like this plugin.

Is there a way to link events to forums?

I run a dance party website, and we have different forums for each upcoming event. In that forum, users make threads about the party.

It would be awesome if at the top of the forum (on the thread list page), if the user could click "add me to this event", and then be added to the list.. as well as having a popup window there for them to see other users attending.

Is this beyond the scope of this plugin, or is it do-able?

Has anyone got this successfully running on 3.54? I cant for the life of me.

I have gotten it to work on 3.5.4 works quite nice on a modified forum

[kizzmet]

Thank you for this, my users are very excited about it.

That creates new threads for events, not new forums.

unfortunately this doesn't seem to work together with the event-forum-plugin.

Probably anyone could make this possible?

[ataraxia]

This is a GREAT plugin!

QUESTION: Is there some way to make the "Allow users to specify that they will be attending this event." setting to default to "Yes"?

When adding events most people (including myself) seem to overlook or forget that setting entirely. The result is that few events ever offer the option to the general members.

Thanks

How do I add VBulletin profile fields to the list of items shown?
I'm editing the rollbits with this info----but it isn't "parsing" the profile fields....

<li><a href="member.php?u=$rolluserid">$rollusername</a></li>
<td class="tcat" bgcolor="#919EBA">Character Level:</td>
<td class="panelsurround">$userinfo[field2]</td>
<td class="tcat" bgcolor="#919EBA">Character Class:</td>
<td class="panelsurround">$userinfo[field14]</td>

ataraxia, simply go to the plugin manager, find "Event Attendance - add enroll to create form" and edit it.
Now edit the PHP code

$disablesmiliesoption.='<div><label for="cb_rollcall"><input type="checkbox" name="useroll" value="1" id="cb_roll" tabindex="3" '.$useroll.' />'.$vbphrase['roll_allowenroll'].'</label></div>';

change to:

$disablesmiliesoption.='<div><label for="cb_rollcall"><input type="checkbox" checked name="useroll" value="1" id="cb_roll" tabindex="3" '.$useroll.' />'.$vbphrase['roll_allowenroll'].'</label></div>';

Now, things i would like to see on this mod:
- add the guest functionality, so poeple can enroll and add upto 5 guests
- make the data indexable/searchable, so that when you click on the user's profile, it will show the events this user has attened.
- after the event takes place, the next day, use a popup on the main screen to ask if the user did infact attend the event. If they choose yes, leave them on the list as a 'attendee' otherwise, remove their name from the list.
