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.

This only seems to work for Ranged Events. Any way to change that? If I have an All Day Event, I can still set it to allow people to sign up, but I get no link to allow them to.

Please see the "allow late enroll" option in your AdminCP - this works as designed.

No, this would be a new hack.

Hi there, great mod

Wanted to ask if it is possible to up the attendee count by 2 for some profiles instead of 1, so for example if a profile is for a single person (Arthur) and they add themself to the event then the attendee count goes up by 1 but if the profile is owned by a couple (Fred & Ginger) and they add themselves then the attendee count goes up by 2

Also could the attendee name be some other profile field other than the profile username, so instead of it showing Fred & Gingers registration name then instead it shows the custom field [customfield1] in which they might put Fred the Freak and Ginger the Whinger

Your help most appreciated

Awesome plugin. I have one feature request here, and I don't know how easy / hard it would be to do -

Have the event creator be able to specify event limits, and then if more users sign up than the event can hold, they are put on a "reserve" or "backup" list.

That would be very cool

• read the event data in the forum thread
• add the event attendance template output to the posts output
• ensure that users clicking on "I will be attending" will be redirected to the thread instead of the calendar.
