Calendar Enhancements - Farcaster's Event Attendance v3 (for vb4)

This modification will allow your members to RSVP to events on the vBulletin calendar. By default, members can respond "Yes," "No," or "Maybe," as to whether or not they will be able to attend an event, but you can modify or add to the list of responses members are presented with as you desire.

Features

• Specify some or all of your calendars to use the RSVP system.
• Set whether an event accepts RSVPs during event creation / edit.
• Allow members to specify if they will be bringing a guest.
• Event owners can set the maximum number of guests each member may bring.
• Events can be set to close RSVPs on the day of the event or before.
• RSVP comments (up to 65k character limit, configurable)
• Timestamped RSVPs
• Moderators and event owners can remove member RSVPs from events.
• Attendance list can be set to display member avatars.
• Improved handling of differing timezones and daylight saving times.
• Configurable Response options. You aren't stuck with Yes, No, Maybe. You can setup whatever responses you want.
• Ability to specify a maximum number of attendees for an event. After the maximum is reached, you can configure members to either receive an error or have their response (RSVP) automatically changed to something else. This could be used to create a wait-list bucket, for instance.

Requirements
vBulletin v4.0.0 or higher.

I can't troubleshoot it without viewing the actual event page itself. Chances are there's something in the CSS or template that needs to be changed as far as the width of the div is concerned. I use FireBug to debug CSS and HTML template issues. If you can PM me the link, I don't mind looking at the event and telling you what needs to be changed (if I can find it)

I have a member reporting that problem too when using Explorer.

EDIT: Explorer 8.
Go to Tools --> Compatibility View Settings --> Add this website. Close. Fixed.

Still getting "Array" for the RSVP results.

Does this calendar have the ability to only allow say certain guests to attend an event? Say I post on a public forum viewable to all users, but I only want a group of friends to RSVP. Is this possible?

Also what is this "BRR Event Forums"? Is this something in conjunction to this mod? Thanks in advance.

Edit: Nevermind I found the Event Forums.

Installed! Seems like a great mod but one question...

Is there anyway to create an event on the calendar that doesn't invite everyone who is a member of the forum? Like a way to restrict who is invited?

Say I only want to invite people I am friends with, or maybe only certain specific people (maybe say a birthday for only 10 of my friends), is this possible? Thanks.

[Jabong82]

Bump. Again great mod, but is there anyway to specify a certain group of people (ie. user friends, specific list etc) receive the event invite, or is it pretty much every time an event is posted the whole forum is invited?

Thanks in advance.

Awesome mod- could use some cleaning up to look nicer and stand out more, but it's a great mod, thanks!

I am very interested in a mod that would go with this, something that could create a new calendar for each social group and then allow only those of a group to add events to that calendar.

If this is done then you can avoid using sites like meetup.com to have local groups gather.

I'd be willing to even pay a bit for someone to develop such if it doesn't exist.

I am a programmer and may do it myself if no one is interested (but I'm new to vb)

Yes please make this mod! The calendar seriously needs some privatizing.

I would also be willing to pay/chip in/make donation if someone would create this mod.

When I go to hit submit to RSVP for an event, I get sent directly to a "Page not found" page. When I go back to the event, my RSVP is there. Anyone know what might be causing this and how to fix it?

[steven s]

Anyone noticing that the event closes early?
It doesn't look like it's taking in consideration of the timezone offset.
If you look at the UTC field, it is zero where it used to be (in my case) -5.00.
