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 have checked my settings and all I am clicking is yes so not sure why its not working correctly help please!!

I also have this problem. Anyone have have fixed it please?

I've had this mod since it came out for vb4 and I haven't been able to use this fine mod at all. I gave Farcaster admin privileges on my site and he said he knew how to fix it, then I never heard from him again. I'd be willing to toss dough his (or anyone's way) if they could just get it working on my site.

I have same error as 'sweetpotato'. Running vb 4.1.0 and the date doesn't show up correctly for RSVP selection. When selection is made, you get "not a valid selection." I'm definitely tagging this until it's improved but it's a disabled mod at this point. Great feature if it can get sorted out though!

I am getting this error too.

As well as this below each RSVP:

{rsvp:var rsvp.comment}

Also, the date displays a day earlier on the sidebar.

I have 4.07 running.

I notice the XML file contains the following code, however does anybody foresee an issue if I just remove the &redirect=1 code from below and reload the XML?

I had the same problem, just corrected the product (see attachment) for this problem and the date problem, hope this will help other

Totally having issues RSVPing now. I am using 4.1.1 and when I put in a comment and mark attending or whatever... I get: Invalid Action Specified when trying to update.

I was getting the error about the invalid selection but ever since I did the new fix posted today in the BBR thread... I just get Invalid Action Specified. The BBR fix was for a date/time issue.

Please update to 4.1.1. Thank you.

I still face the problem though have tried OlijO update. Maybe only the author of this mod can fix it.

Wow - someone used the RSVP feature on my site and it worked. No more Array error - not sure when it started working but apparently it fixed itself. I have a sneaky suspicion it started working when I converted my server off of WAMP and onto true Apache, MySQL, and PHP installations.

I tryed the update and does not fix {rsvp:var rsvp.comment} issue. Also it will not let me add a new RSVP. I am running 4.1.1. on the custom theme.
