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.

But need to know what template calls this template, as it sits in a loop.

Farcaster its real good addon really love it, the only thing i'm missing is who viewed the event so that you can compare who signed and who did not but visited the calendar.

You can always use Paul M's "Who has read a thread" mod to do that. I would assume it works on these posts, although I don't know for sure.

You should be able to use that if you also use the vb Event Forums.

Does not work Trek but Thanks for the hint of that addon. It does not give option to monitor the calendar at all.

Maybe I'm not sure what you're looking for? This works fine on my forums.

Basically, all of the calendar items are done through the forums using the "BRR Event Forums" mod tied with this mod. Since everything is a forum thread, it is treated the same as to when someone reads it.

So on my event forum posts, I have a list of who has read them. Which would tell you then by looking at the RSVP list and who as read the thread, who has chosen not to answer.
