Calendar Enhancements - Farcaster's Event Attendance

A BETA version 2.0 is now available in the 3.7 modification area.

This hack will allow your users to RSVP "Yes," "No," or "Maybe," for events posted on your forum calendar. You can configure which calendars RSVP should be enabled or excluded from, and on each event you can also specify whether this is an RSVP event. Unlike the old Event Attendance script, this hack will work on all types of events whether they are single day, ranged or recurring.

For ranged and recurring events, members are able to RSVP for a single day of the event. So, if the recurring event occurs every Monday, your members can RSVP separately for each recurrence. For ranged events that span more than one day, members can sign up for individual days of the event. Thus, if the event had a duration of 5 days, a member could signup for only one or two of the days, if he chose.

This hack is known to work with 3.6.x, and may work with 3.5.x, but no support is offered for this version at this time.

The uninstall process will be fixed. Although, for clarity sake, I will probably release the Event Forums & RSVP integration as a seperate Add-On hack. Nonetheless, I will at the very least put in a bug fix to the current version and upload that, hopefully tonight.

[Farcaster]

Heya, all. The add-on to integrate the Event Forums and RSVP system is complete. You can find it here:

clicking submit button w/o setting status users get system-message they have
no rights for this page. no advice to that wrong RSVP status.

The hack uses the pre-existing standard phrase, "Yes". You'll need to find that phrase in the phrase manager and provide a german translation.

ok. i translated phrases to german - because both languages are part of
interrest.

is it possible to use both languages ("yes" + "ja") with pre-setting to yes ?
