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.

I'm still very interested to know if an RSVP limit could be added. It would be really nice if it had the functionality to automatically close once a certain number (determined by the poster) was reached.

let me know as soon as this is updated to 3.7 and i'll send a donation.

thanks!

Not sure if this helps, but on my test system (3.7 RC1) this works just fine.

He guys Im running into some issues ... I had this installed along with the vB Event Forums, and the e-mail notification ... I then screwed up and uploaded the vB Event Forums, plugin again and when I did it created a double posting situtation. I looked every where in the code to find that was the cause and couldnt find it. So to fix the issue I uninstalled all three products and started fresh. I reinstalled the vB Event Forums and tested to see if I was still getting the double post error and its gone, I then installed this again, but now its not showing up! WTF! im pulling my hair out over here. It was working fine before! I check and double check the config under VBoptions and everything is set up correctly I even double checked the calendar_showeventsbit template and the "$rsvp_form" is in the correct spot. Im clueless to why this isnt working.

EDIT:

BTW I just realized that I didnt tell you guys whats not working. The RSVP is showing in the VBoptions panel, all the templates are there, when you go to add a new event the RSVP options are on the bottom but when you save the event the RSVP system isnt showing up when you view the thread.

EDIT 2:

NM Im a retard and forgot to reinstall this:

I'm having an issue. Is this normal? I went to edit the time on one of the events I posted, but after I did that, it erased all my RSVPs! I would assume this is some kind of glitch, right? Or can you not edit an event that already has RSVPs?

All, please be aware that this modification is not currently compatible with vBulletion version 3.6.10 and 3.7.0 RC 4 due to the changes that were made to address cross site scripting. I will put out out a maintenance release to address this as soon as possible.

Thanks Farcaster, mine doesn't work either...disabled for now.

Just to note this is the error you get when you try to install.
