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.

If he'd respond to any of my posts, I'd happily agree to pay him for his services. It's been over two months - I feel like I've been pretty patient and only update this thread every now and again stating I still have the same problem. At this point, my event forum for posting car shows is entirely useless aside from getting a total of who RSVP'ed Yes, No, Maybe.

You have to edit the file product-rah_calendar_rsvp_3_0_0b.xml with a editor like ConTEXT and fix the line items discribed above...

Not sure if this problem is related to this mod or BBR - vB Event Forums.

I can add threads that are associated with a calendar, but shouldn't I be able to simply post a thread too?

Any chance of integrating this with a payment system (PayPal, etc) to show who has paid for an event? I run a nonprofit organization where we do things like 5k runs, golf tourneys, etc, where people register for events that require entry fees/donations. This hack would be perfect and save us a lot of money over Active.com, EventBrite, etc.
