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.

Thanks.

I can tell by the URL you shared that you are referencing a day in the past. Look at the URL closely: http://www.brotherhoodofgamers.com/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=2&day=2009-11-29. See the day=2009-11-29 at the end? That occurs in the past. If you need further troubleshooting or assistance on this, set me up with an account with access to this calendar and event and send me the credentials via PM.

Weird, it got fixed and I didn't do anything :/

Thanks anyway.

EDIT: Can you make smilies work in it? I just tested it http://www.brotherhoodofgamers.com/c...c=1&redirect=1

EDIT: nvm I fixed it by changing date, I mixed up the events and though it fixed itself loll.

Is there a way for this to be integrated within a "special forum" yet, so that an event organiser can have the event details parsed in their 1st post of the thread.

Then attendees are automatically added to that 1st post, or is this way off the beaten track?

Our members love events we have many of them, but they hate using calendars. So something that when you.

1. created a subscribeable event on the calendar, wouldd auto post that event as a thread, and then attendees could subscribe to the event, and their usernames automatically added to the first post would be Stunning !

There is a hack that creates forum posts for events. It is possible that this might be integrated in the future if the developer releases the modification to the community. If not, no, I have no plans to integrate this with forum posts.

This is fab - now if Evercraft would ever update his vB Event Forum mod and we could re-integrate the two, life on my board would be back to normal. 4.0 was very tragic for my site.

Cheers Farcaster.

Its a given that event attendance needs to be integrated with forum threads, otherwise its a great feature hidden away.

< has it tagged

This sounds really cool!

Thanks!
I really needed this.
$50US on it's way!

Great mod, thanks for sharing. Is there a way to have the Calender used for social group events to show up on the main social groups page somewhere where is can be seen? It just seem to be a shame as some one else has said, "hidden away" ! Cheers.

Not installed yet, but thanks!!!
