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.

Just wondering, has Farcaster started working on this again or has anyone else? i gave up on this awhile ago because it would not work in combination with the other calendar mods..

I kind of recall someone saying something about a new release being available for 4.1 and I was wondering if anyone has heard anything..

I really find it hard to believe there are so few calendar and event type mods... Some of my clients depend on these things...ofcourse they could always be built into Vbulletin but that is another post on another site i think.. lol

Thanks,
Rich
Thanks

[Zweeper]

a version for 4.1 would be... awesome!!

[Zweeper]

Awesome, thanks for the update!
Actually, its working with its principle, but i have one problem:

I can attend to all three different options at the same time. normally, if i change my status, the old one should be deleted.

I attach a screenshot to show clearly what i mean.

Greetings!

I'm good pals with Farcaster. Let me see if I can catch him. I know he's an extremely busy dude.

[Zweeper]

cheers mate!
