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.

Okies I am customizing the events display.

I have edited calendar_rsvp_bit

But need to know what template calls this template, as it sits in a loop.

Cheers Ste

Any ideas? I understand you're busy - even just a response that you saw my post and are investigating will let me rest easy. BBR said that this issue is solely with the RSVP side of the mod.

I'm surprised everyone else isn't having this issue? What could I have possibly different than everyone else?

PS - Just to be certain, I disabled the BBR - Event Forums add-on and it still said array for each of the RSVP attendees when I would go to the event on the calendar instead of trying to go through the thread.


Edit: I see this is where the "Array" is being parsed into the template - located in calendar_rsvp_section:

<ul><vb:if condition="$vboptions[rah_rsvp_showavatar]"><table>{vb:raw rsvp_section_bit.$key}</table><vb:else />{vb:raw rsvp_section_bit.$key}</vb:if></ul>

Not sure why {vb:raw rsvp_section_bit.$key} is returning "Array" though.

Try the following code.

<ul><vb:if condition="$vboptions[rah_rsvp_showavatar]"><table>{vb:raw rsvp_section_bit.key}</table><vb:else />{vb:raw rsvp_section_bit.key}</vb:if></ul>

Great Mod, thanks for releasing

Just one thing, when I submit a comment, im taking to a "page not found". However, once i go back to the thread, i see the comment added.

Any ideas?

This is not a bug I can reproduce. In order to troubleshoot, I would need admin access to your board and likely would need to have debug mode turned on as well. If you have an offline copy of your forums that would do nicely.

Didn't work, but thanks for trying. It did remove the "Array" text, but now each section is just blank.

Hrm, unfortunately I don't think I can do any of that. What version of PHP do you use? Maybe it's my server's configuration that is doing it. I'm using WampServer 2.0i which uses Apache 2.2.11, MySQL 5.1.36, PHP 5.3.0.

I don't know how much this helps but I turned debug mode on for a few minutes and tried different things - refreshing the thread, RSVP'ing to the event, etc.

Whether Building Section - Yes or Building Section - No showed up, it would still just show "Array"

All the database queries were working perfectly fine. I ran them separately using phpMyAdmin and the Execute SQL Query in AdminCP and both returned the data.

I don't see any error messages in my PHP error log or my Apache error log.

I also disabled ALL mods and I still get "Array" so it's not another modification conflicting with it.

I saved the debug output if any of it would prove helpful.

I see the following templates were called:
(1)calendar_rsvp
(1)calendar_rsvp_bit
(1)calendar_rsvp_form
(3)calendar_rsvp_form_responsebit
(1)calendar_rsvp_section

But aside from that, I don't see any other mention of RSVP in the Phrase Groups, Include Files, Hooks, etc. There were no messages.

[meissenation]

Also - for those that have this working 100%, is anyone using PHP 5.3.0? I'm wondering if my PHP version is causing the problem since it seems to be a programming issue?

Yes, please PM me with the debug output. Apart from that, if I cannot reproduce the issue and cannot get access to the system where this problem occurs, I cannot help troubleshoot this problem.

[meissenation]

PM sent.
