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.

vB Event Forums Users:
You will need to install an additional module: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=133970

Peace

- You could edit the calendar_rsvp_form template and remove the Maybe and No options. Of course, that would prevent the user from removing their RSVP after they selected Yes the first time.

- You could probably accomplish that with conditionals in the template calendar_rsvp_bit

Hey, all. I wanted to let you know that I am working on the 1.2.0 revision now. There are going to be several new features, including an email add-on that will notify users at configurable intervals of upcoming events for which they RSVP'd, and prompt members who RSVP'd maybe to update their status when the event date is coming up. So, be on the lookout for an update email from me in the next week or so.

[nymyth]

^^any chance this update will have ONLY ADMINS or MODS and the user who rsvpd be able to see the RSVP list......and any bigger chance that we can run a script to pull out the names and emails of those that have rsvpd?? LOL...:fingersx"

Peace

Brilliant!!

This is a superb MOD anyway, thanks again...

I do have one question:

I have an extra created field, a 'word; which Users enter upon registration and this 'word' shows on their postbit under their avater....

Now, what I need is for that 'extra field' to show next to their username on the RSVP list of attendees. :up:

Elsewhere on the forum I have to place $post[field5] to show this 'word' where I wish.
However, I tried placing it in the calendarrsvpbit where it should go but it doesnt pick up the field. Obviously something to do with not being able to show that variable in that format.

Can you think of a way that I can show this information??

I had a thought that I need to create and extra field in the db and say that:

$post[field5] = $rsvp[field5]

But it seems a little drastic and probably completely wrong!

If you have any ideas I would appreciate hearing them !!

Thanks vm.

Are you using Event Forums? If so, there is an additional add-on required. Also, try setting up a new event on one of your calendars to see if the RSVP option shows up...

Hi,

Thanks for the mod, it is awsome! It does absolutley exactly what I need it for apart from one thing.

When you go into a specific event (and see the list of everyone who has RSVP'd), eg:

Yes -
Jim
Bob

Maybe -
John
Keith

etc.

Instead of it displaying the Vb username (in my example; Jim, Bob, John, Keith), is it possible to display whatever is in a custom field on the user profile? On my forum it is a requirement to fill in this custom field and want it to display here instead of their forum username.

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks again for an awsome mod

[TorGa3iGhT]

so I ran into the following problem:



i dont really know too much about php, so i'm having a problem trying to narrow down the cause of this.

I am running 3.5.4 with the event attendance 2.0 and also the farcaster event attendance plugin, and also installed the integration as well...thanks in advance!

So, what if 100 people RSVP for the event... is it going to show 100 Usernames/Avatars all in the first post??

Are there any plans of "paginating" the RSVP list, or is this already a feature? I can't really test it out since I don't have 50 different usernames on my website. (It's not live yet)

Yes.

Not at this time, no.
