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.

Works great now for some new features
like the ability to put people who sign up into groups preevent. In my search for event mods I ran across this one
http://www.eq2caladrius.com/Download...ils/id=14.html

demo of it in action
http://www.eq2caladrius.com/GEM/pg=15/eid=1.html

pretty cool

Hey, all. I just posted a minor bug fix. The next thing I am looking to do is remove the static Yes/No/Maybe options and make this configurable for anyone. I'm also planning on making a new add-on that will show the member's current RSVP's in his profile (i.e. "Event's I'm Attending")

1.2.1 - 05/09/07 - Maintenance Release

* Bug Fix: Fixed problem with event description being truncated if it ended in the letter "n"
* Bug Fix: Fixed summary when multiple events on the same day are shown so that it no longer cumulatively adds the guests and member counts to the next event.

Here is the link with an example of what I am looking to do:

http://www.wowhq.com/forum/calendar....=2007-4-17&c=1

If you figure it out let me know, exactly what I would like to do, already have the MMORPG options in the UserCP for class and level for the roster.

Cheers,

They are using a variant hack based of this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=145287

[ShawnV]

Perhaps, but the other one is much cleaner, I would rather just add this format to your hack:

Count / User name / Class / Level / Comment

Cheers,

Does this still not work with the Event Forums hack?

[mikeshafer]

How can we modify this so it doesn't actually list out WHO RSVP'd to anyone but the admins/moderators? I'd rather it say "23 yes, 4 no, 5 maybe" rather than list out the people, but if you are an admin/mod it will say who said yes, no, maybe also...

Hello, I just installed this over at my forum.
I see it shows up in a calendar, but we have an even planning forum there for 4x4 trips we plan.

Is there anyway to get this to work with a forum section too such as where we plan our trips, or are we limited to just seeing it in a calendar?

Thanks,

[CoreyT]

I got it!
I had to add two more plugins, then follow the info to setup a calendar and the ID of the forum where I want the RSVP to show up in.

Install this first

I have this mod and the vB Event Forums Users plus a bridge for the 2 mods and everything seemed to be working very well... Thanks Farcaster ..

However, if I switched the "RSVP Expirations" option to "Yes" then our members can not post comments or thank you message to expired past events (working fine with current active events) using "Post Quick Reply" or "Go Advanced" buttons. Usually members will automatically be transferred to a link with the following format:

eg: http://www.xxx.com/forum/calendar.ph...day=2007-05-24

which in turn give this error:

"Invalid $idname specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster"

Members of moderators won't run into this problem.

Currently, our members could get around this problem by using the "Quote" button instead.
