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.

This is a great mod and really makes the calendar much more useful.
I would need to update the link to the userprofile for the people who responded as I'm using a different userID query on my site.
Does anyone know where this can be changed as I couldn't find it in the template code?
Thanks.

Actually, it is easy, was just looking in the wrong template. The way to display the members attending is defined in the calendar_rsvp_bit template

Since V2 beta has never come out of beta and does not work with the other events hacks, I would be interested to learn if this events integration works with vbulletin 3.7.3

Has anyone tried this on vb 3.7.3?

[xcesivvs]

We are in the middle of installing this featore on our forum

We would like to tweak the 3 options from
Yes, Maybe and No to Entrant, Spectator and Not Attending.

This i think i can do, but the other thing we wanna do is because there is a plan that we will be getting a lot of responses, we dont want to havea massive list with all the comments, just the link being the username, the members avatar and under there category of going or not.

And run these in a few rows/ columns to make it not such a long list.

can someone help how to do this please

thank you

Warren

I have gotten this to work on our forum. Below are the steps i took

vBulletin version : 3.7.3

NOTE: I have vB Events already install from previous version of vBulletin.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ent+attendance

Step0 : I uninstalled both products below.


Step1 : Re-Installed Farcaster's Event Attendance 1.2.1
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ent+attendance


Step2 : Re-Installed Farcaster's Event Attendance & Event Forums Add-On 1.1.1
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=133970


Step3 : Only If you get an error about "securitytoken". Follow the instructions on this post.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=102

Here's mine below. (just made it the last line)

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="getinfo" />
<input type="hidden" name="cdo" value="rsvp" />
<input type="hidden" name="day" value="$rsvp_day" />
<input type="hidden" name="e" value="$eventinfo[eventid]" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />


Hope this helps some of you. Goodluck!

I also got this to work in 3.8...

[CoreyT]

Thank you very much.
Since the plugins were already installed before our recent VB update, I followed the info in Elenna's post.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=102

We are running VB version 3.7.4.

[alfaowner]

yep, with <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" /> it now works in 3.8.2

[DarkStarr]

getting this error when users try to RSVP:

Fatal error: Call to a member function shareads() on a non-object in /home/darkstarr/domains/westernpariders.com/public_html/includes/functions.php(5721) : eval()'d code on line 15

Here's what line 5721 looks like:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('global_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;

annnd line 15 is blank..

Gonna take a looksy and read the thread.. otherwise all your event related mods are great

[DarkStarr]

reinstalled, works.. sorry.

[Elenna]

I realize that this feature is added in the new version of this mod, but I am not prepared to install the new version yet.

Does anyone know how to get the RSVP time to not update when someone just changes their RSVP comment? I would like it to only update when someone changes their RSVP from one option to another (Yes to No, etc).
