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.

I had to uninstall and then install again. Everything is working good but on the members CP before there would be a list of RSVP events, that does not show up anymore, did I do something? or forget something? Talking about a list of RSVP events on at the bottom of each members CP page. I like that a lot and want it back. Help!
A specific example of what happens... I set up a ranged "test event" to happen every monday between 2 and 3 am. Starting Dec 10 and going through to Dec 31.
On December 10 I select yes.
Then when I click on the event on the Dec. 24th calendar, it ALREADY shows that I have RSVP'd yes and the RSVP reads:
For 12-10-2007, You RSVP'd: Yes
You may change your RSVP status below.
Yes Maybe No
If I change the RSVP to No -- it changes it on the 10th. For whatever reason the additional events CAN NOT be rsvp'd to individually as the hack says they can -- at least not on my site.
Hmmm... I guess I'm not going to get a response to this at all ?
Well, I believe that I figured out the problem for anyone else who may be experiencing it... since I also have the vB events mod installed, that mod only creates ONE thread per calendar entry, so all of the occurrences are combined in one discussion thread, which causes the event attendance to NOT work for a recurring event. It causes only the FIRST instance of a recurring event to be updated for the entire series.
