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.

Yes

So the rsvp part of it seems to be working fine...hmmm...that means it's got to be some sort of interferance between the event forum and the rsvp plugin. Try removing all rsvp plugins and see if you can create an event.

Below is an error I get when someone tries to post an event. Keep in mind, it works fine with some users:

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.7:

Is this without rsvp installed?

No it is installed because when I make a post, the RSVP system shows up. Same with some others.

[SamirDarji]

Disable the rsvp system and see what that does. If there's a problem with rsvp disabled/removed, then the problem is actually with the event forums plugin itself.

I have an issue with recurring events. Seems that if the first instance of the event has occurred, it will not let you rsvp. I can do it fine on single events or even recurring events where the first event hasn't started yet. But if it is recurring event and the first one of the series date has passed, it won't let you register for any of them. Any ideas? Is there a work around for this or am I just missing something?

[SamirDarji]

Hmm...that's interesting. Have you tried editing the event, unchecking the rsvp box for the event, saving it. And then editing it again and re-checking the box?

[lafsunlmtd]

Hey everyone! Not sure if anyone has had this issue, but I am having a problem when there is more than one event for a day and I click on that day, it gives me a php fatal error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare array_prep() (previously declared in /forextips.com/forums/calendar.php(1377) : eval()'d code:1) in /forextips.com/forums/calendar.php(1377) : eval()'d code on line 5.

This only happens if there is more than one event in a single day. I can go in and remove this line of code:
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('calendar_getday_event') ) ? eval($hook) : false;

and it fixes the problem, but also removes the rsvp functionality from the events. Does anyone have any idea? This is only in day view when there is more than 1 event. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[SamirDarji]

Interesting. Have you tried removing and reinstalling? I'm using the event forums version, but I don't have this problem.
