Event Attendance 2.0

This is an update version of the vB 3.0x "Event Attendance" hack found HERE. Thanks to Kentaurus for allowing redistribution.

I have rebuild/rewritten the hack for vB 3.5 - now it is no longer a hack but a plugin. No template modifications and no code modifications required.

This plugin allows users to enroll for events. When a new event is created, the user can decide if this feature is available for this event.

This plugin includes (from the 3.0x Version and Thread):

• Links to userprofile (by buro9)
• Counter for enrolled users (by Sanni)
• and most (all?) fixes from old version
• no additional queries! (for reading, if you enroll/cancel there is one additional query)

It does not include (from the old thread):

• Fix for reoccuring events (complete redesign needed)
• Addon for guest-count (I don't need this, feel free to re-add)

Additional Features:

• Event Attendance can be deactivated for reoccuring events (see Options in AdminCP)
• Enroll/Cancel can be deactivated for events that are already started (AdminCP)
• Sorting of enrolled people can be switched via AdminCP
• All text is now in phrases

Installation:

• Go to ACP/ Plugin System/ Manage Products.
• Click Add/Import Product, select the product XML File you downloaded here and click Import.
• Thats all - Have fun!

Known Problems:

• calendar_roll and calendar_rollbit templates are not cached. I've not found a way to do this by using a plugin. But this is not really an issue.
• Aug. 24th: Bug found by endquote in post#36: Typo in var name, this will cause Event enrollment to be disable at the wrong time (depending on time zome). Will be fixed in next release.

If you upgrade from 3.0x:

• This plugin is fully database compatible to the old hack, if you upgrade no data will be lost.
• You need to revert your calendar templates: calendar_showeventsbit, calendar_roll and calendar_rollbit.
• If you do not want to revert your calendar_weekly_event and calendar_monthly_event please use "Mark enrolled in month/weekly view"=NO in Event Attendance Options to avoid event to be marked twice ("*").

Feature Requests:
I list the feature requests here - this does not mean that I will code it. If you are a coder feel free to code it and release it as addon or allow me to include it here.

• Change text after event is over. (Post #21) (very likely)
• "It would be better if the plugin wouldn't let you add yourself after it's ended rather than started." (Post #35) (very likely)
• "Another suggestion would be to have an admin option to just set all events to have the attendance functionality, rather than providing an option when posting." (Post #35) (very likely)
• List of attended events in User Profile (Post #11) (maybe later)
• CVS-Export of attending users (Post #8) (unlikely)

Aug. 15th: Beta-Tag removed, no code changes.

Please click INSTALL if you like this plugin.

I want to be able to take the username, put my custom profile field, say... city next to it, i.e:

Code:
$username, $field10

Try:
$bbuserinfo[username], $bbuserinfo[fieldxx]

So the 2 are now working together with DR's fix?

I'm desperately hoping someone codes a piece where an admin can remove people that have signed up to an event and you don't want them to have attenedance for whatever reason. Anyone?

For me it works, except the html formatting error that I get, (read few posts back).

[dodgechargerfan]

Getting a similar html problem here - but otherwise things seem to be working so far on my test board..

Right after the text of the event, I get this:

*Event text here*<p><strong></strong></p>

<ul>
<li><a href="member.php?u=331">dodgechargerfan</a></li>
</ul>

Edit: If I click the "unattend" link in the calendar event, this gets left in the thread:

<p><strong></strong></p>

<p><i></i></p>


Hopefully, this helps steer someone towards a resolution. I'll keep digging to see what I can figure out, but I'm no expert.

BTW, Thanks for everyone's work on these plug-ins and the plug-in for the plug-ins.

Also, this:
"Works: You can Attend or UnAttend in either view, showthread or Calendar.
"

Does not work for me. I don't see a link for the attend/unattend in the showthread.

While viewing the thread, I don't see any link to the calendar entry at all..

[dodgechargerfan]

Well, the code that's doing that is in the "calendar_roll" template.
Not sure why it's not working though..

WEIRD Maybe you can export your combined products as vbEventForums Attendance or sth like that and attach it? Maybe if I then uninstall mine and reinstall that one it could work?

I agree... I desperatly want these to work together....

This is a great hack. I am looking forard to implementing it on my site. Thanks!

Naw that just returns the field of the user that is logged in....

But I've made some progress! If I replace username with say field14 in this part of the plugin:

if ($_REQUEST['ea'] == "attend")
        	{
			if ($vbulletin->userinfo[userid])
			{
		        $roll[$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']] = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];        
			}
			else

Then it returns the field14 info (but not the username of course)...trouble is, I can't get it to pass both the field14 info AND the username info ;(

How do I get both variables to show up!?!?!

[|oR|Greg]

What about something like this?

if ($_REQUEST['ea'] == "attend")
        	{
			if ($vbulletin->userinfo[userid])
			{
		        $roll[$vbulletin->userinfo['field14']] = $vbulletin->userinfo['field14'];
$roll[$vbulletin->userinfo['field15']] = $vbulletin->userinfo['field15'];
$roll[$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']] = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];        
			}
			else
