Calendar Enhancements - Farcaster's Event Attendance v2

This modification will allow your members to RSVP to events on the vBulletin calendar. By default, members can respond "Yes," "No," or "Maybe," as to whether or not they will be able to attend an event, but you can modify or add to the list of responses members are presented with as you desire. Below are a list of features with new features in version 2.0 highlighted.

• Specify some or all of your calendars to use the RSVP system.
• Set whether an event accepts RSVPs during event creation / edit.
• Allow members to specify if they will be bringing a guest.
• Event owners can set the maximum number of guests each member may bring.
• Events can be set to close RSVPs on the day of the event or before.
• RSVP comments (up to 65k character limit, configurable)
• Timestamped RSVPs
• Moderators and event owners can remove member RSVPs from events.
• Attendance list can be set to display member avatars.
• Improved handling of differing timezones and daylight saving times.
• Configurable Response options. You aren't stuck with Yes, No, Maybe. You can setup whatever responses you want.
• When events are updated, RSVPs will not be deleted unless the event moved to a different day, or the end date of a ranged or recurring event was shortened. Changing the recurring options will still automatically delete the associated RSVPs.
• The ability to suppress RSVP deletions on event update entirely, if you wish, although this isn't recommended.
• You can now specify a maximum number of attendees for an event. After the maximum is reached, you can configure members to either receive an error or have their response (RSVP) automatically changed to something else. This could be used to create a wait-list bucket, for instance. There won't be any automated system to move members from the wait-list if a space becomes available in this revision, however.
• The time stamp on the RSVP is no longer changed unless the member when the member simply updates his comments. The date will only be changed if the member changes from one response to another (i.e. Yes to No).

Please be aware that the following modifications currently WILL NOT work with this revision until they have been updated:

Farcaster's Event Attendance & vb Event Forums Integration

I checked out the Nexia site and have to say...CONFUSING. Every thread is locked and it is not obvious where we should submit suggestions for improvement to the MODs. I tried posting over there and got my hands slapped. Guess I'll post here.

Try to reduce the number of queries the old mod had.

[mattpist]

yes, id be willing to donate to this as well, especially if we can get integration with the forums. count me in for 50 bones.

Nice mod, im at work right now so i cant install it, but i have a question. We dont use avatars on our website www.uwclan.co.uk we use our gamercards from xbox.com.

Basically all im asking is, is it possible to replace avatars for gamercards?

I'll donate to this as well (Full integration of calendar, RSVP and Event forums)

I would like this to be integrated with vb events. Currently using 1.2.2 to get the eintegration working. Ill donate to see the latest version working with vb events.

[edfig]

Is anyone up to the task? I too would donate.... =)

From this thread and related threads, plus from personal correspondence with other members, it is very clear that there are a large number of vb.org members that would like to donate substantial amounts to the coder that takes this project on.

HEy tmc,

What is to prevent you to copy and paste your script for these edits and those that have a clue can try and do similar edits? Mind you, I am not one of those that has a clue but that may help all of us! Thanks
