Add-On Releases - Farcaster's Event Attendance & vb Event Forums Integration

This is an add-on to the vB Event Forums hack by Evercraft that will allow it to work with Farcaster's Event Attendance. This hack disables two of the Event Forum plugins and adds two integrated versions of the plugins in their place.

Prerequisites:

• Farcaster's Event Attendance 1.2.0
• vB Event Forums 3.3

Installation Instructions:

Upgrade Instructions:
1. Use the Product Manager to import the product file product-rah_rsvp_forums_addon_1_1_1.xml and allow overwrites.

Uninstallation Instructions:

1. Uninstall the Product.
2. If Event Forums are installed, re-enable the following two plugins:

• Display Event Details on Thread Page
• redirect links to individual events to their threads instead

Revision Log:
1.0.0 - Initial Release
1.0.1 - A bug that occured on some boards which caused incorrect dates to display on the RSVP form has been resolved.
1.1.0 - 02/20/07 - Minor Revision - Modified the add-on for version 1.2.0 of the Event Attendance modification.
1.1.1 - 07/13/07 - Bug Fix - Corrected fetch_phrase query problem that was causing excessive amounts of queries to be added to the showthread display.

Be sure to have marked the check box for 'allow users to rsvp' in the event.

That is checked. I redid everything and still not showing the RSVP form.

When I try to reinstall this product, I get the error below:

The following dependencies were not met:

   1. This product is not compatible with version 2.0.1 of the product rah_calendar_rsvp. (Compatible starting with 1.2.0 / Incompatible with 1.3.0 and greater)

I think you've installed the wrong version of the rsvp plugin. What version of vb do you have this installed on?

vb3.8.6

I'm sorry I never responded. I don't think I ever got the email notification. Did you ever get this working?

[SVTCobraLTD]

Yes for me, but no for everyone else....

So when I try and add an event to my forums it works fine. If I log into a secondary account I have that is labeled as Senior Member, I can post an event no problem. However, If I log into a user's account that is just Member status, I get the above error. The web address it is trying to access is "http://www..com/forums/calendar.php?do=update&e="

Anyone have any thoughts. I checked the usergroup settings for Members and it says Yes for posting, viewing and editing events. I tried both Yes and No for moderation. I tried reimporting that product to over write the existing and still no luck.

The thread does come through as moderated for my approval. Once I approve it, it is a regular thread and not an event thread.

[SamirDarji]

Hmmm...I never got moderation to work correctly, so that might have something to do with it. Have you tried completely deleting the mod and then re-installing? It seems like some of the code is not right somewhere.

[englishtalk]

Not to state the obvious but....I assume that this doesn't work on VB 4.x and that there's no replacement and nothing in the pipeline...?

There's the standalone event attendance for vb4 here:

But I don't see any event forums mod, so that may not be available.

I'm looking for the event forums mod. It's so essential, I can't understand why no one's had a crack (or a few cracks) at a VB4 version.
