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
Farcaster's Event Attendance: Email Add-On

Requirements
vBulletin v3.6.x or higher.

Upgrade Instructions:

Does Event Attendance v2 require:

Event Attendance & vb Event Forums Integration
and
Event Attendance: Email Add-On

or is this version an all-in-one solution?
Thanks...I'll be adding as soon as I get confirmation.

[Elenna]

No, it does not require those. I am not 100% sure that those two add-ons will work with version 2. If you need their functionality, I recomment the earlier version.

Hello

This is a great Mod,,, But I do have 2 questions....

1- Warning: array_walk() [function.array-walk]: Unable to call array_lower() - function does not exist in [path]/calendar.php(1224) : eval()'d code on line 473
This is What i get using it into vb 3.8

2- Would it work in the new vb enviroment "vb4.0"??

Installed and tested. Works great. Took about 1 minute to install. Marked as installed.

Thx,

Hello

I have a vb3.8.4 board and this mod works great on it.

But (!) if the users changed their RSVP, these RSVP are anywhere (at "yes", "no" and "maybe") ...
I.e.: "Will you be able to attend on 10/31/2009?" I take "yes"... But if I change this, my RSVP is at two choices (i.e. at "yes" and "maybe").
What I have to do to edit this, so there is just one RSVP after change?

Hello

if Any one have this Error:

Warning: array_walk() [function.array-walk]: Unable to call array_lower() - function does not exist in [path]/calendar.php(1224) : eval()'d code on line 473

And if you are using 3.8.4:

• download the mod from admincp
• open it via "notebook" and search for :
  • function array_lower(&$item, $key)
    replace it with
    //function array_lower(&$item, $key)
  • array_walk($valid_responses,'array_lower');
    replace it with
    //array_walk($valid_responses,'array_lower');

And ur Done

IMHO this is the best mod available and my users depend on it. I also got the database error but found that by removing some other mods it's fine. I suggest anyone who really wants it should simply deactivate other mods until they find the one causing the problem.

Thanks to Farcaster for a most useful mod. :up:

Configurable Response options. You aren't stuck with Yes, No, Maybe. You can setup whatever responses you want.

How about being able to sort responses by Usergroup. Any ideas?

Hi Farecaster, I use your mod from a long time now and I would like to port it on the new VB4. Do you plan to release a version for VB4? Since it's essential for me I'll wait until you release the VB4 version...

Thanks

Same question as andreamarucci, I won't upgrade until I can run this myself. My users would revolt. I hope you can find time to continue this great mod.
