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:

I have an issue where if there are multiple events on a calender and they RSVP for one event it RSVP's them for all events on that day...

anything i can do to fix this?

[CrashfAB]

I got this all installed last night and just love it and running good under 3.8

One question I would like to remove the "no" from being shown when somebody clicks no. I assume I need to edit the calander_showeventsbit template but for the life of me I cannot figure it out...

[CrashfAB]

Ok for those who wish to remove "no" from the event simply go to the "calandar_rsvp" and remove the last IF conditional.

Ok, i'm no longer getting the other error after reinstalling several times. Now i'm just receiving this error

"The response you gave to this event was not in the list of valid responses. Please contact the forum administrator if you believe you have received this message in error."

[Karm4]

I'd hate to bump but its important, i have a lot of events rolling out that are costing a lot of money and i need a good head count. If i cant get this to work can someone recommend something else - i use vb 3.8.4 - Thanks!

[Karm4]

Anyone have a fix? Anyone having this issue? Anything... Bump.

karm, we had that too, it was conflicting with our vbrules plugin. i would just disable plugins one by one until you find which one is conflicting

Wish someone would post which plugins, id hate to disable and lose the settings, ya know. Well.. If anyone has some more information on it, please let me know, this would be a great feature!

I did all the edits, but when someone tries to rsvp they get the message:

"The response you gave to this event was not in the list of valid responses. Please contact the forum administrator if you believe you have received this message in error."

Even with a yes, maybe or no checked with a reason this still occurs.

P.S I'm using this on the latest vb 3.8

[SVTCobraLTD]

Maybe I missed it, but how do you allow attachments to be posted at the same time as the event??
