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.

List of attended events in User Profile (Post #11) (maybe later)

This would be super cool !

Pleeeeeeeeease add it

[davewolf]

could an option be added when you click on the [I will be attending this event] you can add text ?

For my flight sim forum i wouldlike the attendees to be able to add which flight or element of flight they want to join (lead or wingman etc)

Thanks for this cool addon.

got the attendee's working, but have a question.

where do i edit to change the look of the output. i don't like the "username, 1"

i would prefer it to be something like "username +1".

can anyone point me in the right direction?

In Plugin System | Plugin Manager

Find/Edit: Event Attendance - show/enroll

 $roll[$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']] = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] . ", " . $inparty;

to your way of liking.

awesome! thank you very much.

[blacklancer]

two new issues....

1 - it isn't adding up how many people will show...it just stays on "0 people attending"

2 - even if no guests are coming, it still puts the ", ". anyway to make it leave that out if no guests are coming??

[rabidkevin]

Does anyone have a modified output that has multiple columns? Like if I have 60 people enrolled for the event the single column of names is HUGE. I'd like to break it up every 20 or 30 enrollments in to a maximum of like 4 columns. Anyone help??

[flapjack]

Is there any way to make this display on like a seprate page from the event itself?

I'd like the list of those attending to display on my front page of my site, so people will know who goes to the party. (if you're interested in helping, http://www.pnplan.xtracrispy.com/ is the board I'm attempting to do this on, and I can be reached easily via AIM at sxeflapjack)

Thanks in advance...
