Calendar Enhancements - Farcaster's Event Attendance v3 (for vb4)

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.

Features

• 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.
• Ability to 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.

Requirements
vBulletin v4.0.0 or higher.

That would be great! I can pay for that

• Fixed comment bug that caused {rsvp:var rsvp.comment} to be displayed instead of actual comment.
• Resolved problematic array_walk usage that seemed to be causing trouble for some users on vb4.1.3+.
• Special characters not displayed correctly in comments.
• "Will you be able to attend on %1$s?"

Farcaster,
Is there anyway you may be able to hlep me with my problem here?
Thank you.

I figured it out finally, after two nights.
It was my "user title", some had bad image links. Once the links were fixed all alignment was as well.
Strange.

I haven?t had any problems like the others have described, everything has always worked great But it worries me to see people having trouble. I am using version 4.1.5 patch 1. Should I upgrade the rsvp from rsvp_3.0 to rsvp_3.1 or let sleeping dogs lie.
Thanks

If you didn't have the php warnings or errors on your system, you're fine. You would have only possibly seen a problem with the time display if your system used an international date format. Other than that, you might want to run the update so that comments that contain characters like "<" are displayed correctly.

Great MOD, thx Farcaster. No errors so far.

one question: if i go and edit the event, i lose all the confirmations. is that by design or?

thx

[yiannis99]

Thank you Farncaster, very useful mod!

Is it possible to have the "YES" option in bold green text color, the "NO" in red and the "MAYBE" in orange?
