This hack will allow your users to RSVP "Yes," "No," or "Maybe," for events posted on your forum calendar. You can configure which calendars RSVP should be enabled or excluded from, and on each event you can also specify whether this is an RSVP event. Unlike the old Event Attendance script, this hack will work on all types of events whether they are single day, ranged or recurring.
For ranged and recurring events, members are able to RSVP for a single day of the event. So, if the recurring event occurs every Monday, your members can RSVP separately for each recurrence. For ranged events that span more than one day, members can sign up for individual days of the event. Thus, if the event had a duration of 5 days, a member could signup for only one or two of the days, if he chose.
This hack is known to work with 3.6.x, and may work with 3.5.x, but no support is offered for this version at this time.

1-If someone changes from yes to no, it does not change
2-I excluded some calendars, and it displays Allow users to RSVP and worst that checkbox which I disabled as per above, shows up in those caledars edit as checked.

Lionel, I cannot reproduce the first problem you mentioned. I can take a closer look if you setup a test account and let me take a look at a sample event where the problem happens. Send me a PM.
As to the second problem, even though the checkbox may still show, it will not show the RSVP signup box on events in an excluded calendar. But, it would definitely be a good idea for me to remove the RSVP checkbox on excluded forums.
The script has been updated to handle links without the "day" parameter. The new behavior is as such:
- For single day and ranged events, if the day parameter is not passed, then the RSVP form will use the event start date.
- For recurring events, if the day parameter is not passed, the RSVP form will determine the next valid occurrence starting on the current day and searching out up to 365 days. The next occurrence date will then be used.
