Calendar Enhancements - Farcaster's Event Attendance

A BETA version 2.0 is now available in the 3.7 modification area.

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.

When I click on the name of someone that has sign up for an event I get an error instead of going to their cp. (ERROR 404 - PAGE NOT FOUND)

And the Avatar does not show up.

Your other hack works. I do see a person yes at the bottom of the CP.

EZD - what link it is trying to ponit you to, when clicking on a user's name?

[EZD]

It is pointing to member.php?u=1
For my CP

And image.php?u=3&dateline=1195097556
For my Avatar

[Elenna]

Compare the link to your profile to the link it's giving you - what is the difference between them?

Reproducible, documented bugs are supported. I do not personally support any customization, but other members who use the mod may be able to help. As far as your first question, it was designed to RSVP to individual days, not the whole event. It is possible to change, and if you would like to have it customized, I am available for freelance contract work.

[EZD]

Easy check
Pointing to
member.php?u=1

Should be
forum/member.php?u=1

Where do I add forum/

Not a coder.

[EZD]

OK I think I got it

In the code for
calendar_rsvp_bit

I added red. Can someone tell me if that is good. It did fix the CP link problem.

Farcaster, I think this is a great modification...

I know NOTHING about coding at all -- so have not in any way tried to customize the mod, but I am having a reproducible bug in that when an event is repeated over a series of days, the user can NOT RSVP to each date separately. It is my understanding that they are supposed to be able to.

What happens instead is that while the dates appear on each distinct day of the calendar, the subsequent events only point back to the first date and response, not to their own thread.

Obviously something is wrong, and I'd really love to get this problem fixed. I would really like it to be able to respond to the individual days as it was apparently designed to do.

EZD,

If that worked, that should be just fine! It looks like one of your config settings is set to your home page, while your forum (with the RSVPs) are in /forum/

A specific example of what happens... I set up a ranged "test event" to happen every monday between 2 and 3 am. Starting Dec 10 and going through to Dec 31.

On December 10 I select yes.

Then when I click on the event on the Dec. 24th calendar, it ALREADY shows that I have RSVP'd yes and the RSVP reads:

For 12-10-2007, You RSVP'd: Yes
You may change your RSVP status below.
Yes Maybe No

If I change the RSVP to No -- it changes it on the 10th. For whatever reason the additional events CAN NOT be rsvp'd to individually as the hack says they can -- at least not on my site.
