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:

Farcaster's Event Attendance & vb Event Forums Integration

Have you done this and if not do you plan to? I could modify this on my own to do as I need and will provide it to you to add to this if you want. Please let me know.

Thanks,

The Event Forums MOD is what this sounds like and I am waiting for that too! Farcaster...any thoughs about timing on the revamp of the Event Forums module? No pressure, just curious how things are progressing. I'd love to be a beta tester if needed.

Our group really needs a way to mark an event as canceled. This would trigger emails to those who signed up. It'd be really neat if we could extend the user profile to include a secondary email address field, so we could optionally have it use that instead. This would allow my users to enter their SMS email address and get immediately notified via SMS of an event cancelation when out in the field. The email portion may be more appropriate to integrate into the Email Add-on.

Thanks!

This is correct, I have also confirmed this error.. It seems to be a problem with the form tag. If you add this to the top of the plugin named "Add RSVPs to Event Description":

if ($_REQUEST['what'] != '') { return; }

It sort of fixes it, meaning, you have to click delete twice before you get to the confirmation page..

Rather buggy here..

one question for future versions:

when i create a recurring event,
is there a way to delete every time when the event ends all RSVPs?

Example:

i have an event that replays every 2 days, every time when the event ends, all RSVPs gets delete, and the users have to re-enrole to the events.



is this possible?

How can I allow guest to post?

Excellent Idea! We have so many Different State GTG's that this will be a big help.. Look forward to it getting out of beta.

Thanks!
