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).

This release marks the first major revision to this hack in a long time, and many of you have been requesting these features for a long time. To all of you, thank you for your patience and I hope you enjoy the new version.

[Galeon]

Is it require vb Event Forums?

[Farcaster]

No, it is completely seperate from the vB Event Forums hack. And in fact, this version won't work with that modification yet.

Thank you very much for the mod. A very usefull addition for VB community.

I loved the mod ever since 3.6.x - one question though.

I'd love to install the mod but one little tiny thing keeps me away from it.

When we have a, let's say, 3 day single event (camping) ... It's the same event, but users have to sign for every day separately.

Would it be possible to add a feature allowing to add a several day event as a single event. So that users could RSVP for all the duration of the event with a single "sign up"?

Thank you.

[Farcaster]

crkgb,

That wouldn't be too difficult to add. I could make an option box on the event that would allow the event owner to set a ranged event as a single RSVP. I'll look into getting that in the next revision.

[crkgb]

Such an option would solve the problem completely. Thank you very much Sir.

[OcR Envy]

Great mod, I remember the older version. Installed.

[Kiint]

I've been using your previous version for a long time now and I'll be installing this one when I get home from work.

Many thanks for working on this.

[Caerydd]

Big thumbs up, although personally I can't do anything until this and Event Forums are working together again on 3.7.x
