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.

Revision History:
v3.0.0a (BETA) - Updated to work on vb4. Corrected a number of bugs related to determining correct occurrence date. Corrected event save bug.
Very sorry for the delay folks. I've been crazy busy with some freelance stuff that I have had to devote a lot of time to. Please bare with me. If your familiar with PHP and want to try something though and see if it fixes the problem for the date/time issues in other languages, go into the plugin "GETDAY_EVENT: Add RSVPs and Form to Event" and find all instances of vbdate. It will look something like: "vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $userdate, false, false, true);" Change the fourth option after vbdate to true. If you try that, let me know if it helps. Be sure to find all of the instances of vbdate -- I believe there are six of them.
Thanks Farcaster. It worked and now the dates are shown correctly. I've also modified from 'Y-m-d' to 'd-m-Y' that's the format in use in Italy. Maybe this one should be put in a field so that everyone could set it as preferred.
Farcaster I've tried the mod and, after the last patch about dates, I haven't found any other bug. What about promote to a 1.0 status? There's something missing?

I still have "Array" appearing instead of the actual RSVP responses for each user. While it's great that I have the totals of each RSVP bucket, it would really be nice to see who RSVP'ed for each option.
First of all, Thank you, Farcaster! I've been using previous versions of this mod for years, and it has always been great!
I'm having an issue with redirects after a user clicks on the submit button for an RSVP.
When they click on "Submit", the get a 404 error, with the page they are sent to being /forum.php&redirect=1.
To get past this for now, I commented out the "Prevents User Response Removal on redirect" section. The user no longer gets the 404, but they are sent to the forum main page.
Is this what should be happening, or should the user be redirected back to the event page?
(I also have VB Event Forums installed if that has any impact on this issue)
Seems like farcaster disappeared. I gave him administrator access to my forum to troubleshoot the array issue way back when this mod was new and he said he knew how to fix it and would get back to me. Haven't heard from him since and I don't see him posting in here either. I just don't understand why my environment is different than everyone else's environment. Wish I would've stayed with vB 3.8 at this point...
