Support
[hr]value[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

How would i set the Allow users to signup option to be checked by default

When the job is ran to get character day from the army, it only gets 1 person at a time. Is this normal? This is what I see when I run it manually.

I am having this same issue.

It said that it installed correctly, but for the life of me I cannot find where in the forum I or any other user can set up an event for signing up.

I am wondering if by chance it did not install correctly.

Thanks,

You create new calendar event and check the box to allow signups.

hello,

nobody an idea,what we can do?

[slick368]

I got this installed without incident, but when I add an event and check to allow for sign-ups, I get a message that sign-up is not available for this event.

I had this installed before and it worked perfect. I don't know of anything that I have done differently, except installed a template mod for the calendar. I reverted those templates back and re-installed the mod with the same result. I have also checked permissions and set them appropriately.

Anybody have an idea what might be wrong. This is an awesome mod and I want to continue using it. I would appreciate any help I can get!

[Gryphon]

I added a feature that prevents people from signing up more than a week in advance to prevent people from just registering for every event on the calendar and then never visit the forum again.

There is no option to configure it...that I can remember, I will see about making it configurable in a future version.

[slick368]

I have set up multiple events to make sure I was not running into the built in limitation for event signup. When I set it up for 5 days from today, I get a message that the signup for the event is no longer available. When I exceed the 7 day window, then I get dual messages... the event is no longer available for signup AND the event is not yet available for signup due to the 7 day limitation.

I have checked and re-checked everything, but nothing seems to give me a different result. And... yes, with each test, I checked the box to allow event signup.
