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:

I want ti install this on vB 3.8.1

Question I have is when vB 3.8.2 comes out, will I have to re-install it, or will it be already there working? (I dont want to have to re-install every month when the latest vB comes out.

Thanks for the response in advance.

You shouldnt need to re-install stuff, you may need to re-update as the modification improves or gets new features

Ok I am still at a loss as to why, this event tool, cannot write the url of the event to a thread within a designated forum.

Parseing the title into threadtitle, and within its content have link back to the event calendar item.

Surely this would be easy enough to do, and could solve this bridge issue.

I have no interest in the thread being open or closed, just viewable by forum members.

Also, can we have it so that it displays on forum home, as do our normal calendar events ? and perhaps listed in CYB's stats mod, this is just such a superb mod ( Farcasters events ) that I dont want to disable, it for fear of no one ever finding it.

As it is most of our users dont even look at the calendars

Even something simple, like auto sig add for events users have created.

Can you print out the list of attendees the day of the event (like a guestlist)

PRINT LIST option?

[TimberFloorAu]

for some reason when a member of ours posts an event, the RSVP doesnt show, it states RSVP is closed for this event.

Any idea why please

"The response you gave to this event was not in the list of valid responses"

I've just had the same fault reported to me by my members. Checking it out for myself I have verified the message and it appears that Leo Brasil has a point. What should we do? Should we re-install the product?


Edit: I re-installed the product (allowed overwrite) and no different. Tried editing an existing event to RSVP to and adding a new event to do the same. Nada.

[Leo Brazil]

starman,

I've tried everything I could to make it work but nothing. I'm on still the same.

May be Farcaster is reading our posts here and come up with some suggestions.

Let's see.

[starman?]

Let's hope so Leo, as my members are so used to the RSVP system now and the alternative is unthinkable.

Hi there,

I was wondering if it was possible to show a user's additional usergroup next to their name on the signup page.... can you tell me how to do this if it is indeed possible?

Thanks

Do either of you have the ability to show me the debug information on the page when this is happening or give me steps to reproduce the problem? Does it only happen for certain users? Does it happen for single day, ranged, recurring or all events?
