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
Farcaster's Event Attendance: Email Add-On

Requirements

Upgrade Instructions:

Recently, and I've changed nothing to my knowledge... My community members have reported the following:

I will have an event scheduled for a specific date/time... Ranged or Reoccurring...

Someone will RSVP and only see themselves on the list.... but others will look at the event and see multiple people RSVPing on the list.... other times you might see yourself and 2-3 others on the event... but someone else might look at the eevnt and see 20+ people on the event?!?!

Is this a known issue?

More information....

It appears to have started with Day Light Savings!!!! People in timezones that did not adjust are being viewed separately than those in the timezones that shifted forward 1 hour!!!

So, if you are in Phoenix Arizona... you and everyone else that have not been effected by a DLS hour change will see who RSVPed.... but by only those that have not changed time. If you are in Los Angeles and you HAD to move the clocks forward by one hour... you will only see those people that ALSO had to move their clocks forward on the RSVP list.

This means, the 2 separate groups are not able to see eachother on the RSVP list.

I have ISOLATED the problem to that....

I assume we can call this a bug.

Hope that helps.

Edfig, it does help and I am looking into the problem now.

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.

Is this a confirmed bug or you cant reproduce it? Its very frustrating as it worked for a week then just stopped. This is one of the most useful mods.

When I post an event, members are not currently able to rsvp. I checked the settings for the mod, and I made sure that Yes is checked for members being able to rsvp. Still there is no rsvp option showing on posted events. Hope to get this fixed soon. Thanks.

Looks good thanks!

In the previous version of this mod, I edited the RSVP bit and calendar RSVP templates to format the responses a little differently (in a table format).

Can anyone point me to the right templates to edit for this version?

The old ones started with:

Calendar RSVP

<if condition="$rsvp_yes">
    <b>$vbphrase[calendar_rsvpd] $vbphrase[yes]: $rsvp_yes_count </b>

and

Calendar RSVP Bit

    <li><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$rsvp[userid]">$rsvp[username]</a>
