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 have this running on VB3.8.3 and it works fine. I just have 1 question....

When creating an event, by default, the "Allow users to RSVP" check box is checked. I would like to have the checkbox cleared by default as the majority of our events do not require RSVP. Is there a way I can do this? I have not found it in the settings anywhere. I don't mind changing the code as long as I know where to look.

2. When logging in to our site, we used to have a "status of RSVP" wherein it would show events for the next 4 days or so, and show whether you've RSVP'd Yes/No/Maybe.
Is anyone familiar with how to do this?

If you are receiving this error:

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Log Out Home

Even though you know you have permission, are the administrator or had permission before and suddenly lost it, this may solve the problem.

go to your calendar_rsvp_form in your Style Manager
look for:

<form action="calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=$eventinfo[eventid]&day=$rsvp_day" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="getinfo" />
<input type="hidden" name="cdo" value="rsvp" />
<input type="hidden" name="day" value="$rsvp_day" />
<input type="hidden" name="e" value="$eventinfo[eventid]" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

above that code put:

</form>

I dont know why or how this get undone, but it did in mine, this fixed it. hope this helps someone.

[m_k]

the </form> was not there in my template, but adding it unfortunately had no effect on my particular problem

[Nysom]

How would I list users that have not yet RSVP'd?

[theparentpack]

Set up a test forum, and test it out.

I have this installed and it works as I want it. Pretty cool and will be setting Installed as soon as this is posted


I have a question or need if someone can help me

I want to link the Events Posted to a Thread of my choice.

Say a Forum Called Events Listing with a forum ID of 12

How do I modify to allow each new Event posted to be auto Linked to the above forum?

I do not want them to appear in the forum as a normal post, but to be a simply link with the that when clicked Like the below screenshot
Attachment 105343

The Post shows the Title and when clicked it goes directly to the Classified Post in vbclassified.

I want the same thing for the Events posted, so they will be viewable in a forum as the title appears to be a thread but when clicked hits the Actual Events Calendar


Please help, Billions of Millions of thousands of dollars is at a cross roads here, if I do not figure this out, today, I will be forced to jump off my swivel chair and hurt my already damaged ego :erm:
