Event attendance

Request by: DaveLogic

With this hack when you create an event you can give the users an option to "register" to the event. Then you can view which people have registered to that event.

This could be used so you create an event and then other people notify that they will be attending to the event. You can then keep track of all the people that would be attending each event.

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission

Nope, I just double checked and didn't find anything. Anyone have a solution?

There is nothing wrong with the script, that is the way it is supposed to work so, there is no fix. There are already WAY too many hacks done to this script as it is so it really needs to be re-witten completely.

I didn't say there was anything "wrong" with the script. I asked for a solution to confirmed attendances repeating with repeating events.

Iagree that it would be great if someone re-wrote and re-released the code to include the fixes and modification that have been discussed.

But as for "way too many" mods being done to the script, like any Mod, that's the whole point: start with a foundation and modify to suit your needs.

My need is something that doesn't repeat confirmed attendance with confirmed events.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

I seemed to have got this working, but i cannot figure out what i could have messed up. There are a couple of things that seem wrong. First off, I cannot view any of the events logged in as admin or as one of my test users. It seems to take me to the edit mode. Also, the date is messed up cuz in the edit mode it shows the date to edit, but no dropdown (only text box) for the day and nothing is selectable in the dropdown for the year.

any help is appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Glad you made progress.

It's hard to give some direction on what might be going wrong w/out seeing all the changes, but usually, when I've been hacking away, making changes then trying to unchanged them, I'll usually just start fresh: upload the original, unmodified code; then give it a fresh go.

If your code is behaving as you've described, it still sounds like you're missing some end brackets, semi-colons, etc. But hard to give you any indication (without seeing all of your code), where that may be happening.

wow, this has been the hardest one ive done so far. now i got it almost there. everythingis working except the dropdown for forum options. i cannot select anything to go there (edit, delete, move) browser shows error on line 588 in calendar.php but i dont see anything there that i edited at all. hmmm

[djsydeburnz]

i also cannot seem to find in the roll call.txt file i downloaded today where i put in the code for [I will be attending this even with XXX guests "submit"] but i can see it when viewing a test event. i was maybe hoping to edit the text.

[djsydeburnz]

after i select that i will be attending, it will allow me to use the dropdown menu now on the right (edit, delte, move)....very wierd.

oh, and thanks for the help so far!

djsydeburnz, I also did the hacks sequentially. That is, I just did the hacks in the original mod, then tested it to make sure it worked like that (it did); the performed the changes/corrections on page 2 of this thread, tested (still worked); and finally added in some mods discussed in pages 12-14, testing again.

Taking the hack step-by-step, testing between each new revision, will also make it clearer where errors might have been made.

Also, be careful depending on which method of cutting and pasting you're using -- it's easy to get a line break / extra space in there that often will cause errors...

Keep working it, you'll get it.

any way to get the templates that i edited to revert back to defaul without doing all templates?

also, anyone else have trouble with the username linking? my link just says:

.....forums/member.php?u=

no username after it, obviously a dead link
