Event Attendance 2.0

This is an update version of the vB 3.0x "Event Attendance" hack found HERE. Thanks to Kentaurus for allowing redistribution.

I have rebuild/rewritten the hack for vB 3.5 - now it is no longer a hack but a plugin. No template modifications and no code modifications required.

This plugin allows users to enroll for events. When a new event is created, the user can decide if this feature is available for this event.

This plugin includes (from the 3.0x Version and Thread):

• Links to userprofile (by buro9)
• Counter for enrolled users (by Sanni)
• and most (all?) fixes from old version
• no additional queries! (for reading, if you enroll/cancel there is one additional query)

It does not include (from the old thread):

• Fix for reoccuring events (complete redesign needed)
• Addon for guest-count (I don't need this, feel free to re-add)

Additional Features:

• Event Attendance can be deactivated for reoccuring events (see Options in AdminCP)
• Enroll/Cancel can be deactivated for events that are already started (AdminCP)
• Sorting of enrolled people can be switched via AdminCP
• All text is now in phrases

Installation:

• Go to ACP/ Plugin System/ Manage Products.
• Click Add/Import Product, select the product XML File you downloaded here and click Import.
• Thats all - Have fun!

Known Problems:

• calendar_roll and calendar_rollbit templates are not cached. I've not found a way to do this by using a plugin. But this is not really an issue.
• Aug. 24th: Bug found by endquote in post#36: Typo in var name, this will cause Event enrollment to be disable at the wrong time (depending on time zome). Will be fixed in next release.

If you upgrade from 3.0x:

• This plugin is fully database compatible to the old hack, if you upgrade no data will be lost.
• You need to revert your calendar templates: calendar_showeventsbit, calendar_roll and calendar_rollbit.
• If you do not want to revert your calendar_weekly_event and calendar_monthly_event please use "Mark enrolled in month/weekly view"=NO in Event Attendance Options to avoid event to be marked twice ("*").

Feature Requests:
I list the feature requests here - this does not mean that I will code it. If you are a coder feel free to code it and release it as addon or allow me to include it here.

• Change text after event is over. (Post #21) (very likely)
• "It would be better if the plugin wouldn't let you add yourself after it's ended rather than started." (Post #35) (very likely)
• "Another suggestion would be to have an admin option to just set all events to have the attendance functionality, rather than providing an option when posting." (Post #35) (very likely)
• List of attended events in User Profile (Post #11) (maybe later)
• CVS-Export of attending users (Post #8) (unlikely)

Aug. 15th: Beta-Tag removed, no code changes.

Please click INSTALL if you like this plugin.

Doesn't work

I've inserted this

<select name="partycount" size="1" onkeyup="doAttendCount();">
<option>Number of people</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
</select>

but it insert just 1 also if I choose 2

Any suggestion?

andreamarucci, replace your calendar_roll with:

<p><strong><phrase 1="$rollcount">$vbphrase[roll_text]</phrase></strong></p>
<if condition="$rollbits">
<ul>
$rollbits
</ul>
<else />
<p><i>$vbphrase[roll_nobody]</i></p>
</if>

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid] > 0 && $show[enroll]">
<if condition="$show[userattending]">
<a href="calendar.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getinfo&amp;ea=unattend&amp;e=$eventinfo[eventid]">$vbphrase[roll_cancel]</a>]
<else />
<!-- Number in Party field -->
<input type="hidden" name="pc_surl" value="$session[sessionurl]">
<input type="hidden" name="pc_eventid" value="$eventinfo[eventid]">
<input type="hidden" name="pc_pharse" value="$vbphrase[roll_enroll]">
</br>
<div id="attendlink">
<a 
href="calendar.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getinfo&amp;ea=attend&amp;e=$eventinfo[eventid]">$vbphrase[roll_enroll]</a>
</div>
</br>
<div id="option_attendlink">
<select name="option_partycount" size="1" onchange="doAttend(this);">
		<option>Number of people</option>
		<option value="1">1</option>
		<option value="2">2</option>
	</select>
</div>

<script language="javascript">

function doAttend(oSelect)
{
var i=oSelect.selectedIndex;
var sVar;
sVar= '<a href="calendar.php?'+document.calendar_showeventsbit.pc_surl.value+ 'do=getinfo&amp;ea=attend&amp;e='+
document.calendar_showeventsbit.pc_eventid.value +
'&amp;pc=' +
oSelect.value+'">' +
document.calendar_showeventsbit.pc_pharse.value+'</a>';
document.getElementById("attendlink").innerHTML = sVar;

}


</script>

<!-- / Number in Party field -->
</if>
</if>

As before Louis I've to tank you very very much. Works like a charm and now is very very useful :banana:

[Mighty Mojo]

Will this allow people to put ANY note next to their name?

I.e. not just a number...

If not, what modification might I make so that members can make a note next to their name?

[Mighty Mojo]

Two other suggestions:

1-Add an option to show what time/date an event was added to the calendar.
2-Add an option to show what time/date a person signed up (despite the fact that it shows in order who signed up first, it would be useful to me for discrepancies)

Thanks for your time---hope someone else finds these ideas worthwhile and can develop them..

Do you know if the ability to pay to join an even is an option?

No, the way I wrote the modification will not allow individuals to put any note next to their name.

Personally, the way the modification is currently written it is not very scalable from a data storage point of view. While it would be highly possible to add in code to allow people to put in ANY note next to their name coding would get fairly messy farily quickly when trying to adapt to the scalibility issue.

I wonder what it takes to take someone eleses idea and do an extensive rewrite of it?

A very important question. Is this compatible with the upcoming version 3.6?

Hi, This mod as is downloaded along with the modifications I've wrote to add a party count do work with 3.6. If you have already installed this mod then, after the upgrade to 3.6, to get the event attendence party count to work you will, after doing the required template reverts, need to reapply the change to the calendar_showeventsbit template.

can't work in 3.6........
