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.

I'm building a brand new site and just installed this mod and it works great.

Thanks also to:

• Zachariah (post #18) - cached templates
• Mighty Mojo (post #194) - display profile fields
• Louis Chypher (post #213 and post #222) - set number of attendies (guests)

I made a few tweaks to the listed modifications such that attendies look something like this:

* username(4)
   o Wants: <string from field6>
   o Has: <string from field7>
* nextname(1)
   o Wants: <string from field6>

and the Wants/Has lines are only shown if the profile strings are not empty.

Hmm... not sure if this actually worked or not... all i can say is that I have my events linked to my forums with poll ability... not quite sure how lol *shrug* ... it's exactly what i wanted... I'm happy... don't know if that'll work for anyone else. ... anyway, I'm removing the test login feature on my site now.

Would it be difficult to modify the list so that it looks like:

username || secondary_usergroup
username1 || secondary_usergroup
username2 || secondary_usergroup
etc. ?

Where secondary_usergroup only displays if it is one of the following?

Here's an example.

Ted is a primary user for members but he's also in a usergroup for warriors.
Ann is a primary user for members but she's also in a usergroup for rogues.

I want both their username and secondary group to show if it's equal to warriors or rogues, so.. something like

if secondary_group = warriors or rogues then show secondary_group

The display would appear as:

Ted || Warrior
Ann || Rogue
etc.

Can it be done and would be it be difficult?

Anyone tried this on 3.5.4?

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 +

document.calendar_showeventsbit.pc_pharse.value+'</a>';
document.getElementById("attendlink").innerHTML = sVar;

}


</script>

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

I did this (along with the other changes you listed), and the drop down box seems to work, but the total attendance only gets updated by '1' regardless of the selected number. In other words if you select '2' it shows 'Username, 1' in the list of attendees and only increases the total count by 1.

What am I missing?



EDIT: I just noticed that there is an "Error on page" message in the status bar as soon as I select a number from the drop-down box. This is the error:

Line: 871
Char: 1
Error: 'document.calendar_showeventsbit.pc_surl' is null or not an object
Code: 0
URL: http://~~~/calendar.php?

If I just click on the link without selecting a number from the drop down box, I do not get an error. Does this help?

I found the problem - I made a typo in this line in the showeventsbit template:

<form action="calendar.php" method="post" name="calendar_showeventsbit">

Fixed the typo, all works great now -- thanks!

[andreamarucci]

I've just upgraded to 3.6 and everything works except for the fact that if you enroll choosing 1 people, you get yourname,1 and it's exact, but if you choose to enroll choosing 2 people, you get always yourname,1 and this is not correct since you must get yourname,2

Probably the upgrade changed something. Where do I have to look to fix this?

[andreamarucci]

Forget my last post. I've not added <form action="calendar.php" method="post" name="calendar_showeventsbit"> in calendar_showeventsbit template.

Now everything work ok in 3.6!

[GrandAmGuru]

anyway we can add in an attendance option of "maybe" and "no"? Also possiblity of the number of guests attending (like registered person + 2 guests)?

I also really like the idea that was posted about some sort of event attendance counting in their profile/postbit.
