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:

Me too! I'm running the event forums mod and can't wait until it's compatible. This has got to be one of my favorite mods of all time.

Currently, if the member can no longer attend, he can change his vote to "No," or its equivalent on your board.

On another note, has anyone played around with adding new responses using phrasing or otherwise? Were the instructions clear enough about how to do that?

Also, has anyone confirmed this to be working on their 3.6.x board?

Farcaster,

Thanks for updating this MOD. I can't wait for the Event Forums integration. For this to work for my site....I need the full integration. Thumbs up on your progress!!! Can you share if there were any improvements in the numbers of queries executed by this MOD?

I added the modification bugzy speaks of with this version (Farcaster Event Attendance 2.0.1) and it works 100%. Thanks a lot Farcaster, this hack rules.

I just updated from the 3.6.8 version to this 2.0

The Yes/Maybe/No bullets don't show. The form to write the number of guests and your comment are, but there is no way to say yes or no.

Also, when trying to write a comment in, it says I don't have permission.

Edit: You know what? I'm an idiot. It clearly says it doesn't work with the forum integration, so I'll just roll back to 1.2.2

Thanks.
