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).

Mostly, I haven't started work on the Event Forums integration for v2 because I wanted to make sure that the base Event Attendance code was bug free. If I integrated it now, I'd have to update two lines of code for any changes I made. Other than the initially reported PHP Warning bug, it seems it is running fine though, so I should be able to work on the integration part soon.

Yeah. Figured there was coding time issues.

Dont worry, we love the event/farcaster event mods !! just patiently waiting

id say this mod is one of the most functional truly useful mods for vb

keep it up !! thx

The avatars aren't showing up on the calendar event - I checked to make sure I enable that option. I'm running 3.7.0

I installed and tried this today. Here is one small glitch I have found: When you RSVP and then want to cancel your RSVP...you are not able to do so fully. You can select the NO option but it leaves behind some residue....in that you still occupy a count of 1 RSVP. How will a user (non-moderator) back out of a RSVP WITHOUT the moderators having to remove them? Love the mod by the way.

[stwilson]

Do the NO's count towards the RSVP maximum limit? I guess what I was trying to say is....why aren't the No's removed from the list in full? Can we have that as an option? If a person say's no, not to display that in the RSVP list at all? For my site, I don't care if you're not coming.

The owner of the event and the admins should get the option to show the NO voters as list or simply remove them from the list.

It would be nice to have this but people can change the default yes, maybe, no to whatever they want so I think it will be hard to implement this or?

are these ones:

... incl. in this Version? Maybe that the Dates incl. in a Forum?

[Ozy]

I'm trying to find a clever way of notifying people who signed up for an event to be notified if we cancel the event. Does anyone have an idea for this? Our events are very weather sensitive and cancelations are quite often.

Thx

I can synchronous add my status f?r "yes", "no", and "mabye".

is this not a little bit confusing?

I want that my old status get's deleted when i add a new status.
How can i make this?
