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

Installed, but confounded.

[Steward babbles on here, but sprays this space with babble-remover the next day]

Later: ok, all my problem. Thumbs up for this hack. Serializing the data field was nice, we can add our own goo easily.

If you add it to an existing calendar, you may need to zap the little flag to '1' to enable rolls on existing events. I used phpMyAdmin.

Thank you.

I've installed and added all the improvements as suggested and now I can't access my calendar, each time I do it gives me a Parsing error.

ie:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in N:\Web\CTC\calendar.php on line 1149

and I dont see anything concerning attending the events that are showing up in the Todays events thingy...
Damn !!!

Peace ...

Using vb3.03 php 4.3.8

Ok I got it to work by redoing all the edits on a fresh file but when I click on an event in the "Whats Going On" or Calander it takes me to the event, shows all the attendies, has all the right buttons and is working great except that the events are listed twice. If I delete one it also deletes the other ... LOLOL

Any Suggestions or support on this anymore?

Someone help me Please... My events are showing up twice in the Calander after installing this and having some issues... I love the hack and I've scowered all the edits and cant find the trouble...This is a real anoyance...

Peace...

This happened to me too - I think it's caused because after following the instructions there are additional instructions that cause a duplication of some of the code. I can't remember how I fixed it and didn't make notes, however try the following. In calendar.php find

    if ($eventinfo['useroll']) {

And look around that area to ensure that if statement is not there twice. You'll probably find a block of code repeated. I believe the statement above should only be in calendar.php once.

Let me know if you need the exact fix and I'll see if I can find my backed up files for when I applied this hack and the events showed twice.

Great Hack. This has made our life much more easier for handling chatter/forum events. Before this hack people copied the attendee list multiple times in the same thread to keep it updated. This is now gone !!! THANK you so much.

Cheers,

For every event in my calendar, when I click on [I will be attending this event.], it send me to a forum error message that states the following:

"Invalid Event specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster"

This is for every event, they do not show up twice, and this is on vB 3.0.3. I've check the db via phpMyAdmin and the events exist in the correct table and rows, but they just don't seem to be called correctly with the [I will be attending this event.] link. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like a PHP problem of the post and get parameters of a HTML form. Do you have global variables on or off? This could cause this problem.

If you do not have them enabled and for security reasons, you should let them disabled, you can replace the variables with $_POST[variablenames] or $_GET[variablenames] and it should work.

I'm not sure exactly what you're telling me I should do. I'm not a coder, but I do hack out the vB with the provided hacks myself, so I need a little more "lamens" if you know what I mean...
