Event enrollment feature

[dodgechargerfan]

We've just added a new feature to the calendar.

When you are creating a new event in the calendar you can turn on the option of having members click a link to indicate their attendance.

When you create the event, just check the box at the bottom of the screen that says, "Allow users to specify that they will attending this event."

That will put a link in the post that users can click on. When they do, their username gets added to a list in the post.

See the entry for this year's MOPARfest as an example:

Pretty cool feature, I think it will help out a lot in the planning stages of a get together.:dance:

Where are the posts going to show up, they don't seem to make it to the recent posts list on top of the main page. Is there a way to direct them to the "Calender of Events" forum?

Nuh uh. The calendar is an entity in and of itself.

When the event is high, it will show up in the What's going on section at the bottom of the page.

I'll see if there's something I can do to get some of these events more "in your face."

K, I've got a plan for integrating the Event Attendance with a process that will fire up a new thread for every event entered into the calendar.
Then, we can discuss the event in that thread.
I should have something together fairly soon.
Realistically, it will probably be next month sometime. I'm taking a week off at the end of this month.
