Event Registration, The Heroscapers Events Section, and You!

Yeah, my Nov 18th event is whacked out too. If you click on the link to it in the home page, and register there, you get registered for april 30th 2007, but if you click the 18th in the little calendar on the right hand side and then my event, you get registered for the correct date.

Whacky.
 
heh. yeah the RSVP feature is pretty messed up. i get the 4/30/07 business.

plus, on reoccurring events, trying to RSVP for one of them signs you up for all of them. (and yet the "RSVP for all occurrences" is still active.)

think i'll just keep track of this in the first post of my Event thread back on the forum. :(
 
In my trying to figure out the database I discovered that in registering for multiday events (GenCon 2007) most people only actually RSVPed for one day instead of all of them.

To register for all the days of a multi-day event, you must click "RSVP for all occurrences" You can tell if you did this because in your My RSVPs list it will say "Gen Con Indy 2007 - All Occurrences" instead of "Gen Con Indy 2007 - Occurrence Date: 8/16/2007".
 
with the reoccurring "Chicagoland Heroscaping" event, i RSVPed to just one (the occurence on December 2). then in MyRSVPs it says the date of the one i RSVPed for is 4/30/07.

but here's the really weird thing. no matter what other occurence i click on, it shows i'm attending it (all of them) even though i only signed up for one. and the option to RSVP for just one occurrence is no longer there (but the one for RSVPing to all occurrences is still there).

I gave it a try and I see what your saying. The thing is all buggy. Bad code I suspect. :( I'll try and contact its creator and see if he's working on or has a fix.

thanks and good luck.

this particular "creator" apparently never tried using his own creation. ;)
 
Unless it is already in there somewhere and I'm missing it, it would nice if the events section had a link to get back to the forums.

Yeah a nav menu is high priority. Just haven't gotten to it yet.
 
I have discovered I get different RSVP lists for my event if I click on it from the calendar versus clicking on it from My RSVPs area.

Gary I think if you unregister for your event, then you should be able to re-register for just one day. I had to do this for myself with Gencon 07.

This whole area of the site is a high priority for me, but so are other things in my life.
 
I'm still having no luck with the registration. I've used IE and Mozilla and every time I hit the add event button I get this message: DB Error: syntax error

:(
 
Syntax errors mean you either typed an apostrophe or a quote or perhaps some other non alphanumeric character. I don't think it has anything to do with length, when you shortened it you probably took out an apostrophe or quote too. If this doesn't work. take out everything that isn't a letter or number and try again, it should go through.

I am not sure if there is anything I can do about this syntax error, but at the very least I want to make a Help doc that lists stuff like this.

gave it another try but it behaves the same way. i think the problem is i'm expecting it to behave in a different and more logical way than it does. plus i still get that bogus date of 4/30/07 in the MyRSVPs view.

when i click on "Current Month" view, i see all the occurrences for "Chicagoland Heroscaping". so you would think that if i clicked on the one scheduled for say 12/02, the popup window that shows details would show a date of 12/02. but it doesn't. it just shows the same "start date" of 11/18 for the first occurrence of the series of events and who is attending ANY occurrence, no matter which occurrence i click on. it would be better, i think, if the "details" window showed the date of the occurrence that was selected and who is attending JUST THAT occurrence. :shrug:

Ditto for my event, please advise.
 
I have found that the events db does not like '

so no contractions (We've don't we'll) and I've seen some internet urls include that character. You can convert urls using http://www.tinyurl.com/ to get rid of extraneous characters.
 
I'm still getting weirdness with the events section.

My RSVPs section it's listing our Jan 20th event way out at May 31st 2007.

From the MY RSVPs section it does not show me as RSVPed and provides an option to RSVP (very strange considering the section).

From the My Events section it does not show me as RSVPed and provides an option to RSVP.

Only from the Home view am I shown as RSVPed.

Also, when creating the invite, my formatting kept getting altered ... minor annoyance.
 
UPDATE: H_E_H RSVPed, but he is not listed on the event from the Home view, only when the event is viewed from the My RSVPs and the My Events sections. I had to RSVP a second time (from the My Events section) to see him listed. When I RSVPed a second time, however, it created a second NorCal event on the My RSVP section with the correct date ... both HEH and I are listed as RSVPed in both events.

I'm not sure how the Events Section is coded, but if it were a database, I'd say it may be creating a records for each view of an event and having problems keeping them reconciled. :2cents:

UPDATE 1/4/07: When checking the events section I found that I was no longer RSVPed for the 1/20/07 NorCal Tourney from the Events Home view. At first I thought I was logged out, but My Events showed otherwise and I still had my two previous RSVPs in the My RSVPs view. RSVPing to the event in the Home view added a third NorCal Tourney dated 6/30/07 in My RSVPs. HEH and I are listed in all three events.
