Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
Christophe Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I just wanted to list the things that are absolutely crucial for the RSVP functionality. 1) show or hide RSVP'ed members Sometimes an event organizer needs to hide the number or name of people registered as if member see little interest they have no will to rsvp thinking nobody will come. This is why we hide our rsvp list and only the person making the event post or moderators/admins can see the list. If you want to show the list you can but that should be an option to hide it. 2) Members need to be able to easily know that they are rsvp'ed if they go to the calendar event. 3) Members should be able to add guests or guests should be able to rsvp themselves if the permissions are set up for them to do so. 4) Person doing the event needs to be able to have a long list of all the names of the rsvp'ed people that also show guests as in: john smith jane doe samwise didier -guest: tom cruise -guest: smith T Tom Sayer I am curious on how the list of 100 names is going to look if you have that right side box. Are you planning on having all rsvp'ed people as a new post under the event post?
Christophe Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 In this screenshot I do not understand where is the button to RSVP. You should have a clear colored green button to RSVP to an event...you know most people are really dumb and do not read but like pretty images /rolleyes
Christophe Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 Here is a really dirty 1 minutes mockup of what I think the rsvp should sho. The list pof RSVP ed people is viewable either for all, event poster, moderators, admins or admins only. Notice that each name also has a profile popup icon so that when you mouseover the little bubble or click it it bring the details about the perso. Because of potential really long lists you spread them on 4 columns of about 10 each then 20, 30 etc..
Christophe Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 One more thing, it needs to be obvious once someone is RSVP'ed that they are and it also needs to provide a simple way also to UN-RSVP using the same kind of button but porbably red that time. Some members have requested to be emailed when RSVP'ed. I don t think it is necessary but you may want to consider that as an option. If guests can not rsvp because they need to be members a note must be shown before they click rsvp and get an error message Also the structure for the event page should be - event information box with big button somewhere to RSVP or UNRSVP and the member's status ie are you rsvped or not. - registered people showing or not showing depending on preferences - comments or questions about the event

In that screenshot, I was RSVP'd, so there is no RSVP button. It shows me in the list (i.e. an obvious way for members to know that they are RSVP'd for an event). There is a delete button so that I can un-RSVP from the event. Half of the things you are talking about are already there. ;) Note that in the blog entry we stressed many times that the interface is NOT finished in the screenshots and WOULD be changing.
Christophe Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 I was not complaining just sharing comments. I have the uttmost respect for you guys so I would never attack or critic. This was just a designer who made a quickly comment related to what my own setup needed. I am very interested in seeing how you are going to display the 100 people registered for an even hence why I showed how we do it on another system. Guests invites seems to be the thing I am bugged almost 10 times a day. I run a community of 75k members from 30 countries and people want to invite their firends as guests to our events before forcing them to register a new account. We only allow members to rsvp. So that guest functionality with a way to enter names would be god sent from my end since we have had to make two custom hooks to improve the calendar. THumbs up to you guys and I am sorry if I sounded negative or aggressive it wasn t the intent I merely wanted to make you aware of what we were doing and what we neede. I have been doing the rsvp on our calendar for months and it is really amazing how dumb some people are. Event if there is a text right in front of their eye telling them to login first or to click LINK to rsvp they still can t manage it. I noticed that unless you give them a big single button to do an action they get confused. 1/3rd of people are unable to understand the registration confirmation email and rarely read message they are send...its amazing.
bfarber Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Oh no, don't misread me. I didn't take your comments as negative at all. In fact, I quite like some of the ideas you've posted and intend to look into them. I don't think they'll make 3.2.0, but there's always 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 and 3.3.0 and so forth. :) This was a first release of a lot of new functionality in Calendar and we expect to improve, polish, tweak and expand it over time.
Buskopan Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 So how this un-RSVP works now with 3.2.3? My members still can't see the un-RSVP button
bfarber Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Did you update Calendar to 3.2.2 as well? Remember it's a separate download in the client center. If you're having trouble with it after updating, please feel free to submit a ticket.

RObiN-HoOD Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Sorry for asking, is this a per calendar option or a generic one?
