Christophe Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I added to a post on the tracker that mentioned this very issue but I am afraid it was missed or not acknowledged so I wanted to make sure the community was aware and get feedback on this issue from both ipb and members. In 3.2 anybody can rsvp for an event BUT only the person who started the event in the calendar, or an admin/mod, can un-rsvp someone for an event. This is a big issue for people like myself who have a board based around events. We need to have very accurate counts of people attending these events and making members send an email to us everytime they want to un-rsvp is going to be a nightmare to manage when events have 400+ people. Take for example an outdoor event where in the morning the weather changes to rain. A lot of people would decide not to go anymore and getting hundreds of messages/emails to remove them from the rsvp will be time consuming and counter productive. I beg you to reconsider this and provide the members with a means to cancel a rsvp. It only makes sense. EDIT: also the functionality seems to be that once you are rsvp'ed the admin/mod/OP gets a small red X next to each name. I am not sure if that is the way to go to un-rsvp people. I would imagine that you should see a single red button at the top of the list similar to the rsvp one but in a red color with un-RSVP or some other text AND also the option for the admin/mod/op to use that red X toremove people. But as a member if I rsvp for an event in 2 week and tomorrow can t go I would expect to go to the calendar and click the same button I clicked for RSVP but this time getting a 'remove me' action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 I usually do not bump my own threads but I would like to get feedback on this issue. If you are reading this please provide a comment on the issue. Issue is that the new RSVP does not allow one to un-RSVP once members have RSVPed; which is not the same thing as voting for example where you can see the reason why a vote should not be changed over and over.

iozay Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Might be handy to have an un-RSVP option yes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥ Adam ♠ Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I'm assuming this had to be an oversight by someone. I agree that if you can RSVP, you should also be able to un-RSVP (undo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 I am referencing this tracker posthttp://community.inv...052#entry116052Only supermods, or the event owner (if enabled per-calendar) have permission to remove RSVP attendees. I am not sure what is the logic behind this as rsvps are not the same thing as votes where you should not be able to make changes. I think I mentioned it before but if the event owner has 400 people registered I wonder how that person is going to manage people who need to un-rsvp? It seems to put the burden on the event manager and not let the member make the change themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sound Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 am having the same issue is this omission still current ? asking as would have thought 6 weeks down the line something would have been done ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Calendar will receive continued maintenance and future updates. Nothing has changed with regards to this topic yet, but we have reviewed it and will take it into consideration when we further enhance Calendar.

sound Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 here's a view... a member will see this rsvp and as its new feature will either try it out as a test or as a valid rsvp if they do later try to remove it (as may have been just a test or plans have changed) in its current state they will then have a bad user experience simply because they can not remove it in some cases people may feel strongly about the removal for a number of reasons, some of them may be privacy related only option they have is to get in touch with the site, so then the site has to carry out unnecessary support plus until resolved the actual event poster may now have a rsvp list including people who will not be going sure if no one ever changes plans, or use it as a test then there be no problem but thats a big if imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BN_IT_Support Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I agree, I know this might to be a bug, but it imho it is serious enough to issue a fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 This is not a bug - it is a limitation of the system that we have already stated we would like to look into enhancing in a future release. This is not "serious" enough to issue a fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfarber Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 The next release will be a bug fix only release. It is probable this change will be in the next major release, but I can't say when that would be at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buskopan Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 anyone can explain where to enable un-RVSP ? 3.2.3 As notes saying that this was added to the IPCalendar v3.2.2version. My members still can't un-RVSP from the events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Did you upgrade Calendar? Remember it is a separate app from IP.Board now. If so, when you edit a calendar in the ACP you need to enable the setting "Allow un-RSVP?". It's a per-calendar option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
