For instance, you could configure a message to be sent to a member who RSVP'd "Maybe" to prompt him to update his RSVP status a few days before the event started. You could configure an additional notification to be sent to members who RSVP'd "Yes" to remind them of the event one day, one week, or at any point before the event occurs.

Setting up Notifications
The options are setup to give you a wide latitude of setting up all kinds of schedules with different email templates. Under the options for "Farcaster's Event Attendance" you will now have a text area for each of the RSVP statuses (Yes, No and Maybe). On each line you type in the number of days (or fraction thereof) in advance of the event the email should be sent, followed by a comma and then the email phrase to be used. To setup more than one, just add a new line. For instance, to send a notification 5 days in advance to members who RSVP'd "yes," I created a new email phrase called rsvp_yes_5 and then added the following line to the option box: 5,rsvp_yes_5I decided that I also wanted to have a message sent 1 day in advance, so I added another email phrase called rsvp_yes_1 and added it just below the previous line, like this: 5,rsvp_yes_5Adding a New Email Phrase 1. Under the Phrase Manager, click "Add New Phrase" 2. Change the Phrase Type to "Email Subject Text" 3. Set the varname. This will be the name you reference in the notification box described above. 4. Type the text you want to appear in the subject line in the "Text" box. You can use variables. A list of available variables will be described in the next section. 5. Save the phrase. 6. Add another phrase by clicking, "Add New Phrase" under the Phrase Manager. 7. Change the Phrase Type to "Email Body Text". 8. Set the varname to the exact same name as you used for the "Email Subject Text" above. 9. Type the text you want to appear in the "Text" box. You can use variables. Available Variables: $username = The user's forum name $rsvp_day = The day the event occurs, formatted as Y-m-d, ie: 2007-01-01 $rsvp_day_formatted = The day the event occurs. $when = Number of days to event or "Today" if the event occurs on the same day as the notice is going out, ie: 3 Days $days_to_event = Number of days to event, without the word "Days" appended. $rsvpd_on = The date the member RSVPd. $guests = The number of guests the member said he'd be bringing. $rsvp[title] = The event title. $rsvp[event] = The event description.

Just when I was thinking that my site needed this and I would have to do it myself. Great addon, thank you!

Are the instructions easy enough to understand? I know it is a little complicated to setup your notifications, but I wanted to keep it as open ended and scalable as possible for everyone's individual needs.

Does this take account of the user's email seetins such as "Admins can email"?

Thanks. I'll just have to make a note in the RSVP form then.

I can definitely add it as an option to "Respect Admin-Email opt-out." In a fashion, this works much like a reminder does, which is sent from the system and not from an admin. On my board at least, I want it to send out regardless, but I can understand where you're coming from and it's not very hard to add in, so you can expect it in the first revision.

Great mod. Will make the event system even better.
It would be great if you could email members whenever a new event is posted. Maybe a custom profile field for "Notify me of new events" No members have liked this post.

Locutus2999,
That's on my list of things to do, but I'm going to make it seperate from the RSVP system, since you may want it to run on calendars or for events that are not using the RSVP modification. No members have liked this post.

Thank you for the great hack!! I've already noticed an improvement on my roll calls - much less "maybe's" and people showing up for events when they said they would.
Is there any support for $customfields? I have an extensive list of them set up, and it would be great if they could be included in the email. Thanks again!
