Re: Suggested Features - attendees list 

I have another suggestion.

Store all event data using UTC, Greenwich time. So, instead of using System.DataTime.Now, use System.DateTime.UtcNow . At the database, instead of getdate(), use getutcDate().

This way, it is far easier to convert an event from time zone to timezone. Rather, than storing as (example) Pacific Time, then have to convert to Central time for a user preference (while "remembering" that it was stored as Pacific, its more direct. Also, if the database is moved to another server (in another timezone), it won't throw it off. Plus converting to zulu for vCal export is easy. Plus its easy to use the System.TimeZone class to convert back and forth, which automatically takes into account the daylight sayings start/end dates.

I've been asked several times to have the attendees list visible. The reasoning is that for clubs who's attending may entice others to attend. Of course this feature would need to be set per event as private/hidden, viewable to specified roles, or public. And it may need to be limited to show last name only or first initial & last name if possible for some privacy.

Also would be nice if for enrolled events the open slots were shown - for example: 2 of 10 seats remaining.

YES! An attendee roster would be excellent along with a way to designate the # of openings left. A printable attendance sheet would be great. Take it one step further and allow the admin to log who attended.

 

 

I made my site 'public' to the dnn community now so thought I'd show my customized  AVCalendar solution. You can see it at

http://www.yapclub.com/dfw (event list) and

http://www.yapclub.com/dfw/EVENTS/tabid/56/Default.aspx

I added the event guest list feature which you can take a peek at to see my implementation. If you want to register, please do so at www.yapclub.com/dnn rather than my cities and then navigate to my main page.

What's also nice about the guest list is that you can send out event reminders or event emails. I plan on adding this feature using providers with my upcoming EmailManager project at www.yapclub.com/dnn so it will automatically send event RSVP reminders like evite.

This has been done in the latest version (3.2) on my site (www.avanced.net)...I also added several other cool features and fixed several bugs.

Re: Suggested Features - attendees list 

Alan,

I am now using your Calendar version 3.02.00.  The timezone portion is just what I was talking about.  Now when I export to Personal Calendar, the time is correct even though web server/database is in another time zone.

However, when a non-authenticated user is viewing my site (not logged in), all times are off.  So, a 7:00am UTC-700 (Mountain time) event is showing as 1:29pm. This is in 3 places:
1. the event list below the calendar. I guess thats the events for the selected day.

2. Week View

3. Calendar List module.

All when not logged in.   The Event "Detail" view of a single event is fine.  It seems the event detail uses the portal timezone when user timezone not available (i.e. not logged in).  This same technique should be be used all over.

Jeff.
