MOD Title: Attendance Mod

By clicking an option you register for it with your username and the registration date. Registrations can be customized, confirmed, limited by users, can have an expiry date and different layouts.

The original author of this mod was Netizenkane. This mod continues on from Netizenkane's 0.2.7 development release.

This Mod is based on the Event Registration Mod (ex RegMod) for phpBB 2.

Hey Guys,

I've been a long time user of this mod and absolutely love it. I've just migrated hosts and installed the latest version, and am having a couple of problems with a few features. I was hoping to disable the 2 features, but am not sure where to find them:

First, how do I disable the extended preview in viewtopic? It used to only show the number registered and not the names? Showing the names is causing the viewtopic page to be increasingly large depending on the size of the event!

Lastly, How do you disable the mouse over popup in viewtopic? It doesn't seem to work very well in chrome/firefox and is just presenting the popup within the window and making it quite ugly.

Thanks in advance for the help

Dear Drew,

Firstly thank you for your feedback on this mod.

I have also noticed that the popup in viewtopic has a bug and is no longer required so I will remove this in the next release. I will push to get this release out in the next few days.

In regards to issue in relation to the users being listed and making a thread very large would you prefer if the same format was used but the registration was instead below the first post? This is what some other users of this mod have done and I have been considering making this change to this mod.

If you however would still like to remove the list of user's registered I will find out the correct edits for this asap. Please note if you remove the list of users from the registration how will you be able to know who registered for something or don't you need this functionality?

Drew let me know if there are any features you would like added in the next big release of this mod after these bugs have been fixed!

The original author of this mod coded the registration mod horribly. It took a bunch of pointless queries. How does yours perform?

I do need this on my forum, that's why I ask.

Complexity, I can understand that the mod has not yet been up to a stable release as yet however I believe that the queries that are now in the mod are not an issue other than I need to go back through the queries and update them so that unneeded fields are not returned during a result hence speeding up the queries slightly.

Could you please provide me with more information on what was the issue previously with the sql queries? ie speed of running queries? if so could you please provide some board statistics for your site. ie number of users, number of posts, etc.

Feel free to pm me your statistics if you don't want to post them here.

Thanks for your feedback. Feel free to have a look at the current version's code and any concerns you have voice them here and I will try and update the mod asap.
