Interesting, I didn’t know that you had a BP integration in place for EE. With which BP version was it compatible?
I know that the BP core developers have their hands full of work, so I won’t blame them for not taking on a complete events module in the core.
For me the question now is, which plugin takes the least effort to extend on our own. And yes, I know about your crowdfunding like offer to fund extensions to EE. But I need to meet certain deadlines and I don’t think you can guarentee a certain development until then.
BTW, isn’t the “I’ll attend’ and ‘Maybe’ a pretty simple code addition? A user presses a button which captures that users user id and writes it into a custom field of the event page. The plugin then fetches those ids and shows avatars of those people who attend.
1. Only friends of events creator (again, write all the user ids of the event creator into a custom field thats not visible/accessible to users and then restrict visibility of event page to those users)
2. Only invited (would require more work. First have a way to notify other users of the event by private message or BP notification. Write the user ids of those into yet another custom field, rest see above)
I am pretty much a PHP noob. But are these things really so hard to do? More than a week of work for an experienced BP developer?
