RSVP gives your members the ability to respond to events, with a Facebook-style interface. Members are sent confirmation emails, and administrators can then export the attendance list, or send updates to all members attending an event. Members can also see a list of other members who are attending an event.

RSVP gives your members the ability to respond to events.

• Content publishers can specify a maximum number of places available for each event
• Members can optionally select how many places to reserve (e.g. if they are bringing a friend)
• Members receive a short confirmation email when they respond to events
• Administrators can view & export the attendance list for an event
• Administrators can send email updates to all members attending an event

Configuring RSVP is simple. Your events are stored in a standard ExpressionEngine channel, so if you don’t have a channel for events, go ahead and set one up first. You will probably want to add custom fields to the channel, such as the event location and time (or you can use the entry publish date to record the event date and time).

When you first install RSVP and visit the control panel page, you will be prompted to specify your events channel. Once you have set the events channel, you will see a shiny new ‘RSVP’ tab on your publish page for that channel. You can move and rearrange the fields on this tab to a just like any other custom fields.

Before members can respond to events in your channel, you must enable RSVPs for that event. When you create new events, RSVP will be enabled by default. You can change this behaviour in the RSVP preferences page.
