Improved Events: More flexible RSVPs for recurring events

When RSVPing to a recurring event, members can now indicate whether they’re going to just the next occurrence or to all future occurrences. This makes it easier for event organizers to understand who is actually attending a particular event, and ensures attendees only receive reminders for the events they want to attend.

:microscope: What’s changed

On recurring events, the Going button now has a drop-down menu where members can choose to attend:

  • This event: They are marked as “going” for the next occurrence only. After that event, they’re removed from the attendee list and won’t receive reminders for future occurrences.
  • This event and all following events: They are marked as “going” for all future occurrences and will continue to receive reminders for them until they return and change their RSVP.

On desktop, if members only click the Going button and not the drop-down component, they’ll be marked as attending this event only.

On mobile, tapping Going opens a menu where members must choose how they are RSVPing.

:mega: What do you think?

Over to you: we’d love to hear what you think of this new feature. What do you like and dislike; what is working well, and what could be improved?

This is a welcome change!!!

Unfortunately my sites can’t yet make use of it, as our meetings tend to be monthly and to be scheduled for the same day of the week (i.e. the last Monday of each month, 2nd Tuesday of each month) they don’t fit in with the current available options.

Please consider implementing this Feature Request to truly empower the above very positive change to recurring event RSVPs:

Hi Nathan,

for every second Tuesday you can use “every month on this weekday” only for last Monday there is no option.

Please see Repeating Event " going" gets not deleted anymore - #18 by anko127 for detailed description

even with this new feature this was not solved: choosing “this event” does mark me as attending all future events - and the little user flag gets never reset - dunno what we have broken on our system, any idea?

Yes - I was listened to!!! Or at least happened to complain just before that feature was introduced.

I love it - is super helpful on basically every Discourse community I’m involved with!

I see that this has also been addressed now:

Where do I find the new selection options

  • This event
  • This event and all following events
  • Leave event

in https://discourse.crowdin.com to add the German translation ?

Under calender client.yml or server.yml I have not found them

They are in client.yml in the calendar folder. Be sure to check both the calendar folder within the latest and the release folder. I think the texts you are looking for are all in the release folder.
This event
This event and all following events

@anko127 texts that were already approved won’t be updated with your suggestion automatically. A proofreader has to take care of them. I suggest you leave a comment on the string in that case; otherwise, it’s unlikely something will change.

Thanks, found and added, there were no translations yet.

In my note, I was referring to other texts where you suggested new translations without adding a comment.
