Thanks for amazing work @angus ! I was waiting for such thing for ages.
What do you think about implementing āMake event date and/or time required when creating eventā feature? I would love to help with that if i had the skills.

Iāve pushed v0.1 of the RSVP feature. Thanks for being patient, Iāve been moving city and house, so Iāve been busy.
[Add rsvp feature Ā· angusmcleod/discourse-events@39a8de1 Ā· GitHub](https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-events/commit/39a8de18af16c0fcac41fac6e031824dcf6d5c42)
If you enable `events rsvp` in site settings, you will see:
- An rsvp toggle and attendee count under the topic title (Guests just see an unlinked count).
- Clicking on the attendee count opens a modal with a filterable list of the attendees.
- The attendee count appears on the topic list.
Future additions:
- ~~Event-specific rsvp enabling.~~
- Email markup to allow rsvp from email clients (e.g. Gmail).
- āInterestedā rsvp (aka āMaybeā).
- ~~Rsvp limit (@Stephen).~~

Do you mean a setting to require users to add an event when creating a topic, or setting(s) to require users to add specific parts of an event, i.e. you canāt create an event with adding a date _and_ a time?

Looks awesome. Will test shortly.
Can I suggest an RSVP limit be considered for the future? The reason I suggested the feature to begin with is a group who have regular meetings in a physical space with a capacity limit. First-come, first-served.

Iāve added:
- Event-specific rsvp enabling; and
- Guest limits
[https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-events/commit/f26c71c9cbd9b8667024744d6bd5188a53fbd6b8](https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-events/commit/f26c71c9cbd9b8667024744d6bd5188a53fbd6b8)
Now the site setting `events rsvp` toggles controls in the Add Event modal that lets the event creator enable rsvp and set a guest limit for each event.
- Rsvp details in the topic and the topic list are shown only if rsvp is enabled for that topic.
- The guest limit is not mandatory.
The event details under the topic title includes spots remaining if a guest limit is set.
This is live on my sandbox, e.g. [https://discourse.angusmcleod.com.au/t/spelunking-in-the-amazon/338](https://discourse.angusmcleod.com.au/t/spelunking-in-the-amazon/338)

Get a 500 error when RSVPāing:

Definitely a first one - require users to set date (and time) when creating an event.

Excellent feature - very welcome addition.
I did, however find that my forum completely stopped working (even in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true)) after I added an event šØ
From `production.log`
```plaintext
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 98ms (ActiveRecord: 25.3ms)
NoMethodError (undefined method `>' for nil:NilClass)
/var/www/discourse/plugins/discourse-events/plugin.rb:177:in `event_going_max'
```
I was able to get the forum back online by deleting the last topic Iād created using the following at the Rails console:
```plaintext
Topic.last.destroy
```
Another issue - in desktop mode, when selecting an events-enabled category, the event date button is unclickable due to it being rendered behind the preview pane:

š My apologies. Not sure how I missed that one in my tests. Fixed.

Rebuilt about 45 minutes ago, still getting the 500 error on new and existing events. Tried with both a guest limit and without.
Also, when I create an event with RSVP enabled and a guest limit the āgoingā box doesnāt immediately appear. If I edit the event again and save it without making any changes then itās visible. Will have a video clip in a moment to illustrate.

I am liking the look of rhe rsvp feature. I can see this being very useful! Nice work, Angus!
Two features that might help fit this into our workflow are:
- ability to export the rsvp list ([data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) query would be fine)
- ability to limit registration to certain groups (maybe this can be handled using categories)

Can you post a screenshot of
- the line for discourse events in /admin/docker, including the commit
- the site setting āevents rsvpā

This is not easy to reproduce. Can you link me to an example of it on your forum? Thanks. Also please post all your current settings for events here. Use the \> Hide details feature so the post isnāt huge.

Yup, both of these are doable. Itās relatively common to have the ability to export a list of attendees, so I may just make it a native feature.

I found that choosing āall dayā do not show hours. Is it the solution? Because I canāt just not choose hours.

Yup, if you want to post just a date without a time then use the all day setting.

After another rebuild itās behaving, although I note that itās possible to enable RSVP on events without the āevents rsvpā site setting enabled, which also returns HTTP500.
