Hello,

I have a few questions about creating and managing events in JS:

1)
Where/How can a friend invited by providing an email address, i.e. someone who is not yet registered in JS but receives the invitation email, accept or decline his or her participation in the event?

In the email that is generated, there is no take part/maybe/don´t take part button.

2)
If a recurring event is created, for example, every Sunday at 9 am:

How is the invited person - either a group member/friend or an invited guest - informed by email before these recurring events so that he or she can accept or cancel and the event organizer and other group members can see in time how many participants will come? Is this done via a regular cronjob?

Thanks and best regards
M.

    Hi
    1. The invite only option in the Event works when he is part of the site. If user is not registered yet it would not get email for the event. The invite option is present in Event Invite via email but he must be site user to take part .
    It does not contains button inside email the user it only has the URL of the page.

    1. for every event if its closed event you have to invite user manually each time. Cronjob is used to send the notifications and emails once its triggered.

      Hi,

      yesterday I made a test and only entered the email address from someone who is not registred member of my JS site yet. Nevertheless he got the invitation email.

      for every event if its closed event you have to invite user manually each time. Cronjob is used to send the notifications and emails once its triggered.

      I do not understand some of the above, especially
      "Cronjob is used to send the notifications and emails once its triggered."

      You deliberately create recurring events so that you don't have to think about inviting everyone from the group every time.

      If I create a recurring event for a group, e.g. a football match every Sunday, and want to know who has accepted or cancelled an appointment from the group, each member of the group must logically be reminded somehow of the appointment on i.e. the next Sunday in three months so that they can accept or cancel it.

      How are these appointment reminders implemented in JS?

      Normally a cronjob would do such a task, but it would be useful to have a lead time for the reminders, e.g. remind all group members always 2 days before the next soccer match, so that they still have time to accept or decline.

      I am also not sure how I should interpret the answer to invite a guest, i.e. a NON-GROUP MEMBER. The guest invited to an event via email address receives an email informing him/her that he/she has been invited to an event. If he cannot confirm his acceptance or rejection directly from the email, which would be the most elegant way, he would have to be informed at least in the email that he can only participate/reject after registration on the JS driven site. But such a reference is missing in the triggered email.

      And exactly THAT's what I mean in my other post: Your JS Pro customers will receive a minor bugfix update after many months and there was obviously no work done on more important, rudimentary points, like above regarding events and corresponding reminder mails to the group members.

      Best regards

        There is no reminder, its upto user whether what option he use to choose in the event to go or not.
        Email will be sent to as its only for invitation email, you add an email id and it will send email on the specific mail id.
        About the above parts, i am sharing it to dev team member for further checking on this. but at the moment it work like this.
        Cron Job will work like : U sending an message/email via JomSocial, once cron job run it will trigger these actions and email will be sent.
        I am not entirely clear on what you added and not working, can you check on the demo site ? and let me know if something working on the demo but not on your site.
        As if its something that is not part of the extension featured it would not work as it does not exist.

            To avoid any misunderstandings:

            To avoid any misunderstandings: Someone creates an event in Jomsocial for a group, which is held, for example, on the 1st of every month. And Jomsocial does not remind the group members in time of the upcoming events (no matter if with or without cron)?

            By the way: I do not understand what you mean with
            "you add an email id and it will send email on the specific mail id."

            Ninja Cron Job will work like : U sending an message/email via JomSocial, once cron job run it will trigger these actions and email will be sent.

            But that's obviously not true for all messages, is it? Or does someone get a private message from me only when the cronjob finally starts 12 hours later?

            As described, you can invite a guest to an event by entering his email address. He does not have to be registered and will receive this email with the invitation. There is no indication in this email what he should do afterwards. He can neither cancel or accept directly in the email, nor is there a hint in the email that he has to register to be able to accept or cancel. This might not work, because the mere registration does not make him a member of the group and therefore he still cannot react to the received email even after registration.

            Finally, for the reasons mentioned above, the currently implemented option to invite guests to a non-public group event by simply entering an email address is completely absurd.

            There are a few basic features and functions that generally must be considered in event management. One of these is that potential participants must be automatically reminded of recurring events by the system with a lead time. If this is not the case, the inviting party would never need to create a recurring event because he would then have to monitor this sequence of appointments himself in order to have to manually ask the group members each time whether or not you are participating.

            And it also does not correspond to the software-ergonomic principle of expectation conformity if, on the one hand, you can invite guests to a non-public event of a closed group by simply entering their email addresses, and then the invited person receive an email with which they can do absolutely nothing.

            Kind regards

                    miekchen And Jomsocial does not remind the group members in time of the upcoming events (no matter if with or without cron)?
                    Hi
                    There is no such option in Jomsocial to remind the events if its near.

                    miekchen But that's obviously not true for all messages, is it? Or does someone get a private message from me only when the cronjob finally starts 12 hours later?

                    If message sent via Chat there will be no email message as the this chat and user can send any no of message.
                    You can see all the mail in Email queue option in backend.

                    For other features you request i shared the feedback to development team on this.
