We've made some updates to the "X members are going" lists on event announcement threads. Most of these changes are for event organisers, but there are a couple for all members too:
We've also made some major additions for event organisers, following on from last month's request for ideas.
For each member who has said they're going, there is a row in the table showing their IC Name, the date they first said they were going (ie the date on that wall update), whether they are still going, the date you last sent them a memo, and notes you can edit yourself (eg to say "paid in advance".) You can sort this table by different columns by clicking on the heading of that column. You can add more members and non-members to that page for your convenience, but they will not appear on the public going list. The whole table including these manually added entries can be downloaded in CSV format for importing into almost any spreadsheet program (eg Microsoft Excel.) The filename of these CSV files includes the current date so that also provides a convenient way of backing up this table. Each member who is still saying they are going has a tickbox in their row, and you can send the same memo to all the ticked members in one go. This means you can choose subsets of the going list to send reminders to - eg untick all the people who have paid already, and then send a reminder to the rest. (Since event organisers can't tick members who are not currently saying they are going, they cannot mass memo random people. If an organiser overuses this feature, people can opt-out again by removing their names.) As usual, please report any bugs on this thread.

Had a quick test and it works well.
I haven't tried the memo function yet but will do soon.
Thanks @Admin for doing that FemSub Social Club - Where Men are Dom and women are glad of it. Edited 2 Dec 11, 9:55 AM by FemSubSocialClub | ||

Thanks for testing it and reporting that it does actually work for other people! Admin

No, event organisers can't see them on these Going List pages since they're not "maybe going" but more like "Like" or "Bookmark". Regards Admin Remember: it's only a website | ||

Ah, fair enough. Thanks for the speedy response. ETA: I love the way organisers can get a CSV file of those that say they are attending, and that we can add non-ICers. That will be very handy I want to hold you close / Skin pressed against me tight Edited 2 Dec 11, 10:27 AM by MissAnnThropist | ||

We've made a small (but handy!) change to the going lists page that event organisers can see. There's now a "+?" entry for each person that's going that lets the organiser add extra people they'll be coming with. ie "plus ones" but it goes up to +9. So if someone says they're going and in their post says they're bringing two friends, you can change their count from +0 to +2. These numbers are included in the total count of how many people are going on the organiser's going list page. So you can discount people who are still listed but you know aren't going you can also set it to -1 to remove them from the count. None of this affects the number shown to everyone on the thread itself, or the names listed. These +? numbers are included as an extra column in the CSV spreadsheet files organisers can download from the going list pages. Regards Admin Remember: it's only a website | ||

How does Paul Dacre have a two word user name? And all men kill the thing they love, By all let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word, The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword! | ||

Does all this new functionality for events extend to munches too? As a co-organiser of the J-Munch I wanted to try this and couldn't see any link. We also would have liked to do a memo to all on our network but couldn't see any way to do this either. I should add that I was logged in as the J-Munch at the time, not as Leopard99. | ||

Should be whoever starts the thread i think. So if the J-Munch started the thread for it, they should be able to see the link. x Now where were we? Ah, yes - abject humiliation! |
