Description
Are there any plans to port this module to Drupal 6?
#1
I can donate for the Drupal 6 port. Dhollender are you still around ? Would you be interested in starting a fundraising effort ?
EDIT : I'm thinking of using Event, Signup,Webform and EventWebform instead of this so I probably won't help fund this module after all.

As this is similar to the Signup module to allow registration of events, I am very keen to learn when a D6 port will be available.

guix ... Did that work for you?
I'm thinking of using Event, Signup,Webform and EventWebform instead of thisI was unable to find EventWebForm -Does it exist or is it a typo?

I abandonned Event Manager because I needed to ask more things to the visitor.
I went towards Webforms mostly because for each event I can customize my form, even allow the visitor to send a file.
I first tried to integrate Event and Webform with EventWebform (only D5) and it worked, however I had 2 problems :
1) I could collect subscriptions from unregistred users but not webforms
2) The workflow was too confusing for the users : first they click on signup and they are subscribed to the event, but then they get the reminder to complete the webform, which most of the users wouldn't do.
It was hard but I made two strong decisions :
1) To force users to open an account in order to subscribe to an event : anyway, most of the time, I ask for the same information for an event than for an account : Name, Surname, Organization, Email...
2) I abandonned signup for the moment. Instead, I consider someone is registred when he has filled in the webform.
The workflow is near to great now. A non registred user will click on the link to subscribe to an event and will be redirected to the registration page with Logintoboggan where he enters his Name, Surname, Organization and other stuff (these are custom Profile fields) Then he's redirected (thanks to Logintoboggan once again) to the webform, where the Name, Surname and Organization are pre-filled from his profile.
The redirection stuff with Logintoboggan is done with this PHP code inserted in the Event node (node 176 is the webform)
<h3>Subscription</h3><p>To subscribe
<?php
global $user;
if ($user->uid) {
echo "or change your subscription details please <a href='/node/176'>click here</a>";}
else {
echo "please <a href='/user/register?destination=node/176'>register</a> if you don't have any account yet or <a href='/user/login?destination=node/176'>login</a> if you have one";}
?>
.</p>
Backwards :
1) I'm kind of loosing a lot of Event power doing this, because the users are not signed up with Signup.
2) Mostly, the user doesn't get any confirmation email (but he gets a confirmation message).
I'm thinking to go back to Signup and EventWebform, or EventManager at a later stage if they will allow a better workflow.
Sorry for the pollution of this issue...

Event + Calendar Signup + Signup + Signup Scheduler accomplishes my events (registration, confirmation, reminder email, Signup expiration) in D6

Marked #314034: port to D6, #232391: Drupal 6 compatible, and #334048: Will this be available for 6 as duplicate issues.
