Just downloaded the update version and went to create a Node view and added Total invites to my view and got the following message: Error: handler for rsvp_invite > total_invites doesn't exist!

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chip

Hi cmasarie,

sorry for not replying earlier.
For your info, I closed case http://drupal.org/node/392564 as a duplicate and we can continue working here on a solution.

I have to admit, that when I envisioned to write support for the view module, that I would get a lot of benefits from it, but after starting working with it for a while I came to the conclusion that the various settings and permissions that the RSVP module uses to identify when and how to display certain information can not easily be accomplished while using the view module.
There are also other shortcomings of the view module with respect to the joins that I would require to select the correct invitations and join them to a particular recurring date for an event. To accomplish all of that I figured out that I need more knowledge and time to get myself into the view module which I do not have and do not want to spend right now.

I am also not happy with the view support of rsvp but it has no priority at the moment and you also should try to avoid it.

Let me know what you exactly try to accomplish. Maybe there is a different solution without using views...

Thanks,
Ulf

Ok,

I cleaned up the view code and removed stuff that I believe is not usefull. Will be available with the next dev build.

Instead I added an example view 'rsvp_myinvitations' that shows the creation of three views: A invitation calendar, "upcoming invitations" and "created invitations".

Recurring events do not work with the views because a crutial join is missing between the date content field and the rsvp startdate.

Have fun and let me know if it works for you.

Thanks for your attention to this matter, Ulf. I will wait for the next build to download.

Try the dev build. The changes have been in there for a couple of days now.
Give it a try and report back. If it works out for you I will create a new beta release.

Thanks,
Ulf
