I have created event using Calendar in Drupal Commons. I need to implement RSVP for these events Details like FB event section.

Kindly guide me to create RSVP plugin in Drupal Commons. I just searched the web to get some reference link for RSVP Implementation in Drupal 7. In that link, user nicoz commented "Use the flag module ".

I just installed flag module and create that flag like Participant/Maybe/No, but I cannot achieve it, because a flag will only provide flagged content and unflagged content.

Flag And UnFlag content

Kindly give me any idea for this type of flag creation or else give me alternative module for RSVP functionality.

A flag that is created with the Flag module is indeed a boolean variable (it is "on" of "off"). In this specific case you should implement 3 possible values, i.e.:

  • Participant
  • Maybe
  • No

Here is how you can get that implement by using 3 flags:

  • Flag 1, with something like these "Link text" values:
    • (to Flag) = Yes I plan to participate.
    • (to Unflag) = Please ignore my "Yes I plan to participate" from before.

  • Flag 2, with something like these "Link text" values:

    • (to Flag) = I'm not sure yet if I'll participate.
    • (to Unflag) = Please ignore my "I'm not sure yet if I'll participate" from before.

  • Flag 3, with something like these "Link text" values:

    • (to Flag) = No I will not participate.
    • (to Unflag) = Please ignore my "No I will not participate" from before.

If it fits your requirement, you could "assume" that for somebody who did NOT set Flag1 and did not set Flag 2, the default applies which is something like "user does not want to participate, or didn't bother to let us know about it". That will avoid you need Flag 3.

If you're not familiar enough with the Flag module yet, I strongly recommend watching the set of 8 video tutorials about this module.

For more details, you may also want to refer to my answer to the question about Display unique text and button in nodes in a view in drupal 7. It contains the details about using the Entity Reference module for this, in combination with the Flag module, and possibly also the Rules module.

  • I enhanced my answer (and added some interesting video links). Just for your information: From your screenprint I get the impression that you're trying to sqeeze 3 values in a single flag. That can impossibly work. If you want to use the Flag module (I think you should), you have to think with Yes/No or On/Off options ... Which will also lead to great options for creating interesting views of them all ...
