This may be outside the bounds of the module itself, but it would be really nice if this could work with RSVP as well as signup for those who need the unique features of RSVP. I see some challenges with this, however since the composition of groups/invitees may change over time. Theoretically this means that the RSVP should only be created a certain amount of time prior to the actual event. Again, something that will likely have to be done through separate code/rules/cron but I thought I'd throw it out there in case worth was seen. Ideally someone can come up with an all in one Event Creation and Management module that re-creates the functionality of sites like Evite/Google Groups/Meetup.

I didn't get a try but it should work with RSVP. node repeat duplicate node, other module don't see a difference.

Yes, it works with it in the sense that the two mods don't cause any conflicts with each other. What I'm suggesting is that they be tied in together more closely, giving users the option to have RSVPs automatically created at certain junctures (i.e. 5 days before the event) on nodes that have been repeated.

An example: I'm creating a site for local board gamers to organize different groups and schedule events. So, we're using Organic Groups, Date, Calendar, etc. Their groups will ebb and flow with people joining and leaving all the time. Many of them will create recurring events, for example, a gaming meetup every Thursday for the next year. That is where node repeat comes in. However, the RSVPs don't need to be created until a week or so before the event. This is important so that when the invite is sent, it catches all the newest people to have joined the group and missed all the people that have left the group. This can currently be done manually by the person going in and creating the invite each week. However, the true power would be if the RSVP were automatically created for recurring events on a schedule. This would give Drupal functionality to compete with Evite, Meetup and Google Calendar.

I see now. it could be really interesting but I'm afraid is out of the scoop of this module. I will take a look when I have some time. Perhaps it could be done with an other module doing the link between node repeat and RSVP.

Of course patch/sub-module are welcome.
