Reminders - Change of Event Date was created by Graham S. Jarvis
Hello,

I have an event where first reminders were just sent out to only 8 of the 47 registrations.

This is because the event date had to be changed 6 days before the event date - so all those who had registered had been sent a first reminder and this was recorded in the database (is_reminder_sent=1).

Now the new "first reminder" date has been reached and therefore only those who registered after the first "first reminder" receive the reminder.

Would it be reasonable to implement a check which resets the is_reminder_sent field to "0" if the event date is changed and the new date is at least as many days later than the first "#_eb_events.send_first_reminder" days (before) setting?
[NB: I haven't understood why I can send a reminder after the event date]

Or, perhaps better, the actual reminder date is held in the database for the event and is_reminder_sent can be changed to "0" when the event date is changed to a date where the reminder has already been sent.

I haven't thought this through fully but there must be a way to be able to change an event date AND have the reminders go out correctly.

Thanks,
-Graham-
