Issue Description

Fixes #1663
For events that are not expecting RSVP, we need to change our language to 'Invited' students, if people are added ahead of time. Wherever we display those RSVP students, both before and after the event, should reflect this change.

Changes

  • Created the invitedUser variable in Volunteer.py, also used in VolunteerDetails.html
  • Added time restraints to the invitedUser variable and attendedUser variable so that the code could differentiate between them based on whether the student joined before or after the event. (Also adjusts so that if the event starts, they are considered attended)

Testing

  • Go to "Settings" under the "Admin" tab
  • Click on the "Term Management" drop down section
  • Click on the most recent year and then click add new term (Repeat until you can click on Spring 2026)

Under "Create Events":

  • Create two events of any type with under admin permissions (one event needs to have RSVP and the other shouldn't)
  • They both need to have a date after your current day (nothing on or before your current date in real life)
  • Switch to student and sign up for both events:
    Note: To add the student to the non-RSVP event:
    - retrieve the student's B# from their profile
    - Switch back to Brian's Admin Profile
    - Go to event's list and click on the non-Rsvp event
    - Click on Manage Volunteers, click Scanner Entry, then past the B#
  • Once you go to "Volunteer Details", within "Events List", you will see that the student has been added as well as their status
  • Look at the table view, under volunteer status, the student will either be "RSVP", "Invited", "Waitlisted, or "Attended"
image Note: RSVP- A person who registered for the event online Invited- A non-personal manually added to the event (using B# or barcode), this is their status before the events date Waitlisted- A person who registered for the event after the RSVP limit was reached Attended- The status of a non-RSVP individual who was manually added to an event after the date of the event has passed

The creation of these two previous events is to make sure that RSVP shows up under the RSVP event and Invited shows up for the non-RSVP event. Now you will create the third.

  • Turn on the toggle in the upper right corner to see old events (In "Events List")
  • To make sure it works completely, create another non-RSVP event but make sure the date is BEFORE the date that you add the student to it.
  • This should result in "Attended" under volunteer status

Additional Commentary

  • I noticed that one of my changes resulted in this in the Volunteer Details Section, I was wondering if this should remain Attended:

… not rsvp and have attended and or have not attended

For non-rsvp events, when we manually add a volunteer using the scanner, they show as invited however, when we manually add them using their names they show as RSVP and not invited. It should be consistent when the event is non-rsvp whether we use the name search or scanner, we should have always have Invited instead of RSVP

The people entered through the scanner thingy don't show up in manage volunteers, only in volunteers list. They should show up in both normally
