[support] Registration module question...

Thu Dec 5 15:38:52 UTC 2013

Hi Steve,
Thanks so much for taking the time to help me through this.  I will do my
best to return
the effort somehow.

I wiped everything out and started over.  Followed your steps.  I've pretty
much been
this far before.  Now, when I view the node (logged in as admin) I see the
event content with 4 tabs.
This is fine for the person that is going to administer the event.   They
can view/edit the event, see who
is registered, register someone, etc.  I've created a view to better refine
that.

Now, comes my problem.  I think I know some of the steps, but can't quite
get it all the way yet.
I want to have anyone off the street be able to go to our site, get a list
of all the events.
No problem there, create a view.

Each event will have a link to the registration form and will allow them to
register.
This is pretty much where I fall on my face every time.
If I go to the event I created in this case and clicked on the register
tab, the URL
would be localhost/node/467/register.   I could easily hard code a link and
do
it manually.  Of course, that is no good.

I can almost see how to do this with PHP, but I imagine there's a way to do
this without.
I find it hard to believe that this wheel doesn't already exist.
You certainly don't want your registrants to see the "manage Registrations"
tab.
But, out of the box this is the only way I see to do it.

As I said, the Toronto Web Developer guy does exactly that, (with Node
References).
I've been through his video dozens of times, and I always end up close but
no cigar.
As I said, he's on Drupal 7, but I think the video was recorded prior to
the release of the
Registrations module.  Actually, I just checked on that a little.  The
video was uploaded
May 15, 2011.    Looks like Entity Registration's first dev release was
released 4 months later.

At the very least, writing up my little dilemma helps me think it through.
I think a PHP solution
is starting to materialize in my mind.  If I was smart I would take this
opportunity to figure out
modules, and hooks, and what not.    I saw the Simplest module example and
understand it.
OK, I need to stop finger babbling and get my brain in gear.

Thanks,
Phil

Here is what I do.

1.  Create registration type
2.  Create a content type with a registration field.
3. Create a node of the new content field that selects the registration
type  that I created.

This has worked very well for me.

  Thanks Steve,
  It helps, but it's a bit beyond my current level of Drupal expertise.  I
  think I'm
  so close I can taste it.  I think I have everything I need (modules or
  coding) and it's just a matter
  of setup.

  Yaworski of Toronto Website Developer is doing exactly what I want to do,
  but I think the combination
  of modules he is using is just prior to when all of this was integrated
  into one module (Registrations).
  Specifically, he sets up the "Click to Register" feature right about 2:40
  in the youtube video below.

  He uses node references.  I go through the steps, but I don't end up with
  a
  link to my registration page.
  I don't end up with a link at all.
  I think the answer is staring me in the face, but I just can't see the
  trees through the forest.

  You have a few of choices.

   You can make a view and use replacement tokens.  Using the Views module
  you could for example display your listings on a calendar or in a table.

  If you want people to view the specific node then you could edit your
  theme
  template file to but a button on the node itself.  I think you could also
  do this maybe even without code using the Display Suite Module  (
  https://drupal.org/project/ds).

  In terms of taking out the tab that would also require changes to your
  theme.

  Hope this helps.

    I'm using the registration module to create scheduled events.
    I have a view that shows the events.
    I would like to add a button or a link that would bring up the
    registration
    form for that event.

    I have the title setup as a link to the original piece of content.  If
  I
    click on it, I get the
    tabs (View, Edit, Manage Registrations, Register.    I want my button
  to
    go
    strait to that
    node.

    For instance, the node for the event is        node/457.  I click on
  the
    register tab and I
    get        node/457/register.

    How can I create a button that would take me strait to
  node/457/register?
    Also, I would need it to not show the other 3 tabs.    I don't want the
    people registering for the
    event to be able to have those functions available.

    Is that enough information?
    Thanks,
    Phil Wetzel
