Hi Steve,
That was it. I didn't think that the reg type was on the permissions
screen, but it is.
That killed 2 birds. Anonymous users can now register, and they don't see
the
"Manage Registrations" or "edit" tabs.
Just 2 important issues left!
Waitlist not working, and getting it to use the email from the other email
field for
anonymous registrants. I think the waitlist problem must be some sort of
setup issue.
No idea about the email one yet.
Getting there,
Thanks again,
Phil

Make sure you are setting the permissions for each of your registration
entity types. If you let people register for others in the configuration
make sure this permission is set as well. In this same manner by not
allowing the register other permission this will suppress the registration
for others.
I think this will get you to a next strong milestone.

My implementation of Entity Registration is coming along, but I have a
few
deal breaker
issues, that I don't know how to fix yet. I haven't had to write any PHP
code (or modify
theme) at this point, but I think I'm going to have to in order to
achieve
the behavior I
need.
"Modify the theme" is still a hurdle I haven't cleared yet. I believe
it involves writing
hooks, which is a new concept for me. I think when you see an example
of
a hook,
you will see it in the form "hook_SomeFunction". When you write the hook
for your implementation
you replace the word hook with the name of your theme. SomeFunction is a
function that
does already exist, and you are overriding it. Is that all correct?
Here are the specific tasks I need to accomplish.....
· David's suggestion on how to create the "Click to Register" Link
works great, except I still
get all 4 tabs (view, edit, manage registrations, register). I
just
need the register form with no
other tabs.
· Need to allow users to register when not logged in. Out of the
box,
you get 403 :Access denied.
· When I do manage to get around this, I will also need to suppress
the
dropdown
after "This registration is for" (Myself, other account, other
person). And the email box needs to
be required. Also, that email must be the one used when sending an
email to all registrants.
· When creating an event, there is a required comment field. I
think
this is not a deal breaker,
but I would like to get rid of it. It's not part of the
registration type or content types I'm using.
Where is this?
· Wait list is not working. Nothing seems to happen when
capacity is
exceeded . I remember
seeing discussion activity on this somewhere.
That's my list. I imagine these issues would be relatively easy for a
seasoned Drupal
developer. I think/hope they are not out of my capabilities, but I
expect
will be some what
challenging. I appreciate any and all help.
Thanks in advance,
Phil

Hi David,
Ah yes, That makes sense to me! And low and behold the Nid is an
available field.
You're right node/[nid]/register is what I want.
I had started writing PHP that does a db_query for all nodes of a certain
type...
Essentially, a home grown view. That way, I would have the NID at my
disposal.
I think I'll table that and try your way.
It was a great feeling when views started making sense to me. This could
be better!
I'm trying hard to expand my Drupal horizons while I can. I'm a long
time .Net coder
that fell into this Drupal opportunity 6 months ago. I certainly have
more
than I would
if I had done this writing .Net code 6 months ago. Plus, it'll be
maintainable by non-coders
long after I have left.
I'm trying to visualize how I would take this functionality and package
it
up into a module.
Feel free to have fun if I'm way off here. Create a .info and .module
file. In the .module
I would want to write a hook into views that would create my custom view?
It's reasonable to say module writers are PHP coders?
Thanks a bunch,
Phil

I just got done doing something similar where I was creating a "contest"
node type with associated "entry" nodes. I used entityreference and
entityreference_prepopulate to allow me to create relationships between
two
nodes, and again I was left with trying to figure out how to generate a
link for the user to create this content associated with the correct
node.
The basic strategy for generating the link was as follows
First create a "view" that shows a single node with fields (or a list),
with whichever of them you'd like to show. Next add the nid as a field
to
the view. This field will eventually become your link. In the
configuration of the nid field choose "Rewrite Results". Check the
"Rewrite the output of this field" options and type in the text you want
this link to appear as. Check the "Output this field as a link" option
specify the link path that you'd like to see. In your case it's probably
node/[nid]/register , but in my case I was building
node/add/entry?field_contest=[nid] and entityprepopulate took care of
defaulting in the referenced entity and hiding the field for the user.
This magic is basically how Organic Groups works these days which is
where
I found the information.
Hope that strategy helps you.

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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CHC8I9xZIg
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,
