Hi David, I broke this and don't know how. I've made changes (I thought) in other areas, but I don't think it could have broken it.
Now, when I click on the link it translates to node/1/register - not to node/479/register. Any idea what happened? Thanks, 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.

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. Phil

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 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
