I really would like to find a way for registered users of my Drupal site to be able to Register for events I am hosting. Not all registered users would be in every event and once they are logged in to the site, ideally it would be easy for them to register for any new events I would add.

And then I'd also like to integrate PayPal paying for those events.

I tried the event.module but it was WAY too basic for what I am looking for.

I got interested in Drupal due to this need and now that I have it installed, I am doubting that it will suit my needs.

Anyone know of a way to make this happen? I am by no means a drupal developer so I wouldn't be able to create my own module for this need.

I haven't tried this but it should work. Install and enable both the event and e-commerce modules. Create a new event, then turn it into a product. Notifications could be handled by the core email notifications or you could use massmailer or e-newsletter modules.

CivicSpace is doing a rewrite of event.module also but that probably won't address your problem directly or immediately as it sounds like it's more of a calendaring API that other modules can build upon.

Is this what you're looking for ? "This module lets users invite people to the events and maintain a list of people who will be attending. Similar to eVite.com or meetup.com.". You'll find it here : http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/contrib/contributions/modules/rsvp/ . It is also part of the Civicspace distribution.

i will try it out. Thanks.

Ideally, I want to force registrants to provide certain registration information and then when they pay the event registration fee, their user info goes to an attendees list.

I haven't even figured out how to list registered memebers list so I think I have a long way to go! :)

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

I installed it and get this error when trying to send out an RSVP:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: db_escape_string() in /home/webusers/mdowsett/dowsett.ca/cdnnats/modules/rsvp.module on line 827

Progress...but help!!!

would it be related to me not being able to send ANY email notifications out at this point (to which I don't know why that isn't working either). I have the banner.module installed and expiry messages don't go out as they are supposed to either.

Don't mix module sfrom cvs HEAD with Drupal 4.5. Get the rsvp module from civicspace, it should be compatible.

If you have troubles with a particular contrib project, please consider filing a support request. Thanks. And, by the way, Drupal 4.5 does not work with PHP 5.

Does cvs mean Civic Space?

How do I find which version of PHP is on my server?

thx for your help.

In my understanding, CVS is the developpement version of Drupal and 4.5.2 is the last stable release. Civicspace is a sort of Drupal base distribution like for linux. i.e. it's Drupal, but with some more or less modules + one installer. Civicspace is here : http://civicspacelabs.org/download. And last, to know what php version is running on your server, you can write a little script :


<?php>
 phpinfo()
<?>

regards.

Thanks for the Civicspace clarification. That is what I thought it was. It seems that they don't even have a finished/supported product and it is just a collection of modules and tables preconfigured. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

That PHP script didn't seem to work....I am getting more and more frustrated.

I also catch the drift about not mixing cvs and Drupal modules...but is there a list that shows which are cvs and which are not? I find the documentation on Drupal scares and scattered. It sure doesn't make things easy...

I am using PHP 4.3.10 so that rules that out...I am still having a problem using probably 80% of the modules I have added and wondering what I am doing wrong. Most don't give any errors and I find all the items (int the admin and settings) to get them working....very frustrating.

i am importing the mysql tables. For the most part, modules seem to install 'ok' as I see the modules in the administer/modules area...it's just that various features just don't work...

This is a test site I am working on....and not testing out too well...

Someone recommended PhpScheduleit, because according to him the event and RSVP modules just weren't up to the task.

Does this have the attention of developers?
