Description
here is my question:
a new event has been created and the Registered Status limit is set to 30 and Wait Listed status limit is set to 0.
what happens once the 30th person has registered and the event is supposedly full now? what do anonymous users see when they view this event now? is option to register still available to them, even though the event is full now?
#1
when you reach 30, the system will no longer accept more signups.
What I did is create a statuses called:
- Pending Approval (renamed the default status to this)
- Wait Listed
- Approved
And put a limit of 30 approved people and no limit on the others.
The admin confirms registration by changing the first 30 from pending to approved and then the rest to wait listed. This way it keeps registration open for more people to register past 30.

I'd like to propose some changes to provide the user a form to signup for the wait list once the registration is filled.
Display the signup form, as is, until the registered limit is met.
When registered limit is met, display the wait list form.
Note: this is the same form, with a message at the top of the form.
e.g. The Signup Limit has been met. You can submit this form to be placed on the Wait List. If there is a cancellation, you can be added to the registration list and contacted.
Once the wait list has been filled, close signups.
Please post any thought/comments.

If I set registered users to 3, why can I get 4/3 users registered? (and more)

I have the same issue, we are working to resolve it.

This is going to be cleaned up and mostly working nicely via #359412: Move code for signup limits per status per node into a submodule and #241869: Improve interface for setting number of signups allowed per status. That proposal isn't directly going to address automatically moving signups from the wait list to another status when there are cancelations, but it's going to pave the way for solving this problem for real... Interested parties should review and test the patches and screenshots in those issues, and/or read the full spec at
#359412-3: Move code for signup limits per status per node into a submodule (http://drupal.org/files/issues/359412-3.signup_status_limit.spec_.pdf) and provide your feedback there. Thanks.
