When permission is set i can signup other users to an event.
I'm looking for a way to request a signup by other users. Since i don't want to decide for other users to attend but let them know there is something going on they might be interested in. Is someone working on it or ist there another module which focusses this feature? As far as i can see signup_status does not exactly do that but seems to be close.

Thanks for any hint. Ronald

Maybe "invite signup" is a better name. Similar to RSVP but for signup, not event-nodes.

You mean a link you can click that brings you to a form to fill in people's email addresses, type in a personalized message, and press "Invite" that sends them an email with a link to the signup-enabled node and their customized text?

No, I don't know of anything that exists like that. It'd be very easy to make as a separate module, instead of trying to bolt it directly into signup.module itself. "signup_invite.module" or something. It could be its own project, just like signup_status or whatever. This doesn't need to know anything about signup, really, so it doesn't have to modify the signup.module code at all.

In fact, it's really more like the send module -- lets you type in some custom text and lets you email people a link to a given node. That's basically all you need...

Cheers,

I'm posting this comment to share my excitement.

Webform is a fantastic way to get flexible functionality into all your modules.
It's easy to write php code that directs your visitor upon submission.
And you can write special field types that do specific things with certain modules.

For instance, you could build a webform, for an event, that would insert the user into the signup table and send invites to their friends. It is incredibly flexible and customizable. If you know php.

I'm also looking for modules that take the PHP part out of the equation.

Derek,

thanks for pointing me to send module. In fact its not important to interact with signup module.

All i need is a feature which allows a node author to send invitations/notify to multiple (already signed up) users. It's not exactly what send module does but i guess it's a better place to start (and ask) with. :-)

cheers, Ronald
