Events' Website- How to do it?

c-c-m - February 11, 2009 - 23:16

Hello,

I would like to do a website where users may create their own activities/events so other users can sign up to them. Does anybody know how can I achieve it? I have been investigating and I found CiviCRM, which can do that pretty well except that only administrators can create events and manage registrations, and I would like that users (or a certain role) could do it. Can anybody give me some advice about that?

Thank you

I believe that this can be

I believe that this can be done with the Organic Groups family of modules.

If you're using 6, it looks like there's an RSVP module for Organic Groups: http://drupal.org/project/og_rsvp

The organic groups calendar http://drupal.org/project/og_calendar lets you do multiple event calendars, or if you only want to have one event calendar, you could try the normal calendar module - http://drupal.org/project/calendar. But then you might have to custom rsvp thing, probably could do it using the voting API if all you care about is who's going? Not sure.

Have you looked into CCK as well? You could use that to create an event form that allows users with sufficient permission to post events. For the registrations, if you'll excuse a bit of blatant self-promotion, you might be able to use Autocreate Node Reference to make a reference to a registration form (which you'd create using Webform) where other users can sign up for the event.

Or use the RSVP module.

I'm trying to do something

I believe he wants other users ALREADY REGISTERED to say if they'll attend
and not other users, outside the website

I'm trying to do something similar right now...

Actually I want to be able to have a listing of users who choose to attend an event (much like the facebook event application)
I could that using the poll module (core) I suppose, but I'm looking for some more advanced solution

for now (this "problem" just emerged) I was just using core modules, events were simple nodes (stories)
seems I have to go for something more event-like

I would be glad for any advice also :)

How 'bout Signup?

If you just want a simple yes/no headcount, try Signup.

CiviEvents is great, but only if you're doing something elaborate, like a multi-day workshop with paid registration.

signup does it

@firstlut

I installed signup last night and I really liked it
after endless searching and trying (civicrm, events, og) the most simple solution for me was signup :D
if only I had seen your post earlier, I would have 3 hours more sleep :D

@c-c-m
of course I also recommend giving signup a try and if you make any progress i'd love to learn about it

at the moment all I've done is:
install signup, create a new content-type (called "trips") and enabled signup for that particular type
I made the new content-type in order to be able to filter it later, a simple story would do the job!
now all users (even non registered ones if i choose to) can signup for the event and I have the ability to mass-contact them (ex: the trip is canceled)

next step is to create a calendar displaying them! I havent used the "events" module because it is still in DEV :(

Thank you to all for

Thank you to all for responding, and sorry for not having said anything till today.

I've been investigating as well and my doubt is whether I should use signup, which works pretty well and pretty simply (maybe too simple) or CiviCRM, which has plenty of options but haven't been able to integrate it into nodes or make them accessible/searchable for everyone.

wel... the question is pretty

bserem - March 6, 2009 - 01:20

wel... the question is pretty simple then:

isn't signup enough for your needs? if it is enough then go for it :)

Bserem, Signup would be a

c-c-m - March 8, 2009 - 17:38

Bserem,

Signup would be a short-term solution: it doesn't track people's attendances, it can't include payment subscriptions, send invites to friends... like CIVI CRM does

it tracks attendances, but

bserem - March 10, 2009 - 02:43

it tracks attendances, but that's all there is to it :)

if you finish your project I'd love to have a look at it
