Best methods for doing event registration and management?
goose2000 - April 29, 2009 - 19:15
Hi folks,
I did look around the forums about this and looked a number of modules. There does seem to be almost too many roads to follow when it comes to event management in Drupal. So I'm hoping here from anyone doing a lot of events management in Drupal, and with what?
I really think Drupal could be very strong in this area and maybe even a profile could be made for this sort of purpose.
So any ideas on these?:
Event module
Singup module
Organic groups used in some way to do event registration?
Conference module
CiviCRM
I think there are more but you get the idea - which are better at what, and why?
Very interested in this as
Very interested in this as well. Have posted the following post http://drupal.org/node/445362 which deals with basically the same question.
I am trying to find out a simple module that lets me create a nice form which can be submitted and on the same time sent an email to the registar and the organisation with all the details. In addition I would like to post all addmissions on my website in order to let people see who is attending. To do this I would like to use views so that I have maximum control over the output.
CCK seemed a good choice -easy form setup- but the thing is....users always see 'create (content type)' when filling in and there is no email management in it like webform does have.
Webform does have a quick solution for great forms with ample emailcapabilities and also analyzing features but since it does not output nodes you cannot filter the results using views.
Anyway, hope that my info can help you picking the right one.

Hi Tmanagement,
I read over your post there, and if your needs are not too complex, sure you could use CCK content-type to collect, sort and view your registrants. But I am after probably something a little more complex. I need features like:
registration open / close dates
seats
wait lists
custom registrations questions per Event instance
attendance / transcript report
free / cost events
prerequisite / conditional registration
produce a PDF certificate if marked attended
I'll stop there...
Some of the above have this and some don't.

Hi Goose2000,
I would love a lot of your features as well but since there is not even a quick and easy module for my most basic needs I did not even dare to dream about having the possiblities you named ;)
So when you have got the solution please let me know.
Looking for something similar
I've used a combination Event, Event Manager and Event Manager Block for a previous site, but that was running Drupal 5. I'm about to start on a simialr project but would really like to use Drupal 6.
Did you find a good way to do it in D6?

Complex Event Management in Drupal 6
I'm looking for event management way beyond the basics as well, using Drupal 6 -- much of what has already been stated by others previously.
Has anyone received a solution/recommendation on which packages (e.g. CCK, civiCRM) that would best serve this goal?
Thanks!

Although very busy lately and therefore no time to look into this again I can say that my previous needs are not yet fullfiled. In the end I used webform which did the basics but still not what I wanted to. Therefore, still looking for more options and flexibility. It seems that the guys from drupalcon have sorted out much of our questions so it might be an idea to ask how they did it?
