Hi,

Not sure how to approach this but ....

virtual classroom scenario.

I would like to create a signup interface where the user signups interest based on location.
say northern suburbs, westerns suburbs, eastern suburbs, southern suburbs. ie link to the locations.

What is the best way to approach this?

Thanks in advance.

Title: signup for location » Is multiple signups possible?

on reviewing what I have ...

I need to rephrase.

ie.

class room listing node with
- location data associated with it
- signup associated with it.

I could limit the search to a particular location using location proximity search.

So the question now will be ...

Is multiple signups possible?

Is there a way to MASS select via a checkbox or something, the classroom listing to allow multiple signups?

cheers

Still doesn't make sense, sorry. ;) Can you try to explain this in more detail:

signup allows "multiple" signups already -- a given node can have an unlimited # of users sign up for it (unless you specifically define a limit).

are you asking "is there a way so that a user can signup for multiple nodes at the same time?" ? if so, see:

Hi Derek,

Thanks for the links.

#151898: Multiple Forms on Single Page Hack (Signup Specific)

would probably be the closest.

But in terms of UI is would be similiar to the [compare it] function in this link.

http://www.trulia.com/IL/Chicago/

- By clicking on the check boxes, and then click on [compare it],
- the function allows a single user to [signup] to the selected nodes.
- a page displays the list of nodes selected, and confirms signup.
- user confirms [signup].
- done.

I'll be happy to sponsor something like this.

I am pledging $200.

I will create a [Chipin] to see if anyone is willing to contribute.

cheers
Ed

I have a sports site where I NEED to enter multiple users /teams / directors / coaches / players / locations at once.
The one by one screen entry is driving me nuts so I am willing to pitch in with deign ideas and with money.

I need the ability to either add / enter / modify multiple users at once It could be by group or
-- enter multiple users to belong to one group at once
-- Or / and it could be
multiple players
Multiple Directors
Multiple Locations
Multiple Managers
Multiple Teams
etc
-- Multiple anything with a set of info..

I see it as simple as an Excel spreadsheet, where the fields are listed as the header column and have multiple rows where I can enter the data. If the plug-in allows also to connect certain columns to do lookups (on already existing fields) For example if I already have my locations table (where I have address, city, state, zip, of the play fields) I just select from the drop down menu on in the spreadsheet cell the field and move on to the next Colum or row. I have the architectural mind for this, I do not have the coding time, so I am willing to help engineer it and pay for the programming.

Once the mega sheet is filled, then a recursive script goes and plugs it all in one by one if need be -- But scripts can do teht very easily we as humasn entering thousands of users one by one is a pain.

It will be nice itf it allow for field matching and importing / exporting to / from a tab delimited or CVS file.

I am up for it and in need of it.

If I am reading this correctly, I believe that what he is requesting is something that I am interested in as well.

Basically, I would like to make it possible to sign up for different things on the same event.

For instance, say I was hosting a show at a music venue. I would like to have the ability for the users to sign up for different types of tickets.
So for one show, there could be 20 VIP tickets, 200 main floor, and 200 balcony seats which I need the users to be able to sign up for separately.

Barry769-- if you're not already using the signup_status module, it could do what you're describing. Just set up each ticket class as a status, and then use per status limits to restrict the number of each available.
