Sometimes one needs anonymous users to be able sign up without having to register and/or login. Attached you will find a patch that adds a checkbox to the signup administration form, enabling an administrator to allow anonymous users to sign up directly.

the problem is that you can't just collect the signup data, and then insert it into the various tables with uid == 0. then only 1 anonymous user can ever signup for a given event. ;)

however, you're in luck. the previous maintainer of signup, hunmonk, is actively working on a patch to provide exactly this functionality, but to do it for real by modifying signup's DB schema to allow this to really work. it should be ready any day now. in fact, when i first saw this issue title, i was sure it would be him finally posting his patch. ;) anyway, thanks for the patch, but you definitely shouldn't spend any more time working on this. it'll be done very soon. we'd gladly welcome your help testing hunmonk's patch when it's ready, and providing feedback on it, so stay tuned...

thanks,

Thanks for your elaborate response Derek. I should have known that it it is not that easy. I'm not a Drupal specialist (yet) however. After I'm finished with the site I'm currently working on with Bèr Kessels, I definitly know quite a bit more though. It's that site I need this functionality for. If we can expect the real solution as soon as you assume, I definitly won't spend any more time on it, because we still have an awfull lot of other things to do. The site has to be up and running by the end of this month though, so I'll keep my fingers crossed that hunkmonk's patch it ready in time.

Thanks for the effort. Even a bit sooner than expected:) I'll test it right away and report back on any issues I run into.
