Have you considered downloading the zipped file from DrupalCamp LA? They have a zipped barebones version of their site for learning and had excellent event registration.

Hello,

I am the developer for this site. It is a custom module because there is nothing out that there that could do what we needed it to.

And you should see the back-end system - it is superb. He's done a great job on it.

Would there be a possibility to either release said module to the public either as an open source or paid solution? This sounds like something the Drupal community is in dire need of considering that I just scoured the web looking for such a module. DT Register is great, but it's only available for Joomla.

I would also be really interested in this model. I have clients who would be willing to pay for it.

Send them an email and ask them. I doubt any on the forums will recognize it.

I would be willing to rewrite this module into something that is usable for the community. At the moment, it's written exactly to the needs of this client, so it would be useful if you could link to other potential uses to see where this needs to be made more flexible and useful to everyone else.

I also would like to see this module developed. There seems to be so many different ways to do an event registration but from what I have see your site looks the cleanest. I have also looked at the Drupal Camp LA, and while its is GREAT !! I would prefer to have a module that I can just upload to our clients site.

Great Job and keep us posted !!

Thanks

I would be interested in a module like this. I've always had trouble with event registration modules.

I've started the initial planning for this module, but it would be good to hear from people who are interested in this module and what they would use it for. That way I can figure out how I'm gonna make this work well in different situations.

Comment away if interested...

I might need something like this in a few months, for (adult) course registration.

The only thing I'd suggest is that it would be nice to be able to break long data-collection forms into several sections, it's a little daunting. It's the sort of thing I'd possibly handle in jQuery, with the single long form remaining as a non-js fallback.

What do you think you might use for building the custom data-collection form? Or is that form outside the scope of the module, ie it needs to be built using FAPI or Webform or whatever?

I think this project could quickly get quite big, so it's probably best to start with something simple and allowing editing with form_alter/FAPI, rather than including a form builder.

My thoughts are with all the API changes in D7, like PDOs for all the db work, and the schedule for D7s release (a few months away?), it's probably not worth porting this to D6.

Hi Matt,

Thank you for your willingness to develop a stand-alone module and share your work with the community.

As for features, I could really use something that would allow people to sign up for training classes that our election agency holds around the state of Wisconsin. There are a certain number of seats available for each class, so the module would need to close enrollment after they were all registered for.

Cheers,

Reid

The nonprofit I am with holds an annual meeting along with a science meeting (every 2-4 years). We use a combination of Eventbrite and PayPal right now... but nothing does what we want really. So that being said....

Main Event registration
Sub-events (or breakout sessions, individual classes, whatever you want to call them)
Special needs (wheelchair, etc)
Meal selection
Second guest (if complementary)
Scholarship request or code
Printed / Emailed Receipt with confirmation and instructions (and attachments)
Upgrade options (if applicable)
Meeting/Sponsorship/Scholarship payment
Add Donation to payment
Member management (see who's coming, change your reservation,etc)

Is that too much? I think I can go on with more... :) If you need help along the way with testing or whatnot, feel free to contact me.

Will
