Mailing Labels and Badges or Name Tags

[tripp]

I have a suggestion to save some steps for name-tags.

My suggestions, and not being the expert, I do not know how difficult it would be.

How easy would it to be to add the 'Mailing Labels' option in the '-more actions-' drop-down box after you have clicked on the 'registered/attended' link which shows the participants for an event (civicrm/event/search?reset=1&force=1&event=284&status=true)?  This would give a quick and easy way to print the name tag or badge without having to do a separate search.

Beyond that suggestion, is there an easy way to have more than one 'mailing label' setup in 'CiviCRM › Administer CiviCRM › Global Settings > Address Settings' so that you could have a default mailing label and name-tag saved at the same time?

I am using Drupal/Civicrm for my wife to manage a 900 member non-profit organization.  The work that has been put into developing this is wonderful. 

Thanks,
Tripp

if you are a programmer and willing to invest time/energy, adding a mailing label task to event search is not too hard. Contact us on IRC if you'd like to work on this.

adding support for 2 mailing labels is a bit more difficult (involved db schema changes)

Neat idea.

Has something been done on it ?

I'm under the gun to get an event registration / ticket sales online within the next few days, and as part of this I may need to add the ability to print mailing labels from CiviEvent so that we can mail out the physical tickets to participants. 

I do have lots of programming experience, though not much of it is in PHP (lots of Perl, Java, C, R, etc.).  I'm only barely proficient in PHP.  But I do understand how to work with SVN, make patches, etc.

Is this something I could get some direction on for the technical aspects?

Thanks.

Hi,

you can advanced search the contacts, add as filter the event (and status), then you can print the mailing labels
