Hi there,

In a previous discussion Lobo mentioned that having an event full hook might be a good idea - I'd like to resurrect it.

I was trying to implement a scenario where some roles counted and others didn't towards the event being full and submitted a patch

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-4924?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel

However, I found a limitation with what I was doing - the event full function is called before you can input the role (or other details) about the latest registration. So, once the event is full you can't add another 'not-counted' role like a volunteer because the event is already defined as full before the role can be entered in the registration form. I also tried to set it by url using a hook but didn't manage to add my extra participant that way either.

I'm not sure I understand that correctly
