CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Okay, let me see if I can explain this...

We have an event that's almost full, so I've set permissions to allow ONLY registered site users to register for events.  That means that two employees and I have the ability to put in a select few people using the online form, but Joe off the street can't put himself in.  So far so good.

However, I made the mistake of registering myself for the event while I was logged in, and now I can't register anyone else.  I get the "Oops, looks like you already registered" message whenever I try.  If I log out, I'm not able to register anyone (permissions), and if I reset the permissions to allow for anonymous registration again, we will get unwanted registrations.

Can anyone suggest a workaround?

Thanks!

any reason why you dont register a person via the admin screens?

i.e. view a contact, click on events and enter a new event registration (or credit card reg if u have the right payment processor)

Then I'm afraid that's a two steps process:
- create a new contact,
- register her to the event

I would be great to have an option to register someone else than oneself using the normal registration form, but I'm afraid it'd need some community financial involvement. Do you think you could help ?

Ok, what about a new mode triggered by a new param (&forceNew=1 for instance) that wouldn't take into account the logged in user but offers to register like a regular anonymous user ?

On the registration form, add a message: don't want to register {first_name} {last_name}, <a href=...&forceNew=1>register another person</a> ?

Message displayed both on the normal form or on the looks like you are already registered.

Lobo, could you give an estimate for the dev of that ?

i'd say 20 hours for both events and contributions. i suspect the actual code will be much less than that, but i suspect that this will introduce a few bugs/issues that we need to clean up to get it working
