Hey Guys,

I'm working on a 5K Walk-a-thon.

I need a solution that will allow an on-line user to select whether his/her registration is for an individual or for a team registration.

Does anyone know how to implement a solution as such?

By enabling "Register multiple participants", you provide a mechanism for an individual to register as many people as they choose for the event and pay the fees with a single transaction.
You might wanna set it Administer CiviCRM › Manage Events › Configure Event › Online Registration

Check :
http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/event?reset=1&action=update&id=3&subPage=Registration

After configuring the event accordingly on the registration form, the user can select how many additional participants s/he wants to register for the event.

Yashodha,

The event feature I am searching for gives an individual a choice between registering as an individual or registering a team (for a fee) in which others can join (register for additional fees) at a later date.

For instance, the on-line public event screen would prompt me to register as an individual for the Walk-A-thon. As well as, it would prompt me to register as a team (for a transaction fee). I make the selection to register as a team.

For example, I make the selection to register as a team named "Wal-Mart Walkers". I pay a transaction fee to setup the team. Later others join the "Wal-Mart Walkers" team and pay additional transaction fees (if necessary). All members of the team are visible to the public which in turn encourage others who do not want to participate as individual Walk-a-thon participants, join teams.

Does this make sense?

U'll need to write some code to do this. Here's one approach

1. Create two events: one for team registration, one for individuals

2. The team registration populates a custom field (of type select) via a custom hook

3. the individual registration includes this custom field so an individual can pick "walmart walkers"

OR

4. Another option would be to use PCP (personal contribution pages) and set them up as team pages. (you get more a thermometer and a roll this way)

if you are not a php developer, consider hiring someone from http://civicrm.org/professional/ to help your org with this. Please let us know what you did and how and share your code
