I would like to make it so an attendee of an event can mark their own status to attended after event has taken place. Is there a way to configure this? I am thinking something along the lines of the confirmation logic for an event for a potential attendee that requires confirmation, but in this case the confirmation being sought is the marking of status Attended after the event has actually taken place. If this can't be configured are there any good jumping off places for customizing for this behavior?

I created a profile with just one field "Participant Status".  Then I created a link to to the profile so that a person could update their status " ie change it to attended ) . However, when using the URL http://devd.mygroup.com/civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=8  I get the error message:
Profile search, view and edit are not supported for Profiles which include fields for more than one record type.

What fields should be configured within this profile?
