CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi all,
We are using civi (3.1.4) together with joomla in an expo / tradeshow application where people can register for events and choose a number of options (tables, power, internet etc), each with a price, (either with or without price set) and of course with contributions (only pay later option).
The issue is that once the registration has been made, the registrant often comes back (about 30-40% of the time) and wants to make changes in his options.
It seems that, on the backend of civi, the registration & its options are "frozen" and cannot be changed, unless you delete it and re-do it with the right options, which is cumbersome & time consuming. 

Would it not be possible to simply allow the editing of the chosen options for any given event registration (at least for admin - back end) ? This would be enough, even if the contribution is not changed and differences manually accounted for. Of course if contribution differences could also be handled, & front end option editing as well, that would be fantastic.

Has anybody done this before or have a solution ?
Txs in advance,

Hi

We are highly interested in that feature too and would like to push any work in this direction.
Best regards

If i had to guess, just making those changes without any change to the contributions would be 5-20 hours or so. Your starting point would be:

CRM/Event/Form/Participant.php

However i do think, a complete solution would need to include changes to the contribution record
