CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

If you want people to pay online or record their payments you will also need CiviContribute. CiviMail is also worth the effort if you have the resources.

You do need a location for an event but you don't need to enter it every time - you can set up  event templates with defaults - I think the floss manual describes how?

You can play with event statuses to see if you can acheive what you want that way.

Anybody ?

Here's how we did it in the past:
- You can preregister, and that's only registering on the website before the convention.
- All money is by cash on the reg. desk.
- You come to the desk to register for an event and pay the entry fee then you get an event ticket.
- Game Masters can set up events for the convention on the website weeks before the convention.

Is that enough? :s . What else do you need to know?

Okay I finally know how to be clear on what I want and clear with my questions.

This is what I want:
- People to be able to register themselves as an Individual. Create events and participate in these events with CiviEvent.

If they are an Individual people at the registration desk will be able to have admin accounts that can make individuals register for events also.

All I need is the ability for end users to create their own Individual, create events, participate in events.

I use Drupal. So is there a way to create a user in Drupal and that user is automatically an Individual? Or is this all done in CiviCRM itself?

Also is there a way to ensure events can only be created on Feb 18-20 2011?

Hi,

I would write a custom module using the api to have a one screen event creation, the rest should be out of the box.

Hi,

This chapter should give you a good overview of event features (seems to be more advanced that you want):
