Create your event as you would normally, but do NOT Select Public on the Info Settings Tab at the bottom, make sure that check Mark is off.

Complete the rest of your event.

When finished, Go To Manage Events, Go to the Event You Just setup and click on Event links, Registration Live. This will bring up the Online Registration Page, but will not be listed in the Front End Events Listing.

Copy the URL and then send that out via CiviMail to the Group you want.

1) you can have "approval required" events (enable the status on the participants)
2) For the second one, you can create the users as participants, and I *think* send a link to a page where they can change the status of the participant, with the check sum token, they should be able to do that

Take the second as a pointer, not sure if it's clearly described somewhere, search the forum/wiki, you should find more info hopefully.

How can I create a "by invitation only" event?  My intention is to create an event, then select a group of people that I want to invite to this event, send an invitation to them, and only the invitees will be able to register for the event.  Their registration will have to be approved by the admin.  And if approved, they will have to confirm their attendance.

Thanks!

Eggtart,

CiviCRM, Administer, CiviEvent, Participant Status, Enable "Awaiting approval" would be the first step. Still stepping through what X described as I need this option as well. Much better than what I had come up with on my own to solve my similar situation.

Hmm - I don't recall an option in Configure Event for default status in earlier releases. And did a quick check of 2.1 and 2.2 schema and don't see a column for that.

For both of you, I roughed in some (much needed) doc on the Approval Required registration mode here:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC33/Online+Registration

Please flesh it out / clarify if needed as you try this out.

On this client's site we have split screen registration up so I don't know if that is causing this problem that we are now having and we also re-installed 3.3.2.

When a user gos to the Registration Link for the initial registration,
Step 1 - Intro, Next
Step 2 - Number Attending and Email Address, Next
Step 3 - Name and Address Fields, Continue
After pressing Continue: Your registration has been submitted. Once your registration has been reviewed, you will receive an email with a link to a web page where you can complete the registration process.

So if I go in and change the Participant Status to Pending From Approval, (I take the check mark off from send confirmation email) and save, the user Gets the email that says "Confirm your Registration", click on link.

When the user Goes to that Link, the process is a little bit different - only 2 steps.

Select Button "Confirm Your Registration"
Step 1 - Intro "Welcome Test2 Dtsuser. (Not Test2 Dtsuser, or want to register a different person?)", Next
Step 2 - All user fields are already filled out as expected - but there is No EMAIL address field, Click on Continue.

Please correct the following errors in the form fields below:

    * Email Address is a required field.

I have not changed the Default Name and Address profile - so why is the email address field missing on the Confirm Registration Process.

D

That is exactly what I did.

It's when the participant returns to the registration site to Confirm Registration - for a Free Event . Like I said all the Fields are pre-filled in and there is No Email Address Field.

I don't have another 3.3.2 site setup that can send emails yet to test with.
 
It might have something to do with the Split Screen Registration, FormToWizard. I'll ask my programmer to disable that function so I can test again.

Thanks!
