CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

hi,
i want to be able to allow people to register for an event twice or more times but unfortunately civicrm is not allowing it. they get an error saying:
"Oops. It looks like you are already registered for this event. If you want to change your registration, or you feel that you've gotten this message in error, please contact the site administrator. You can also register another participant."

is there some code or option i can edit to allow multiple registrations from the same person?

i also have another question: if i create an event registration manually in the backend how do i get the person to pay via paypal? it would be good so that when you create the event registration a link to pay via paypal is included in the confirmation email. is there any way to have this?

im using joomla and civi 3.3.2

my events are actually classes that run weekly over 10 weeks. people may choose to attend once a week, twice a week, three times, etc. sometimes people will want to increase the amount of classes they do per week so the easiest thing is to get them to register again and choose and pay for the additional classes.

1. There is no option for this, u'll need to modify the code directly here:

CRM/Event/Form/Registration/Register.php, function checkRegistration

there might be other places and u'll need to understand the code a bit to change it

2. There is no option to send an invoice for someone to pay their event registration when done in the backend

What part of the code do you actually change to allow duplicate registrations?

Thanks
