Hello-

I am new to CiviCRM/CiviEvent.

What I'd like to do, is have a page in Drupal (6) that is either a webform, or a straight up online registration page from civievent, where a user can register online, creating an account, requesting further info, and receiving a confirmation email. (I have most of this working)
What I'd also like to do, is present the user with an additional option to register (or NOT) for a free event (information session).
let's say July 5th at 2:00, or July 6th at 3.
I'd further like the events to disappear gracefully, when the event has reached it's capacity.
I'd also like these events to fire a cron job to send a reminder email (CiviMail) to the participant, say one week prior to the event.

I'd appreciate any direction in making this all work. It seems like it's all there, I'm just not sure the best method for putting it all together.

Thanks

Dan

Hi Lobo -
Thanks for the reply.
I'm poking the management here to see if we can help sponsor the cron/event/mail initiative.

As far as the other question, perhaps I didn't explain myself well.

What I'd like is a page for people to register (Name, email, addy, and a few custom fields)
Then give them the option to select an event to attend. ( e.g. Info session at 2:00, info session at 5:00 in a list (or calendar that I already have working))

Where I get stuck is presenting the user with a choice of the above events INSIDE the registration process. It feels like the civievent online registration function works when you pick the event FIRST then go through the process of name, address etc.

so the form would look like this:

name:
email:
event: (Choose one)
tuesday, 12/12/at 12:00
wednesday 12/13 at 12:00 ...

<submit>


so when i pull an event registration list for the tuesday event, it includes the guy who just registered. (plus all the cool functionality of events that I don't have to code! )

Thanks!

Dan
