I'm trying to set up an event as follows

Members are allowed to book on to the event immediately
Non members need to have some additional registration information captured and then their registration needs to be approved/declined

What I'd like to be able to do is to interrupt the registration process when someone clicks on the "continue" button on the Event Registration page (after they have entered their email address. This is the point that I can check whether the email address entered is associated with a member or not, and either continue to the Thank You for Registering (if they are a member) or send them to another page if they are not.

I'm quite capable of writing the code for this, I just need to know whether there is a facility built in already or where I need to go to hack the "continue" button code

Thanks

u'll need to add this functionality, not present by default

Might make sense to just create a simple: "Enter your email address" as the first form and based on that check send them to either event registration if member OR another page if not a member. I suspect a lot less code involved this way

Alternatively, if they are logged in, you can check for membership status and display the event registration link conditionally

That's my plan if it couldn't be done any other way

Thanks

Privacy concern: it means that an anonymous user can know if john@doe.com is or isn't a member of your org. Not sure it's an issue for you.

Using checksum token, you can test if the user is existing or not and based on that probably play in the buildform to assign or not the profile (beware, that's probably not so simple, the way the profiles pre and post are assigned are a bit different than the normal fields if I recall properly).

Might be easier to redirect to something different indeed as per lobo's suggestion
