CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Currently classes are setup as events, where parents using same email address can sign their children up with the use of custom fields.

Our client is also in need of multiple course registration. From a former posting (http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=15014.0), the flow probably most resembles this, but I haven't come across a solution.

Workflow A
1. Create each event separately as usual, specifying description, dates, location, fees (skipping online registration form)
2. Create a Multi-event online registration form where you basically specify which events to include, and the Online Registration configuration details (Profiles to include, confirmation text, thank-you and receipting)

My thinking is possibly creating one form for registration making use of "Price Sets" so a parent can simply check mark all the courses they want for one child, but events are also individually still listed (just without an online registration segment) so details can be seen about the class. When a user wants to register, they are taken to the price set form. Hopefully the price set form can also include the information of the course in the form of a popup or just text under or above the selection.

Additionally, is it possible I can segment the account profile information where Parent is the master but doesn't count towards registration, but children do? So, when a parent signs up a child they can choose which child is signing up for whichever registration instance?

Is this possible with civiCRM or other solutions available? I'd appreciate any guidance thank you.

You may want to also look at Webform Integration, as it can register multiple people for multiple events, create relationships between them, and it also meets your requirement of having a parent register children but not self.

Yes, the beta version has some additional fixes so you should try that.

If you can do a detailed QA cycle and then post on the forums with your impressions, what worked / what did not and detailed instructions on how to reproduce that would be great and help us fix a few more bugs/issues with it before the final release

Hi, I'm currently working on the Event Cart workflow and might be able to help with your configuration.  To get a dynamic "Add / Remove from Cart" element in Views, add the field "CiviCRM Events: Registration Link Text".

The missing "Cart" menu is an open issue, I think I will create an optional drupal menu item.

Hope your installation goes well!

A couple of things I've come across that seem to be rather glaring - I'm not sure if this is because I am setting it up incorrectly or because the functionality isn't there yet.

Use Case 1: Multiple participants for an Event
With events setup to allow for multiple participants to register and cart enabled, it seems it no longer gives a drop down box asking the number of participants when in checkout phase. There is however, an "Add Participant" link at the bottom in checkout which circumvents this. However, when I click on it nothing happens...

Ideally I want this to create a new participant, "Child", which is a standalone profile form with fields such as name of the child. I have Child set under events configuration for when adding participants, so I don't know what could be the problem as to why it does nothing when I click Add a participant... the link merely points to "/civicrm/event/cart_checkout#"

Use Case 2: Checkout Payment Processing
I've entered and chosen Paypal Standard with sandbox settings to test the payment processing. But, when I get to the point clicking "Complete Transaction" button, the page just seems to refresh.. but goes nowhere.

Use Case 3: Pay Later Option
Payments may be made later via check, so this option is set up under Events configuration. But, under cart and checkout, this doesn't seem to be available any longer. (Perhaps this has something to do with the above case mentioned and is processed in a later section).
