Hook with another component via plugin
December 26, 2011, 01:50:52 pm
Hi,

So is it possible to use another Joomla component to manage Events and then at a certain part in the process to send updates to the CiviEvent system?

For example, I am interested in using DTRegister to manage my event (one option I am considering) as it is more powerful that Civi. I can create all the fields, etc on it and then when a user clicks submit I want it to send various info to CiviCRM so that I can track a user as registered for an event in Civi too and update any necessary civi database fields.

yes, you should be able to use the CiviCRM API to add a participant and its associated data to an existing event

Hmm interesting so this might be a good way to do event registration if I find that CiviEvents isn't powerful enough. I guess I will see what happens when it gets to the point where I have to test this out.

So I would program something like this right http://svn.civicrm.org/civicrm/trunk/api/v3/examples/EventUpdate.php basically using that and the API and then linking it all together.
