Is there any way to use the entire "New individual" profile when registering a participant for an event? Currently when I register a participant and select "New individual" all I get are the fields for first name, last name and email address.

If that's not possible is there anyway to assign a new contact to an event when you add them (the contact).

Thanks for any help

Quite useful but it's a requirement for the client to add new contacts to an event on the fly, this can be done when registering participants to an event and add new individual but there are a few important fields that I'm unable to select ie the contact's address

You mean from the back office?

You can modify the "New individual" profile and add the fields.

FYI, we have developed a "on the venue" interface where from the same page you get instant access to all the participants, mark them attended, create new ones, both from new contacts or existing ones and print a badge. We'd need between 4 and 8 hours to clean it and make it generic and release it properly (agpl). If your client needs something like that, it could make it happen.

If you think you've found a bug in the webform_civicrm module you can post it in the issue queue (which is moderated by me). I can tell you now that this is probably not a bug. What webform_civicrm does (assuming you've disabled the autofill contact 1 with logged-in user option) is search for an existing contact using the default strict dedupe rule. If it's a match, then that contact will be updated. If not, a new one will be created.
Check your rule. If it is based on email only, then you'll need to enter a different email address on the webform if you want to create a new contact.

Is there anyway to have the Event list updated automatically in the webform? Currently the user will have to go to the relevant webform field and enable the event manually after adding a new event in civicrm.

Thanks

That's a feature request that I've gotten a few times (including from myself). Currently no, but it would be cool to find a sponsor for that

Client's happy with the way things are, one for the future 

Great module by the way
