CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Our client wants to maintain a DB of their event presenters using their existing CiviCRM setup. Each presenter may be approved for multiple seminars.

I had originally thought to do this as a participant record and allow multiple uses of the same email address. However, because of the data that must be collected, the system will not let me save the Online Registration because the secondary presenter's additional profile is not "individual" although the initial profile is "individual".

So, how do I record these presentation submission records and have them associated with the presenter? And how best to associate the secondary presenter with the presentation?

I really thought I had this resolved, but obviously not.

ETA: I think using CiviCase may resolve this, although I'm open to any suggestions.

The client wants to track who is a presenter, what they are presenting, their A/V needs, their co-presenters, if the submission was approved, as well as any post-event notes/reviews. On average, most presenters are giving multiple seminars at each event. Additionally, some presenters are representing different organizations at different seminars.

Adding the presenters as event attendees and assigning them to a smart group is a no-brainer. It's tracking that other information that has become a bit of a headache. When I designed the original participant form, the client's full needs hadn't been disclosed (ie. the need to track multiple presentations per a single contact).

thanks - unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a comparable component for joomla.
