If an event is full and someone visits civicrm/event/register?id=x then they are redirected to /civicrm/event/info and given the "full" message.

If an event registration is closed but the event is still active with a event start date in the future, I suggest behavior of civicrm/event/register?id=x can be improved:

1. while logged in as an administrator, civicrm/event/register?id=x will forward to the "manage events" page with a message that registration is closed. 

2. while anonymous I am forwarded to the drupal homepage, even though i have anonymous permissions to see event info.

Shouldn't attempts to access /civicrm/event/register be redirected to /civicrm/event/info and not the homepage for closed registration events?

I cannot reproduce #2 on the demo site, as event info is not an anonymous permission for demo site users.  I have however, confirmed this behavior on two separate 4.2.6 sites, both with very basic configurations.

I am using 4.2.6 on D7.

This has been fixed for 4.3

Just in case anyone else needs to fix this.  Code to fix is in /civicrm/CRM/event/form/registration.php

There's a function beginning on line1381 called "function checkValidEvent".  Replace that function definition with the one from the current code, and then find the place where it's called (line) 263, and replace the call, since the new function takes a parameter.

This seems to be working for me.  Yashodha, if there is anything else to do, please let us know.
