I am running CiviCRM 1.8 with Drupal 5 on php4 and am trying to figure out how to implement an "invite code" function.

We are having an event that we would like to have somewhat restricted registration for. We don't really want to use the Drupal roles to totally lock down access to the civievent registration pages, but I haven't been able to find anything built-in. It doesn't have to be fancy, The same code for everybody would be fine.

The perfect option would be able to enter an "Invite code" on the registration page along with name, address and CC info. If the code is valid the transaction can go thru, if not it's blocked

My next choice is to make a door page where I ask for the code and only pass the person along to the registration page if they get the invite code correct. Of course once the person gets to the registration page there is nothing to keep them from passing along the URL of the registration page, but I can live with that.

Has anyone else had to implemented anything like this? I looked pretty thoroughly  but didn't see anyway to implement my perfect choice. Did I miss anything? Or did this maybe get implemented in a later release? If it's not build-in I'll try my backup choice.

Any info/feedback appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll check it out. :-)
