Is there away that i can send a confirmation email to a person that has registered for an event. It will also let them approve their event without having the admin login and change their status just for the approval email to be sent. Basicallly once you click the link your status is updated no action needed from admin

No. The approval process requires admin intervention. You should be able to do this via a custom link you insert in the mail and handle that link in custom php code

if you do this, please share your changes so others can benefit

Uggh. The problem is I am not very familiar with CIVICRM under the hood. I under the .tpl files and .php code to a certain degree.

The way this is setup. A staffer or volunteer is signing people up. They go online and enter people information for them. Then they get an email to confirm these people. BUt the Admin of the Event system does not want to have to log in everytime and change their status.

And the status change is the only way to kick off an email.

Is there away to create a scheduled task that can do this and change the status of these new people which will kick off an email automatically with the link that is needed to approve. Without writing a hook etc..

1. Please avoid posting the same question under multiple topics

2. If you just want to register a person, why are you keeping them in pending status. You can put them as registered and an email should be triggered

Sorry about that. Because they want an email to go to the person first. And then they click a link that says oh this is a valid request which I did.

Once they click that link the status changes and is updated in the system. I know it is stupid trust me, but its what they want.

U'll need to implement this via some custom code. There is no scheduled task for this.
