Registering for events...
February 05, 2015, 03:16:07 pm
I am creating my first event registration page. I am using Wordpress, and not allowing user registrations on Wordpress, to avoid that whole can of worms. All the contacts and memberships are maintained without the use of Wordpress accounts.

1. what happens when someone registers for an event and pays (via PayPal in our case)? If their email doesn't match a contact are they automatically added as a CivicCRM contact?

2. I don't see a place for attendees street address and phone jumping out at me when setting up the registration form. How is this usually handled?

3. and for the event fees on the form, there is a blank box followed by static text with the fee amount. How are the users supposed to know that they are to enter a quantity (1, 2, 3 etc.) in the box? Usually it's going to be one. Wouldn't it be better to have a spin edit box here for the quantity?

I suggest you read the chapter on creating events in our User and admin guide: http://book.civicrm.org/user/current/events/creating-an-event/.  The  answers to your questions can be found there.

In particular:
