Okay, dumb question. I set up an event with a maximum number of participants (80) and enabled the pay later option. The event is 'full,' cheques for pay later registrants are still coming in (as expected, we actually want about 100 people). The system complains when I try to change the status of people from pending to registered when adding their payment info. We don't want to increase the size of the event since that will allow people to register using credit cards while we change those who have paid by cheque from pending to registered.

Advice on how to handle this? Should I hack the code to allow this exception based on how the additional "registration" is being made?

Separately, we have a waiting list from which we are releasing people to a 'copy' of the event. While this event is not full, we don't want to have to re-enter info including a number of custom fields.

In 2.1 you will be able to define which "statuses" should be counted against your Max Participant count (so you'll be able to count the pendings - e.g. hold spaces for them). For now, I think you'll have to hack the code to deal with this.

We don't have a great way to handle waiting lists yet. I guess export from "copy event" into "real event" might be the only half-decent solution within the UI for now. OR you could modify the participant records directly via SQL - pretty sure this query would do the trick:

UPDATE civicrm_participant SET event_id = $realEventId WHERE contact_id = $waitListContactID AND event_id = $copyEventID;
