Author Topic: Mail-out Unique ID -> check ID at event registration (Read 1466 times)

Hi all

Been testing driving the system and it appears to do 90% of what we need.

The one piece of functionality I can't fathom is:

1. we mail (snail!) out a unique ID to our attendees with event registration URL
2. they arrive at URL and then have to enter the unique ID in order to register for an event
3. So basically: No unique ID, no entry!

Is this possible? We really need this as its a closed list for entrance to the conference.

Thanks in advance :-)

There is a model for hash-based authentication in CiviCRM - but it's implemented for access to Profiles ("edit your contact info" forms) - not for event registration. So you'd need to do some coding to make it work for your use case.

Alternatively, you can use Access Control (ACL's) to limit who can register for any given Event. This approach requires that your attendees have/create a Drupal user account and that you define a CiviCRM "group" of contacts that have permission for that event.

You can potentially facilitate the user-flow by implementing one of the available login / redirect Drupal modules (like login toboggan) to redirect them to the event registration form after they register for their account.
