Registration Conflicts
July 07, 2008, 10:15:09 am
I'm interested in using this app, but I need to know if it can handle conflicts when a user tries to register for two or more events taking place at the same time. Can CiviEvent stop that from happening? Also, is there an option to put a cap on the overall number of events an user may register for?

Thanks,
Pixellent

Neither of those "features" are available in CiviEvent. There is code to prevent someone from registering for the SAME event more than once - so you might be able to use that as a model for your requirements if you're up for doing some code modifications.

@Dave,

If I understood properly, this feature is session based (ie that's not a duplicate check on name or email, but based on a session cookie).

The issue I have is that if your assistant want to register both you and Lobo, he won't be able to register both of you (on your behalf) and roll on the floor screaming that "it doesn't work" (add various insults against "open source softwares") :)

Is it possible to disable it easily (eg. setting a param or commenting out a few lines) ?

The error message is:


Code: [Select]
Oops. It looks like you are already registered for this event. If you want to change your registration, or you feel that you've gotten this message in error, please contact the site administrator.

BTW, it'd be great to be able to customise text per event, as the contact might be different

Great !

Could you give me the issue ID or svn rev ? I'll try to backport if possible
