Hello,

We have a yoga studio with people buying class cards in person and online. We want to keep their class card information (how many classes they have left) online for us and them to see. We have the attendance sheets, and would like to be able to select the users from the list and do a mass class-card-minus-one for all who attended. Is that possible to do?

Many thanks,
Andrey.

P.S. I'm new to CiviCRM, but have a good understanding of Drupal. So far it looks pretty amazing!

I think you'd have to create some custom code which does a new "action" from the search interface in order to handle the "mass updating" as you've described. There is a "Batch Update via Profile" function which gives you an editable grid of any core or custom contact, participant, contribution or membership fields - but this feature allows you to set all values in a column to the same value w/ one click OR update each row. It doesn't have a "subtract one" function.

Might be easier to discuss this after you've played with things a bit and thought about how you want to store the class card-class remaining data. Alos, can people buy different levels of class cards? (e.g. 5 class card, 10 class card, etc.). If so, one approach would be to set this up as a price set field with select options and use a single Online Event for them to "buy" these online.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply.

I think "Batch Update via Profile" with the grid where the admin can manually alter the dates will work fine for me as a start. I think as I learn more about CiviCRM, I will write something like a "subtract one" function to automate this process.

I'm not entirely clear what you mean by the last paragraph. People can buy different levels of class cards (5 for $60, 10 for $110, 20 for $200 as well as a drop in for $15). I looked at the event registration with multiple price options, which looks good. I think that would be ideal. Is there a way to automatically trigger a profile field having a value increased by 5,10 or 20 when someone buys (registers) the class card (event)?

Thanks for your time and ideas,
Andrey.

not sure what you mean by "automatically trigger a profile field having a value increased by 5,10 or 20 when someone buys (registers) the class card (event)?". however, in v2.1, you can implement the "postProcess" hook and basically do additional db operations based on the db state / $_POST / other parameters. If by "automatically trigger", you mean update a "custom" field when someone registers for a class, then you should be able to use this hook

Note that 2.1 is not yet released, an alpha is scheduled to go out tomorrow

Hello Donald,

Thanks. That's exactly what I meant. The post-process operation that can increase an integer value of a custom profile field by X when someone registers for a class.

Do you have any idea of how long it might take for 2.1 to be production-stable?

Many thanks,
Andrey.
