Event Registration without Email address?
September 12, 2008, 06:18:49 am
Hi,

I've set up an event registration form and it has a required email address field.

Is it possible to have event registrations without email address being mandatory, some users don't have email addresses (believe it)

thanks

Nope, currently this is not possible. You will have to modify code to make it non-mandatory, but i would strongly recommend against it.

Thanks, I'll take your advice and leave it as it is.

Is it possible to add a contact first (without email address) and then add them to an event through admin?

or can batch imports be done without email address?

some of the registrants can send in printed registration or info collected by phone and be added manually (not ideal but..)

Yes. Once you add a Contact, in Contact  Summary >> Events tab >> Add New Registration

I am a newbie, and I have a similar question. Is it possible to allow the use of the same e-mail address for multiple registration?

Thanks, in advance for your response.

No. Contacts require unique email addresses for online registration

Thank you for your quick response.

This is what we are trying to accomplish, we have a paid event that attendee can invite up to 10 people and pay for those invited, and we want to collect the names and address of all the invitees but not all of them have e-mail.

Is there a work around to accomplish what we are trying to do?

Once again, appreciate any suggestion.

There is no good solution for this in 2.1

You can add explanatory text to the page and ask folks to create an email with the convention firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are javascript savvy, you can script this and populate that field automatically when first/last name is entered. You can customize this template: templates/CRM/Event/Form/Registration/AdditionalParticipant.tpl

You might also want to upgrade to the current version of 2.1 (2.1.0) and get all the bug fixes :)

It appears to me that if you do try to use an e-mail address that's been used before, there's no warning - the record just won't be saved.  Is that correct?

And not that you'd want to do this, but what happens if the same name gets entered twice?

Thanks.

Expected behavior is that a check is done for a matching existing contact record. This check uses the configured Strict Duplicate Matching rule for Individuals on your CiviCRM install. If a match is found, the event registration record is linked to the existing (matched) contact record.
