Greetings,

Is it possible to add a list of supplies needed for an event (e.g.Needed for Leaf Raking: Rakes (3), Leaf Bags (10), Bottled Water (10)) and allow participants to sign up to bring them?

Thanks for you help.

There is no support built in for this right now.

You can potentially do this using custom fields (for each supply) and form validation (to ensure that folks do not sign up to bring the same stuff)

there will be some amount of coding involved

Thanks for getting back to me.

The site is for organizing community service opps. Each Event will have a project manager. What I would like is for that manager to be able to enter their list of needed resources when they create the event.

Is that possible using Custom Fields? Or can I set it up manually with PHP and mySQL and then tie it into the site?

You can do it as follows:

1. create custom data for the event and add the max values there

2. create custom data for the participant so a participant can enter the number of supplies

3. Your validation rules will require a fair amount of php and mysql to ensure that the participant can get those supplies (i.e. does not exceed the requested max etc)
