Author Topic: Making an Event that Groups Can Sign Up (Read 1869 times)

I am trying to do something that either isn't available yet or I just haven't seen how to do it.

This is how the event needs to work.

Someone will create a team/group and call it lets say "Liberty Schools"

Then when people want to support/join the the team they just look up the team and add them selves to the team. Then that person will pay for the event and be apart of that team.

There is no restrictions on who can join what team. It is for charity so it does not need to be locked down at all.

Thanks in advance for any help or advise.

I dont think CiviCRM has inbuilt support for the workflow below

Since joining a group is kinda seperate from the event, you might want to have two different workflows. Something custom for folks to search and join a team (i.e. added to the group). Once they have joined the team, you can redirect them to the event registration page where they can register for the event.

I suspect you will need some amount of custom coding for the first part

Is it worth thinking through whether a form of 'membership' might be the way to do, since you are effectively saying that they are paying to become team members?

So are saying add the ability to add membership type on the fly by the user?

Thanks again

NO Sorry - must have misunderstood. When you said 'someone' i presumed that was an admin person.

I guess I was thinking that if the only purpose of joining a team was to attend an event, then maybe you could have basically had people joining as a member for a group and in that way also be seen as signing up for the event.

Or would this be a case for considering Organic Groups? Something we are only about to work with so can't offer any advice. But it would allow the 'self organising' to get in to groups.

It isn't very clear how the event and the group tie together. IF someone joins a group do they have the option of going to multiple events for that group. Is the group-event relationship one to one, or one to many, or many to many?

This is a charity walk. A school or company or a bunch of friends form a group. This is just for the purpose of seeing how much money any one group can raise. So it is only used for this walk and then next year will be all new groups. These groups are setup by the attendees and not the admins. Hopes this helps.

Thanks again

So the 'event' doesn't need to be an 'event' in civiCRM terms perhaps.
Maybe search forum for 'soft credit' and see if there is any option to have 'soft credit' apply to an 'organisation'

your 'group' = an Organisation (pete's pedantic peddlers PPP)

that organisation has a 'soft credit' to raise money for the charity X

people who want to raise money for Charity X do so by making a 'donation' to PPP
