Simple questions (I hope) from a newbie:
February 01, 2009, 09:11:02 pm
I am hoping to use CiviCRM and CiviEvent to manage online registrations for a Youth Convention.  Attendees are Youth Leaders from various churches and the Students.  Attendees will register for the convention and also register for various competitions like music, drama and preaching.  We would like each person that registers to create userids before they register.  I have been playing around with CiviCRM and CiviEvent and I have some questions:

1. When a Youth Leader registers, can I have them enter information about their home church?
2. When a Student registers, can they choose which church they belong to?
3. Can I prohibit them from registering until after their youth leader has registered the church?
4. After a student has registered, can they login and edit a previously made registration?
5. Should I configure the various competitions as additional events?
6. Can I prevent them from registering for a competition until after they have registered for the main conference?
7. Can I setup permissions, so youth leaders can view which members of their church have already registered?

I am hoping to be able to accomplish this without writing a lot of custom code.

Is CiviCRM (with Drupal) the right choice for what I am trying to do??

Thanks,

JCO

You will need to write a fair amount of custom code for your use case

briefly:

1. yes

2. yes, but with some custom code that updates a db table based on the output of 1

3. custom code needed

4. no

5. depends on what information you want to collect. If not a lot, you can make it part of the student registration form

6. see 5

7. custom code. there are a few examples that you can base most of your work on for this (participant listing pages)

some part of this request coincided with some other requests of making custom options more dynamic and relying on other tables (rather than only on option groups). In keeping with the drupal tradition of extensibility via hooks, i've created a new issue and will try to get this in before the next beta release
