Registration Confirmation - how can it be done?
July 29, 2007, 04:24:23 pm
I'm in need of being able to have users confirm all events they register for. That way, one can tell if the email used for the registration is in fact correct.

I envision the following process

1. One registers for an event (enters email and other event specific information)
2. Confirms information on the screen (as is the case now).
3. Instead of being automatically registered (as is the case now), i would like that an email gets sent to the user . One that contains a unique URL
4. User clicks on (or enters the unique URL) into their browser. This takes them to the site, and they  are then shown their registration information and asked to confirm it.
5. Once confirmed, the individual is - then - registered for the event.

Can this be done easily? Let me know.

I am in - urgent - need for this functionality. If you can help, please email me privately (rguerra@gmail.com)

regards

Robert

Robert:

1. This is much easier for free events (which is your case) compared to paid events (in which case we might have to store credit card info etc, something which we definitely DO NOT WANT to do).

2. It would be a different customized workflow than what we have currently (you can obviously reuse all the code from step 1 and step 2 and potentially a fair amount of code for step 5)

3. If I had to make a random guess with QA etc, its a 30-50 hour project. A fair amount of time would need to be spent on how to graft it into the existent model in a seamless manner

I have some budget to spend to help get the functionality developed, but not for the amount of time you mention.

Still, interesting in pursuing this -- to see how much time it would take, and what type of budget could be agreed to (if at all).

Sorry, no. In general we like to take on large consulting gigs. Its more efficient for us that way. Also we are quite deep with 2.0 development and 1.8 release at the moment

Thought it would have been nice to have the core team help me with this one, well, i am well aware you are all busy with 1.8 and 2.0

Might you recommend anyone else who might be able to develop the code ?

You might want to post this in the job boards and also the civicrm dev mailing list

There's a new  civicrm related module for drupal called - CiviCRM Subscribe http://drupal.org/project/civicrm_subscribe That seems to have the php code that would be needed. However, it subscribes people to groups and not events.

here's the description:

CiviCRM Subscribe - Allows users to subscribe (double opt-in) to a CiviCRM group without creating a Drupal user. Upon entering an email address, the user is added to the group, but the do_not_email flag is set. The subscribe form sends out an email to confirm the subscription. And only after the special link in the email is clicked, is the do_not_email  flag cleared.

I don't it would be difficult to adapt the module - to borrow the code - to incorporate the functionality into CiviCRM for event registration and/or perhaps other modules.

hope this helps get the functionality into 1.9 or 2.0

Robert:

We'd be glad to assist you if you want to go ahead and modify that code to meet your needs for "event registration" via email. You should read the code and get a better idea of whats involved and then we can help you figure out whats needed to do something similar for event registration.

Having a set of "contributed" modules that extend CiviCRM functionality is a good thing. We need to focus on and improve things in core to make such things easier and more seamless (similar to what Drupal has done)

p.s> I thought an interesting blog post would be to highlight some of the recent useful modules. So if interested, here is a list ( http://civicrm.org/node/228 ) of some recent drupal-civicrm modules
