Feature for Conference Registration
July 30, 2007, 12:37:23 am
I am using the Civicrm 1.8 and Drupal 4.7. Is there a way to have a multi-user (like for a household) event registration. Currently it looks like only individuals can sign up. Would not want say a father to have to do that registration page 7 times for each member of his family.

Also, is there some way I can make the event registration multi-page (like this profile on this page and that profile on another etc). ??

Thanks in Advance :D

The 'multiple' people signup could potentially be solved using price-sets a 1.8 feature. Check: http://civicrm.org/node/197 for more details

Event registration is already multi-page (3 step process). If you want it to be split even more, u would need to hack the code. Any specific use case and reasoning for this request?

I'll have a look at the price-sets (although the additional pages aren't for pricing things).

The multiple pages is for making the sign-up easier to use. Suppose I have 8 different profiles, I wouldn't want them all on one page, it would be too big. Want like an 8-10 step process for all the things my users have to key in (transportation information, hotel information, kids stuff, badge and photo information, etc etc). I think Drupal has these types of features to create a lengthy sign-up process, but it doesn't seem like CiviCRM is using much of the core drupal features. But I'm no expert here, just my first time observation.

You might want to consider building a custom form for your 8-10 step process. You can only include 2 profiles (at top/bottom) in the CiviCRM event registration flow.

If you feel drupal is better suited to dealing with multi-page forms, you might want to consider building the form in drupal and using the civicrm api to store the relevant data.
