On Waitlist not working for paid events

[petbos157]

I've an event with a fee and a max. numbers of subscribtions and the waiting list options enabled.
When my event is full, i've got the warning on the event subscription that the event is full but they will be put on the waitinglist.
But when the visitor fills-up and submits the event form,  the visitor came to thesame event form and he isn't put on the waitinglist.

What can be wrong with this.
With an event that is configured without a fee, the waitinglist-workflow is working well.
Is there something changed between the versions ?
Any help or tips are welcome.

I'm using CiviCRM 4.4.3 on Drupal 7

Best regards,

There is another thread pointing out this problem, but as of now, no solution has been posted:

It seems that the problem has something to do with the registration form including the payment fields, even when waitlisted.  You can test this by commenting out a line of code for error checking in
CRM / Event / Form / Registration / Register.php:

static function formRule($fields, $files, $self) {
....
  if ($self->_values['event']['is_monetary']) {
    if (empty($self->_requireApproval) && $fields['amount'] > 0 && !isset($fields['payment_processor'])) {
      $errors['payment_processor'] = ts('Please select a Payment Method'); //comment this line out
    }
  ....
  }
....
}

Can anyone figure out why payment processor and fee fields are being included when registering for the waitlist?

I've opened an issue on github with my attempted solution:

@amschaal - thanks for this fix! Just solved a big problem for me after upgrading to 4.4.4.

I'm glad it could help someone!  Hopefully it (or a similar fix) will get into the next release so there won't be a need to patch again after the next upgrade.

@amschaal - even a big thanks from me. I hope this bugfix will be in the next release.

The github link for the patch above gives a 404 - could you post it here or somewhere else, perhaps?
