Author Topic: Testing event registration feature... (Read 4863 times)

Kindred · « **on:** December 28, 2011, 10:52:33 AM »

This is a new feature that we're testing... in theory, the event is scheduled for January 28, 2012.
It should allow any user to sign-up for the event.
20 days before the event, a "confirm" button should become visible, if you have previously signed up.
the first 10 users who sign up and confirm should be listed as "attending" while the rest should be listed as "waitlist"
5 days before the event, registration closes.

No guests are allowed to sign up
users should be able to leave comments on the signup.

let's see if this works....

I am going to beat up Kindreds toy soldiers YAY!

Tested sign up.

I mean this is a test right and not for a real event?

Do we just respond to this in order to sign up then?

What have I signed myself up for...

WisdomLS · « **Reply #5 on:** December 29, 2011, 04:24:14 AM »

Just like always I've agreed to some terms and conditions without having a clue what they are.

Let's hope the event comes with a plane ticket and we don't need any dirty square based miniatures

and yes... this is just a test. There is no actual event going on on Jan 28.

I am testing the new feature so that we can decide it we want to use it for actual events.

As for actual events, TempleCon is running Feb 3,4,5 in Rhode Island.... 40k gaming going on there.

makes it a near perfect i-whatever type experience. A week after my last iTunes upgrade a shadowy figure knocked at my front door asking for my firstborn. I'm sure there was no connection....

I am not seeing the attending button....

Am I missing something here? (Obviously)

Kindred · « **Reply #9 on:** December 29, 2011, 10:05:20 AM »

Hmmm.... there should be a section at the top of the thread (above the first post) which has a field for your username, a comment and a "sign up" button

faitherun (Fay-ith-er-run) · « **Reply #10 on:** December 29, 2011, 10:26:16 AM »

I am not sure how to upload pics, or I would post a screen shot...

I am told above the first post that there is a liked event, but then I can't click on it...

Edit:
I just opened it in IE (I typically run Chrome) and it made no difference.

Sgt. Backhand · « **Reply #11 on:** December 29, 2011, 10:45:51 AM »

I signed up, but my comment did not appear. Is that intentional?

Kindred · « **Reply #12 on:** December 29, 2011, 10:58:17 AM »

I'm not sure... I am checking with the author, because I haven't see my own comment appear either.

F... which theme are you using?

faitherun (Fay-ith-er-run) · « **Reply #13 on:** December 29, 2011, 12:11:51 PM »

I'm using the Grey smf

Kindred · « **Reply #14 on:** December 29, 2011, 01:19:30 PM »

ah... that's the problem... looks like some edits didn't make it into that theme's templates.

should be fixed now

faitherun (Fay-ith-er-run) · « **Reply #15 on:** December 29, 2011, 11:20:57 PM »

And I'm in!

Waitlisted though

Loved the terms and conditions. I think I can agree to those

My comment still has not appeared, is this something that will only work from now on?

Kindred · « **Reply #18 on:** December 31, 2011, 02:12:12 AM »

no... I'm still trying to figure out why comments don't appear...

Kindred · « **Reply #19 on:** January 25, 2012, 01:22:38 PM »

ok... I've turned comments off, since, even if they did appear, it seems that there is a security hole in the form.

Also... did anyone on the attendee list get an email or PM announcing that your should confirm your attendance?
