Customizing registration options by registration type

[RickMath]

Hi Everyone

Is there a way to change the registration options for individual registration types?

I have several types for conference attendees and we are offing a special seminar that will also be open to non members. I would like to not show the options for the non member registration for the seminar.

Thanks and I will look forward to a response.

Hi Rick,

We've already got a Bugzilla entry filed for this feature addition -- see http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6156 -- but would love some help defining specifications. Would it be enough to hide certain registration options by registration type, or do you have something more comprehensive in mind?

Thanks for the quick response. At this point if I could just hide them, it would be fine. Is this an easy fix?

I know you can set different rates for the options by registration type or at least I think so.

Any idea on when the bug will be published?

Thanks

Rick

Hi Rick,

It should be easy enough to modify the template not to display a registration option if the price is 0 -- this would be done in the templates/registration/userRegistrationForm.tpl template. That would be a good temporary fix, but as I can imagine that a price of 0 might be useful for cost-free options, it would only be a temporary fix. The best long-term fix would be to introduce a checkbox for showing/hiding the option, and that would take a little more coding.

This isn't a huge priority for us, as we haven't got a release of OCS officially planned yet, so I wouldn't expect it within a couple of months.

Apologies if this thread was picked up elsewhere, but are we any closer to being able to customize registration options by registration type. As this tread notes, it would be very useful to be able to toggle an option on and off with different registration types. I have registration types where certain options are absolutely nonsensical and can even lead to misunderstandings and unfortunate outcomes. For example, an optional conference banquet ticket makes no sense for a day registrant for whom the dinner is not an option. Leaving the fee at '0' in such a case is even worse since it implies that he or she will get that dinner for free by checking it off. I simply want the option to not appear for that registration type. Is editing templates/registration/userRegistrationForm.tpl still the only option? Or, have I (quite possibly) missed something.

P.S. For some, editing the userRegistrationForm.tpl is a daunting taks

Hi Stuart,

As the status of the bug report linked to above suggests, this has not yet been committed to OCS. Please feel free to CC yourself to that bug report, and you will be notified of any updates.

Cheers,
