I really liked your registration tutorials.  Thanks a bunch.

What I'm trying to do is setup a registation page for a class where users can register to attend a specific class at a specific date.  You showed us how to insert the new fields and modify the existing fields for a registartion page, but I'm not sure how I would display a "Register for Class" page where the custom registration I develop would be displayed like any other module on that page.  Is this possible using the techniques you taught us in the tutorial?

Thanks again for the great training.

Mark.

Hi Mark,

Glad you found the tutorials useful. - Yes it could be possible, it depends on how much flexibility you need and how many classes there are.

For instance you could setup a registration page that has a drop down list of classes and requests the user to select from the drop down list a class they are interested in.

The other option would be to set up the classes as security roles, a user would register and then subscribe to a security role for a class or classes that they wish to attend. This has the advantage that you could then send emails to users in certain security roles or create pages setup for users in security roles. - Disadvantage of this method is that you will need to provide instructions to the user for how they sign up to a security role as it is not obvious.

Otherwise you may have to create a separate module especially to collect this information. For instance you could ask the user to first of all register on the site with just a username and password to access the class signup page. - Once they have registered they can view the class signup page where you have created a module to capture the information you require.

Hope this provides some clues, thanks,

Thanks very much Lee. I think I will give your second suggestion a try. I like this becuase the database is already setup to include all of the personal contact information I need.
But to do this, I need a way for the users to get to the registration page. right now it's in an aspx file, in a tag. How can I set it up so it's invoked by a module or a link on a single page?

Lee, I'm obviously new at this, but I really appreciate your suggestions and tutorials. You've saved me oodles of time and I'm very thankful I found DnnCreative.

Hi Mark,

To link to the registration page simply copy the registration URL that you see when you are not logged in.

Is this what you mean?

If you are looking for info on setting up the security roles, this is covered in issue 1. I am also currently editing the new features in 4.3 for security roles for the next issue, but the info in issue 1 is all you will need to set it up.

Thanks,

PS. If you look at the format for the registration URL:

http://localhost/dnn434/coremodules/tabid/72/ctl/Register/Default.aspx

You will see that the registration URL is called up by the /ctl/Register

If you add this to any tab ID it will re-direct to that Tab ID after you register.

To quickly do this, simply navigate to the page you wish to redirect to after registration and copy the register link from that page.

Thanks,

This is great. Later I will need to figure out how to handle a user that enrolls in multiple classes, but for now, this will get me going.

Thank you very much for all the extra effort!!!!!!!!

Mark.

Hi Mark,

For multiple classes if you are setting up the security role subscribe feature it will just list all of the classes, so all a user will have to do is click on the subscribe link for each class.

Cheers,
