Why are we requiring that a Fee be created before we allow Auto-register? If it's free and the chapter doesn't need a head count, it doesn't need a fee. Just auto-register all Member, Affiliates and/or Guests. Boom - Done

No Fee => no registration and no auto-registration. So need at least one Fee (free and/or paid) to auto-register.

Understand that it is. Obvious why we need fee (or registration button) in order to allow individual registrations. But why do we need it for auto-registration? Seems like it's just one more hurdle or opportunity for frustration or confusion.

You want auto-registration when there is no event registration?

That's usually the way it works. One or the other, not a combination thereof.

If a chapter wants to charge a fee, they need a Fee.

If a chapter needs a head count (so they can order food, for instance), they need a Register button

If a chapter wants neither of the above, they just want to have members sign in and out, they Auto-register. Asking them to set a fee of zero and then come back to Auto-register confuses Admin and/or is a waste of time.

We may want both (Fee and Auto-register), but not make one dependent on the other.

[Daniel Abrams]

Who is listed to select from for auto-regisstration in this case. Just Members, or all (Members, Affiliates, and Guests)?

[Hollis Brown]

Allow Admin to choose individuals or all from any or all of those lists.
- Current Members
- All Members
- Affiliates
- Guests
- Speakers

Obviously Current Members would be most common. Why restrict the others, though?

[Daniel Abrams]

Okay, this is going to take some hours.

[Hollis Brown]

This will make it much more functional.

[Daniel Abrams]

Yes. This may take until Friday to complete. I thinking this as User Types:

Current Members
Lapsed Members
Affililiates
Guests

Yes?

Already covered.

Already covered. Simply create a 0.00 (free) Fee. Yes?

If a chapter wants neither of the above, they just want to have members sign in and out, they Auto-register. Asking them to set a fee of zero and then come back to Auto-register confuses Admin and/or is a waste of time.

This is only the one that is different. Yes?

[Hollis Brown]

Yes

I don't know how important it is or how difficult it would be to change, but the term "Fee" is misleading. A fee of zero in not really a fee--right.

I prefer the term "Register Button." Some Register Buttons have a Fee attached.

It would be quite difficult and involved. The 0.00 fee is explained.

Plus, after some thought, what we wanted to do with the other is realll even more complicated than I thought. How is this:

https://development.chapteroffice.com/admin-event-handler/?eid=198&action=update

1. Lots of explanation.

2. I added button to add Fee so less jumping around. When clicked, opens Admin :: Fees Handler :: Manage Event Fees popup.

3. I added option when managing Fees: Self-Register. If enabled (by default), Register button displays in Calendar. Otherwise, no. In both cases, users can be auto-invited. When saved, the
Admin :: Fees Handler :: Manage Event Fees popup goes away, and the Admin :: Event Handler :: Update Event popup refreshes. Not ready to test as I have to quickly set this up tomorrow morning.

Yes?

[Hollis Brown]

I like it!

Note typo:

3. When you click on the [Update Event] button, the selected users will be registered for this Event using the selected Event Fee. Users will be sendt a confirmation email. In the case of where payment is required, a payment link will be included in the email.

[Daniel Abrams]

Fixed.

I was hoping as it saved us a whole lot of time and misery. I'll finish it tomorrow morning.
