Cannot get users to sign-up as Attendees for FREE event

Posted by tfmy2k on February 5, 2011 at 4:08pm

I cannot get users to sign-up as Attendees for FREE event. Somehow, i do NOT see an "Attend/Sign-Up" button in COD.
Does COD have the functionality built-in currently that would prohibit attendees to book two sessions in "TWO" different rooms at the SAME time?

Thanks for your help.

Same problem

Posted by francoishanat on February 16, 2011 at 3:13pm

Hi,
I got the same problem for free events, COD tells me "Checkout cannot be completed without any payment methods enabled. Please contact an administrator to resolve the issue.".

But no such need for free events...

What a shame, this distribution of Drupal was so appealing !
If you've got any answers, please share them, I'd really appreciate !

Thanks

You can disable Ubercart's

You can disable Ubercart's modules to force free events. The event node with signup enabled on it will then just allow people to sign up. Please see the signup module's documentation for more on that.

It's still alpha code, and is being worked on heavily.

Signup Module Documentation?

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong signup module, but I don't see anything in the documentation about disabling Ubercart's modules to force free events?

Regular module disable

Signup module is completely separate from Ubercart. Just disable all of the ubercart modules on admin/build/modules.

tangled up

Hi -- I'm testing COD for the first time and may be off-base, but I found myself tangled:

COD Events requires Signup integration for Ubercart requires Payment depends on the whole Ubercart panoply.

[1] So I commented everything with a uc_* in cod_events.info -- but now as I disable Ubercart, and try to sign up on an event, I'm still being led to the /cart page, now "Not Found," or "Not Found" at uc_signup/attendees/emails

[2] Backed up, re-enabled everything, and trying uc_free_order next: seems to work -- it still wants "Billing Information" similar to a credit card, but it's letting me play and test.

Looks like great work, excited to test it out!

Disable the feature

If you're ok with those steps then ok, but I'd recommend you instead just disable the COD Events feature at admin > build > features. You'll have to create an event content type and enable signup on it yourself, but that keeps you from having changed any code. We're planning on making free events much easier to work with. http://drupal.org/node/849066

No, but you might be able to get that using the Rules module.

Free events

I have a mix of free and paid events.

I have a payment method turned on, but couldn't turn it off per event for free events, and paypal will not accept zero payments.

I've found http://drupal.org/project/uc_free_order can be used, which bypassed the payment system.

Just thought that might be of use to peole wanting to set up booking for free events.
