I have an issue with the group member registration forms.
One of our costumers have addressed an issue with reloading a new page for each group member information. They are able to have pretty large groups in one event, say 15 to 20 members. With this many members it's very difficult to remember who you have registered and not when clicking through 20 different pages. We wish to have all the group member forms on the same page with scrolling instead of moving forward with a next button when registering a group.
Would this be possible or do you suggest to do it in some other way with custom fields? This is supposed to be presented in emails aswell.
There is not a way without making a number of modifications to put all of the members on one page. We'd have to develop this as an option. Don't think anyone has actually asked for that before.
Assuming you are only collecting minimal info for each member, it may be easier to use "Simple Group Registration" where you enter the number of members then go straight to the billing page. Then create fields to gather data for the members. Hope that helps a bit.
I see. Would anyone be interested in trying to make this modification? Or am I in over my head here with such a mod? I'd like to see this in an upgrade from the developers but I guess that can take some time.
You may have better luck with a different modification. Instead of trying to have all the group member forms on one page (which could get quite long if you have lot of fields), maybe you could just have a list of the names you have already registered in that group. For example, the first person you register is Mike. When you go to the second person's registration, you have a list on the right hand side that says
"Already Registered in this Group:
1) Mike"
That seems like it could be a fairly easy hack as you would only have to loop through the variable that is holding the previous registrations for each new group member page and grab the name field.
