Using Forms for registration to tournaments

Using Concrete / Help
1

Hi there…

I am using a Form for the first time to let visitors register to a tournament. I have added some fields for the to fill, and it works perfect. In this case I redirect the user to the “tournament page” where a list is shown. I have two problems now.

  1. Originally I wanted a limit of registrations corresponding with the maximum number players I can host physically. I have kind of solved that by setting the number of “items per page” to this limit and explaining that those on Next page are too late :slight_smile: - But it would ofc be better if it was possible to somehow set a limit and warn the user typing, or alike. Ideas are welcome!
  2. This is kind of related to 1. because I miss a way to have items been given a serial number. It is hard to make it “visible” for the users how many already registered. I think it would be useful in a lot of cases, and I can’t find any option to give, include or use such a number. Am I lost, or is there a way to handle it?

what you are describing is a registration system, but using forms and express display blocks is not going to be enough to give a satisfactory solution. If you wanted to hack existing systems, I’d recommend something like Community Store. You could set up a product which represents tickets or registrations and sell them for free until the inventory is depleted.

Otherwise you’ll probably need to invent a custom solution.

Sorry for may late reply! Thanks for your suggestion, but I think I (we) can live with the basics for this very simple solution already offered by default. Now registrants can immediately see themselves listed, and we can export the list and import it in the tournament setup system.
