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.
