Force login, create account when registering for an event

Hi

Is there any way to force a user to login before they are able to register for an event or better yet have it setup so that when they register for an event the system creates a user profile for them.

The reason I ask is we sell workshops and the person needs to be registered on the website to access there study material.

Hello Justin

If I understand your requirement correctly, you can go to Events Booking -> Configuration, set User registration integration config option to Yes

After that, when users register for your event:

1. If they have existing account, they can login before continuing

2. If they don't have existing account, they can register for an account during the registration process

Could you please give it a try?

Hi

User registration integration is set to Yes.

It seems like the problem is that we have very specific username requirements namely, the username may not contain any Uppercase letters.
It seems like if a person follows this the system creates an account and registers them for the event if they don't the system still registers them for the event but does not create an account.

Do you have any ideas on how I can solve this?

As of right now, Joomla doesn't have specific requirement for username, so not sure where you define this?

If you have special requirement for username, you will have to customize Events Booking code to validate username to make sure it meets that requirement

Open the file components/com_eventbooking/helper/registration.php, look at method validateUsername and customize it to meet your need

Hi

Our e-learning software does not allow Uppercase in the username, I also use easyprofile between the two they define this rule.

Thank you I have managed to make the changes to the code just one question, will I need to re-do this customisation every time I update Event Booking.

Hi Justin

If you have code works already, submit support ticket, we will implement it for you using override so that the change won't be lost when you update to future releases of the extension
