Defining Event Web Options
Staff users can search for all events, including events that are not web-enabled. You can only register for an event that has an Active status.
For more information about using these settings, see Configuring content item-based event registration.
To make an event available on the web
Online event registrations are only available for events with an Active status. The following configuration options affect RiSE-based sites and the Staff site:
- In the Event Details window, click More > Web Options.
- Enable the Show this event on the Web? checkbox.
- (optional) Add an image to display on the web: enter a link in the Event Image Hyperlink field:
- Full path: Refer to an existing URL, such as http://example.com/myImage.jpg
- Relative path: Upload or select an image in Content Management > Manage images, and refer to it like this: /images/uploadedimages/myImage.jpg
Note: Image Manager lets you create subfolders, so you can group and organize images.
- Specify these options:
- Select which Registration Option should be in effect:
- Event is on the Web for display only (useful for times before and after open registration)
- Allow online registration via the Web
- Allow e-mail registration via the Web - This field is no longer supported.
- (optional) Enter the Event Contact
- (optional) Enter the Event Hyperlink - This field is no longer supported.
- Select which Registration Option should be in effect:
- Specify these options:
- (optional) Enable Allow registering others, so that users can register others. When Registering Someone Else, staff and authorized members are able to search for an existing contact to register or add a new contact all from a single screen.
- (optional) If you have functions for which this is appropriate, enable Allow adding guests. When enabled, the registrant can add a new contact and register that person as a guest for an event via the Add a Guest link. When you register someone as a guest, their registration is dependent upon the registration of the host. The host can be the person you are working on behalf of, an individual registered using Register Someone Else, or yourself.
- Select which Registration Class Determination should be in effect:
- (default) Member type, for pricing by registrant class
- Member/Non-Member, for pricing simply by membership status
- Stored procedure, for overriding the registrant class to implement pricing promotions, such as 50% off additional registrants from a given company. Your stored procedure can use the current registrant ID (which is supplied as a parameter to the procedure), calculate which class to assign, and return a valid registrant class; if it does not return one, default pricing remains in force.
Note: If the Registrant Class Determination is enabled for Member type, then all of the pricing options can only be configured through the Desktop. Edit an event by selecting More > Web Options and enable Member / Non-Member for the Registrant Class Determination to configure pricing options through the web.
- Click Save.
