Overview

How do you handle your ministry partner needing to add someone to a full registration instance? We will typically reopen the event with additional quantity and use an obscure URL slug to prevent someone else from taking the open spot. But what if the registration instance is already open and you need to add someone to a full fee option (item)? This recipe will show you how you can build a registration change tool that your ministry leaders can use to add people to full fee options.

The Registration Change Tool includes two components:

1. New page with two blocks - a page parameter filter block and an HTML block.
2. New workflow to confirm and update the registration.

Prerequisite: The workflow uses a Blue Box Moon Workflow Stimpack plugin action to create a new record. If you are confident with SQL, you can probably replace this with a SQL INSERT, but I highly advise using the plugin as it ensures the INSERT is done safely and consistently. You can also use the same workflow action to update database rows.

Registration Change Tool Page

First off, here is a peek at what this looks like and how the page works:

The user (ministry leader or admin) just needs to follow the steps in succession to identify the registration registrant they wish to update and the fee option they wish to add.

Create a new page with a Page Parameter Filter block and an HTML block. The Page Parameter Filter block should be configured like this:

Here are the configurations for each of the five filters (I've attached a file with the SQL/Lava for the Values field to this recipe):

Next add an HTML block to the page and populate it with the Lava file attached to this recipe.

Now you are ready to import the workflow type attached to this recipe.

One last step - once the workflow type is imported, determine the workflow type id and copy that in at the end of the HTML block.
