Morten just reminded me, that when you have build the from.
You create a post or page, push the eventreg icon and select the form you just build.
So the description is written in the post.

But again if you need to pull only the description, we would need a field for that.

You mean a description of the event and such?
Its possible to insert plain text via the forms table.
You could just put one at the top and have the input fields underneath.

If you want it to be possible to pull the description seperately, then we would need a field in the event table.

Lets see if it is necessary.

I hope I made sence ??

My fellow plugin author, Morten, has been creative. He drew a sketch of the DB structure. Take a look, give some feedback.

Image of DB structure (For now anyway).

Nice to hear ??

The deadline was on friday, but we have used a longer time on getting jQuery to work with jQuery UI in WordPress (Without removing any bundled jQuery (what other plugins may relay on)).

That seems to be working now and the drag’n’drop works nicely.
The manage section should be working, not tested because the DB layout is being designed right now.

So over all its looking good, its just the soon to come holiday that are time consuming right now ??

We had hope to enter the plugin contest, but it is unreachable right now.

As soon as a beta is ready you guys will know.

This is what we are using right now: `add_action(‘admin_print_scripts’, ‘eventreg_jquery’);
add_action(‘admin_head’, ‘eventreg_jquery_drag’);
add_action(‘admin_head’, ‘eventreg_jquery_alert’);

function eventreg_jquery() {
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’, EVENTREG_WP.’/wp-content/plugins/event-registration/3rdparty/jQuery/jquery.js’, FALSE, ‘1.2.6’);
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery-ui-core’, EVENTREG_WP.’/wp-content/plugins/event-registration/3rdparty/jQuery/ui/ui.core.js’, array(‘jquery’), ‘1.5’);
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery-ui-drag’, EVENTREG_WP.’/wp-content/plugins/event-registration/3rdparty/jQuery/ui/ui.draggable.js’, array(‘jquery-ui-core’), ‘1.5’);
}

function eventreg_jquery_drag() {
?>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery(“.drag-me”).draggable();
});
</script>
<?php
}

function eventreg_jquery_alert() {
?>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
alert(‘Testing common jQuery’);
});
</script>
<?php
}`

The alert works fine, just not the draggable.
We are clueless, this really sucks ??

If I rename the bundled jquery.js file in WordPress it works perfectly.

I also noticed that in docs it says that jquery is with lowercase Q
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’, EVENTREG_WP.’/wp-content/plugins/event-registration/3rdparty/jQuery/jquery-1.2.6.js’, false, ‘1.2.6’);

But when I use jquery my jquery.js doesn’t get included the bundled does.
If I use jQuery, it overwrites the bundled and my jquery.js is included and the bundled isn’t. or so it seems.

As I wrote, renaming the bundled jquery.js file resolves the issue.
So my conclusion is that the bundled jquery.js must be included some were I can’t see…

Why is this so hard to get to work ??

PS. Thanks Roger, as far as I can see, all the UI .js file we are using is fixed with (jQuery) at the end.

There will be some kind of IP logging.
This makes the fight againt spam easier and the admin will have a way to spot “fraud”.

Matthewp, as soon I feel anything is close to beta I will let you know, and we would like you guys to test the plugin. That would excelent.

Well… you could use a combination of existing plugins etc.
But my users is very dumb. So I have to keep it simple.
I my self use cForms and I love it, but for this purpose, it just too advanced.

I’ve got an “Go ahead”, so make this plugin is a certainty.
For now I have a very rough idea of how this is going to work.

I would really love to hear any input, features ideas etc.

1. Keep It Simple Stupid
2. Use of jQuery, to make the build of the form easy and fun.
3. TinyMCE integration, for easy publish of a single registration form.
4. Validation
5. Export of attending people (.csv)
6. E-mail – Telling people what they signed up for and a link for “de-registering”
7. Theme-able + option to use css from WP theme.
8. Gettext localization (.po/.mo)
9. Option for advanced users to insert html, when building the formular.
10. Set “active period”, set max people attending.

Missing anything?

We are two that will be working on this and the deadline is in 2 weeks.

Of course with an front end of some sort, showing participants etc.

I am currently in the alpha state of making such a plugin.

The company who needs this, want an easy admin where it is possible to set up an form, using UI. I will be using some jQuery drag’n’drop. Validation is a must.
It will be possible to export to a .csv for easy use with Excel etc.

If you have any ideas, suggestions etc. I am open.
As long I make it usable for the company who is paying for it, I wont mind adding features.

Ps. the company know this will be open-source.
Pps. It will work in 2.5+

Another thing to think about.
If you use the auto update function, it deletes the translations.

I see 2 solutions:
1. You include them in your plugin package.
2. You change the path, so the *.mo fil is located in the plugins folder and not the nextgen-gallery folder, where it will be deleted.

1st solution has the fault, that it always will be “old” translation, when you publish a new release. But its better than no translation.

This is a “problem” all plugin writers should look into.

And thanks for the link update ??

Lovely, I know many danish bloggers who would appreciate this a lot.
