I am building a Drupal 6 site, with event managing feature, in particular:
Selling events participation
Recording events attendances: once the event is concluded, administrator can review attendances indicating which users have really participated
I have searched a lot, already seen different similar posts and considered different possibilities before posting,
including signup module and ubercart uc_signup module, but none seem to fit my requirements.
For payment I am using Ubercart.
My strategy is the following:
Create a content-type "event", which holds all information about the event, including the date of the event, description, etc.
This is also an Ubercart product.
This is easily accomplished via CCK and Ubercart (either creating directly the product in Ubercart or creating the content-type with CCK and a product with the same machine name in Ubercart)
Create an "event participation" content-type which has a field holding a reference to event node, a field holding reference to user subscribing the event, a field for "payment status" (paid or not) , a field for "attendance status" (attended or not)
This can be easily done with CCK.
When an user want to attend an event, she creates a node of type "event partecipation":
the field referencing event should be automatically filled with the event
the field referencing the user should be automatically filled with the current user
the creation of the node should be possible only if no node of this type exists for this particular event and user.
if a node of this kind already exists for this event and user it should be deleted
The newly created node has the payment field set to "not paid" and the attendance field set to "not attended" (defaults for new node)
I think all this points can be accomplished with hook_form_alter(). Is it possible?
Once the "event participation has been created" the user is presented with a link to pay the participation.
This is done adding the referenced event to Ubercart cart and redirecting user to checkout page
I think this point can be accomplished with hook_form_alter() and Ubercart API. Is it possible?
When the user fulfills payment, an action is triggered to set the "payment status" field of the "event participation node" referencing the bought product and the buying user is set to "paid".
I think this can be achieved with Ubercart conditional actions. Is it possible?
At this point, we have the possibility to create a view showing all user participating to an event, looking at "event participations" with "payment field" equals "paid"
The event "participation nodes" are still there so, after event has occurred, administrators can set user attendances and present them in a view (probably the same view)
This is simply done with views.
What do you think, is it feasible?
I'd like to go in details of some of the above steps, but for now I am interested in discussing the overall strategy.
Thanks a lot for your attention and for any suggestion.
This seems like 90% exactly what your looking for:

I am trying to build a bot(custom UI in my website) where a user will enter a product name to view the details of it and I will provide a link to the product full details page. I have a situation where if the user enters a name and there are multiple results from my database, I want to show him those products as quick replies so that he can select one from them.
How do I recognize that the user has entered the product name and anything else? I can use #sys.any, but all small conversation will also go there, which will be of no use.
The same problem occurs when I display him a list of products with matching name. But now when the user clicks on any of the button I am taking him to a custom follow-up intent where I have entered the template for a product entity. But, dialogflow only recognizes the products that have been defined in the entity(listed few products and checked auto expand).
I have tried using #sys.any instead, but the intent is called for any string the user types in. Lets say, the user does not respond and after a while he types in "hi", my intent with any is being called. How do I overcome this situation?
So far as I understand, I can see two ways to solve this query. First, using an entity & defining your product list over there for bot to understand user responses (which you have done) but this will become an overhead when you have a list of say 1000/more products. Second way, you can continue using #sys.any & define a parameter, write a webhook where you validate user entered response to product list in database & check if it is present over there, if yes, show product details or say, entered response is incorrect.
I want to trigger a NetSuite workflow when the user sets the value of a field, but I don't want to have them submit first. The Workflow state builder looks like it has useful options but I can't get it to work.
There's some useful looking blog posts around but a lot of them seem out of date.
Update - more info
My primary issue is this one: Restrict what customers an employee can see (NetSuite)
The hack I'm currently looking at is populating a custom Transaction Column Field that I've added to a custom Time Recording form. The idea is to load this field on the UI with only valid projects (not customers as well), and this I have been able to do.
The problem is I still (as far as I can tell) still need to populate the "Customer" field, which is mandatory; I'm also assuming that if I don't do that then any time that is recorded won't go against the project. I had thought that if the user selects the project they want then I can populate the customer field with that value. I hate this as an approach but I can't see how else to do it. I do have coding experience (including JavaScript) but haven't made the leap into SuiteScript yet.
You won't be able to do this in a Workflow, as they are currently limited to only work with body level fields and cannot modify Transaction Column Fields (aka sublists).
You should be able to achieve this with a Client Side Script though.
Source (Netsuite login required).
Sublist changes will be available for transactions in the 2018.1 release sometime in Feb/Mar.
On CRM in the appointments you can click on the regarding tab to open up that appointments Case details.
Is it possible to add the CASE number for that appointment to the appointments page. Reason being every time I want to see the case number I need to click on regarding tab and open up another webpage.
Would be nice to just have the case number appear on the appointment page, anyway on the page is fine.
Is this possible?
thanks
I agree with Alex and Disagree with Darren, although a plugin would get the job done it seems very excessive for what you are trying to accomplish.
The best way to do this between entities is to use the mapping fields between entity relationships however i don't believe CRM allows this between case and appointment in which case i would create a workflow.
Create a workflow on appointment firing on create or on-change of the regarding field, pull the case number field from the case entity when regarding is on case. This workflow will fire every time this event happens however you can build some extra logic around it and if there isn't a case entity no data will be pulled through.
Hope this helps
You can write a plugin on create and/or update of the regarding field on Appointment. Within this plugin you can check if the regarding field is populated and if so if the entity type is incident. If it is, obtain the Case Number (using the OrganizationService) and set the value of a custom attribute on the triggering Appointment.
Add the custom attribute to the Appointment form. Generally this kind of reference information goes in the header section but it's entirely up to you. If you don't place it there make sure you mark it as read-only.
Depending on your use case you may also want to check in the plugin when the regarding field changes. If the regarding is removed or changed you'll need to make sure you update the case number on the Appointment to reflect this.
I'm trying to create some sort of reservation system in SharePoint using a calendar list. It's been recommend to me to create events and add a column which allows a user to claim it. From there, claimed events would change color and only those who've claimed the event would have permission to unclaim the event.
This is what it would look like (see alternative option):
What I'd like to be able to do though, is instead of having to create three events like shown in the alternative option, creating 1 event (see original) and have that be broken down into 3 events or more, maybe using some form of drop down asking for intervals (ie. 15m, 30m, 1h). Based on the selected interval, it'd break the event accordingly.
A possible solution is in your main event you add another field named Interval.
The you design a workflow when you create the event that creates new events according to the interval specified using a while loop while incrementing the start time with your interval.
Those new events have a content type with a field named UserClaimed. you then associate another workflow to those new events that checks for that field and changes permissions on the event to only allow modifications of that event to the user specified.
This is the general idea, the implementation should not be that hard
just a thought -
I mean, the reason i think you want the events to pre-exist is so that users can easily create them in the correct time slot (rather than clicking the new item menu, which throws them away from the calendar view/context). Is that right?
If so, allow me to offer you this scenario:
If you are using KWizCom's Calendar Plus web part (yeah, I work for KWizCom...) it allows you to type in the event in the calendar itself directly.
Something simple like: "1pm-2:30pm Training meeting with Josh"
check the demo video here: http://www.kwizcom.com/sharepoint-add-ons/sharepoint-calendar-plus-web-part/overview/
Also, drag and drop events in the calendar to move them easily, and it also supports color coding events based on categories (meta data, views, sources, etc.).
The one thing you will need to develop is the unique meeting logic, and owner permissions.
meaning, an event handler that does not accept 2 meetings at the same time for the same room (define the unique resource field, if any), and the logic that allows only the person who created an event to edit or delete it.
ping me, I can help with the event handler - perhaps we can add this to our product, this is actually a cool idea. my work mail is shai at kwizcom dot com
I have two different custom entities. The first one (payment) I create manually using a form. When the payment is created it executes a plugin that will create one or more vouchers. The plugin creates the voucher without a problem. The problem is when I go to the payment and click on vouchers, I don't see the voucher I just created listed. If I go look at all the vouchers I can see the one I just created. There is a 1 to many relationship from payment to voucher. What do I need to do in my plugin for the entities to be related?
Thanks
Sounds like you just haven't setup the relationship back to the triggering payment when you create the voucher.
Given the 1:N relationship and since you're creating the voucher in the context of a payment plugin you can set the lookup on the voucher to the payment for which the plugin is currently executing (target).
new_voucher.new_paymentid = new EntityReference(...);
new_paymentid is the lookup attribute on voucher (obviously it'll be called something else in your case). For the EntityReference you'll need to define the EntityName and Id of the product, which you can read from the target.
