Face-to-face Registration Deadline?
by ? ? - Thursday, 21 June 2012, 3:11 PM
 

Is there any way to set a deadline for allowing learners to sign-up for a face-to-face session?  I'm looking for a solution similar to how this is possible at the course level by via the "Course Enrollable" setting of adding a Date Range...

For example, within a single course we would like to allow learners to select one of several different face-to-face offerings on different dates.  A pre-work activity would need to be assigned a minimum of one week prior to each face-to-face session's start date, therefore we would like to set a cutoff date to give them enough time to complete the activity.  

If this is not possible, would our only other option be to manually hide each session as it's "deadline" date approaches?

Many thanks!

Hi John,

I'm afraid this functionality is not currently supported by the face-to-face module.

Hi Simon,

We would also require this possibility. Any ideas on how to implement this?

Kind regards,

Wouter

Alastair (who is a core totara developer but also the face-to-face maintainer) has recently received an offer of a patch that sounds like it might meet your need:

We created two enhancements to Face-to-face that I'm going to have my developer send
to you as patches. One adds an options that allows you to suspend auto-enrollments
from the waitlist within X days of an event. The other allows you to select X number
of days prior to an event to suspend regular registrations.

We'll post it here when they send it through and investigate what would be involved in integrating it.

Can we get this one as well? There are also several others in our user group that would like this.

Thanks

We'll post it to this forum post when they send it through.

Eventually it should make it's way into the module as part of the release.
