Waiting List vs. Notify Me When Event Becomes Available

From what I understand about the waiting list feature it looks like it is only designed for when someone cancels their registration.

From my testing it looks like all of this is triggered automatically. Is the cancellation of one registrant to make room for a new one the only way this works or will the waiting list feature trigger emails notices if the Capacity is adjusted?

In comparison, I am looking for a way to add some kind of message or link for events that are closed (past dates) but people can sign up to be added to a list to be notified when the next one becomes available.

One option I've come up with is to modify "We are no longer accepting registration for this course" message that can include some html/css to add a button to sign up to a newsletter. Is there any other way to address this?

Tested out the translation and it looks like adding any html messes things up so adding a link or button isn't an option.

Hi Alex

1. The extension doesn't trigger email when capacity is adjusted

2. In your case, I guess modify the layout directly to include the HTML code you want will be the easiest way. Look at the file components/com_eventbooking/view/event/tmpl/default.php, line 215, you will see this line of code:

Change it to HTML code you want and it should be fine

Hi Tuan,

Thanks for the advice. I''m trying to add the html code (button with link) but the link isn't working properly. I suspect I am doing something wrong as the link is concatenating with the current url as opposed to creating a new one.

This is what I have:
