Hello all
I am looking for a bit of help please
I have just launched my first event where I am restricting event registration to a new Access Level. I have left the event as Public as I want anyone to see it but you can only register for this event if you have already attended a previous event with us and been assigned a Joomla access level to show that.
All works great so far with this part.
I have added text to the event description which says you can only register for this event if you have met the pre-reqs and eligibity and the event says you must login to register but it doesn't show a login button or anything I can use. On normal events when you click register it shows Already Registered? Login Here OR New Registration options. Please let me know if I am missing anything for the registration button to show publicly but then only show the Already Registered? Login Here option.
So I have added a hyperlink in the description text that says Please click here to login to register and that hyperlink is to a direct URL of the event regsitration page if that makes sense.
Clicking the hyperlink points to
www.domain-name.com/new-event/individual-registration
Clicking this takes you to the login prompt. If you login and have the correct access level assigned to you it redirects perfectly to the registration page which is great
The part I need help with is if someone has a user account with us already but isn't a part of the new access level to register for this event. They might not know this or haven't realised they are not eligible to register. If they click the hyperlink above to register and login all OK but aren't in the access level for the event, they are redirected to the home page instead. I understand this behaviour but wondered if it was possible to redirect this event back to my main event page before registration?
I hope I am making sense as I feel i'm rambling a bit now
What I would like to achieve is if someone has an account with us but isn't in the access level group to register they are redirected to the main event info page as I can put text on there saying if you have logged in but still can't register, please contact our office to check your eligibility for this event instead of them being redirected to the home page and getting confused.
Is it possible to state a URL for events where people don't have access to register in this case?
Thanks for any help from anyone
Chris
