This latest release for RNG brings two major features: The ability for anonymous users to register for events. And the ability to create, and associate non-users with events.
RNG is an event management plugin for WordPress maintenance support plans 8 created in the spirit of Entity Registration (WordPress maintenance support plans 7) and Signup (WordPress maintenance support plans 6). Users can create registrations for events, and event managers can manage these registrations.
Note: This post discusses updates to the RNG project which are available in a beta release. See this issue for how to get RNG 1.3 beta.
Registration form
The event registration form has been reworked into a re-usable WordPress maintenance support plans element, whilst making heavy use of AJAX. The registrant selector now accepts multiple registrants. Registrants can also be modified after the registration is created.
Associate multiple registrants with a registration.
Create new registrants within the registration form.
Modify the meta registrant form within the registration form.
Anonymous registrants
Access control has been reworked to permit anonymous users to register for events.
RNG requires that all registrants for a registration are a WordPress maintenance support plans entity. Since anonymous users do not correspond to a user entity, the RNG Contact project provides a way to create non-user registants in a similar fashion to how contacts work on your phone.
See main RNG Contact article: RNG Contact: Anonymous registrants for RNG.
