An event registration system for dance organizations.
- PHP 5.3.2+
- MySQL 5.0.3+
- WordPress 2.7.0+
- Composer
Note: The WordPress database table prefix is not supported. If you rely on the prefix to run multiple WordPress installs in a single database, then you will not be able to have separate data for each install.
- Install/update dependencies via Composer.
- Activate the plugin in WordPress. (This will create/update the database tables.)
The short answer:
- Call
RegSys::registrationHead()
prior to callingget_header
to enqueue stylesheets and scripts. - Call
RegSys::registrationForm()
from where you want the registration form to appear.
The simplest way, if you are using your default header and footer:
- Copy
page-register.php
to your theme's folder. - If the slug for your registration page is not
register
, then rename the new file to match the appropriate slug.
If you are using a Custom Page Template that does not use your default header and footer (e.g., for multiple pages in a sub-section):
- Add a Custom Field named
regsysRegistrationForm
with a value oftrue
to prevent the default header and footer from being used. - Use
get_post_meta
to test forregsysRegistrationForm
and call the previously mentioned methods as appropriate.
If your theme has a stylesheet named style-regsys.css
, it will be included automatically along with this plugin's default stylesheet.
If you want to use your own stylesheet without including the plugin's default stylesheet, use style-regsys-override.css
instead.

If you are taking in more housing requests than you can handle, then you can switch from the third to the second option for Housing Support
.
This will disable requests for needing housing while still allowing people to sign up to provide housing.
The Needs Additional Info?
field:
-
The various
Requires โฆ
options will cause additional fields to appear on the registration form (for competitions only). -
If part of your event consists of a workshop/classes, you should flag any package that would include classes with the
Package has Classes
option. This allows for better tracking of class-specific lead/follow numbers (i.e., you can exclude anyone registered for a dancing-only package).
The reports are visible to Administrators and Editors.
The Registration List report can (should) be used to verify that people paying via check have paid the right amount. Payments from PayPal are automatically confirmed via Instant Payment Notification.
There is a line in the plugin file confirm-paypal.php
that hardcodes the path to the WordPress file wp-load.php
.
The default value assumes that the wp-content
folder has been moved outside of the WordPress directory.
It also assumes that the WordPress directory itself has been renamed to wp
.
If either of these assumptions are not correct, then you will have to edit the path manually.
Thank you for reading, namaste, and good luck.
