Hi all;

A couple of questions on the "MyEnrollments" view.

  1. Can I change the sort order on the MyEnrollments view? Right now, it is in descending date order, but I would like to change it to ascending order.
  2. Can I filter the MyEnrollments view to show only the events that pass the "Event category" filter on the module page settings?   I am trying to set up Master/Subcalendar pages and would like members to only see their  "MyEnrollments" that are visible on each Subcalendar.  As it is, they can see events that are on the "Master calendar" (visible only to the editors) that are not even visible on the sub-calendar. (These are event in the planning stage, which may have member assignments, which have not yet been "published")
I have more issues with enrollment and unenrollment (these are all free events) where I would like more control over events that are pre-assigned to members (for mandatory attendance, no cancellation permitted) and those that are optional attendance (enrollment / cancellation the member's choice).

 

Any suggestions would be welcome!

Thanks,

Rigel

Hi All;

I've been playing more with the events module, and "MyEnrollments"  ideally should have some configuration options, such as a date range (before and after current date), date sorting, and as well as the option to be filtered by the settings in the event module. (If it is not on the viewable calendar, don't put it in the list).

It would really make this feature more usable, since our members are assigned to different events several times per month.

Should I be using a different module entirely?

Regards,

Rigel

Hi Rigel,

Thanks for your thoughts. If you can post your feature requests onto out CodePlex site we can consider them for a future release. Most of these seem reasonable, but if you can detail exactly what you want in your feature request, we can see how close we can get.

Thanks
Roger

Just as a matter of interest here, do you change the ctageory so it is displayed in the calendar your users can see?

Basically, yes.

I have one calendar -the master planning calendar - where all event editors enter their events for the members.

There are two basic event types - assignments and training. The members are enrolled in the assignment events by staff (the event editors). Members can enroll in Training events as they desire.

On the "Master calendar", if an "assignment" type of event is in the planning stage, it is given a category of "Provisional".  This category is restricted not to appear on the "assignments" calendar which is open to members' viewing.  But if they have an enrollment "behind the scenes" by an event editor on some provisional event, this provisional event shows up in their "MyEnrollments" list.

I discussed this with one of our event planners today, and they will develop a workflow to work around this; doing the enrollments just before they change the category from "Provisional" to "Approved". - when it is displayed on the sub-calendar.

 It would also be nice to have MyEnrollments to appear on a calendar view, but I know that is a lot of work! Whereas some filter settings on the SQL to generate the rows for the view is not as much work.

Really the Events module is an awesome piece of work!  There are already some enhancement requests in the Codeplex that I could use, such as a few more Custom Fields.  I use one field for multiple values and have my editors enter a "/" between the different entries, and parse them out in the reporting system.

 I disable members from un-enrolling from assignments by setting the "days prior to event for un-enrollment" to a large number. I had to do this setting on all three calendars to get the desired behavior. Unfortunately, this means they can enroll in training events, but cannot remove themselves. It's a minor inconvenience, though. We can work around it.

Regards,

Rigel
