Add a "Cancel by" date to registration settings

PS..... it would also work so that you can only change Status during the period set up in the registration settings for opening and closing registrations.

Yes and no. First off, thanks for pointing out the global admin page that had a check in the "ignore the open and close dates" which I was elated to see! I thought unchecking that would fix everything, but I ran the test below and got poor results. Here's what I did.

Made a new registration event.
Enabled the registration.
Set the Open date to yesterday and the close date to tomorrow.
On a non-admin account, I checked and registration was open and good.
I went ahead and registered with the non-admin account.
Using the admin account, I changed the close date to yesterday (1 minute past the open date).
On the non-admin, I no longer could register which was great!

Here's where it gets odd.

I have a view set up that shows users their registrations. It allows the edit functions with a pull down to allow for edit, cancel, and delete (if given permissions to do so).

On the non-admin user, with the close date past, they are allowed to cancel their registration using that views interface.

So, is this more a views issue that I should just not allow that (but I don't see an interface to allow people to cancel their registrations otherwise), or is it a registration thing allowing a cancel outside the open/close dates?

Let me know if you need me to try anything to test theories.

Thanks again!!!!

OK, so I've done that testing as well and it still isn't working right (most likely I'm doing something wrong).

Here's what I did this time.

On the main admin page, I ensured the following:
Disregard open and close dates in register access check NOT CHECKED
Prevent edit of existing registrations when new registration is disabled IS CHECKED
Require update access to registrations IS CHECKED
Cleared the cache.

Set up a new event.
Set open dates to a few days ago and close to a few days from now. Saved the event.
Using a non-admin user, I registered for the event.
Everything looks good.

Then, using admin account, I edited the event to move the close date to yesterday.
Cleared the cache again.
Using non-admin user, I went to the user profile, and the Registrations tab (which is the views page listing registrations for that user)
Using the Views Operations column, I used the pull down menu to Cancel.
It asked if I was sure and I confirmed.
The Status of the registration now shows Cancelled.

Again, what I'd like is for once the event registration is closed, I do not want users to be able to cancel their registration.

Thanks again for your help in this!!!

OK, here's the permissions that I have. Most of the non-admin role permissions are NOT checked. Here are the ones that are checked:

Administer own registrations View, edit and delete own registrations of this type.

View own registrations

View own registrations View own registrations, regardless of type.

Registration workflow: Use the Cancel transition. Move registrations from Pending, Complete, Waitlist states to Canceled state.

And that's it. It's so odd!!! Thanks for looking for me!

Let me ask this question....how do you allow users to cancel their registration? Does it use a view? I'm just wondering if the view method I'm using is bypassing your system.

Ooooooo the new Cancel_by sounds great! I'll see about possibly testing it on a different site. The existing site is used pretty heavily so I'll wait a little bit before the upgrade. EXCITING!!!!

Thanks again for all your help with this module. Any updates on a new official release as referenced above?

Perfect! Thanks for the status update. Love your module!
