Not exactly an issue, but I wasn't sure where else to make this comment. We hope to implement the Evanced Events Importer on our upcoming site. I've found a way to create a workaround for patron registration. Download and install the Conditional Fields module (http://drupal.org/project/conditional_fields). Create a text field "Evanced Signup" or something similar, and the only allowed values are "0" and "1". Create another text field "Evanced URL" or something similar, and allow filtered input (I couldn't get this to work with the Link module [http://drupal.org/project/link]). Map signup to "Evanced Signup" and link to "Evanced URL." Make "Evanced URL" appear only if "Evanced Signup"=1. So if no registration is required, the link to the Evanced page doesn't appear. If this makes sense, perhaps you could include it in your documentation.

Great suggestion and thanks for sharing! We're moving toward using the patron registration features in our Evanced installation and have kicked around a similar idea. Glad to hear it's working for you.

In the long term, we would like to see a more integrated solution. A big motivation behind this module is to provide our visitors with a consistent interface as they use the full range of our online resources, so I'd really like to see a solution for registration that keeps visitors in the Drupal site, instead of jumping out to the standard Evanced interface and having to get them back again.

Yes to more integration and consistency, and keeping visitors on the Drupal site. But this was the best I could do for the moment!

@jonlibrary Thanks for this workaround--it was just what I needed! Meanwhile, I'll hope for more integrated registration link functionality down the road.
