conreg

ConReg is a system for registering members of science fiction conventions.
It was initially developed in 2015 when Drupal 8 had just launched, and I did not know anything!
There are many things that were done because I needed it to work and didn't have time to learn how to do it properly.
I have since learned a lot, but needed to keep live sites running, so didn't have time to fix the main problems.
It was originally hosted on GitHub, but is in the process of moving to Drupal.org to facilitate modernisation, development of test cases, and integration into the Drupal Ecosystem.

Development roadmap

Tiding up the project will take time, and won't happen overnight. The following stages are envisioned.

• Version 1.x: Keep largely compatible with the old GitHub version, but gradually make more compatible with Drupal best practices, move custom classes into Drupal Services where possible, and implement test cases.
• Version 2.x: Move from database tables to Drupal entities. Use fieldable entities for customisation.
• Version 3.x: Integrate with Member Platform, and replace internal entities with CRM entities for member storage. Reduce codebase size where possible, and use recipes to customise other modules where practical. Aim to make ConReg a layer over functionality largely provided by other modules, but provide a tailored experience, easy for science fiction conventions to get up and running. Ultimately provide site templates to provide a complete convention website starting point.

Features

Supports user registration with features convention membership expects.
Allow multiple members to be registered together.
Supports different membership types.
Support collection of customisable membership preferences.
Support "add on" payments for any extra charges or optional items.

Post-Installation

Install in the usual way. Currently you then need to add a record manually to the conreg_events table. That will be fixed soon.
Stripe keys need to be set up in settings to accept payments.

Additional Requirements

Requires Stripe PHP library, installed via Composer.
