A signup sheet implementation for Plone
Project description
SignupSheet
SignupSheet is an add-on product that allows site managers to create custom registration forms for events, workshops, fundraisers and other events that require online registration. Each SignupSheet defines the fields that are used for each Registrant object they contain, through the ATSchemaEditorNG product. The Registrant object is what the end user fills out and submits. The workflow places each submitted Registrant in a private state once it is submitted so that it can be reviewed and approved.
The SignupSheet has these additional features:
Registrant fields can be exported to CSV
A waiting list and event size can be set, end users are emailed a message stating whether they are pending approval or on the waiting list.
The signup sheet view indicates whether the SignupSheet is ‘full’, ‘open’ or whether user will be put on a waiting list. This is calculated using the event size and waiting list settings.
End user is directed to a customizable thank you page.
The key motivation behind this product is to provides a way for site managers to setup registration forms that do more than email the fields to an address. Having the fields be configurable is essential, since many groups have specific requirements for the data they are collecting for their events.
Authenticated user
If you plan to give to authenticated users a way to subscribe to events, SignupSheet try to fill automatically some registration data from the user’s data.
Know that if you keep all default fields (”First name”, “Last name” and “E-mail”), they are filled automatically taking the same fields from the user.
As Plone commonly use a single “Fullname” info, while SignupSheet split it to first and last name, the procedure try to split your fullname in two.
If your fullname policy is to keep last, then first name in that order, you can change the same order modifiying the first_last_name_order property in the product’s ZMI properties sheet.

Installation

Acknowlegements
This product would not be possible without the Poi and RichDocument products by Martin Aspeli. They provided useful example code, specifically around the workflow trigger pattern.
In addition Upfront Contacts by Roche Compaan for the CSV export code.
In addition thanks to Simon Pamies for assisting me with ATSchemaEditorNG, and Andreas Jung for providing useful code improvements.
Naro for the Plone 3 compatibility work
Andres Jung for eggifying SignupSheet
PloneGov
Those sponsored the product inside the PloneGov initiative.
Camera di Commercio di Ferrara sponsored some i18n fixes
S. Anna Hospital, Ferrara sponsored the workflows and roles update
Known Issues and Potential Improvements
Signupsheet needs more explanatory text. Schema editor has been simplified but needs better explanatory text.
It is possible to prematurely fill up registration by malicious user. Subscriptions are no more saved (and a portal status message is displayed), but confirmation e-mail are sent.
At release time, the last ATSchemaEditorNG available version was the 0.6.0. Using this version you will have some problems with signup sheet validation (see ticket #26 for the fix)
If you are using this behind Varnish or other reverse-proxy, you can experience privacy problems. Please configure you environment to not cache URL with thank_you_message, or enable the traverse_to_thankyou flag in the signupsheet_properties sheet.

added Portuguese Brasilian translation. Thanks Vitor Reis.
added ‘view registrants’ that displays current registrants status and allows for confirming and editing registrants
added i18n support for templates
added German translation
updated tests to pass
updated i18n
Because thank_you_page and email_response fields were changed from TextField to ZPTField it is necessary to manually run migration code from Extensions/migrate method fixZPTFields. This method will read old values from these two fields and store the same value in new format. WARNING: if you don’t run migration you will get AttributeError: read when accessing old SignupSheet objects
It is possible to generate HTML emails
workflow script sendInitialEmail is called before the transition, because anonymous can access registrant object only in ‘new’ state. If script will be called after transition, Registrant.sendNotificationMail method won’t have access to registrant object. Access is required due to rendering templates from ZPTField.
removed signupsheet_email_* templates
Introduced TALESField and TemplateFields dependecy. SignupSheet uses these two fields for scripting thank_you_page, confirmation and notification email (subject and message). Syntax is described in field help text:
context = SignupSheet options/registrant = current Registrant object
added notifyEmail field to signupsheet schema. It allows to send notification about new registrant to some email address.
removed registration of SignupSheet.css from portal_css
it is possible to use options/computed_text in email template now
use getSiteEncoding if available
additional i18n work (signupsheet.py - schema)

replaced dtml templates with ZPT with i18n
