collective.signupsheet 0.2.0

Customizing the subscription form

This product is based on PloneFormGen so you can use the same form construction features. You have a great set of form fields available, but 3rd party products can enhance this list (for example: a captcha protection field could help).

The form is automatically generated with three core fields:

• Name

• Surname

• Email

The email field is recommended but you can freely change/delete them all and add much more fields.

Whatever form you define, your users must fill the form to subscribe.

Handling subscriptions

Every time a user fill the form, a “registrant” content is created inside the “Registrants” subsection of the form. The registrant is real working document that an administrator can edit later (we are using the poweful uwosh.pfg.d2c here).

For users able to manage the signup sheet an administrative view “View Registrant” is given.

From this view you can see the status of all subscriptions and confim them. Right now confirming a user subscription has only internal meaning and confirmed or unconfirmed users are not handled in different way.

Other features

Notification system

The Signup Sheet contains also two PloneFormGen mailer adapter, one for notification to the manager at every new subscription, another for notify the user itself after the subscription (for receive a confirmation of filled data).

You can customize those adapters for fit your needs (new mail messages, notify additional users, …).

Automatic notifications apart you can also use the “Notify Registrants” view, to send a custom message to all registrants (or to a part of them).

Historical tribute to SignupSheet

Altough this product is using more recent Plone technologies, it’s miming all the features of another product: SignupSheet.

The software stack used in the orginal product has become too old to be maintained anymore. We hope this new add-on will give same features and best flexibility.
