Suscribing to a course

Thursday 09 October 2003 4:15:37 pm

Hi everybody,
after doing some basic work with ezp 3.2 for a few weeks now, i'm getting to a point where i need (again) some help:

I'm going to create a site for a skiing club. There i want to publish courses (this works), i want the users to create their own account (works too) and, if they are logged in, give them the possibility to sign in to a course (what is not working yet). The course has participant limit, which should be a constant minus the number of persons already signed in. The user should see in his details, to which courses he has inscribed. And, at least, I should see, which course has which participant.
For this i am using a class 'course' and a class 'participant'.

My Question is: Do i have create a new module for this? Or is it possible to create such a sign-in process with build-in functions of ezp? How do i have to start? Perhaps you can give me a hint.

Thanks a lot, greetings from Karlsruhe, Thomas

Hi Eirik,
i'm not sure, if i understand your advice. Do you mean with "placements of object", that the user, when he suscribes to a course, would create a node of his own user account and this node will be placed under the course he suscribes in? Thanks for your advice, i will try out with it. If you meant another method, i would be thankful, if you could tell me!
But i'm thinking about the code for creating a new node in a special directory. The code must contain the user id, the node id of the object where the new node is copied to and the node id of the object itself. Can someone help me with this?
Is there a special command for creating nodes and directly coping them under a specific object?

Thank you, Thomas

That's exactly what i'm doing the last three days :-)
I'm quite new to ezp, so i have difficulties understanding every part of the module system. I saw, that there is a possibility in /content/edit_placement.tpl to define the folder where the node should be placed, but i have troubles 'transporting' the course_id through the 'edit-form' from my course page to the edit page, where i then want to define the folder.

I have created a <input type="hidden" name="SetCourseID" value="{$node.node_id}" />, and i get the $SetCourseID in the /user/edit.php (it is a user node, which must be copied) with $setCourseID = $http->postVariable( 'SetCourseID' );

But as the 'SetCourseID' is not used in edit.php, i'm not knowing how to get the value of the $SetCourseID back in the edit.tpl

So if one can show me the command, how to store the $SetCourseID (perhaps throug a session command?!) back in a template variable, i would be very very thankful!!

Greetings, Thomas
