Standard configurations for event types (seminar.configuration)

If you select an event type (seminar, test, etc.) in the Event wizard, this initially has no functional effects. With the help of the seminar.configuration system setting, the desired standard configuration can be adapted for each event type. For example, a registration confirmation can always be sent for the “Seminar” event type. We will explain how to configure this in these instructions.

1

Log in as an author and go to Administration → System settings. Open the seminar.configuration setting by clicking on the title.

2

In the Edit property field, enter the configuration for the desired event types. Use the following notation:

Veranstaltungstyp-Nummer.Parameter=Wert

Example: Automatic sending of a registration confirmation for the “Training” event type

5.enableCustomConfig=1
5.seminarCommunicationMail=1

The first entry activates the individual configuration for event type 5 “Training”. The second entry defines the automatic sending of a registration confirmation as standard.

Save the configuration and check the function.

As soon as the configuration for an event type is activated and the corresponding parameters are stored in the system settings, authors are asked whether the standard configuration should be applied when selecting the event type.

Standard configuration for all event types

If you want to adjust the standard configuration in principle (it then applies to all event types), you can also define this. Use the following notation:

Parameter=Wert

Example: The automatic sending of a registration confirmation should be activated in principle

seminarCommunicationMail=1

In this case, no activation of the configuration is necessary and the information is provided without the event type number.

Example

#standard konfiguration seminarEscort=5 ...

#config für event sub typ 3 3.enableCustomConfig=1 3.seminarEscort=10 ...

#config für event sub typ 4 4.enableCustomConfig=0 4.seminarEscort=20 ...

This configuration specifies for a newly created event that the number of accompanying persons is set to 5 by default.
For event type 3, the configuration is activated and the number of accompanying persons is set to 10.
For event type 4, a configuration is stored, but deactivated (4.enableCustomConfig=0). Thus, the value from the standard configuration still applies.
No configuration has been stored for all other event types. Therefore, the standard configuration also applies here.

Note
If an author subsequently changes the event type and a special configuration is stored for it, he receives a query as to whether the relevant settings should be adjusted. If the author accepts the adjustments, the settings of the event are updated.

Requirement
Author account with the permission System settings: Change, create
