A TYPO3 extension.

tx_workshops provides functionality for managing and displaying workshops, and ships with signup functionality.

This extension and its features are developed on demand. If you're missing a feature, we'd be happy to accept some code for it. Alternatively, contact us if you'd like to sponsor a feature and we'll happily integrate it for you.

Workshops requires some basic TypoScript to work properly. Include the static extension template into your template and you're set. If you don't include the static TypoScript, TYPO3 will not recognize the table mappings required for tx_workshops to work.

In order to keep everything as minimalistic as possible, advanced features are disabled by default. Have a look at the extension configuration inside the extension manager to enable/disable features.

The only validation which is always run on registrations is extbase's EmailAddressValidator. If you need more validations, you're free to configure them through TypoScript. Example:

plugin.tx_workshops.settings.registration.validation {
	firstName {
		10.validator = NotEmpty
		
		20.validator = StringLength
		20.options.minimum = 5
	}
    
    additionalFields {
        membershipCode {
            10.validator = NotEmpty
        }
    }
}

A list of validators together with valid options for them is available in the API documentation.

Delivering an email takes some time. In order to optimize frontend response times on e.g. registrations, emails can be delivered through a scheduler task / cron job in the background. For this, you have to set the according TypoScript configuration option. If this is an issue for you or for your hosting provider (sadly, this can be the case), you should configure workshops to deliver directly. Have a look at the TypoScript file inside Configuration/TypoScript, which lists all possible settings.

Attention: Have a look at the issues, as there is currently a problem when delivering emails through cron when using multiple languages.

In order to deliver confirmation emails, make sure to have a working scheduler, and register the appropriate extbase tasks. The following tasks are currently provided:

• notification:registrationConfirmationCommand - Delivers notification mails to workshop attendees.

Email templates are freely configurable through fluid, you'll find them in Resources/Private/Templates/Notifications.

Make sure that your TYPO3 instance is properly configured for email delivery. Check your install tool / LocalConfiguration.php for valid information in the [MAIL] section. There's also a report module checking for this. Alternatively, you can set required information for delivery through TypoScript.
