Enclosed are the rough specifications that I am using to develop an RSVP function for the very popular JCal Pro extension. Feel free to check them out and comment if you'd like to weigh in or be a beta tester. 

FRONT END
> Where in the backend RSVP for this event = yes (see By Event tab below), Register for [XYZ] (where XYZ is specified in By Events tab) is added to each listing details page.
> Click through to RSVP form as follows:

Name*                   [         ]  If logged in, pull name from Community Builder profile, but leave editable
Email Address*       [         ]  If logged in, pull name from Community Builder profile, but leave editable
Phone Number        [         ]  If logged in, pull name from Community Builder profile, but leave editable
Category + corresponding price of ticket [drop-down box]
# of Guests [+  ] (only positive # up to 100 allowed)

And then 2 buttons:
[CHECKOUT and PAY AT DOOR]

[CHECKOUT and PAY NOW] <-- only include this option IF under Global settings PayPal is enabled AND IF one Ticket Category with a value greater than $.01 has been added to this specific event.


BACKEND
GLOBAL SETTINGS tab - add your PayPal account settings. Must have a PayPal account to use this function. If PayPal not turned on [Pay Now] will not be an option. Please use Advanced PayPal Donations Module as a model for how easy this can be to set up. get code here:

http://www.borghunter.com/2008/01/12/old-advanced-paypal-donation-module/ If you have better code, by all means, please start with that. Needs to integrate with Web Payments Pro.

BY EVENT tab - all details mapped in mock up. Registration turned on by event

TICKET CATEGORIES
Add ticket category like "Member" "Student" "Senior" "Dinner Table" "Dinner Ticket" all with corresponding $US dollar values. This will populate the drop down box on the BY EVENT tab.

I would certainly like to be a beta tester for this plug-in. Much needed

Thanks so much for the props :) It should be done in about 2 weeks now. It's fabulous looking -- just hasn't gone into any real testing, and we know what that means. I will post a comment here when it's ready for beta testers.

Fantastic Work!

Off the top of my head I cannot think of anything more you would need for a basic registration add-on for Jcal.... if something comes to mind - I'll let you know. :)

You Rock!

peace,
