06 - Add an event registration to the website

[luca-rath]

Allow for event registration on the website

Goal

We want to allow our users to register themselves for our events in the future. Therefore we need to display a
register form that includes input fields for a email address, a first and last name on each event detail page.

Steps

• Follow the symfony best practices to add a new EventRegistration entity
• Add a many-to-one association between the Event entity and your newly created EventRegistration entity
• Don't forget to update your database schema with bin/adminconsole doctrine:schema:update --force
• Follow the symfony best practices to add a new EventRegistration form type
• Persist submitted registrations in your src/Controller/Website/EventWebsiteController.php
• Output your form and a success message in your templates/events/index.html.twig
• Browse one of your events and register yourself

Hints

• Use bin/adminconsole make:entity EventRegistration
• https://symfony.com/doc/current/doctrine.html#creating-an-entity-class
• Use bin/adminconsole make:form EventRegistrationType EventRegistration
• https://symfony.com/doc/current/best_practices/forms.html
• Run bin/adminconsole doctrine:schema:validate

More Information

This assignment is purely based on Symfony. No Sulu knowledge required ;-)

Hi,

beautifull documentation as PR. Very usefull.
But I think that the reference to the new controller is missing in the config/templates/pages/event_overview.xml
If not i missed something.

Hi and thanks for your feedback! 🙂

The EventWebsiteController is not used for the event overview, it's used for the event detail page. There is a custom route defined in config/routes_website.yaml

Hi, great tutorial!

I think under Hints it should be
bin/adminconsole make:form EventRegistraionType EventRegistration
instead of EventType Event

and src/Controller/EventWebsiteController.php is located under src/Controller/Website/EventWebsiteController.php
