How do I create a sign up for an event that includes names?
-
How do I create a poll or post where users can RSVP to an event and their name will show so I know exactly who is coming, not just that ‘5’ or ’10’ replied ‘yes’?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
You could use the contact form to have people sign up for your event. The contact form can be customized to suit your purpose:

I could use the contact form, but I would then have to log all responses and it would only come to me. I’d like a list to be generated when students “register”.
-
You could have them sign up by commenting on an “invitation post.”
Other than that, there is no automatic way to collect such information.
-
There are online invite places like evite that will track names and numbers of people attending an event – intended for parties but something like that might be workable.
-
I’m feeling whiny … I don’t have all my student’s email addresses create an evite list.
“Commenting” on a post still leaves me logging responses to have a “guest list”. Maybe WordPress can put this on their to-do’s??BTW — thanks for the ideas!

I believe the reason wp.com does not have such a feature is that it could easily be misused by potential spammers harvesting email addresses.

A group that I belong to had some sort of online signup spreadsheet – but I don’t remember how it was done – I have ask the person in charge of the event if they know how the spreadsheet was done by the IT guy – was simple to use –
I wonder if something could be done with Google Aps and a password to an online spreadsheet.

Looks like Google doc’s can embed a spreadsheet in your Post and the spreadsheet can be edited by viewers other than you – can’t seem to get the change the sheet in WordPress.COM and I am missing some part of the update the spreadsheet to my Post (on a test blog not the site linked to my name)
You could put the link to the spreadsheet in a Password protected post and it looks like your students could sign themselves up.
Still a few bugs in my understanding of all of this – but shows promise

auxclass — very helpful! I will review in detail.
I also looked at Eventbrite — I think this might be the ticket! I created an event that is password protected. I will post an invite with the password on my protected wordpress site. No need to enter everyone’s e-mail addresses and it will create a list for me.
I so appreciate the idea!

I had the pleasure of using Eventbrite as a WordCamp attendee a couple of months ago. I recommend it (as an attendee).
