We run training classes and need to enforce prerequisites when someone registers for an event. This topic has been discussed in the past and I was wondering if this feature has been worked on or is on the road map. If not, are their any recommendations for a developer to build this functionality?

Thanks!

This is possible with the WP User Integration add-on. It has a feature that allows you to set a capability on a ticket. For example, once a user meets the prerequisites they can be given capability Y. Once that user account has capability y, and you set ticket z‘s capability requirement to require capability y, then user x can get that ticket. Users accounts without capability y (and anyone not logged into the site) cannot get ticket z.

Thank you for the info Josh.

Can these capabilities be automatically added to the user upon registration for the event?

Another use case would be that a user registers for class 1 and class 2 at the same time where class 2 has class 1 as the prerequisite. Would we be able to support that as well?

Best Regards,
Jason

This is possible with some custom PHP programming.

If the classes are two datetimes each with its own ticket within one event, yes. This is because you can set an option to set the ticket for class 1 as required, which will only allow the registration to proceed for class 2 if class 1 is also selected.

Thanks Josh.

This may not work, each one of our classes is a separate event. What do you suggest?

Best Regards,
Jason

Hi Jason,

I can suggest contacting one or more of the developers listed here and they can give you a quote on building an extension to require the registration of one event before allowing another:
