#27 GMR Wait List Malfunction

[Joey Nicholson]

The wait list for our test GMR class did not work internally. While externally it did display as Wait List Only when we manually switched it over, it did not seem to recognize our limit. Also, when we registered for the class as wait list, we got confirmation emails saying we were on the wait list, but within the eventsadmin system we did not appear on the wait list (i.e. those who should have been on the wait list were not greyed out and did not have the UN-waitlist button next to them to add them to the class). Sharon Dennis seems to think this is a pretty simple fix that may have just been an error copy-and-pasted over to the GMR section. She recommended comparing to the MCR and PSR areas, since the wait list feature works properly for them. Again, this is probably something that should be looked at for all of the new regions we are adding....PNR, NER, SEA, MAR, and OERC. Probably easier to fix them all now than wait for each region to discover the problem again.

I did some analysis of what is happening in the system regarding wait-listing, and here is what I discovered:

For NTCC, MCR, and PSR:

If a class reaches the registration limit, the public page (/training/schedule/index.html) displays the class as "wait-list only" .

For all other regions, the public page is supposed to show (by design) "registration closed" when the registration limit is reached.

However, because the correct script is not being called (cleanup.php), nothing happens on the public page when a GMR class exceeds the registration. On the dev site, I changed this to call the correct script, so that a full class shows "registration closed". Do we want leave this as is, or implement this wait-list option for GMR?

For NTCC:
If a user registers after the public page shows "wait-list-only", the internal "view registration by class" page (eventsadmin/regs_by_class.html), shows the class as waitlisted and the row is grayed.

For other regions (PSR, MCR) if a user registers after the class is listed as "wait-list-only", the eventsadmin internal page(eventsadmin/regs_by_class.html) does not list the class as wait-listed in a gray box. This seems to be incorrect. Should I fix this for PSR and MCR?

This is a lot of information so let me know if something is not clear....
