I am looking for recommendations if this extension is able to create sign up sheets for a client.
They need the ability to have multiple volunteers for a single task/job/assignment for specific times across the course of a day. Bonus points if it supports multi-day events.
An example of an event might look like this:
8 AM - 9 AM Set Up 6 volunteers needed.
9 AM - 11 AM Kitchen Help 4 volunteers needed.
9 AM - 11 AM Servers 6 volunteers needed.
11 AM to 1 PM Kitchen Help 4 volunteers needed.
11 AM to 1 PM Servers 6 volunteers needed.
1 PM to 2 PM Clean Up 4 volunteers needed.
Thanks,
Steven
You can build a sign up form, but you will need a way to track the number of bookings under each time slot, this will need a custom database table to store the count of bookings for each slot
Thanks for the quick reply.
Is there a tutorial that you recommend for getting up to speed on this sort of project?

unfortunately no, but if you are familiar with Chronoforms8 then this is how you can do it:
First, to be clear, you need a form to sign up users for time slots, with limited availability, users will choose a time slot from a dropdown, and full timeslots will be removed.
- Build your form
- your time slots dropdown will use "Dynamic options", where it will read the slots options from a db table you will build
- The db table will have 3 columns, slot_id, slot_title, slot_empty_seats
- You will need to setup the "Read data" conditions which will feed the Dynamic dropdown to read all records from that db table, and the condition is slot_empty_seats > 0
- In the last page of your form, in the submit area, you need to use a "save data" to decrement the slot_empty_seats of the selected time slot
if you need help building the form for a fee then we can help
