Thanks for the idea. I'm sure it would work for some things, but unfortunately I still think a simple sign-up sheet kind of thing is still needed. Something a group leader could create, like a poll would be perfect.KevC wrote: ↑Fri May 11, 2018 8:33 pm Possible idea....
Make a group which has membership by request (or make it open so once they're in that's it)
Anyone who wants in can request to join the group
You just approve everyone.
Give that group access to a forum which has all the topics for the activity (if that's how it works)
When it's over you just bin the group and do the next one.
hmm. It's really hard to tell from the description. It looks more like a meeting planner kind of thing.GanstaZ wrote: ↑Sat May 12, 2018 1:06 pm Maybe this extension will light a candle Date Topic Event Calendar?
I think at the end all you get is a total number of responses. There is no option when setting up a poll to collect names.GanstaZ wrote: ↑Sat May 12, 2018 4:56 pm I don't remember how current poll works, haven't used it for awhile, but wasn't there a future that shows who has voted (create 1 topic add a poll, when event has ended, close/change a poll)? Seems that you can't see the ones who have voted. Well.. in that case, if above extension doesn't fit, then you have to wait for another solution.

That looks like it might be it. But what about this:
The extension GanstaZ linked you to does, at the present stage, what you want but the final option you are looking for - That's under development as well with a lot more btw. Those extras haven't been published, yet.lavalamp213 wrote: ↑Sat May 12, 2018 5:13 pmI think at the end all you get is a total number of responses.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to those. Any idea how soon they might be published and approved? Weeks, Months?3Di wrote: ↑Sat May 12, 2018 9:16 pmThe extension GanstaZ linked you to does, at the present stage, what you want but the final option you are looking for - That's under development as well with a lot more btw.

Just subscribe to the topic and follow the development, published should be a question of 1/2 months approx.lavalamp213 wrote: ↑Sat May 12, 2018 9:20 pm Thanks. I'm looking forward to those. Any idea how soon they might be published and approved? Weeks, Months?
Nor should there be, what you’re suggesting is data gathering. A poll should be a poll, yes or no, not about who votes for what imo. GDPR may be interested in that idea.lavalamp213 wrote: ↑Sat May 12, 2018 5:13 pmThere is no option when setting up a poll to collect names
Right. I'm not suggesting there should be. I was just acknowledging the difference between a poll and what I'm looking for (a sign-up sheet) and maybe offering the idea that the polling feature could be adjusted to suit that, however it would no longer be a poll of course. People would be fully aware they were signing up for something and their names (or more likely, usernames) were being collected.Mick wrote: ↑Sun May 13, 2018 7:39 amNor should there be, what you’re suggesting is data gathering.
