Event Participation Buttons

Feature
2

Hi,

CSS solution below but please note that :
-You will not be able to use the event channel features with it for users who pick the “interested” category
-If notifications/updates from the event topic are important, then please check how different the notifications are for the “interested” status and for the “going status” (like will users receive event updates, confirmation email?)

1° Right click on your page and select inspect to check your topics category css class as you only want to apply this “hack” to specific categories

2° Add this to your theme css(admin>appearance>theme>active>edit css), the class must start with the .css class found above; here “category-events”

.category-events.btn.btn-icon-text.interested-button .d-button-label {
        display: none !important;
}

.category-events.btn.btn-icon-text.interested-button::after {
        content: 'Conf call participation';
}

3° View the participants who selected this second option from the … menu of the event “show participants”

What’s cool is that you can do this for the going and not going buttons also as they also have their own css class(thank you discourse devs !)

My biggest wish right now would be an option to limit the number of participants for events and a waiting list that sends a message to say that participation is confirmed when a spot gets freed.
