responsive event registration form?

Amy Daly

I found some old posts about this, but nothing current, so I'm trying again... Is there any way to make event registration forms responsive for mobile devices? If not, does anyone know if this is on the horizon? It seems crazy not to have this capability in 2018, when the majority of our constituents are opening emails on mobile devices... Thanks!

We think also that this is just a basic "must have" for our needs. Can BB give us a timeline or maybe this will be implemented in Luminate BETA?

I'm on board with that too. We had to spend an extensive amount of time to make it responsive. And the hardest part is that most of the page is still in an html table.

I do not see responsiveness enhancements on the product roadmap for the first part of next year. I have seen a number of organizations create responsive Calendar event pages using CSS & JavaScript, either implemented by their web staff, through Blackbaud Services or working with a partner. Here are some examples:

I just went and both upvoted and commented, Loc. Thanks for the link. I didn't say so there, but the so-called "Modern" look of the calendar events/reg form doesn't work for us at all. I think that's meant to be a sort-of responsive look, but it breaks our Page Wrappers, and, there's a bug that makes the "opens new window" function of tickets show up as an add-on at the very bottom of the screen, instead of as a pop-up or new tab or whatever, like the "Classic" version does. So, no bueno!

Thanks for your thoughtful responses, everyone! And thanks for sharing the link to vote for this as a future product improvement, Loc Van Gaver‍. I voted and hope many others will, as well. It's frustrating to me that you have to either have knowledge of CSS & JavaScript--or pay an outside vendor--to make  an event or RSVP page responsive. This is super tough on small organizations.
