Partcipant types promo codes

Matt Barr

Hi -

 

I am looking to use promo codes on the links on a custom TR page to mean that only the aprtcipant types associated with each promo code will appear when that button/link is clicked. For example, if I click "join a team", only the participant type with promo code "team" associated will show.

 

This is not the issue to be honest as I have figuredt this out and it works well. However, once I have all participant types associated with a promo code, I find that the "join team" link on the team page goes to the participant type page and shows nothing. I then found that if I create a few participant types that are not associated with a promo code, they will show up when I click join team from a team page. This is great, yet now that they have no participant type assigned to them, they also show up on the other types that do have promo codes associated with them.

 

So, is it possible to either, a) configure the join team link on a team page to have a promo code associated with it so that only the types associated with that prmo code appear when clicked by any user? Or, b) is it possible to configure the join team link to redirect to a separate custom TR page where we can place custom links/buttons that send users to a promo code appropriate participant type page?

 

Would the 2nd option, if at all possible, then mean that clicking the link in the "join my team" email sent through the participant centre would send you to a participant type page with no selections as we again have all aprticipant types associated with a promo code?

Looks like we can add the following to the team page to add a promo code to the join button:

 

[[U0romoCode=join]]

 

Where "join" is the promo code associated with the particpant types we want to appear in the list when that join button is created. 

 

Would the next problem with the recruit team members email in participant centre be fixed by not enabling that email in the participant centre and, instead, editing the "other" suggested message to include a hard coded link to the url for "joining a team" which is a TR custom page with links/buttons on it that have promo codes associated with them to take the user to the custom list of participant types?

 

I realise this is thinking around the topic a bit, yet I'm also thinking it may work.
