Ability to update application after submission

[jeremyboggs]

Should consider adding a way for folks to update their application after they've submitted it. Especially if they've been accepted, and the information they've provided is incorrect or just needs updating. Curious if there would be any unwelcome consequences of adding this kind of feature.

Adding this as a possible solution to the issue raised in #63.

The only three fields that users can't currently update after submission are Days attending, T-shirt size, and Children. It would actually be good to put the T-shirt size field back in the user profile (which is now managed by this plugin), but the other two are camp-specific. It'd be nice to make them updatable after submission, but I don't think it's urgent, and I think it might create more problems than it solves. Still, if you can think of a way to do it, have at it.

@amandafrench Discipline also seems to be uneditable. Don't see it on the user profile form.

Hey, you're right. That should be there, for sure. By the way, if I'm remembering correctly, I think that when a non-logged-in existing user fills out the Registration Form with different information from what's in his/her existing profile, the existing profile information is not overwritten. So it's a little inaccurate of me to say that all the information is editable after submission.

It also looks like a user who is a site administrator can't register this way. Tried registering with my user email while logged out and got an error message saying "You cannot register the email address of a site administrator."

Of course my last comment has me wondering whether site administrators should bother registering. There's always plenty of ambiguity whether the folks organizing the event should register for the event. For logistics (t-shirt counts and sizes, camper listing, etc) it's helpful. But it also seems like a silly thing to have to do.

We put that in as a safeguard: if an admin registers, the plugin changes her/his privs to Author. It happened many times. Most admins don't go through the registration form, no. You can always add t-shirt sizes etc. into the spreadsheet manually.

It's also true that you can output all user info with Users --> Export User Info, though that produces a very messy spreadsheet as opposed to the lovely one produced by THATCamp Registrations. I did forget to mention that you may need to make sure that the Children field gets output in the Export Registration Info (or whatever it's called) thing.
