Sign up deadline for activities #1013

Open SilasPeters opened 2 years ago

SilasPeters commented 2 years ago

Yet another date to store and process, aiming to inform the member untill when he can change his mind and sign up.

Current state

Some activities, like going on a vacations or to amusement parks, require buying tickets and what not. Of course there is a limit on till when you can buy tickets and if you can buy tickets again. Thus often there is one and only one moment where tickets are bought. As a member, you might postpone your decision to sign up. But knowing when it's too late to sign up might prevent cunfusions like "but I signed up" (if that ever happens) and stress like "I may have to sign up today, and not later." In general it is nice to know what your possibilities are.

Changes

A simple extra field which tells members when they are too late. Also, this field may enable Koala to automatically close the Activity on said date.

Note

Perhaps this can be combined with the current sign out deadline? It seems that in some scenarios this and a (proposed) sign up deadline are the same thing. It might be easier to save a boolean representing if they are treated the same way for an activity, easing comparisons? Just thinking ahead here.

This is the same as the sign out deadline

The internal affairs board member says that this issue is indeed relevant, as he states that there is nu such thing as setting a deadline for singing up. Right now he has to manually toggle the ability to sign up for every activity.

At the very least, the website should mention that there is a sign in deadline.

This is enough reason to re-open this issue in my opinion. Also, I remember this being a point of discussion which was not resolved.
