Let users register wanting to attend an event

What kind of an issue is this?

What is the expected behaviour?

Most people might not know that online actually have a calendar which updates itself. It works the way that if you go in Events -> archive, you can check the my events box. Here you can export this calendar with only my events.

My events however Is a list of all events you registered/pressed that register button for. You cannot add events with no registration to my events, alas you can't add them to the self updating calendar

Maybe make a button for "add to my events".

Another suggestion which I think could be considered is to replace the current "add to calendar" on an event site to add the whole updating calendar since currently that button will put each new new event in a new seperate calendar

There has been thoughts to add this for usage in Onlineweb Frontend.

Back-end work should not really be that hard.

• Could add a many-many relation between users and events?
• Create a filter for events in much the same way to have is_attending.
• Create an action to the event view for selecting which events you want to attend.
• ...Probably some more stuff that pops up during implementation

Possible extension would be to add support for linking wanting to attend an event and attendance from other platforms such as Facebook, as described in #1306

Other stuff: committees could get a feel for attendance before it actually opens. Might be confusing so that people think they're registering for an event when they're just showing interest. Another usage here is getting some sort of notification when the event registration is coming up if you're interested in.

If the button or whatnot says "follow" I think it's pretty clear it's not actually signing up.

My idea was pretty much taking inspiration from Facebook's event system. But I believe Follow is a better word for it. Would be great if we could add social events a way to that calendar too
