Drupal 7 Custom Module: registration

Drupal 7 custom 'registration' module for the dgi coding test.

This is my implementation of the coding test as described in the dgi Coding Test, which involves creating a custom Drupal 7 module that allows students to register in a course. It includes:

• A database with a 'registration' table managed by the Drupal back end.

• A page with a form for adding student registrations which stores them in the 'registration' table on submission. The form is implemented using the Drupal Forms API.

• Limited access to the registration form page to authenticated users.

• A block that calculates the number of students signed up and displays it in the content region of the page only.

• A drush command to list the students signed up for the course.

Installation

This is a Drupal 7 module is called 'registration'. It can be installed like any other Drupal 7 module. Move the code to the {site_root}/sites/all/modules directory. Go to the modules page and enable the 'registration' module in the 'custom-modules' package. This creates the 'registration' table in the site's database.

Registration Form

The page can be reached by either using the 'Course Registration' link in the 'Navigation' menu, or by going to /registration. Simply fill out the form and press the 'Register' button to register. It should report a successful registration which can be seen as an entry in the database table.

The link in the 'Navigation' menu can be disabled or moved to another menu using the Drupal 7 Menu UI (at admin/structure/menu).

Registration Access

Access to the registration form is set to 'Authenticated User' by default. It can be managed in the Drupal 7 Permissions UI (at /admin/people/permissions).

Registration Block

A block appears in the content region of the only by default. However, this may be managed by configuring the block in the Drupal Blocks UI (admin/stucture/blocks).

Drush command

The Drush command that will print a list of registered students is:

drush reg-student-list

abbreviated as:

drush rsl

Run this command from the site root directory.

Drupal Coding Standards

This module complies to Drupal coding standards and naming conventions using PHPCS and Drupal's sniffs.

Styling

This module has minimal styling and works well with the base 'Bartik' theme. However, the style may be customized by adding CSS/SASS/LESS to your custom theme.
