Examples

This article gives several examples of how to correctly create an activity. In some examples, there is a difference between ‘users’ and ‘non-users’. Users are persons who can login to the website, such as members of the community. Non-users are persons who cannot login, such as external visitors. In the examples, there is also a difference between paid and free activities.

Free activities

Example 1: Activity without registration
Example 2: Activity with private registration for users
Example 3: Activity with private extensive registration for users
Example 4: Activity with public registration
Example 5: Activity with private registration for users and public registration for non-users

Paid activities

Example 6: Activity with paid registration for users
Example 7: Activity with public paid registration.
