I'm interested in a sign-up list that I can run on my site. A list that I would have a certain degree of control over false sign ups. So either a key code to sign up, ip logging or more ideally a means of authorizing accounts prior to them signing up.

So basically I need to output this to something like...


[Who wants to go to the Tuesday Picnic?]
1. Jeff
2. Frank
3. Bob
4. Jen
5. Simon
6. Jill
7. OPEN
8. OPEN
9. OPEN
10. OPEN

6 of 10 Signed Up​

This is the closest thing that I have come across. Not exactly what I'm looking for, but on the same path. http://www.mysignup.com
Example: http://www.mysignup.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi?datafile=classsignup

Example 2: This one is even a closer match, in that it requires some sort of user registration. http://www.lanaddict.com/lan/view.php?LANID=2057

If anyone is aware of an open source script or cms/forum plugin that can do just this, please let me know. I may even be interested in people who have the talent to create such a script.
 
I do no know of any scripts or plugins that would do this, but i would think there must be plugins like this for the bigger cms like drupal or Joomla. If your site is already up and running on not using one of these CMS, that may be an issue integrating them.

To make this from scratch, the level of complexity would depend on how detailed you want the user registration to be and if you already have a user DB on your site. Creating a form to collect all the signup info, validate it, add it to the list, and display the list (like the LAN addict example) would be straight forward with PHP/SQL.
 
no auth ahead of time, but if you want something super simple, you can use google docs to make a form. i'm using it for my upcoming mobile conference (shameless plug) in atlanta. http://mobicamp.me to see it
 
That Google docs form is cool...I didnt know about that. How much can you manipulate the information sent in that Google doc form? How does the information submitted through the form integrate with the rest of your site?
