Problem: We need to create a series of events with a booking form for each event that allow the possibility to have a maximum number of people and close the booking until that number is reached. The user data shall be stored somewhere to be used and exported by our client.

Solution: This is a complex process that cannot be addressed sufficiently in one ticket. The following steps must be investigated:
- It sounds like you need an Event custom post type, so you should explore how to create an Event custom post type that captures all the necessary event information.
- It sounds like you need allow Users to associate themselves with any Event, so you should explore how to associate Users with a custom post type using CRED. One way to do this is to use a repeating custom field that stores the User ID of each User associated with the Event.
- It sounds like you need to stop Users associating themselves with an Event based on the number of other Users associated with the Event, so you should explore how to use the cred_form_validate API to validate form submissions based User associations.
- It sounds like you need to be able to export data from the system. Toolset isn't designed to export data, but Views is designed to display formatted lists of data. So if copy+pasting from a View is sufficient, this might be feasible. Otherwise, you'll need to look for other 3rd-party tools to generate export files.
