Search Results for 'booking form'

Hi,

i have the pro-version and set up a custom form (example here: http://dev.ml-trainings.de/termine/salesleaders-2/).
But with the custom form I always get errors that i should fill in all mandatory fields and that the tickets are not available. – both wrong.
Any ideas?

Furthermore I am really unhappy with the division of the first name, last name and email – but i think there is no chance to have a neat coherent form before version 1.8.

What I cannot understand absolutely though – why is the last name not mandatory? It really should be and I have to have the last name filled in – otherwise how should you handle invoicing?

A lot of questions – I hope you can help.

Thanks.
Edith

Hi Robin,

I’m afraid I’m not familiar another with EventBrite to offer a meaningful comparison. But you are right in that Event Organiser does not currently offer “conditional logic”. This is currently being beta-tested and will be included in the major release after next (1.9, 1.8 is in beta and to be rolled out in the coming weeks).

However, since bookings forms can be re-used across different events, at first at least, the conditional logic won’t be available with respect to ticket selection.

If you have any questions about what Event Organiser can do, or whether it will your needs I’d be happy to do so.

Hi,

Can you please list the capabilities/features this plugin “cannot do” that EventBrite can (specifically regarding Booking Form design & management)

We are not interested in the payments aspect specifically, just the Booking Form comparison.

I think I have spotted one thing straight-away by using your demo site

Events Organiser cannot do ‘conditional fields’ depending on ticket type, e.g different questions for different ticket type. True/False ?

Is there anything else? Can you confirm what features are under development

Thanks
Robin

It has been added into my theme’s functions.php file.

is there a good way of allowing you access to this to see or any indications of what i may be doing wrong?

I am using the regular booking form, however there are additional fields added to the form

Hi Johnny,

If you’re using the default booking form template, then that shouldn’t happen. In general the form will only appear if there are tickets available. Are you perhaps using a custom booking for template?

[Jonny Sams]

Hi,

Thanks for that…. It nearly works, however, adding this causes the booking form to reappear on the page, so we get a thank you message and then the booking form.

Is there any way of just displaying a thank you message on the confirmation and hiding the booking form to avoid confusion?

thanks again

[Stephen Harris]

Yes you can.

Disabling the default booking form
To prevent the booking form from being automatically added to the event page, see this page.

Displaying the form on page

If you know the event ID (I know this doesn’t apply to you, but I’m including it for others). The simpliest thing to do is create a page and use the shortcode has demonstrated on this page.

Otherwise, if you not know a priori the event ID, then instead create a page template with the following:

$event_id = get_query_var( 'event_id' ); 
echo eo_get_booking_form( $event_id );

wherever you want the form to go. You can change the query variable event_id to whatever you like (but it shouldn’t clash with an existing query variable). Next register the query variable:

function my_register_event_id_query_var( $qvars ){
    $qvars[] = 'event_id';
    return $qvars;
}
add_filter('query_vars', 'my_register_event_id_query_var' );  

This can go in your theme’s functions.php but should go in a dedicated plug-in (for portability sake). Now if you got to [page-url]/?event_id[event-ID] you’ll see the appropriate booking form.

Pretty permalinks (Optional)
Lastly we can add a rewrite rule so we can use a ‘pretty’ url. As before this should go in a dedicated plug-in. You’ll need to specify the (fully) page slug used, and the page ID. If you’ve changed the query variable from event_id, you’ll need to change it here also:

function my_booking_page_rewrite_rule(){
    $page_slug = 'booking';
    $page_id = 2531;
    add_rewrite_rule(
        '^'.$page_slug.'/event_id/(\d*)?',
        'index.php?page_id='.$page_id.'=&event_id=$matches[1]',
        'top'
    );
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_booking_page_rewrite_rule' );

Lastly go to Settings > Permalinks and click “Save Changes”. Now you’ll find [page-url]/event_id/[event-id] takes you to the booking page.

Note: by default users will be redirected back to the booking form with an appropriate message. When using a dedicated booking page (using the template) that unfortunately won’t work. But you can set up a second page as a dedicated confirmation page: http://wp-event-organiser.com/forums/topic/dedicated-bookings-landingpage-possible/.

Hi Stephen,

I know I’ve just done some work on getting the booking form into a sidebar, but it occurs to me that I might want to move the booking form (as it’s getting a little on the large side) to a separate page altogether. Would this be possible? Is there an example I could follow? I assume it would involve passing params to the generic booking page so that the correct course and date is pre-selected…

Any advice appreciated.

Hi Gary,

If none of the tickets have a price, then the plug-in will automatically suppress the gateway selection part of the booking form. Is that what you mean?

[Stephen Harris]

Hi Sam,

Sorry, this one slipped the radar. Unfortunately there is no hook for editing the booking form column details, but the bookee’s name is their display name (for logged-in users, this is the display name as set in their profile). There is a filter for editing this:

eventorganiser_get_booking_meta_bookee_display_name

Which passes the bookee’s display name and the booking ID. For example:

add_filter( 'eventorganiser_get_booking_meta_bookee_display_name', 'my_bookee_display_name', 10, 2 );
function my_bookee_display_name( $display_name, $booking_id ){
     // Change $display_name as required
     // $bookee_id = eo_get_booking_meta( $booking_id, 'bookee' ); //User ID, 0 if its a guest booking
      return $display_name;
}

Hello,
I have added custom fields in my event information for fields like “what to bring to the event” using the custom fields plugin. I would like to add the data from these fields into my booking email. Is this possible?

Thans for your software. As a Pro-licence user I have a question. In my forms (e.g. on http://www.bijlouise.nl/keuringen/keuring/week-34-vr-22-aug/ ) I ask people to fill in some details.
How can I include the filled in detailes (e.g. the place number on the camping, it has ID=18 in my form) in the email template?
I see that I can edit the email in the bottom on /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=event-settings&tab=bookings , but can’t figure out how to include the field with ID=18

Dutch greets, Marnix

Hi Jody,

You need to use the event ID not the booking form ID.

More.details can be found here: http://docs.wp-event-organiser.com/shortcodes/booking-for/.

Hi All

Can you please give me some more information about this shortcode.

I really want my bookings to appear on some pages outside of the Event posts, I tried adding the shortcode but nothing happens on the pages with the code.

I am getting the ID from the booking form section in the settings. eg one is 2199..
