Search Results for 'booking form'

Noted :). I’ll be planning 1.6 after Christmas (I’ve already got a lot of ideas / improvements on the “roadmap” ).

Presumably when creating a booking you’ll also want to fill in the custom booking forms?

Hi Stephen,

I have three feature requests. As usual, apologies if these features already exist, but I couldn’t find any mention of them anywhere.

1. Custom CSV bookings export – my client has added a number of custom fields to his booking form. Ideally he’d like to be able to have all these fields included in the booking CSV export so that he has a one-sheet roster. I think I’ll be able to customise the current CSV export tool to do this, but a general solution would be very nice. Even if it was just a single selector for ‘include all custom fields’
2. ‘Cancelled’ view in bookings screen – the bookings screen currently has filters for All | Confirmed | Pending. A fourth option, ‘cancelled’, would be very useful as my client has cancelled a number of bookings by accident and currently has no way to retrieve them.
3. ‘My bookings’ portal – this is potentially a much bigger piece of work, but would be very useful. Currently the customer has no way to go back to a booking and manage it, including viewing the details and, most importantly, adding payment to a booking that hasn’t already been paid for.

Whew!

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi JB,

The booking button text and booking title can set per booking form via the booking form’s settings. Go to Settings > Booking Form and then click the ‘settings’ filter.

Hi Beth,

Bookee information should be included in the email to the admin. (There’s a bug with respect to guest bookees, which results in the bookee section being displayed but the details not – this has been fixed in 1.5, currently in beta).

Thee bookee section should appear between the list of tickets contained in the booking and the ‘view the booking here’ link.

Hi Stephen,

We upgraded the free version to 2.6.2 from the previous version. We lost the settings in the booking form and the error happens when we try to save the settings again. I am not convinced it is a causal relationship between the upgrade and losing settings.

I have tried deactivating and reactivating the plugin. Then I deleted and re-installed with no luck.

If you can tell me where in phpmyadmin to make the change, I can do that. This site is a mess — stapled on over the years by multiple employees and I don’t want you to have to sort through it.

We are replacing RSVPMaker with EO Pro. RSVP Maker has been deactivated, but not deleted, yet. RSVP Maker had similar issues where things would work and then all of a sudden break. This is our only site with issues like this–it has gremlins and probably needs to be rebuilt from scratch.

We had this setup and running beautifully–no modifications to files. The last successful registration was around 6pm EST December 5. No one can register today. I went back in and the Bookings had been reset to sandbox mode and the PayPal address removed. We did upgrade the Event Organiser plugin, but after reports of errors started coming in. I went to change to Live and add the PayPal address and this is the error I receive:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/hmastd/public_html/wp-content/plugins/event-organiser-pro/admin/settings.php on line 368

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/hmastd/public_html/wp-content/plugins/event-organiser-pro/admin/settings.php:368) in /home/hmastd/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 899

Any ideas?

It’s a little bit irritating having to scrolls down to the Settings menu.

This to me suggests that a setting(s) may have been miss-placed as part of the settings rather than the page itself should be moved. Which settings are requiring regular updating, they maybe in the wrong place? I can think of at least two instances of this myself (and they need to be addressed – and will be)

• Import / Export
• Booking forms (probably)

Certainly the import/export stuff is in the wrong place, it’s not really a setting. It could go under Events, but in my opinion it would make most sense for it to be placed next to WordPress’ other import / export tools: namely the Tools section.

---

(Here’s my reasoning for having the settings in the settings section:) settings pages are typically visited only once or twice when the site is set up – rarely do they require regular visits or contain options which change in the day-to-day managing of events. Rather than having the settings link cluttering up the Events section – once set up, they can be largely ignored. Less clutter makes it easier to focus on every-day tasks.

I realise a lot of plug-ins add settings underneath a plug-in added menu, but I think this is wrong (I wrote an article about WordPress UI here and touched on this). In short a better UI is to be task focussed rather than plug-in focussed: the overall goal is to have the plug-in bleed so much into WordPress’ admin that it’s as if WordPress included it by default.

With regards to adding an setting, I think adding an option to move the settings page is probably an option too far – and isn’t as easily done when you consider backwards compatibility, and dependency of extensions.

Hi Morten,

we need some kind of calendar plugin on which the wordpress-members can assign to a specific job (like: i’m coming / I cannot come etc)

I may have misunderstood the question but are you after a feature will allows users to quickly register the fact that their attending? If so you can allow users to register their attendance, but there’s no feature to register the fact that they are not attending.

To allow user to ‘register their attendance’ you can simply create an event with one ticket (free or paid) – and then users can register their attendance by booking a ticket. ( “Simple Booking Mode” simplifies the booking form somewhat and restricts the user to booking only one ticket at a time) ,

If you wanted something more like Facebook’s invitations, accept/decline model (which isn’t included by Pro) – I’m aware of someone who has used Pro, along with bbPress to achieve something just like that. If that seems like a too much coding, I could put you in touch with them, they might be free to do some freelance work for you.

Hi Andrew,

Doesn’t sound like a configuration error: if SBM is enabled and there is exactly one ticket available the ticket selection will be hidden and the available ticket selected with quantity one. But I’ve not been able to replicate the bug either. Are you able to provide a link to the site in question (if privacy is required/desired feel free to use the contact form).

Have you added any custom code to the site – I ask because the forum did contain a buggy code-snippet (since corrected), which caused issues with booking validations.

Hi Joe,

There is an update due shortly (1.5) which will allow non-admins to manage bookings for their events (provided they have been given the permission to do so). Admins, will of course, be able to manage all bookings. In this way if each venue has a specific user ‘managing’ that venue, then you can ensure that user is the ‘organiser’ of any event occurring at that venue (there is no UI for this, but it’s possible to achieve with a little code¹). Then that user could manage bookings for those events which occur at their venue.

You would need to associate each venue with a user (which you could do via the venue custom fields or something a bit more bespoke for better usability).

The only slight hitch is that bookings will still be viewable by other users (who can manage bookings): it’s very much like posts which a user cannot edit. Specifically a post which an ‘author’ has not created will not be able to edit the post, but it will appear in the admin list.

The user managing bookings can of course filter the bookings list by event if they wish.

A future release may seek to address, but the reason that “others’ bookings” are not automatically hidden is due to performance considerations (and the fact that its not been a widely requested feature).

I hope that helps

1. I’d be happy to provide this ↩

Yeah, I did wonder what the theme was doing there :/

That works well, Thanks!

There isn’t an option, but there’s the eo-ticket-picker.php. Simply copy that into your theme and edit it there.
