Booking Conditional Logik

[Christoph Steinlechner]

Hey I have a special question.

I have very much events.
Sometimes I need this feature:
If I book event A also event B should automatic booked?

Maybe with categories? If one Event of category XY is booked the other events of this category is also booked …

How can we set up this?

I have a developer so for advice to realize this would be great.

Hi Christoph,

What you can do is hook into eventorganiser_transition_booking_status this fires whenever a booking changes status:

 add_action( 'eventorganiser_transition_booking_status', function( $new_status, $old_status, $booking) {
       //Check if $new_status is confirmed
       if('confirmed' !== $new_status) {
           return;
       }
       //Current booking details:
       $event_id = eo_get_booking_meta( $booking->ID, 'event_id', true );
       $occurrence_id = eo_get_booking_meta( $booking->ID, 'occurrence_id', true );

       //Create  a new booking:
       $new_booking = array(
           'booking_user' => eo_get_booking_meta($booking->ID, 'bookee', true),
           'booking_status' => 'confirmed',
           'event_id' => 123, 
           'occurrence_id' => 456,
           'ticketinstances'=> array(
               13 => 1, //1 ticket of type ID 13
           ),
       );
       $new_booking_id = eo_insert_booking( $new_booking );

  },10, 3);

The above is just a suggestion, and isn’t by itself a workable solution. There’s a few things to be aware of:

• Infinite loops (in the above a new confirmed booking is created anytime a booking is confirmed…), you should check for this. Presumably, if the booking is for event B, you wouldn’t create a new booking
  • The above is hooked into booking status changes. An admin could mark a confirmed booking as pending, and then confirm it again. You’ll want to have some sort of check in place that this doesn’t create a second booking for event B.

If you have any follow up questions, please just let me know.
