Display FES booking form

[Frank Herget]

Call me blind, but how do i show the booking form I created via FES on a page of my choice?

Thanks
Frank

Hi Frank,

FES is the “Front-end submissions” for events. So I unless I’ve misunderstood you, you mean the booking form customiser.

There’s a shortcode for displaying the booking form for an event, see this page: http://docs.wp-event-organiser.com/shortcodes/booking-form/ for details. (And also how to hide the booking for from the event page).

Hi Stephen,

thanks – yet, I really needed the possibility to show the event submission form, not the booking form. I’ve installed and activated the FES plugin, yet it seems I can’t find any info about on how to use it, neither a new page with a event submission form is created nor can I find a shortcode etc to add it to a page. Any quick help?

Thanks Stephen!
all the best

Ah, yes you’ll want the

 [event_submission_form id={ID}]

shortcode. That’s missing from the shortcode documentation currently, but there are details on setting up event submissions here: http://docs.wp-event-organiser.com/event-submissions/

Hi Stephen,
after activating and entering the key, I tried to add some fields to the event submission form. Yet, no matter if I add some or not and click on “save form”, a 500 error pops up. Any ideas what could cause this? You can see a screenshot of the firebug dump at: http://www.artviper.net/eo-fes-error.jpg

Thanks!
all the best

Hi Frank,

If you open your server’s error log – what is the corresponding error message for the 500 error?

Hi Stephen,

yup here it comes: couldn’t perform authentication. AuthType not set! -> I’ve checked for this issue and could get around it by adding a htaccess file to the admin dir with the following contents:

Require all granted
Satisfy Any

Now it works like a charm 😉

cheers
Frank

Great, glad that’s sorted :). Authentication doesn’t need to be performed by Apache – it is all handled by WordPress (which it’s own cookie-based authentication system).
