Manually confirm free bookings

[Laurent van Dommelen]

Hi Stephen,

Just bought the plugin and must say that I really like it! One thing I’m not able to figure out though, is how I can prevent the free (€0) bookings to automatically confirm. I want to be able to confirm that someone is allowed to attend.

Is this a setting in the UI I overlooked? Or do you have any ideas on how this can be done using code?

Hi Laurent,

Glad you like the plug-in! There’s no UI setting you’ve over-looked, that’s just default behaviour.

You can change that with the following snippet:

add_action( 'eventorganiser_pre_gateway_booking', 'my_dont_autoconfirm_free_bookings', 9999 );
function my_dont_autoconfirm_free_bookings( $booking_id ){

    $total_price = eo_get_booking_meta( $booking_id, 'booking_amount' );
    if ( 0 == $total_price ) {

        //Redirect to 'thank you page' - you can change $redirect_id as required here:
        $redirect_id = (int) eventorganiser_pro_get_option( 'booking_redirect' );
        $redirect = get_permalink( $redirect_id );

        wp_redirect( esc_url_raw( $redirect ) );
        exit();
    }

}

(that should go in a site utility plug-in: http://wp-event-organiser.com/blog/tutorial/where-should-i-put-code-from-the-tutorials/)

Thank you sir, so quick, so accurate. Perfect! Keep up the good work.

Hi Stephen,

the code snippet works not proper in my situation.
It is placed in a site utility plugin and activated.
After the activation i get a blank page after submitting a booking request.

I would like to redircet the user to the event page.

I hope you can help me! Thanks!

Hi Tobias,

Sounds like there’s some sort of fatal error. What do your error logs say? (Or turn on WP_DEBUG, and it should print it to the screen).

Hi Stephen,

I enabled the WP_DEBUG, but no error log are created. I get an empty html responste with an emty body tag. Is there something I need to change for the redirect_id?

    $redirect_id = (int) eventorganiser_pro_get_option( 'booking_redirect' );
    $redirect = get_permalink( $redirect_id );

    wp_redirect( esc_url_raw( $redirect ) );
    exit();

Assuming $redirect_id is the ID of a page/post, then I don’t see anything wrong with that. What you’ve posted is fine, so I can’t really advise on why you’re getting a white screen.

Hi Stephen,
I hope you are well! The code doesn’t work for me either. Appointments with a cost of zero euros are automatically set to Confirmed. I haven’t changed anything in your code because the redirect should be taken from the plugin settings. I can’t see any logic in the function to prevent the automatic confirmation either, except for the redirect. Is that right? Thank you for your help!
