multiple day events

[cinzia rascazzo]

I need to sell one week events.
How do I show them as a one week events (with initial day and ending day only)?
something like: April 5th-April 12th
and also how do i make people book for the whole one week event?

sorry let me rephrase my question.

I sell one week courses, that take place 2 or 3 times a month from April till November.

1) In the upcoming dates section, I would need to show the events as a week in the following way:
April 5-11
April 19-25
May 3-9
May 17-23
June 7-13
etc
I tried to set up events as series…..but it does not work…..as i would need to upload hundreds of one week pages for each one week event.

2) IN the booking calendar area, when people book a one week course, for example the one that starts on April 5th, i would like people to see highlighted all the following 6 days that are included in that course.
At the moment, people can select each single day of that course….so for example the 6th or the 7th.
This does not work, because people must attend the whole one week program and they cannot book by day.

doing with the series option does not work, because it removes the calendar completely….and so people cannot see on which weeks this course is available throughout the year.
so my question is how do i highlight on the calendar the 7 days that are included in one course?.
thank you

Hi Cinzia,

You’re correct in thinking that you would need to sell tickets by “occurrence” rather than series. In this case you would have the event start on the 5th April and end on the 11th and repeat every two weeks. That is each bookable week is a single occurrence

You can change the format in which the occurrences are displayed by editing event-meta-single-event.php (see source). By default only the start date is included, but you can include in the end date too.

At the moment, people can select each single day of that course….

When selling tickets by occurrence, the user selects the start date of the occurrence. So if set up as above, by selecting 5th April, would meant the occurrence 5th-12th April. Unfortunately there it is not possible to highlight the entire week. Alternatively you can edit the eo-ticket-picker.php template to use a drop-down with dates formatted as desired. (The select field must have ID eo_occurrence_picker_select and name eventorganiser[booking][occurrence_id]. The values of the options must be the occurrence ID).
