Alternate Registration URL not Working

Running wp 3.5.1 and EE 3.1.32.1P Recurring Events 1.1.7 Calendar 2.0.5.1

Utilizing the templates for recurring manager – no other template files moved to the uploads/eventespresso folder

On event found here http://jfwebdesign.com/ann_dev/rchs/?page_id=300

I have entered an alternate registration URL of https://co.clickandpledge.com/sp/d1/default.aspx?wid=47883 on the first event June 24 I have show registration page set to no – and no registration is available anywhere.  On event July 1 I have the same alternate registration URL and show registration page is set to yes.  It takes you through the registration process but does not offer a link or take you to the alternate registration URL…

What am I missing?

Thanks

Hello Ann,

You should have the Event Options set like this: https://docs.google.com/a/eventespresso.com/file/d/0B7nCncdM3MStdFlhVFJNQjFnRmM/edit?usp=drive_web

Is this how you have it set? Of course, you can set the limits as you wish.

Hi Jonathan,

As indicated in my initial post – The event linked above is recurring – the first event in that series is set up to NOT show registration form with an outside link for registration.

As a test I set up the second one to SHOW registration form with the outside link

Neither works – I get NO registration form in the first instance and the default EE behavior on the second.

I did another test on a non-recurring event – no difference.

So the short answer – my event is set up exactly as the link sent over – and it does not work – very frustrating!

Hi Ann,

I am so sorry to hear that you’re having troubles with the Alt. registration URL. Can you check your copy of the recurring event_list.php template and verify that this code is present around line 226?

//This can be used in place of the registration link if you are using the external URL feature
$registration_url = $externalURL != '' ? $externalURL : espresso_reg_url($event_id);

at line 106 in recurring events event-list display reads:

//This can be used in place of the registration link if you are usign the external URL feature
$registration_url = $externalURL != ” ? $externalURL : get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/?page_id=’.$event_page_id.’&e_reg=register&event_id=’. $event_id . ‘&name_of_event=’ . stripslashes_deep($event_name);

I replaced with the snipped in your response – there was no change in behavior.  I’m sorry I’m having problems too;-)

Running recurring version 1.7 – will try a ‘fresh’ copy of the event-list and event-list-display templates to see if I wonked one of ’em up somehow.

Thanks

Changing out the files for fresh copies in the recurring templates did the trick.  Ran a diff on the two files it was in line 53 of event-list-display.php

echo event_date_display($e[‘start_date’], ‘F j, Y’).’–’.event_date_display($e[‘end_date’], ‘F j, Y’);

But I can’t tell what those crazy characters are…  but they were different in the file that was not behaving properly.

So works now.  YAY

Thanks for your input!
