Can no longer manually update payment status

I don’t seem to be able to manually update payment status since the last update. I often add “helpers” to our events but mark them as incomplete so that they do not take up any places. I don’t seem to be able to do this anymore. I change it but it does not save.

and when I try to scan QR code with Ipad it says Declined, but the customer payment in the system is marked as complete (Ipad attendee info says Payment status “blank”).

I have the versions up to date.

@mpurse What version of Event Espresso are you using? This may have been resolved in 3.1.31.1.

@Ales If an attendee has already been checked in, the QR code scan will result in a Declined status because that attendee has already been scanned. Can you check to see if this is the case?

Version: 3.1.31.1

It only started happening after this update for us.

no, the attendee was not checked in (scanned).

Are you on a translated site?

yes, I have it translated in Czech language (www.ales-kalina.cz)

The problem is in includes/admin-reports/enter_attendee_payments.php starting at line 89. The payment status strings are being translated before they are inserted into the db. It should be instead:

    if ( $new_payment == $total_owing ) {
                    $upd_payment_status = 'Completed';
                } elseif ( $new_payment < $total_owing ) {
                    $upd_payment_status = 'Pending';
                } elseif ( $new_payment > $total_owing ) {
                    $upd_payment_status = 'Refund';
                }

Should we overwrite this manually?


mpurse

Sorry, that still didn’t fix it. To be clear we are talking about the same thing:

  1. I added an attendee manually – automatically goes to ‘completed’ which is normal.

  2. I want to change payment status to incomplete (so that do not take up a space on the event).

This used to be possible and now I cannot update the payment status.

Same issue here, latest version, not translated.

I’m wanting to change the payment status of an attendee added manually, I can select a different status in the drop down menu, but it reverts to original status after a save. I also cannot change the amounts.

Screenshot here to explain what I’m seeing: http://awesomescreenshot.com/078158091e

The fix from Sidney works for me when adding payments. Selecting a different Payment status does not work, but i am not sure if this is intentional and working as meant!

RE: your screenshot:

The fields outlined in green cannot be changed. You can enter a negative number in the field just below them though. This will change the payment status to pending.

I’ve created a ticket for the developers to look into on the possibility of making it let you set it to “incomplete”.

You’re welcome.

Did this get discussed with your developers? Any resolution? We were certainly able to do this until the most recent upgrade. I use it to add “helpers” to events so they get reminders but don’t block up spaces on our small workshops.

Thanks.

Hi mpurse,

Yes they fixed it and the fix is in 3.1.32 beta which you can test if you’d like. The beta release is in the pre-release channel that you can opt in to from your account page.

Thanks Josh. Will it be in a main/stable release soon? I’m too much of a scaredy-cat to play with beta on the site. ๐Ÿ™‚

Yes, 3.1.32.P will be live soon.

I upgraded toย 3.1.32.P but this problem was not fixed. ๐Ÿ™

I’m getting quite desperate now because if I add someone into the attendees list manually, then are automatically confirmed and I can’t change their payment status – which means I can’t send a payment reminder.

Hi there,

Did you try adding a negative amount to the field that says “Enter New Payment Amount” ?

When I add a negative amount to this field, and update the payment, it automatically sets the payment status to “Pending”.


mpurse

May 6, 2013 at 2:03 pm

I just did that and yes it works. But “Pending” still counts towards the attendee limit, which is the problem. I want to be able to add tutors and helpers to receive reminders but not count towards the attendee limit.

I just want to be able to do what I could do with it up until about a month ago. ๐Ÿ™

Once it’s set to pending, you can change the payment status to incomplete by using the selector to change the payment status to “Incomplete”, then click “Update Payment”.

OK, that worked thanks! Bit laborious, but it does what I need so he ho!
