Create Event for Groupon Redemption

I need to create an event that offers the Groupon code redemption option. I’ve got the Event setup and the Registration page displays. After they register using EE, I need to take them directly to my Membership site registration page. How can I do this?

Thanks,
Maria

Hi Maria,

It might work to add the member registration right onto the Thank You page. That way it will load up the “Thanks for registering for this event” information, followed by the fields to register as a member. Does the WP membership plugin that you are using have a shortcode that allows for this?

Yes, it does. I’ll try that Josh. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it!

Josh –
I added the registration shortcode to the page and it looks great.

However, when I test the process, I’m never taken to the Thank You page.

WP stays on the Event Registration page, and shows the following items in this order:

1. Description. I fill out the EE registration and enter my Groupon voucher code.
2. Verify Registration. EE displays the registration info and asks me to click on Confirm Registration.
3. Payment Overview. I get a registration ID and EE tells me that a confirmation message has been sent to my email.

My Thank You page never appears in that process.

I’ve got it set up as the Return URL in EE General Settings.

So what am I missing here?

In this case, you might need to add your shortcode to the template that displays the Payment overview information. In Event Espresso 3.1.36.p it’s the first part of the /templates/payment_page.php template.

So for example, if you want to make the member registration form display just after the email has been sent message, you’d add this line of code after line 29:

<?php echo do_shortcode( '[MEMBERSHIP_FORM_SHORTCODE_GOES_HERE]' ); ?>
