Date Picker on Registration Page?

Hi –

My client has requested a display change that I know will require some shuffling of code if it’s possible, but I’m unsure how I might make it happen. These are exclusively recurring events. I’ve spent the last several days getting the recurring dropdown menu to work properly and now the display request from the client may obviate that. 🙂

Ultimately, I’d like the recurring event dropdown table to not display the dates. Instead, I want that “select a date” button to simply open the first event instance (the event full description/registration page) and then on that reservation page, I want a date picker to select the date.

Possible?

Thanks!
Deborah

Hi Joy,

I am pretty sure it can be done, with a little programming. I have seen this type of thing on one or two of our customer’s websites in the past. I tried to reach out to them, to see how they did it, I but haven’t heard back.

Thanks, Seth. My clients are registering exclusively on the backend for the immediate future, but if possible, it would be best to get everything in place now. (This site is not live yet.)

Until you hear back or until a solution is found otherwise, I would still like to use, if possible the recurring dropdown and eliminate the dates and just have it pull the first event instance. (Forgetting about the datepicker on the reg. page for now.)

If I have to create that manually, I will, but is that portion something you could help me with now? Basically, how to turn the datepicker button into a button that just pulls up the event.

Thanks!
Debbie

I don’t think we have the bandwidth to do this right now. We are really trying to get the next MAJOR version out for beta testing next month.

One of our “pros” may be able to help:

I made a custom plugin of the drop down plugin, so I tweaked the code around and now the button does what I want. I’ll see about tackling the other part of it as well, but I have a more pressing problem regarding multiple event reg for which I’ll open a new ticket.

Thanks again.
