Datetime & Ticket confusion..

OK – I’m getting a handle on EE4 as this is the first time using it. I’m having some difficulty trying to relate Datetimes & tickets for what I need to do.

We have a fall homeschool co-op that’s one day a week. Classes are offered throughout the day and teachers are paid directly at the first class. The only payment required at registration is the registration fee – which I presume would be a required ticket.

I think I understand the tickets part – each class would be a free ticket. Maybe in the class names I could add the period and the price but have the tickets be free.

I’m not sure how the datetime relates, or if it does at all. How do people handle it if they have a one day conference with session registrations? That sounds like the most similar use-case.

Additionally, can questions be added per ticket? And if someone wants to register two tickets for a class is that possible?

And I guess multiple attendees would be needed but there’s no documention on how it works :/

Hi,

I would say for your use case, just the one default datetime is sufficient. You could have multiple, but I think the one date time, and capacity per ticket would be more suitable for you.

Currently questions per ticket is not an available feature.

Regarding multiple attendees, when editing the event, set the “Maximum number of tickets allowed per order for this event:” option (right hand side) to the number you desire. This will allow up to that number of tickets to be bought in one registration.

Please note that every ticket is counted as a separate registration.

Ah – if every ticket is a separate registration then that may fulfill our needs because I can customize the questions for the additional registrants.

Can the word ‘ticket’ be changed on the reg form (aside from using javascript? Or is it possible to add help text above the reg form?

Hello, questions per ticket option are not currently available as questions are assigned to an event on a per-event basis. You could ask for different information from the primary registrant (first person registering) than the additional registrants by enabling different question groups for each.

Here is an example of how to change the messaging for “ticket” to something else:

Thanks, that is super-helpful.

I’m trying to replace the $0.00 with something else (or removing it entirely). CSS has been tough as we do have a paid ticket first and neither the :first-child or :first-of-type selectors are working.

The gist also doesn’t work for trying to change $0.00 to something. What do y’all suggest? Our reg page is here.

If your first ticket is always the Registration fee you can use something like this:

tr.tckt-slctr-tbl-tr:not(:first-of-type) .tckt-slctr-tbl-td-price {
  display: none;
}

Which removes the price field from all but the first ticket, like this – http://take.ms/FmxcM

Does that help?

It put me on the right track. The display:none made all of the tds disappear, shifting the ticket quantity column left, which made things confusing. But changing display:none to opacity: 0 did the trick ๐Ÿ™‚

Great!

Nice touch with the opacity, I’m glad the selector worked.

Let us know if you have any further questions ๐Ÿ™‚
