Any idea when discount codes will be available in EE4? I need to be able to give away tickets easily and in EE3, the easiest way was discount codes. Any updates would be appreciated.

Hi AJ,
A couple questions:
– Are you trying to give away *any* ticket or just a certain type of ticket?
– Are your attendees members of your website (do they have a WordPress User profile)?
Discount codes are in progress. If you want to participate in some early testing, I can give you access via GitHub.

Garth,
-Any type. It was a function that we really miss from EE3.
-No, we don’t have a single person that is a member of our site. EE is what we use instead of smithtix or ticketmaster.
Ideally, I would use these discount codes to help our sponsors give away tickets.

@AJ – I’d love to help test, if possible. We really need discount codes to work, hoping by 5/1.

@mclanea you have been sent an invite to the Promotions private repo. See the read-me file.

Got it, thanks. I’m dropping this into staging right now. If it’s stable, we’ll push it live.

@garth Here’s the error when I activated it in staging –
“The Event Espresso “Promotions” addon could not be activated because it requires Event Espresso Core version “4.7.0.rc.000” or higher in order to run.
Your version of Event Espresso Core is currently at “4.6.23.p.000”. Please upgrade Event Espresso Core first and then re-attempt activating “Promotions”.”
Where can I get 4.7+?

Hi, it requires a specific version of the Event Espresso core plugin since there were a variety of changes needed to support the upcoming promotions add-on.
Please try:
FET-3456-promotions-spco branch

There are special instructions to use a branch of EE4 core:
Currently the Promotions addon requires the Event Espresso core FET-3456-spco-promotions branch in order to operate.
The FET-3456-spco-promotions branch can be found at: https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core/tree/FET-3456-spco-promotions
Once it is released, it will function with whatever the latest core version of Event Espresso is at that time.
Did that help?

@garth / @lorenzo orlando – Yes, it is working. I deactivated my current EE install and installed the one linked above.
Here’s a screenshot. (Highlighted a suggested text change)

The promo code works fine. I think I’d have to add some copy explaining that discount codes wouldn’t get added until the very last page, I can see my customers being confused by that. (Not a deal break, I’ll just need some explanatory copy)

Yes, those will be cleaned up. If you discover any additional issues, just reply here and we’ll check into them.
Thanks again!

@Lorenzo – Do you think this is stable enough to push into production?

@mclanea
Both the the promotions branch and the promotions add-on have not been fully tested. Thus, we can not recommend that it be used on a live site. If we were confident promotions was “production ready” we would have released an official version. If you use it on a live site, you do so at your own risk.

@garth – Gotcha. Well, registration for this event opens on 5/1. So it’d be great if there were a production version of this I could buy by then.

Hi mclanea,
We understand the wait is tough. We are working hard on testing, but we can’t make any promises when it will be available.
