Display Attendees on Public Seating Chart

Is there a any way to display a current chart of ‘who is sitting where’, to allow users to choose their seat accordingly? I would like this added to the ‘hover over’ seat properties if it was occupied.

Is it possible by adding something like ‘html += “Guest: “+jQuery(this).attr(‘attendee???’)+”<br/>”;’ in line 226 of seating_chart.js?

Thanks

Hi Dovid,

It is possible, a customer did something similar on this thread https://eventespresso.com/topic/publicly-display-current-attendees-seating-locations/

I’ve tidied the code up a little and added it here:

https://gist.github.com/Apina/a8db788feb1f3df59925
https://gist.github.com/Apina/56d9e6cfd216c17922ee

These are of course unsupported and should be used as a basis of your own code.

That worked Great! Thanks

Another issue, its fairly urgent, someone just reserved for 5 people, the rsvp’s are viewable with their seats on the admin panel but on the front end seating chart it’s still shows as available. Only the primary attendee’s seat shows as reserved.

Please advise asap as registration is open i dont’t want people to double book the same seat.

Thanks

Hi Dovid,

Can you test the chart functionality with an un-modified version of Event Espresso’s seating chart to see if the same issue happens with group registrations?

On the test event it seams to be working fine.
see http://kosherpoultry.ca/event-registration/?ee=1

What in the code would trigger it off?

I updated the files to the original unedited but still not working.

Now something very strange happened, I deleted 2 sample event that I had setup but now, on the active event, if i ‘add attendee’, the ‘select your seat’ does not show up.

Also, just before deleting the events, I took 2 screen shots, the first is the primary attendee popup, the second it he second attendee popup. Note that the second has a different title.

When I link to the event like below the seating map shows for all attendees. http://events.creativesls.com/event-registration/?ee=3

Hi,

To clarify, did you revert the plugin to the original unaltered version?

I’ve confirmed that their are no issues with group booking son the original version so I must conclude there is still a modification that is causing an issue.

The code outlined above is only a basis and one that a customer created. It may not be suitable for multiple bookings without further work. We have a list of recommended developers should you wish to expand upon the code: https://eventespresso.com/developers/event-espresso-pros/

I did revert it to the unaltered version but that didn’t make a difference. But on another install (for testing) it worked fine.

Test install http://kosherpoultry.ca/event-registration/?ee=1

Thanks for the clarification.

I ran a quick test and it seems fine, group bookings worked ok on your site, at least at the initial selection http://take.ms/NVyo6

It works for the initial selection on the active event as well ( http://events.creativesls.com/event-registration/?ee=3). It even comes through on the back end under attendees. its just missing from the live seating chart.

Hi,

Well I’m not sure then. It might be that the customers code requires further work to make it function correctly. You may need to contact a developer to take this further.
