Does EE offer Paypal refund?

I understand that a registered user can purchase an event through Paypal, but does EE offer the feature wherein a user cancels one of their events and gets a refund directly from Paypal?

If not, what should the process be? At the moment, admins don’t get an email when someone cancels an event.

Please help!

Thanks,

-Tam

Hi Tam,

Event Espresso does not issue refunds through any of the gateways we support. This would need to be issued manually by the event manager.

Regarding no admin email’s on user cancellation, we have a ticket for this so I will add this thread to it and see what options are currently available.

If I were to modify this, would it be in the my_events_page.php file of the member plugin?

Yes. I whipped up a snippet to add in the cancellation email:

Also, as a note, this was added as a feature into the next version of the members add-on (1.9.8). The attendee won’t be deleted from the DB, instead, their status is changed to “cancelled”.

So I finally had a chance to test this newly added function, and it seems to kinda break…

Here’s the error:

<code>My Events Management
Fatal error: Call to undefined function espresso_prepare_email_data() in /var/www/vhosts/fstoppersworkshops.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/espresso-members/my_events_page.php on line 27</code>

When I commented out that line, this is the error I got:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function event_espresso_send_email() in /var/www/vhosts/fstoppersworkshops.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/espresso-members/my_events_page.php on line 28

Hi Tam,

Can you go to Event Espresso -> System Status.
Look for ‘Server Configuration’ and then find ‘WP Memory Limit’
What value is this set at currently?

Here’s my PHP status:

<code>PHP Version	5.3.3
Server Software	Apache
WP Max Upload Size	8MB
Server upload_max_filesize	128MB
Server post_max_size	8MB
WP Memory Limit	96MB
WP Debug Mode	No
Espresso Logging	Log directory is writable.</code>

That’s really strange. It seems like it’s not loading the email.php function file when it loads the my_events page. Try putting this line in before that first line, the “while” line:

require_once(EVENT_ESPRESSO_PLUGINFULLPATH . "includes/functions/email.php");

Sidney,

I haven’t tried that last method with the require_once, but my client has made a decision to not have the option for subscribers to cancel their event. I guess we can close this ticket for now.

Thank you!
