Hello,

I have created an event with 2 datetimes.
When booking the event via the front end, You can’t book select which time to book.

E.G

Event name
Times – 9.30am – 12.30pm
– 2:30pm – 5:30pm

There is no option to select which time to book.

Is this possible in EE4? I believe it maybe possible in EE3.

Thanks

Hi Ricky,

It is possible in both EE3 and EE4, though EE4 handles it much better.

In EE3 you can add multiple time slots to an event, which will appear in a drop down list. It is also possible to set a capacity on time slots, but it will only work for single registrations, not group bookings, so you would have to take that into account.

EE4 uses datetimes much more effectively, so you can add one or more tickets to each date time. You can limit capacity by date time or ticket or both.

Dean,

Thanks for getting back so quickly.

I am still having a little trouble setting this up using EE4.
If on the front end, you can select the quantity of tickets to purchase but can’t select which time.

I’ve created a test event.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Ricky,

In this situation, you would actually need 6 tickets, so an Adult ticket attached to the first datetime, and and Adult ticket assigned to the second datetime, and so on.

Dean,

Ok thank you.
I think I read about duplicating an event is a feature that is coming to EE4.

Is this the case? If so how far is it away?

Thanks

Hi there Ricky,

The duplicate feature is part of 4.3 which is currently in the prerelease channel. We are currently testing this version internally on different systems.
