Hi,

Is there a way to configure the page where the [espresso_checkout] shortcode is?

This is because the event description is not showing in the table.

Thank you.

Hi there,

Do you mean this section? – http://take.ms/aAZ6k

If so I can’t see any easy way to modify that location without modifying the template itself.

Are you are comfortable with PHP/HTML and FTP?

Hi Tony,

Thanks.

Yes it is that section, however more of the “Payment Options” step.

Yes, we are fine with editing the PHP / HTML code.

Please let us know as fast as possible on how to do it, as the project is due today.

You’ll need to edit the template to include that info, grab a copt of the original template from:

event-espresso-core-reg\modules\single_page_checkout\reg_steps\attendee_information\attendee_info_main.template.php

Place that file within the root directory of your theme and add in the event description there.

The $registration object is available within that template so you can use:

$registration->event()->description();

To output the description.

Apologies, I may have mis-read your reply.

The payment options step uses another template:

event-espresso-core-reg\modules\single_page_checkout\reg_steps\payment_options\payment_options_main.template.php

Do you want include the description within the table itself? You’ll need to be careful not to include all of the detail there (depend on how long your details are) ae it will make the table rather long.

Hi Tony,

Thanks! It seems to be working. However, I would need to get it to display properly in the table under that column.

How would I go about it?

Hello,

Could you share a screenshot (https://eventespresso.com/wiki/troubleshooting-checklist/#screenshots) of where you are trying to add this?

I have similar concerns as Tony as the event description is the content area of the event editor. This could mean that there could be a significant amount of information appearing there.

I’m wondering if it would be a better idea to use a more detailed Event title and/or ticket name and description instead. Those elements are shown during registration checkout.
