Hello,

I created a series of events. Lets assume that they are called “html5 and css3 basic” with the price 3000.

So i created a category and attached that cateogry to those events.

This is the shortcode to that category.
[EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id=”html5-css3-basic-1392887539″]

I insert that shortcode to a new standard wordpress page.

I gave the created events an event promotion discount of 1000 until a certain date was meet.

When i enter that page i created with the shortcode from above, it will show me the events of “html5 and css3 basic”. there is also a price. that price is shown as 3000 still.

So my question is.

Why are the 1000 that i dictated in the event promotion not deducted from the original price?

I can see when i book the event, the price was changed from 3000 to 2000. But surely i need to see that the price is 2000 and not 3000 as i see it now.

Hi Morten,

By Default Event Espresso does not show Early bird discounts within the Event List.

However we have a function that outputs a list of all the Prices for an event which does display the early bird discount and can be included within event_list_display.php which will output something similar to this http://take.ms/eDvfk

That event has 2 Prices with an Early Bird Discount enabled.

That function is available here:

https://gist.github.com/sethshoultes/ab1e992668cf3166a686

Place the function from that gist into wp-content/uploads/espresso/custom_functions.php

Then copy event-espresso/templates/event_list.php and event_list_display.php to wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/ and modify event_list_display.php there.

Adding the action from within that gist to around line 84 and remove the current prices from the template.

Something like this should work http://take.ms/SDoy3

Then you just need to style the list to suit.

Hope that helps.

This is neat Tony. I have 2 things πŸ™‚

1) I did locate how to calculate the discount. $event->early_disc its in this object. So it works now.

2) I will take a look at what you posted, i just came back to the job and its before my coffee. I will get back to you for sure πŸ™‚

I think this is solved. You answered my question. I solved it myself with some custom code. If however you see an issue with using the $event->early_disc value then please tell me. But as things are i dont see a issue there.

πŸ™‚

Thanks
