How would I setup the seating csv file to accommodate seating with round tables (10 chairs per table)?

Hi Dovid,

It can be done but the images will look something like this http://take.ms/UXRkY and it will take some work to achieve.

Using the sample file, I created a basic single table, like so http://take.ms/Gm4R8

This results in an image like so http://take.ms/C6cpz

You may wish to set them as rectangular and advise the customers the tables are actually round.

Any idea why the tables are not in numerical order?
see http://events.creativesls.com/mega-challah-bake-florida/

I am using a new section for each table. Every row of tables (ie 1-9, 10-18) are a new level.

Thanks

Also, where am I supposed to set the prices, on the csv file or the event settings?
I would like to have a early bird discount rate as well.

Another issue, when I enable a seating chart, it shows the price as $0.00 even though I set it to $25 in the event setting, and the price modifier stops working.

Sorry to bug with more questions…
Which file do I edit to make text changes to the seating chart popup?
I want to change the word ‘section’ to ‘table’.

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

1) The seat numbers. Basically, they are in order, but the placeholder elements have been allocated seat numbers. so the top line is 1,2,3,4 the next is 5, 6(hidden) 7 (hidden), 8, etc etc

Or do you mean something else?

2) Prices. In the CSV. The seating chart prices over rule the event ones.

3) 0.00 price. See above, seating chart over rules the event prices. The Price Modifier add on does not work with the setaing chart.

4) /wp-content/plugins/espresso-seating/lib/js/seating_chart.js

Hope that helps, and again sorry for the delayed response.

Hi,

Line 224

html += "Section: "+jQuery(this).attr('section')+"
";

Is for the popup when you hover over the seat.

I am referring to the section title.
I already made the change to the popup.

Ah, I see.

There’s a couple of ways you can do that.

‘Section:’ is translatable so I would recommend using either the plugin or function available here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/#plugins

To translate ‘Section:’ to in this example ‘Table:’

This will keep the change update safe.

Or you can edit the original location, espresso-seating/request.php line 88

$section->section_title = __('Section:', 'event_espresso');

Please note we can not support modified files (second option), if an issue is reported further down the line we can only support this if the same issue occurs with unmodified files.
