What file controls the form fields? I know the theme plays a part in the styling of the forms but how can I alter the look and placement of the fields? Specifically for the payment page. Next I’ll need to address the registration page.

Hello,

The file event_espresso_style.css in event-espresso/templates, controls some of the forms styling, though your theme CSS can be used to overrule the plugin styles.

If by placement, you mean question order, you can do this from the Questions page in Event Espresso, simply dragging and dropping the questions.

So I want to have paypal pro form on the left and paypal button on right. Instead of one on top of the other. payment_gateway_display looks like the right file to attack.

  1. Can I move this to templates and safely modify it?
  2. Can you help me find what code needs to be surrounded by the table tags to do this?

Hey

event_espresso_style.css is empty? What version of EE are you running?

If possible, never move the files, copy them.

We can, but a minor css modification may be what you need rather than hacking at the php files. If you wanted something like http://d.pr/i/23gt where the button is at the top I would just add this to the bottom of your themes style.css file

ul#espresso_payment_buttons {
margin-top: -900px;
}

all it does it pull the button up to the top. Just remember to change the figures if the form size changes and that the code will note stay if you update the theme (so copy it, update the theme, and re-enter it.

If that doesnt resolve what you need or you really want to customise the php file, we can assist via a ticket https://eventespresso.com/product/premium-support-token/

enter image description hereWe are using Paypal Pro. Upon Checking out, the form is long with space on the right. We’d like to put the Info area on the left and the payment info on the right. How can we best do this?

Thats a nice idea. I am also interested in this. The current payment page is not very inviting.

Hello Kara,

The way you would go about this is to firstly edit one of the payment files and add some css.

First copy the this file event-espresso/gateways/paypal_pro_vars.php to the uploads directory, uploads/espresso/gateways/paypal_pro_vars.php

In that file you need to add <div id="paypal_move"> to around line 63, above the Credit Card Information line.
Then add </div> to around line 124, below the <span id="processing"></span> line.

All this does is add a “wrapper” to the payment section of the form.

In your Themes style.css at the bottom add

#paypal_move {float:right; margin-top:-638px;}

This will move that section to the right and pull it up. You may need to fiddle with the -638 number to get it right on your screen.

Excellent! While doing this css really began to click for me. Might want to add this so its not to far to the right. margin-right:475px;

Only downside is depending on browser the columns line up dramatically different. I’d going to try my hand at applying custom CSS to the first column as well so the pixel count is the same throughout the page.

That didn’t work as expected. Any tip to keep the formatting consistent across browsers?

What file controls the text? I thought it was languages/event_espresso.pot but changes there don’t seem to be reflecting on the page. I want to remove/edit the on-site/off-site payment text.

You can use CSS to make it not display the on-site/off-site payment text:

Here’s an example:

h3#on_site_payment {
display:none;
}
