Hi Lesley,

1) Understandable. Changing wording can be done via the language packs (here’s a guide https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/) and changing them to buttons would need a CSS tweak, but what that would be would depend on whether you want to match the Register link or use an image.

2) 3) & 4) Expanding the group count will certainly help. However, I think you may need to rethink the set up here.

I am assuming here that Golf Clinic and Awards Dinner are extras rather than separate events.

Personally what I would do is to not use Multiple Event Registration (MER) in this situation.

I would drop the golf team option, and set the max capacity to 4. I would also drop Golf Clinic and Awards Dinner as I would then use the Price Modifier addon to add them back in as further options ( you can use the dropdown option here with a maximum of 4 to coincide with group size )

This would allow your visitors to register up to four people (a team), and only ask the right number of questions for the number of people.

Obviously if the Clinic and Dinner can be purchased separately then you would perhaps need a different route again, this time involving MER.

3 events: Golfing, Golf Clinic and Dinner. Golfing will have a maximum group size of 4. The user can then add one or more events to the cart and select ticket amounts as required.

Hi Lesley,

1) If you add the following CSS to either your themes style.css file or to a plugin such as My Custom CSS it will match the buttons up for you

.register-link-footer a {
border: 1px solid #999999;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ffffff;
border-radius: 4px;
background: #ae37b9 url(http://fanatchickscare.org/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/templates/css/themeroller/purple-urple/images/ui-bg_highlight-hard_80_ae37b9_1x100.png) 50% 50% repeat-x;
}

The Add to cart/view cart will still do the same thing, it just looks more in line with the theme now.

2) & 3) If they are separate entities then it is definitely best to have them as 3 separate events and have MER enabled so that 1 person can add whatever they need to the cart and register accordingly.

Hi Lesley,

Well, you could add a shortcode to a post or page, that will add the event to cart and redirect the user there automatically.

[ESPRESSO_CART_LINK event_id=”1″ anchor=”REGISTER NOW!”]

Documentation – https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#add-to-cart

2) That’s not really possible as the plugin registers individuals, so for a team of 4 they need to buy 4 tickets in order to register 4 people. This is likely to change in the future, but right now there is no easy work around.

Well, you *could* just add questions per registration, so 1 ticket you get the Primary attendees name etc, and then add in required questions to obtain the other 3 members of the team. That is one way of doing it, but only the primary registrant is logged as an attendee, the rest are just answers to questions.

I hope that makes sense, if not please advise.

Hi Lesley,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

Critical issue wise – The exact system you need just isn’t possible with the default plugin, as it doesn’t handle fixed group bookings.

So its either a case of having up to 4 attendees where you will get full info on each one, OR having 1 attendee and use the questions to gather the data on the other 3 team members.

If you go with the former option which personally I feel is the best, you could either add a note stating less than 4 members is not allowed or perhaps use a bit of jquery to fix the figure to 4 and remove the other values. I can’t think of anything else.

Regarding the buttons, this CSS should work for you

.register-link-footer a:first-child {
display: none;
}
.register-link-footer {
color:#fff;
}
.register-link-footer a:last-child {
margin-left: -15px
}
