Hi Seth et al,
I want to use multi-event but am not sure how it works and what I need to do if anything to enable it with my events. May be in the documentation somewhere but could locate it. Can you let me know?
Thank you…… liz

Hi Liz,
You can activate the Multi-Event Registration (MER) from your WordPress Dashboard as you would with any other plug-in. On activation you may see something unusual – there are no settings! MER integrates seamlessly and everything that it does is either behind the scenes or actually on your websites front end.
Here is a link to the documentation https://eventespresso.com/wiki/multiple-event-registration-add-on/
Let us know if you need any further help.

Hi Nikki,
I have activated it and yes I noted that no settings. I just don’t see how it works. If I am a user and I want a ticket how does it work, and then I want another. And how does it handle questions?
Thank you,
liz

What I am confused by is that I can’t see (as the user) anything like “add to cart”, so i thought perhaps I had to say that an event was enabled for multi-buy but can’t see that anywhere. Sp how is it supposed to work?

I have just retested in case I was just being stupid. I registered and added another person then the only option I have is to pay with paypal.
I have a whole weekend of classes and want then to be able to add as many as they want then check out.

Hi,
The Multiple Event Registration add on is live on your site when you go to /event-registration/
I am assuming the confusion is coming from the fact that you are using the calendar as the main focus of your events.
Right now the calendar does not have an add to cart function in the tooltip, but this is something we are working on to rectify. I cannot give timescales, but can advise it is currently in the testing phase.
It also looks like you have disabled the registration forms in the individual events. That’s fine but right now there is no way for the users to sign up.
You can add the ESPRESSO_CART_LINK shortcode to the event description (or to the registration_page_display.php to enable an add to cart link in the single registration pages as well – https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#add-to-cart

Hi Dean,
What happens is we create an overall Event that shows on the calendar, this does not have a registration form. The overall event then links to all other Events for the individual sessions these do have the registration form activated but do not show on the calendar by virtue of not have a given category – and they do currently allow the user to register.
Do you mean I should introduce the shortcode in the links on the overall page, or the target pages i.e. the individual Events – and if so where? This is one of the “child events that allow registration: http://www.thetangoclub.com/event-registration/?ee=2356
Thank you, liz

Hi liz,
In these circumstances to use the Multi Event Registration on that event you’ll need to add the [ESPRESSO_CART_LINK] into the event description for that event.
So you would need to you edit that event you linked to.
Disable the registration form.
Add the [ESPRESSO_CART_LINK] within that events description.
We have a guide posted whish shows how to swap out the standard registration form to use the cart link, available here:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/multiple-events-registration-use-add-to-cart-link-instead-of-default-registration-form/
Does that help?

Hi Tony,
OK that works. A couple of questions:
Can I add an image for “View Cart”?
On the Cart page can I add something – I want to link to the main programme page so they can easily add more.
It’s a bit clunky but will have to do for now. The attendee information page needs some further thought as it becomes very long and tedious. I suggest the payment button is placed top & bottom of page. I suggest that all unique question groups are displayed once and on completion copied for every event, where relevant, then allow the user to select an event where he needs to vary the data. I also think the event description should be either configurable to show or not show, or a collapsed block that can be expanded, otherwise the whole thing is very cumbersome.
Thank you………….. liz

Hi Liz,
Are you referring to the text link for View Cart? Here is a screenshot:
http://cl.ly/image/0L3r2D1q1d0H
It has a CSS class of ee_view_cart. You could add CSS for this class to create a button.
