Hi guys. I really need some help with this. Ive been going round in circles for days.
The scenario is this – We have a client that runs language classes and we want to manage them with EE.
Lets say we have a course “French, Level 1”. This comprises of 6 classes each a week apart. Now we have the same course running over a few different physical locations and times. So we could have:
French Level 1 – Running at location A between 1st June and 13th July (on Mondays).
French Level 1 – Running at location B between 10th June and 22nd July (on Wednesdays).
French Level 1 – Running at Location A between 19th June and 31st July (on Fridays)
Obviously each of these has the class times associated (say 10AM to 2PM on each of the days specified – once a week).
How to set this up with EE4? Do I set each of the courses up as an event with each of the classes as day/times (I need to hide the day times on the main event listing page and show them on the event details page – how – I have removed date/times on the event listing page using CSS but I cannot see where to add them to the event detail page). Do I set one course up for French Level 1 with each of the different date/location options up as day/times (but then cannot specify the times of the individual classes – and I also have problems with the physical locations).
What is the best way to do this – any help would be massively appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Regards
Jason

Hi Jason,
I would hide the main events listing page and then create events for each location.
Then assign these to a specific events category. Then you could create a WordPress page for each location and use the following shortcode:
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”location-ABC-events”]
The last step would be to create a new WordPress page that has the language and location. Then each link on this page will go to one of the event category pages that you have created above.
This will be the registration flow:
Attendee arrives on homepage –> Browses to page that shows the language and location –> Clicks on their location and then begins registration for one of the courses
Hope that helps!

Thanks Lorenzo – that sounds like a good idea. I have played around with some CSS and might have a solution that allows me to place all locations on one page and hide the classes until on the individual events page.
Everything is/was looking great – until my client told me that she absolutely HAS to have coupon codes to allow for course discounts! Deal killer. I’ll have to start again, possibly in V3 or something else. Darn…
Thanks for your help though.
Jason

Hi Jason, we’d like to get the promotions add-on released as soon as possible. If you would like, you can try it out here:
https://eventespresso.com/topic/announcing-the-promotions-pre-release-for-event-espresso-4/
Since it connects with various areas of Event Espresso, it needs to be tested extensively.
Thanks
