Hello,

You can create a new email templates through WP-admin –> Event Espresso –> Email Manager.

If you click on the view custom email tags link at the bottom of the email text box, you’ll see all available options.

[registration_id], [fname], [lname], [phone], [edit_attendee_link], [event], [event_link], [event_url], [ticket_type], [ticket_link], [qr_code], [description], [cost], [company], [co_add1], [co_add2], [co_city],[co_state], [co_zip],[contact], [payment_url], [invoice_link], [start_date], [start_time], [end_date], [end_time], [location], [location_phone], [google_map_link], [venue_title], [venue_address], [venue_url], [venue_image], [venue_phone], [custom_questions], [seating_tag]

Hi sriddle,

Currently there is not a registration start/end email shortcode built into Event Espresso.

It is fairly straight forward to add, but requires modifying a core file as it will be overwritten on each EE update.

However if you would still like to add this to the email open up event-espresso/includes/functions/email.php

Add a comma (,) to the code “[add_to_calendar]” on line 55 and then add this after that line:

"[reg_start_date]",
"[reg_end_date]"

So you’ll end up with something like:

	"[edit_attendee_link]",
	"[add_to_calendar]",
	"[reg_start_date]",
	"[reg_end_date]"
);

Then do the same on line 124, add a command and add:

event_date_display($data->event->registration_start),
event_date_display($data->event->registration_end)

So you end up with:

	),
	event_date_display($data->event->registration_start),
	event_date_display($data->event->registration_end)
);

Then simply use [reg_start_date] and [reg_end_date] within the email.

*Note this very quickly tested and unsupported at this time and will be overwritten after each EE update.

Where do i find event-espresso/includes/functions/email.php?

You’ll need FTP access to the site and it will be within wp-content/plugins/

If you are unclear on any part of what this involves I would recommend you do NOT perform this customization yourself. You would be better not altering the files and sending the emails without the Registration dates.

Regarding the menu the not clicking, this isn’t something we can support although I can tell you the link is not actually a link to anywhere. Have you manually created this menu item? If so, how?
