Using EE 4.8.24p
Hello,
I’m about to ase LearnDash to serve online training courses and was thrilled to see there is EE integration but, upon further reading, I am not sure it does what I want it to.
My online courses will have no connection with any of my instructor-led (live) training. All I am looking to do is provide my customers/students with a single shopping cart experience: sing up for an online course, sign up for a live event, and check out just once.
The easiest thing would be an EE integration with WOOCommerce (since LD integrates with it) but I understand that isn’t possible.
Since I can’t have LD courses added to the EE shopping cart nor can I have EE events added to the LD shopping cart, I came up with one scenario that *should* work: use the integration from LD as it was designed. BUT, the online material will be on-demand. So here is my question:
Does EE allow me to create an event without a specified Datetime? If it does, then this should work.
Or has anyone else figured out how to have a single shopping cart experience with both platforms?
Thanks!

Since I can’t edit my original post, I’ll just off a quick apology here for my atrocious and careless spelling in my original question! 🙂

Hi Rob,
At least one ticket and an associated datetime is required. The event editor won’t save without them.
What if you created a datetime that spans for a long period such as a year?

Hmmm… Interesting idea. I’ll try it out. I could assign them to a category called “online” and then adjust the table view for that category to exclude the Datetime column, further reducing the chance that a potential student would skip over the class due to confusion of a starting date.
Thanks (as always) Lorenzo – this may work.

Hi Rob,
The Events Table View template will take them back to the single event page to start a registration via the ticket (pricing option) selector.
If you add a category to an event, then that body class is added. So you could setup the initial CSS to handle it and then you could simply add a tag through the event editor.
Here is an example where the event category is called “Ongoing”:
.espresso_events.espresso_event_categories-ongoing div.event-datetimes { display: none; }
