I have installed and activated the multiple event registration plugin but the “add to cart” option is not showing on the registration page?

Hi Andy,

The add to cart link only shows on the Event List pages by default.

If you want to add it to the individual registration pages you can follow this guide https://eventespresso.com/wiki/multiple-events-registration-use-add-to-cart-link-instead-of-default-registration-form/

Thanks Dean,

I have done this but there still doesn’t seem to be a way of customers being able to add multiple events as. From the cart there is no option to “carry on shopping” or “add another event” as users are asked to enter attendee information and then proceed to payment?

What is needed is the option to add products to the cart, add more events or check out.

Also, is there a way for users to buy multiple tickets but mot enter attendee information? I am using the system for booking activities and we get a lot of groups of up to 30 and having to enter 30 sets of details may put people off.

Cheers

Andy

Hi,

“From the cart there is no option to “carry on shopping” or “add another event” ”

This is true if the user is already on the cart, we didn’t add one as we can never be sure where to send the user back to as some people use the Event Registration page, others use an Event List shortcode on an unknown page, some use the custom post types, etc etc.

It could be possible to add a jQuery message that says something like that if the person is on the cart page and has something in their cart.

If the user is on the registration page, e.g. http://www.activehighs.co.uk/event-registration, they can just click add to cart as many times as they want to before going to the cart itself.

“Also, is there a way for users to buy multiple tickets but mot enter attendee information?”

Yes, set the event to group bookings but have the “Additional Attendee Registration info? ” setting set to “No info required”.

OK Dean, thanks for that. I have decided to use the date range plugin for multi activity bookings as it seems easier for the user. I have installed it and it works in Google Chrome but the filter button doesn’t seem to work in internet explorer 11? Unless it’s a setting on my machine.

Can you provide a link to the page in question please?

Hi Andy,

I’m sorry for the delay. This turns out to be something in the way that IE handles dates in JavaScript. We should have caught this in testing. Anyway, if you go in and look at the date range plugin’s index.php file, you’ll find a block of jQuery that prepares the dates:

if( 0 < jQuery('.datepicker').length ) {
    jQuery('#ee_date_from').datepicker({
    	altField: "#date_from_converted",
		altFormat: "yy-m-d",
		changeMonth: true,
		changeYear: true
    });
    jQuery('#ee_date_to').datepicker({
    	altField: "#date_to_converted",
		altFormat: "yy-m-d",
		changeMonth: true,
		changeYear: true
    });
} // end if

the date format can be changed to use slashes instead of dashes (/ not -) in order to be more IE friendly:

if( 0 < jQuery('.datepicker').length ) {
    jQuery('#ee_date_from').datepicker({
    	altField: "#date_from_converted",
		altFormat: "yy/m/d",
		changeMonth: true,
		changeYear: true
    });
    jQuery('#ee_date_to').datepicker({
    	altField: "#date_to_converted",
		altFormat: "yy/m/d",
		changeMonth: true,
		changeYear: true
    });
} // end if

Fantastic, all working as it should now.

Is there a way of just making suggestions for improvements for future releases of plugins etc?

I have a couple of things which I think would be of benefit for the calendar widget and also the volume discount o=plugin.

Cheers

Hi Tony,

I have just put a post in the pre release forum for a request for the volume discount plugin as below:

Volume Discount Plugin

Is there any way of adding the option to give a discount for every ticket bought and applying a tiered discount structure.
At the moment my business is set up so that if you book 2 events then you receive a £5 discount per ticket/person and three events a £10 pp discount per ticket/person and a 10% discount on the total if you book 4 or more events.

Date Range Plugin

Also it would be great to have a “checkout now” option on the date range plugin as it;s not that clear to customers that they need to click on “view cart” to check out, is there a way of doing this at the moment with an htmal link or short code to the basket?

Multiple Events

It would be great to allow people to add multiple events to their cart from the calendar or continue shopping from the registration page and again have a checkout now option here as well.

Calendar Widget

A drop down menu of categories above the calendar widget would be great that allows customers to filter there events as currently no way of knowing what the coloured blocks mean unless you mouse over them or a key of what the colours relate to as per the main calendar.

Cheers

Andy

Hi Andy,

Thanks for taking the time to leave this valuable feedback. I’ve registered your suggestions and we will keep it in mind for future features and updates! One thing you can do not is set up a custom link in the WP menu manager that’s labeled “Checkout Now” and set the URL to go to: http://www.activehighs.co.uk/event-registration?regevent_action=show_shopping_cart

You could also add that link directly to your list of events page.
