Hi Jean,

I would like to set up the event registration so that the user can select all desired options before adding them to the cart. Is that possible?

It depends on the specifics here, can you add more details on how you are looking for it to work?

The Multi Event Registration add-on allows users to select tickets and add the selection to a ‘cart’. Those ticket selections can be on a single event or multiple events but when finished they proceed through to the registration page to complete the registration.

Do you have the add-on installed and activated?

I do not want the “Return to Event List” to take them back to ALL open event registrations, I would prefer that it returns them to same event.

This depends on your server setup, you can use a snippet like this:

Which will try to redirect the user back to the page they come from but if the value isn’t available sends them to the default list.

You can add that to a custom functions plugin on your site, we have some documentation on creating one here:

(Note the above only works when the Multi Event Registration add-on is enabled)

We wanted the user to be able select multiple ticket options and add them all to the cart at one time; rather than selecting one option at a time.

If you have multiple ticket options on an event then they can do.

However…

For example select the conference registration ($250), one way ($40) or round trip ($80) transportation and a vip dinner ($100) — and add all of their selections to the cart at one time. Right now you can only select one option at a time.

Those ‘add-on’ items mean you would basically need to limit registrations to a single person each time, which can work, but I don’t know if it will for you.

In addition, I only wanted to apply the multiple tix option to one event, but it appears to apply the option to all my open events.

Correct, the multi-event registration add-on applies to all instances of the ticket selector (all events).

I think we will be altering our registration process to accommodate this so we have more control and won’t need to do any customization.

Thanks so much for your help!

You’re most welcome.

One option you have for the above is to just add multiple ticket selections, adding the ‘add-on’ items onto those as you go, so something like:

Registration ($250)
Registration + one way transportation ($290)
Registration + round trip transportation ($340)
Registration + one way transportation + VIP dinner ($390)
Registration + round trip transportation + VIP dinner ($440)

The user then selects one ticket per person in a single step, again I’m not sure if that is what you are looking for but is one option for the above.

The above should work, which message type are you editing?

The preview function uses dummy data, it was intended to be a way of viewing the layout rather than the specific questions used. So to ‘preview’ changes properly the best method to use is to add a registration to the event and then trigger messages on that registration to view it.
