Promo Code apply to ticket

I have three questions about the promo code:

1 – I need a promo/coupon code that is applied to only one ticket price not the entire event. How can I accomplish this?

2 – Is it possible to change the words in the button “Submit Promo Code”? Client doesn’t want everyone asking for a promo code discount and they want to to keep it sort of hidden by calling it something else. For example “Zone#” How can this be accomplished?

3 – My site isn’t showing a text box to enter the promo code. I only see the button that reads “Submit Promo Code” but not text box appears? Is it because have not completed by paypal payment setup? Or maybe a problem with the site?

Hello Sherry,

Discounts/promotions are currently enabled on a per-event basis. You can vote for this enhancement here: https://trello.com/c/zCsClu98/112-add-ticket-scope-to-promotion

The messaging on the button text can be changed by using a gettext filter. Here is an example that you can add to your site via a site specific plugin:

Be sure to update REPLACE ME to your actual messaging.

Your field does not have a border and you can use CSS to add one:

Here is a preview of how it will appear as a light grey border: http://cl.ly/0E440X2H1y04

Concerning the message on the promo button, the PHP code you gave me is not working. It throws a “fatal error”. Can you take a second look and see if your code is correct for this use? Thanks for your help!

Okay, I was adding it directly to my functions file and kept getting an error. I added “My Custom Functions” plugin and it worked perfectly. Thank you for your help!

Hi there,

It sounds like you may have been including the opening php tag from the beginning of the file <?php, which if you are within an open php tag already will throw a fatal error, but anyway, I’m glad it’s now working ๐Ÿ™‚

Is there anything else you need assistance with or can I mark this thread resolved?
