I cannot manage to setup MER. I don’t understand how to setup up the pages so that a attendent can choose different events, in order to get to one amount to pay. We have a license and MER is activated.

Hi there,

I’m logged into the site now. Let’s take these step by step:

Attendants need to be able to make a reservation for one or more of the following:

  • workshops (we still have to create those events) (both days have 3 different ones, they should be able to book 1 or more)
  • diner (“Netwerkdiner”)
  • hotel (“Overnachting”) (one night of two nights)

Can you create the workshop events? (they don’t need to be finished, I just need something to link to)

These choices should be listed on one page and add up to an amount (in euros),

I’ll see what I can do, the Event Espresso Multi Event Registration cart will total things up based on the selections on the cart page. What I can do initially is set up a table display that shows all the options and each option can be added to the cart.

after filling out, a button should be clickable (at the bottom), leading to IDEAL-payment

Have you created a page where you want this to happen on? If so, which page is it. If not, what do you want the name of the page to be?

(we registerded with Targetpay).

is Targetpay compatible with IDeal by Mollie?

And after payment an email should be sent with a confirmation of payment.

That shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll make sure the email settings are set to send confirmation of payment.

  • created the 2×3 events
  • created a page called “Payment”
  • Targetpay works like mollie, but if necessary i can also use Mollie, main target is functionality now

Hi there,

Are there going to be limits to the amount of attendees of each workshop? If so, can you set limits on those?


Josh

Okay, I added a shortcode to the Payment page that displays a custom table view of all the events. If you add limits to the workshops, they can be selected and added to the Multi Event Registration cart.

I have set a limit for the events. I suppose I can still change it later?

  • So this page “Payment” is what where I can have the visitors place “their order”?
  • In the table, behind “Netwerkdiner” it shows “show card” instead of “choose like the others. where can I change that, do I have access to the table?

Yes, it might be better to give that page a different name, the buyer is directed to a payment page after they’ve selected the items they want and after they fill out the registration form.

In the table, behind “Netwerkdiner” it shows “show card” instead of “choose like the others. where can I change that, do I have access to the table?

The table template file is in /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates. You can edit this file if you have FTP access. When you select an item, it “adds” it to the cart, and changes the link text to “Winkelwagen overzicht”, which is from the language file. The translation can be changed. What would you prefer it to say when after an item is added to the cart?


abouwman

January 30, 2013 at 1:37 pm

“Toegevoegd” (means “added”) would be good.
By the way, the dutch translation I not very good, aklthough i appreciate the effort, can I perhaps be of help in that matter? With poedit maybe?

Hi there,

The Dutch translation is maintained by a group of volunteer translators. If you’d like to contribute to the translation efforts, we have program that includes incentives. You can sign up to be a translator here:

https://eventespresso.com/features/languages/

I’ll go ahead and drop a function in the custom_functions.php that will override the translation for that string. If you decide to go through and update the translation file, you can always change this later.

We’re getting ready to release Event Espresso 3.1.30.P, which will have some changes to the way you can use the language files. One nice thing that’s being added is you can copy your own .mo file (from poedit) into /wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages and run your own translation, instead of changing the core language file.

Thank you so far Josh, but wenn I log out and reload the page (now called “reserveren”) it still shows the two events I clicked before as “toegevoegd” (added). Standard it should say “kiezen” (choose/add) until the visitor goes on to payment. And that is my second question: can it not have a button at the bottom of the table that says “go on” (or “ga door” in dutch), which brings one to a listing of what is orderded and than on to the IDEAL page?


abouwman

January 30, 2013 at 3:35 pm

two more questions:
– where/how can I change the order of events in the table?
– where/how can I set the width of the columns? Is there a certain css-file?

Hi there,

If you edit the page that displays the table, you can add an order_by parameter to the shortcode. So for example , if you wanted to order them by the events’ names, you would change the shortcode to this:

[ESPRESSO_TABLE order_by=event_name]

There’s a list of order_by parameters in the shortcode documentation here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#event-list

The table styles are set by your WordPress theme. I added a few styles inline to the espresso_table.php file just so they’d be readable (the theme made the table header and each alternating row of table text white on a white background).

I didn’t see your other questions:

Thank you so far Josh, but wenn I log out and reload the page (now called “reserveren”) it still shows the two events I clicked before as “toegevoegd” (added).

Once you added events to the cart, they stay in the cart until you remove them or check out.

Standard it should say “kiezen” (choose/add) until the visitor goes on to payment. And that is my second question: can it not have a button at the bottom of the table that says “go on” (or “ga door” in dutch), which brings one to a listing of what is orderded and than on to the IDEAL page?

You can add a link to the bottom of the page and style it as a button with a background image or CSS (your theme may even have shortcodes that make links into buttons).

For your site, the cart page is:

http://www.nbpomasterclasses.mobi/?page_id=711&regevent_action=show_shopping_cart

So you could add something like this to the page:

<a href="http://www.nbpomasterclasses.mobi/?page_id=711&regevent_action=show_shopping_cart rel="nofollow">Ga door</a>

Hello,
I/we made some steps and I managed to alter the table (changed the ID’s of events in PHPMyAdmin so I could get them ordered properly)
and I learnt some more, but I still need some help to get the site/Event Espresso were it should be.

1.In the table (“Reserveringstabel from the menu), dutch for “tickets available now says “Toegangskaarten beschikbaar”. Where can I change that? because this description is too long.
2.Can I outline a column on the right? (want to do that with the prices)
3.when you click “ga door” (go to cart), you get a listing of events in frames. You get all existing events, but it would be appropriate if you only get the ones you added in/from the table. Is that possible?
4.In each of those eventframes, it now says “registreren” (button) “of Toegevoegd” (or added) or it gives de button “registreren” with “of Toevoegen aan winkelwagen” (add to cart).
(the button under Netwerkdiner says “Details bekijken” (see details), wich is not useful)

What one should get, idealisticly speaking, is
1.a compact listing of the events ordered from the table wit prices and a total price
2.in there with it a registrationform or a link to such a page
3.after registration a link to the IDEAL-page for payment. In this IDEALpage the payment should be made
and after that
4.a confimationmessage/page (“Dank U” (thank you)) should com and
5.a confirmation should be send to the addres of the attendent.

I know I ask a lot, if I had more time, I would be willing to work, search, try, but now we are/I am already in overtime…
So I am surely willing to pay some more for the help (aside from great gratitude)

Maybe it would be good if you then try and make a reservation and registration yourself, so you see what our guests get?


abouwman

January 31, 2013 at 2:32 pm

oh yes and it would be nice if the cart showed the same order of events as in the table (by ID)


abouwman

Update.

It should be like this:

1.In the menu you click “Reserveren”

2.A page comes where you register, where you have to answer the Questiongroups
– Personal Information
– “Evenementinfo”

3.click on button “Doorgaan” (“go on”) brings you to “Reserveringstabel” (the table with events that can be ordered)

4.click on button “Doorgaan” brings you to cart, where you can change the amount for some events.

4b.In case someone orders an Hotelevent (ID 8/9/10), they should have to answer the questiongroup “Hotelinfo” (if this is not possible, than another solution to get this Info?)

5.Then the next step should be payment, I don’t see how to make that happen.
We installed the plugin from Pronamic/IDEAL and created an account at Targetpay (but Targetpay is not relevant here I guess)
The plugin seems to be active and ok, but on the generated IDEAL-page I see nothing.

6.After payment a confimationmessage/page (“Dank U” (thank you)) should appear.

7.A confirmationmail should be send to the addres of the attendent.

Other questions:

1.In the table, can I outline a column on the right? (would like to do that with the prices)

2.Can the cart show the same order of events as in the table (by ID)?

3.Must I have this code in the Event-descriptions?
[ESPRESSO_CART_LINK anchor=”Register for this Event” direct_to_cart=1 moving_to_cart=”Redirecting to cart…”]
It is in some and some not)

4.Why would it make sense to allow group-registrations and set it to 1? (found that somewhere)

Maybe it would be good if you try and make a reservation and registration yourself, so you see what our guests get? (We won’t expect you to come)

I would be happy to buy another token to get it done.

1.In the table (“Reserveringstabel from the menu), dutch for “tickets available now says “Toegangskaarten beschikbaar”. Where can I change that? because this description is too long.

In the language file. You’ll want to copy the Dutch language .po file out of the /plugins/event-espresso/languages directory, make your changes in Poedit, then upload the .mo file generated when you save the .po to /uploads/espresso/languages

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/

2.Can I outline a column on the right? (want to do that with the prices)

Yes, with custom CSS.

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/put-custom-templates/

3.when you click “ga door” (go to cart), you get a listing of events in frames. You get all existing events, but it would be appropriate if you only get the ones you added in/from the table. Is that possible?

Not sure I understand the question. The cart should only display events that have been added to the cart unless you have set up an ESPRESSO_CART_LINK shortcode to add multiple events to the cart.

1.In the menu you click “Reserveren”
2.A page comes where you register, where you have to answer the Questiongroups
– Personal Information
– “Evenementinfo”
3.click on button “Doorgaan” (“go on”) brings you to “Reserveringstabel” (the table with events that can be ordered)
4.click on button “Doorgaan” brings you to cart, where you can change the amount for some events.

This is not possible without significant custom development. The flow of the registration process cannot be altered without modifying the plugin. The question groups are tied to specific events — you cannot simply fill out a series of questions and have that information passed without having an actual event that you are registering for.

We installed the plugin from Pronamic/IDEAL and created an account at Targetpay (but Targetpay is not relevant here I guess)
The plugin seems to be active and ok, but on the generated IDEAL-page I see nothing.

The Pronamic/iDEAL plugin was not developed by us and we cannot provide support for it. I would recommend contacting the developers of that plugin. We have never seen it work properly with Event Espresso, despite the fact that the plugin says it supports Event Espresso.

http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pronamic-ideal

2.Can the cart show the same order of events as in the table (by ID)?

Not sure. You might need to alter the SQL query to change the sort order of the events in the cart.

3.Must I have this code in the Event-descriptions?
[ESPRESSO_CART_LINK anchor=”Register for this Event” direct_to_cart=1 moving_to_cart=”Redirecting to cart…”]
It is in some and some not)

If you want your users to register via the cart, then yes, and you should disable the registration form. If you don’t want people to register for multiple events, then no.

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/multiple-events-registration-use-add-to-cart-link-instead-of-default-registration-form/

4.Why would it make sense to allow group-registrations and set it to 1? (found that somewhere)

If you wanted attendees to be able to purchase a ticket for a single guest.
