"Thank you" page editing / Attendee listing Questions

1. After registering for an event, the user is taken to the “Thank you” page, and there are a couple of things about this page we would like to adjust. A) The page says thank you for your payment – but all of our events are free so how do we change the wording? B) The page lists all attendee lists for all events – how do we completely remove this?

2. On the attendee listing the order of our sign-ups is important. However, we’ve noticed that the sign-up order is random every time we refresh the page. How can we make it so that the order in which people sign-up is kept that way?

3. Is there a way to attendee list those who are on the waitlist?

Hi Cameron,

With your first question, this sounds like something has been customized as Event Espresso will by default not display a “thank you for payment” message if it’s a free event. The same is true for the list of attendees.

The standard Free Event confirmation follows:

Payment Overview
*name*,
Thank you! Your registration is confirmed for *event name*

Your Registration ID: *registration ID*

A confirmation email has been sent with additional details of your registration.

The Payment Overview headline can be reworded to say something else by using one of the methods outlined in this guide:

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

If it’s showing any other messages there have any of the templates been modified?

With #2, the attendee_list.php template can be altered to display the attendees in the order that the registrations came in. You can make this happen by copying this template to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates and change line 72 to read:

$a_sql .= " ORDER BY id ";

With #3, while it’s not possible to combine two lists (one from the waitlist event to its parent), they can be each displayed on one page by using the List Attendees shortcode. Here’s an example:

[LISTATTENDEES event_identifier=”main_event_identifier”]

[LISTATTENDEES event_identifier=”waitlist_event_identifier”]

Hi, so I put the list attendees shortcodes on a page but they are both displaying the original event list of attendees. I may be missing something here, but could you clarify how I can get the original and the waitlist to show a list of attendees?

They’d be two separate lists. Can you clarify which shortcodes you have on this page?

These two:
[LISTATTENDEES event_identifier=”main_event_identifier”]

[LISTATTENDEES event_identifier=”waitlist_event_identifier”]

And it is displaying 2 lists of just the main event.

Also – another quick question. How come on the calendar the events are listed in 12 hour time but in the event tracker they are 24 hour time?

Apologies, one more question.

On the Event Registration page I have it displaying the event (description, time, registration) and a list of attendees for THAT event. This works fine, until after the person registers for the event – then a “Thank You” message is displayed, but the part that is off is that it also displays the attendee lists for EVERY event on the calendar under that. How do I make it so that after registration it JUST displays the confirmation thank you?

Hi Cameron,

Can you let us know what the actual event identifiers are for each of the two events?

With the time formats, there’s a time format setting in Event Espresso>Calendar settings that lets you specify how you want the times to be displayed in the calendar. The event list will display the time format as set in WordPress>General Settings.

The answer will depend on how you have this set up now. Is this done by means of customizing some of the Event Espresso templates?
