Hi Renee,

Also, I notice that NOTHING actually shows up in the list if they select that method of payment.

Do you mean nothing displays within TYPE when they select Cheque?

I just ran a quick test registration September Chiro Day event, can you check that registration and see if it displays all of the details please?

To change ‘Check’ to ‘Cheque’ when a user selects that payment method will require a couple of small modifications. We can provide further details but I want to confirm the above is working first.

YOUR registration test DOES Show “Check” in the TYPE column in the attendees list and DOES display the other information in the attendees list. However, all previous are blank in the TYPE (if they selected Check) method, which I find strange.

The most likely cause of that is people not finalizing the registration when they select check. So they get to this point – http://take.ms/ApUB6

But don’t click the link that I’ve highlighted. That closes the session and saves the selected payment gateway.

I have a custom_function.php file in use in the “uploads/espresso” folder. Just so you know.

Thank you for letting me know, it won’t cause any problems.

What you need to do is grab the ‘check’ gateway from within:

/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/gateways/

Find the ‘check’ directory there and copy it. Now paste that within:

/wp-content/uploads/espresso/gateways/

So you have a copy of the check gateway in that location.

There you want to edit the /check/check_ipn.php file.

On line 11 you’ll find this:

$payment_data['txn_type'] = 'Check';

Change that to:

$payment_data['txn_type'] = 'Cheque';

What this will do is change the TYPE feiled for any NEW registrations made after this change. The current registrations will continue to use ‘Check’ but going forward ‘Cheque’ should be used if the user finalizes the registration that is.

It might a good idea to add some styling to that link to make sure the users click it. Making it bigger or another colour?

For example:

#check-payment-option-dv .finalize_button {
    font-size: 22px;
    color: red;
}

(Just an example of styles but the selector is the one you need)

Or you could alter the wording around that link if you prefer? That’s done within check_payment_vars.php within your custom check gateway directory.

That all make sense?
