Guys, my emails that are sent out after event registration don’t show up values for DATE, LOCATION, etc… i am using your default ticket template. thats how it is sent out:

Location: Phone: Google Map: Karte und Wegbeschreibung We hope that you will find this event both informative and enjoyable. Should you have any questions, please contact florian.linhardt@me.com.

Hi Klaus, YYYY/MM/DD For the venue information, is the address information filled out in the event editor or in the venue editor? If the latter, is the venue selected in the event editor? |
|
|
Thanks for your reply. I don’t know the date format as i don’t see it. Yes, it set start and end times (please see the image). I also uploaded an image, but using [venue_image] doesn’t show it ;( I have used [venue_title] instead of location, that works and is enough. I do not need more location information. |

The dates appear to be correct, and I tried plugging in the same dates and times for one of my test events and the times displayed in the test email I sent. It may help to temporarily deactivate all non-EE plugins to narrow down the issue. If the dates are included in the email while all non-EE plugins are deactivated, you can re-activate them one by one until you find the one that affected this. |
|

First of all, thank you so much for your christmas support! Unfortunately we made no step forward deactivating other plugins. I deactivated ALL plugins but yours EE ones, same thing: [start_date] does not show up?! Very frustrating ;( |
|
is there a chance to display custom fields in the events email? that might be a workaround?! |
|
Sorry, this might be not such a good option as these date and time fields show up empty in my ticket template as well ;( i hope we can fix this somehow? |
|
Actually it would be a solution as it would be the same custom field showing the date and start time. thanks for your support! |
Hi Klaus, It may help to check your PHP error log right after it sends out an email with the missing [start_date] content to see if there are any errors that get thrown when the email shortcodes get processed. |
|
|
how/where can i check php errors? |
Hi Klaus, Usually you FTP in and browse the files in the server to find the error log file. It may also be there if you log into the host’s control panel (or c-panel). If you can’t find it you may need to check with your host. |
|
|
is there a chance to have a custom field integrated in my emails? |
|
i have no idea if this is the one having the clue? |
|
Hi, Unfortunately that isn’t the one. Please go to your WordPress installation root (where the wp-config folder etc are) and look for a file called error_log e.g. http://d.pr/i/rtrM |
|
Strange thing: the events i just created show those dates and times?! I can live with that and hope it stays that way π Thanks for your support anyway! |
|
ok, back again. as soon as i edit something on the event page, the date and time details get lost in the email and the ticket ;( sorry, not resolved yet. |
|
and: i do not have a log file in that wp path π |
Hi Klaus, I notice you’ve modified EE functionality previously, have you modified any of the functions within event-espresso/includes/event-management/update_event.php? |
|
|
No, this file is untouched (https://www.dropbox.com/s/dijik66r830emah/Schnappschuss%20%282013-12-30%2021.17.37%29.png). Thanks helping me on this! |
|
here is the file as it is saved on the server: https://www.dropbox.com/s/itpkosc1in3d9va/update_event.php |
|
Are you using the venue manager or not? EE->general settings->Advanced Features-> Use the Venue Manager? |
|
Yes, i do. Things it, it works, i get the date and times display until i edit the post after it was first published. |
Hi Klaus, Can you send a snapshot of the database so we can investigate further? You can send it to support@eventespresso.com. |
|
|
Sorry, i have no idea how to work with PHPmyadmin?! Would it help if i provide you our SQL login data? |
|
If this is getting to hard, a custom field that could be used with a TAG in EMAIL and TICKET would really help a lot. Would that be easier? |
|
Hi, You could use any database backup plugin to grab a copy of the database. “a custom field that could be used with a TAG in EMAIL and TICKET would really help a lot” Sorry, at this time that isn’t possible. |
|
Ok. Got it π I just checked “wp_events_start_end”. All entered data is still in the db?! Or do you need a different table? |
|
If possible the whole database, it will make it easier for us to simply add it into a test site. |
|
ok, here we go: *Removed* please give me a short note as soon as you downloaded the file so that i can remove it from my public box. thanks.
|
Hi Klaus, I have downloaded a copy of the file. You can remove it from your dropbox account. |
|
|
Looks like this is our very last issue before we can go live with our website. I hope we do find a solution for this very soon. Thanks for all your help so far. Awesome support in here! |
Hi Klaus, I can’t find any issues with the dates/times in the database. Can you try a clean install of Event Espresso and see if the same issue happens with that? You can keep your current modified one, just de-activate it and install the ‘clean’/unmodified version info a different folder name. (For example event-espresso-unmodified) This will help identify if this is a plugin or a modification causing this. Ensure you have a backup of both your website files and the database as I do not know the extent of the modifications you have made. |
|
Also, if you have any templates within wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates then please rename that folder (E.g. ‘templates-temp’) to ensure modified templates are not loaded when using the ‘clean’ version. |
