Trying To Customize Registration Page

I’m trying to change the registration and finalize payment pages. I found this URL:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/ee4-single-page-checkout-page-actions-filters/

and copied the template file

plugins\eventespresso\modules\single_page_checkout\templates\registration_page_wrapper.template.php

into

uploads\espresso\templates\registration_page_wrapper.template.php

as well as

uploads\espresso\modules\single_page_checkout\templates\registration_page_wrapper.template.php

I added a few changes to the file to make sure they were getting picked up but my version of the file never seemed to get called. If I add the same changes to the original template file they show up. Am I meant to be able to override this template file? And if so, am I putting it into the wrong file structure? Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Those are filter and action hooks, so they are designed to be used in a functions.php file or a custom functions plugin.

I do not believe that that template can be transferred anywhere else to be modified.

Thanks Dean. Okay. That makes sense. So I can override the below three actions with my own code:

AHEE__SPCO__before_registration_steps
AHEE__SPCO__after_registration_steps
AHEE__SPCO__reg_form_footer

but beyond those actions I can’t change the actual check out process? What I am ultimately trying to do is cut down on the number of clicks the user has to go through before they are re-directed to the Paypal site (which is the only payment gateway that I have configured). Once a user has filled out the registration questions they have to:

1. Click Proceed to Payment Options
2. Click the Paypal button where it says “Select Your Method of Payment”
3. Click the Finalize Registration Button

I would really like to cut out the first two steps since I’ve only got one Payment Option available. Is that possible?

Thanks,

Joe

Hi,

That process can’t be edited at this time as its part of the core plugin. We will be improving the checkout flow for a future version of EE4, that will let you checkout faster if there is only a single payment gateway running.
