WordPress User Integration

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

Create members-only events while keeping other events open to the public. Accounts for your attendees will be automatically created after they register, so they have access to past and upcoming events. Then the next time an attendee registers, they can log in, and their registration details will be pre-populated so they can check out quickly.

Installation for the Event Espresso 4 WP User Integration

ee4-wp-user-integration This add-on is a plugin for WordPress and can be installed through your WP dashboard (WP-admin).

Download the latest version of the WP User integration for Event Espresso 4 from your Event Espresso account.

Then login to your WordPress dashboard (WP-admin) and go to Plugins. Next, click on Add New –> Upload and browse to the plugin on your computer. Then select the zip file and begin the upload process. Wait for the plugin to upload and then click on Activate.

Setup and Configuration for the EE4 WP User Integration

Log in to your WordPress dashboard. Then go to Settings –> General. On the next screen, look for the Membership option and place a checkmark next to Anyone can register. Then save changes.

Next, go to Event Espresso –> Registration Form –> User Integration Settings. This page shows settings that affect the member functionality of this add-on.

Below are the available fields and explanations for each field.

Default setting for Login Required on Registration – if set to Yes, then your attendees/registrants will only be able to register for an event if they are logged in to your site
Default setting for User Creation on Registration – Specify if a new user should be created during registration checkout
Default role for User Creation on Registration – Specify the WordPress user role that should be used when a new user is created
Always sync contact information with WP user profile? – Specify whether changes to registration form answers on returning registrations will update the contact details and WordPress user profile information

Make changes as needed and then click on Save Settings. Note that these changes are optional and the first 3 can also be managed on a per-event basis via the event editor for Event Espresso:

Now you’ll need to give attendees/registrants a way navigate to the registration/log-in page. The default WordPress page for logging in is the same URL you use to log into your WordPress site: example.com/wp-login.php. The registration page URL is example.com/wp-login.php?action=register. You can post these links anywhere on your site. Some members use the built-in meta widget in widgetized areas of the theme. There are also plugins that allow for a little more control over what happens after logging in, and one example is the Simple login plugin.

You may want to “brand” the log-in page for your WordPress site. A nice and simple plugin that lets you do this is the Login Logo plugin developed by Mark Jaquith.

Usage for the Event Espresso 4 WP User Integration

The add-on will allow you to specify tickets that are available to members and non-members. To do this, go to Event Espresso –> Events. Then click on an existing event or click on Add New if you are creating your first event in Event Espresso. You’ll now be viewing the event editor. Add an event name along with a description and scroll down. You should see the ticket (pricing) editor. Create your ticket options and then click on the gear (advanced options icon). Towards the end of the ticket, you’ll see a setting for Ticket Capability Requirement.

The Ticket Capability Requirement allows you to set the user capability required to purchase a ticket and uses the Roles and Capabilities feature of WordPress. To offer a simple members-only ticket, enter “read” in the field. You can use this field across multiple tickets to provide tickets for different types of members. Be sure to save changes to your event.

How do I use it?
Creating these type of restrictions utilizes the Roles and Capabilities feature of WordPress. In this field, you indicate the capability that a visitor must have as a part of their user profile when logged in and viewing the ticket options. For example, if you have the s2Member® plugin installed, and you input the “access_s2member_level1” into this field, then the visitor must be logged in and have the “s2member_level1” (or greater) role assigned to their user.
s2Member® Support
s2Member® is a great tool that can be used to extend the EE4 WP User Integration add-on, because of the additional features it makes available for websites that depend upon membership fees. s2Member® makes it easy to secure WordPress content and offer users/members a secure checkout solution that integrates seamlessly with WordPress Roles/Capabilities.

s2Member® is a third-party WordPress plugin. It is not required, nor affiliated with Event Espresso.

Supported s2Member® Roles
If you have s2Member® installed on your site, you can use any of the following capabilities to limit access to tickets based on a certain s2Member® role:

access_s2member_level0
access_s2member_level1
access_s2member_level2
access_s2member_level3
access_s2member_level4

You can learn more about Roles & Access Capabilities from the s2Member Roles & Capabilities documentation.

Contacts & User Admin Screen

The EE4 WP User Integration allows event administrators to view linked contacts and WP users quickly.

Show what WP user an Event Espresso 4 contact record is linked to when viewing an EE4 contact.

Show what contact is linked to the user profile when viewing the /users.php page in the backend

How to link a contact to an existing WordPress User Account

If some Event Espresso contacts are not connected to existing WordPress user accounts you can link them by following the guide published here:
https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/2165ff295c968f861cef8775fc8b1dc9

Your Registrations Page Shortcode

This shortcode allows you to create a front facing page for members to view their registration history. By logging into your site, and viewing a specific WordPress page on the front-end of your website, users can see events they’ve registered for in the past.

Just add the [ESPRESSO_MY_EVENTS] shortcode to any page, and your users will see a nice looking table of past registrations.

The table rows are expandable and offer more details about each registration.

Available shortcode parameters

template : defaults to event_section. Can be either simple_list_table or event_section as the template slug (see screenshots above for difference. This has been designed so developers can hook in their own templates down the road if they want (or we can add additional layouts at whim as well).
per_page : defaults to 10. This allows the user to set the limit of rows that are shown before pagination kicks in on the main table (the event_section template does no pagination of tickets listed for each event).
your_events_title : defaults to localized “Your Events”. This allows for users to customize the label for the listing.
your_tickets_title : defaults to localized “Your Tickets”. This allows for users to customize the label for the listing of your tickets. Note, the “Your Tickets” label is currently only used with the event_section template.

Behavior with logged in vs logged out.

When a logged out user visits a singular view of a post/page/custom_post_type that has the shortcode in it, then they will be automatically redirected to the WordPress login form. When they log in, they will be redirected back to that page.
When a logged out user visits an archive view of post/custom_post_type, any content that has this shortcode in it will display a link to the wp-login form as the parsed shortcode content. Clicking that link will take the user to the login form and once they log in they will be redirected back to the page they came to the login form from.

Other notes

We intentionally did not do a lot of styling on the tables leaving the majority of it up to themes.
Regarding responsiveness, if a theme is set up to have responsive tables then the layouts for these tables will work fairly well. Again, we intentionally was very minimal in terms of CSS applied so that the tables will inherit from themes.
Developers can override the templates by copying the files from the template directory into your theme.

User Profile Admin Page: My Events Page

Logged in users can view events they’ve registered for in the past, just by logging into your website and viewing their profile from within the WordPress admin.

This snippet adds an icon to the ‘My Events’ section of the WP User integration add-on which allows the user to cancel their registrations: https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/9534d318347082e63fc01f5c9c413361

Troubleshooting the Event Espresso 4 WP User Integration

The plugin does not work as expected. Can you help?
Please ensure that you are running a current version of Event Espresso 4. This add-on requires Event Espresso 4.6 and is not compatible with older versions of Event Espresso.

What information is pre-populated?
At this time, the first name, last name, and email address are pre-populated. An enhancement is coming to a future version that will pre-populate additional fields (e.g., address fields).

I use S2 Member, and the login form on the registration page is broken. What gives?

This is caused by S2 Member hooking into wp_login and adding a redirect there. You can remove the S2 Redirect by adding the filter function shown in this gist to your functions plugin:

Customizations for the Event Espresso 4 WP User Integration

This add-on is a plugin for WordPress and can be installed through your WP dashboard (WP-admin).

Download the latest version of the WP User integration for Event Espresso 3 from your Event Espresso account.

Setup and Configuration for EE3 WP User Integration

Login page (if different from default WordPress login page) – specify a custom login page for your attendees/registrants
Require login for all events? – your attendees/registrants will only be able to register for an event if they are logged in to your site
Make auto-filled fields editable – allow your registrants/attendees to update their information during registration checkout

Make changes as needed and then click on Save Settings. Note that these changes are optional.

Now you’ll need to give attendees/registrants a way navigate to the registration/log-in page. The default WordPress page for logging in is the same URL you use to log into your WordPress site: example.com/wp-login.php. The registration page URL is example.com/wp-login.php?action=register.

Add an event name along with a description and scroll down. You should see a pricing area. Create your pricing options and enter a non-member pricing along with member pricing. Note that both will be required for each pricing option that is created. Then be sure to save changes to your event.

Non-member and Member price fields

Member profiles

The Members add-on uses the WordPress Users –> Your Profile screen to allow members to store their personal information for quick event registration. A special section is added to this screen that has the additional form fields to store address information. After these are filled out and saved, the information will be auto-filled for returning logged in members.

My Events Screen

After a member registers for an event, a record of their registrations is available to view on the My Events screen. Here they can review the date and times of the events, and make payments for events they’ve signed up for. If the custom ticket add-on is installed, tickets can be downloaded for each of these events.

My events screen

My Events Shortcode

[ESPRESSO_MY_EVENTS]

This shortcode allows you to create a front facing page for members to see their current and past events.
It has functionality for users to select events that still require payment and allows users to pay, cancel events, as well as perform the standard sort and search functions. Members can also access their profile via this page.

Usage: Create a new post or page in WordPress and add the shortcode and publish. Logged in members will see their details.

Tip:
You can use a separate plugin such as S2Member, to hide the page content from non members.

Ticketing Add-on Documentation

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

The Ticketing add-on for Event Espresso allows you to customize your own tickets and create custom tickets for different events.

View quick links for this add-on –>

Need to Buy a Support License for the Ticketing Add-on?
https://eventespresso.com/product/espresso-ticketing/

Installation

This add-on requires Event Espresso 3.1.33 or newer. It cannot be used with old versions of Event Espresso 3.

This add-on is a plugin for WordPress and can be installed through your WP dashboard (WP-admin).

Download the latest version of the Ticketing add-on for Event Espresso 3 from your Event Espresso account.

Setup and Configuration

This page (Templates overview screen) shows all available templates for tickets. To create a new ticket click on Add New. You’ll then be brought to the ticket template editor and the options on the screen are explained below:

Ticket Name – Enter the name of your ticket here.
Select Stylesheet – Various styles are available. Select one here.
Select a Template – Various templates are available. Select one here.
Add a Logo – Click on Upload Image to upload an image that will be used on your ticket.
Ticket Description/Instructions – Use this field to enter information that will be displayed on an attendees/registrants ticket.

Be sure to save changes after making changes.

Once your ticket template has been created, you can go to an event in the event editor and then select your ticket template and save changes. Event Espresso will then use this ticket template for this event.

Usage

The Ticketing add-on will makes managing your event so much easier. Create tickets that can be printed or displayed on smartphones, and then use your own smartphone to scan the QR codes at the door.

Speed up entry to your event by quickly scanning QR codes with your smartphone instead of ticking names off a list.
Use Gravatar to display attendee photographs on tickets.
Have multiple entry stations that synchronize in real-time.
Go green! Attendees can display tickets on their own smartphones.
Don’t pay for expensive equipment. You can have automated ticket scanners all from a device you already own.
Have fully branded tickets with your own logo.

Editing Ticket Templates

New to the ticket template editor? Learn how to create a basic custom ticket

In most cases the basic template should suffice. It will display details of the event, including the map, QR code, and Gravatar. However, in case you want to do some advanced editing, we have provided a list of shortcodes which you can use to customize your template files. These shortcodes cannot be inserted into the text area in the ticket editor.

Your templates are located in wp-content/espresso-ticketing/templates

If you are making changes to the templates, then everything in this folder should be copied to wp-content/uploads/espresso/tickets/templates

You can then insert shortcodes into the PHP file and create your own templates, without having to worry about them being overwritten when you update the ticketing add-on.

Custom Questions and Answers Template Tags

The custom questions and answers can also be output using shortcodes. To use this feature, you will need to wrap the custom question text with ‘[answer_’ and ‘]’ within your HTML file.

Example:

[answer_A bunch of stuff]

[answer_This is a question]

[answer_Use any custom question you like]

Event Meta Template Tags

If you have added event meta to your events, and would like to display the values in the tickets templates. Just use the key names of the event meta to display the values, by adding square brackets (‘[‘ and ‘]‘) around the key names.

Here is an example:

Step 5: Add to Confirmation Email
Add the ticket link to your registration confirmation email. You can find this under Email Configuration at the bottom of the event editor screen. Choose to use a custom confirmation email.

Create your custom confirmation email and insert the [ticket_link] shortcode.

the QR code scanning screen on the android phone

The app will scan your attendees tickets, and let you know if their ticket is valid.

It will also automatically update your attendee list in the WordPress dashboard. Once you have scanned an attendee’s QR code, the person will be marked as having attended and will not be able to use that code again.

If anyone tries to use a ticket a second time it will be flagged up as declined. This prevents duplicates from being used.

You’re now ready to use your very own smartphone as a powerful piece of ticketing processing technology. How awesome is that?!

Troubleshooting

The plugin will not activate. Can you help?
Are you running a current version of Event Espresso 3?

I can’t login to the mobile app!
Please ensure that Event Espresso 3, the Ticketing app, and the Espresso JSON API add-on are up-to-date. Next, be sure that you are using the Event Espresso HD App. User roles of Administrator and Espresso Master Admin are the only roles that can login to the mobile apps.

My attendees are not receiving a ticket link in their registration confirmation emails.
Did you add the ticket link shortcode to the event registration confirmation email? If not, take at the tutorial shown earlier in this article.

MailChimp Integration

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

Connect MailChimp with Event Espresso, so your attendees are sent to a MailChimp list after a successful registration for your events. Afterward, you can keep attendees updated by sending information about future events or even invite attendees to register for upcoming events.

View quick links for this integration –>

The old documentation for Event Espresso 3 is available here.

Need to buy a support license for the EE4 MailChimp integration?

Installation for the Event Espresso 4 MailChimp Integration

This add-on is a plugin for WordPress and can be installed through your WP dashboard (WP-admin).

Download the latest version of the MailChimp integration for Event Espresso 4 from your Event Espresso account.

Setup and Configuration for the EE4 MailChimp Integration

From your WP dashboard, go to Event Espresso —> MailChimp Settings.

Adding your MailChimp API Key

1. If you do not already have an API Key for MailChimp, then one will need to be created. First, log in to your MailChimp.com account. Then go to your Account dashboard and locate Extras –> API Keys.

2. Click the Create a Key button and a MailChimp API Key will be created for you. Now copy the entire API Key.

3. Then login to your WP dashboard and go to Event Espresso –> Add-ons –> MailChimp. Then paste the API Key into the field and click on Save.

4. MailChimp API Options – There is an option as shown in the screenshot above to skip the double opt-in emails. By default, the option is unchecked (disabled). If it is enabled, then Event Espresso will immediately add an attendee/registrant to a specific list in MailChimp, and they will not need to confirm via email.

5. Submit to MailChimp when – select your preferred option for when attendees/registrant should be added to a specific list on MailChimp. The default option to add when a registration is completed with an approved status. Other options include registration is completed (payment status does not matter) and subscribed submits information.

Usage for the Event Espresso 4 MailChimp Integration

Now when you are creating or editing an event, you will have a MailChimp List box. This drop-down menu allows you to specify which MailChimp mailing list to add the attendees too. The list must already exist, so if you want to have each event have a separate list, you will first need to create the lists in MailChimp. Event Espresso 4 will pass the attendee’s first name, last name, and their email address to MailChimp.

Groups

You can also set up the groups within the lists in your MailChimp account. Once groups are set up within a list, you select that list in the Event editor in the MailChimp List integration box. Once a list that has groups is selected a new select box will appear below that will let you select a group.

List merge fields (new feature in Event Espresso 4)

Event Espresso 4 allows you to use custom merge fields within your MailChimp lists and then select which question’s answer should be sent for which merge field. So for example within your MailChimp list you need to collect the company name, so you set this as an extra merge field within your list and set it to required:

The EE4 MailChimp integration will display these merge fields within the MailChimp integration box, and allow you to select which question’s answer should be sent for which field:

Note:
When you initially create your event, all of the question dropdowns will display ‘none’, this is because no questions are assigned to your event until it has been created. Once you save the event (either publish or save as draft) all of the questions from within your assigned question groups will be available to select in the dropdowns.

Troubleshooting the Event Espresso 4 MailChimp Integration

The plugin does not work as expected. Can you help?
Please double-check your API Key that is entered into the MailChimp settings page within your WordPress dashboard. Ensure that no extra spacing appears before or after the API Key.

Customizations for the Event Espresso 4 MailChimp Integration

Our support team cannot write custom coding for you. Below are some examples on customizing this integration.

Raise list limit from 25 to 50 lists

function tw_limit_mailchimp_list_call( $params, $mailchimp_controler ) {
    $params['limit'] = 50;
    return $params;

}
add_filter( 'FHEE__EE_MCI_Controller__mci_get_users_lists__list_params', 'tw_limit_mailchimp_list_call', 10, 2 );
