Request conditional placeholder: Bookings Open / Bookings Closed

    Hello,

    It would be great to have conditional placeholders for: {bookings_open} and {bookings_closed}.

    These would be really useful in combination with the ‘Booking Cut-Off Date’ .

    {bookings_open} would check if it is possible to book this event: if bookings are enabled and any spaces or tickets are available and the Booking Cut-off Date has not passed.

    Once the Booking Cut-off Date has passed then {bookings_closed} would be useful. It would check if any seats or tickets are still available, but the booking cut-off date has passed:

    For example:

    {bookings_closed} Online bookings are closed but tickets are still available at the door. {/bookings_closed}

    Since the Event Cut-off Date happens before the event the {is_past} placeholder doesn’t help.

    {bookings_closed} would also be really useful in cases where tickets are only available at the door. The Booking Cut-off date could be set to ‘now’ so that all online bookings are closed. However, the bookings section could still be used to set and display ticket prices.

    Example:

    {bookings_closed}Tickets are available at the door only. {/bookings_closed

    I did read through the tutorial on creating conditional placeholders but sadly it is beyond me to create these two placeholders.

    Thank you.

    yes, you can use conditional placeholders like

    {fully_booked} content {/fully_booked}
    {bookings_open} content {/bookings_open}
    {bookings_closed} content {/bookings_closed}

    Thank you,

    Do you mean that these placeholders already exist or that I need to create them?

    I don’t think I am able to create them, and am just suggesting some new ones.

    From your site:

    If there are any conditional placeholders you feel are missing, feel free to suggest them! We’ll be regularly expanding this list, so if it’s useful to others we’ll probably add it at some point.

    Thank you.

    yes, you can already use the conditional placeholders I shared although not yet in the documentation but were going to add that for sure.
