Default bookings = yes, not checked in event submit form

    Hi,

    I am using the free version and am trying to show the bookings fields automatically in the Add new event page.

    I have “Yes” in general settings Allow bookings, but the form here, section “Allow registration for this event” is unticked, hence the ticket fields are not showing. http://jedloinak.sk/pridat-jedlo-udalost/?action=edit

    The events for my use case ALWAYS want to have registration on, so I’m looking for an option to enable this for all new event submissions?

    I also tried editing the bookings.php template as per: http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/, created a new folder: /web/wp-content/themes/ascend_premium/plugins/events-manager/templates/bookings.php, but it is ignored by the plugin.

    I also tried recreating all the subfolders, no luck:
    /web/wp-content/themes/ascend_premium/plugins/events-manager/templates/forms/event/bookings.php

    In the original file: /web/wp-content/plugins/events-manager/templates/forms/event/bookings.php

    I can edit the default display:none; to display:block:, but that won’t stick after update:
    <div id="event-rsvp-options" style="<?php echo ($EM_Event->event_rsvp) ? '':'display:block;' ?>">

    and the checked flag doesn’t seem to work here:

    <input id="event-rsvp" name='event_rsvp' value='1' type='checkbox' <?php echo ($EM_Event->event_rsvp) ? 'checked="checked"' : ''; ?> />

    Does the template folder system not work for the free version? Or can I change the display: property somehow using a custom function?

    If I buy the PRO version, will it work?

    Separate question about PRO – the features say that I can customise the form by adding fields. Can I also hide fields?

    thanks,
    Lukas

    Hi Lukas,

    The template system works for both versions of the plugin.

    Are you trying customize the add event page in admin or the event submission form on the front-end site?

    The Pro Forms Editor lets you add or remove form fields for all aspects of the booking and registration forms.

    Hi Caimin,

    I am trying to customize the add event submission form on the front-end site. Am I correct in editing bookings.php in /plugins/events-manager/templates/forms/event/?

    I only need a small change, so will see if editing the template will suffice, if not, I’ll go for the PRO version.

    Thanks,
    Lukas

    thanks Angelo – your path is missing one folder /templates/, check the documentation again – I am using the correct path (checked it so many times) and nothing happens (in my bookings.php under that path, I changed the code, but it’s not picked up).

    tried these:

    /web/wp-content/themes/ascend_premium/plugins/events-manager/templates/bookings.php, but it is ignored by the plugin.

    I also tried recreating all the subfolders, no luck:
    /web/wp-content/themes/ascend_premium/plugins/events-manager/templates/forms/event/bookings.php

    Or is the documentation incorrect and I should NOT use the /templates/ folder?

    Your last path should work. Are you using a child theme?

    What changes are you making to test the path is working?

    My path is: /web/wp-content/themes/ascend_premium/plugins/events-manager/templates/forms/event/bookings.php

    I have removed the first code: 

    <div id="event-rsvp-box">
	<input id="event-rsvp" name='event_rsvp' value='1' type='checkbox' <?php echo ($EM_Event->event_rsvp) ? 'checked="checked"' : ''; ?> />
	&nbsp;&nbsp;
	<?php _e ( 'Enable registration for this event', 'events-manager')?>
</div>

    and changed “none” to “block” here:
    <div id="event-rsvp-options" style="<?php echo ($EM_Event->event_rsvp) ? '':'display:none;' ?>">

    but the changes weren’t picked up. If I make the same changes in original bookings.php (in the plugin folder), it works.

    Although this has now resolved itself via another route – I changed the setting to allow only 1 ticket per event, so now by default the fields I want to show are shown.

    Therefore this isn’t a blocking issue now, I guess we can leave it if it doesn’t cause problems for anyone else.
