Frontend event editor form questions

    Hi,

    Some questions:

    I have some locations with 2 to 4 available rooms… Is there a possibility to show if a room is free or occupied on the event editor form (event-editor.php)?

    I would like to have booking automatically activated without form choice and coupon option popping up. Is this somehow possible?

    As we have only 4 types of events with 4 categories it would be handy to set the category title as the event title. Any ideas?

    Sorry, there’s some complicated stuff, but thanks in advance 🙂
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    EM User here too.

    To change (the display of) the Event title, you need to edit your theme file. Change the_title() to something like echo $EM_Event->output(#_CATEGORYNAME');
    Keep in mind that technically, bookings etc. are always linked to the event_id and post_id, and that every post_id needs a unique slug, so you should never try to re-use the slug for events (or posts or pages for that matter).

    What do you mean “booking automatically activated”? You will always need a booking form, else how are you to know who’s booking it and where to send the confirmation?
    The coupon field (Pro feature, btw) is only shown if you have created coupons. If you are not using them ever, delete them from the dashboard. The field will automatically be hidden.

    Events Manager is not an availability tool. So there is no built-in option to check room occupations. Basically what you are saying is: “The room is always available, except…. when it’s booked.”
