Automatic update for increments?

The meetings are saved with absolute times, and the increments are created on the fly when you view the page. This means that the meeting times are independent of the increment amount.

You should be able to change them around and back. Below is an example on my test site of the same event switched (several times because I hit the wrong button to screen shot) from 15 to 30 to 60 and back again.

Please, do make sure you backup before making any major changes!!

Thanks for the speedy reply!

So to clarify, if we change our increment baseline amount to 15, rather than 30, we can change the default number of increments allotted for setup/cleanup from 1 to 2 – so we can still retain a default 30 minute buffer between events – but because we’ve changed that baseline amount from 30 to 15, that will allow us to schedule programs from, say, 10:00 – 10:15?

If you are changing your increments from 30 to 15 and making your normally 1 increment (30 minute) setup now 2 increments (still 30 minutes for 2 15 minute incs.), I don’t see that it would cause any problems.

But, again, back up!

The setup and cleanups are added on when you view the page, so this should work as planned.

Any news? Were you able to update the increment time?

Thank you for checking back in with us!

We decided against making the change; we would prefer to have more detailed control over our meetings but we book both our own meetings and outside meetings. Outside meetings are booked by the people hosting them and they do this by going in our website’s front end and selecting the time slots they need. With the increments set at 30, if they wanted 2-4, they’d only need to click 4 boxes; if we switched to 15 minute increments, they’d need to click 8. Of course that also makes the page itself super long so we decided to keep it the way it is.

Thank you again for your help!

I do have one more question though, and I think I’d be asking the right person in putting it here (I hope). It’s hard to say where our confusion lies when using multiple plugins.

We are using Gravity Forms to create forms that we can use to take in patron registration details. We are using your plugin to manage our events otherwise. So when we create an event, we are permitted to select whether registration is required – if we say yes, we are allowed to then choose the proper Gravity Form for the event. This form is included at the bottom of the event on the front end so patrons can fill it out.

Our issue is that sometimes we have an event that requires registration but we need the patron to come in face to face (usually when we’re collecting a fee). But if we indicate in our event that it’s required, we are forced to choose a form when we don’t really want one; we can make one that just has the patron acknowledge the need to come in or call but that’s not preferred. If we don’t indicate that registration is required, the event on the front end now says “Registration not required”. We can, of course, say it’s required in the description but this may be confusing and the space we have to describe our event is kind of small as it is.

Is there any way to have further customization over the registration area on the front end? A way to say it’s required but please call/come in?

I’m not exactly sure how you’re setting things up or what you have going on. Do you have a link that I could view?
