Conditional seats display

It al depends on what you want: if you have #_SEATS{1} and #_SEATS{2}, it means you have multiple types of seats to sell. If the only goal is to provide a discount, you don’t need this.
Just create #_SEATS and use the code-type discount while checking the value of your custom field. I even added a working example for this @ https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/discounts/ (read the chapter on ‘Discount filters (code type discount)’

Franky,
Thanks a lot for the quick reply. Yes, I thought I could do with a discount as a workaround, but the problem is that none of the examples I tried from the docs work. I add the code to my functions.php file, customize the details (i.e. the custom field name) but nothing happens, the total stays the same.
Unfortunately I’m testing it on a local environment and I’m not able to send you a link.
I know I’m probably missing something obvious…

Did you create the discount with that name and type “code”? And did you assign that discount to your event?

Yes, I created a coupon with the same name and details of the example (if I understood the docs correctly: name “testdiscount2”, type “code”) and only changed the Custom field name and answer. Obviously I changed the details also in the functions.php. I also assigned the discount to the RSVP tab in the Event entry. See code below (“si” is the answer, “UNPLI” the fieldname)

function my_eme_discount_function($booking) {
    $calculated_discount=0;
    $coupon="";
    // calculate your stuff based on the booking and answers arrays
    // and return the discount. A starting example:
    $answers=eme_get_booking_answers($booking['booking_id']);
    foreach ($answers as $answer) {
        if ($answer['field_name'] == "UNPLI") {
               $coupon = $answer['answer'];
        }
    }
    // now check $coupon for your wanted value and do the discount ($booking has all the booking info)
    if ($coupon == "si") {
            // return a total discount of 30%
            $calculated_discount=$booking['event_price']*$booking['booking_seats']*.3;
    }
    return $calculated_discount;
}
add_filter('eme_discount_testdiscount2','my_eme_discount_function');

Nothing happens. The total updates but no discount is applied. I’m not very skilled in php, so – again – I may have missed something obvious.

Code works just fine, but: no dynamic price updates with discount type code. So when you actually make the booking, it should be ok.
Edit: the next version will contain code so dynamic price updates work too for code-type discounts, and editing of the resulting discount will work too in the backend.
That will require a small change in the filter (one-line change), but that will be explained in the changelog.

Hello Franky, I’ve just re-tested everything but when I make the booking there’s no discount, PayPal is always charging full price. I think I’ll use the 2 seats solution with no conditional for the moment. If you need me to do other tests I’ll be more than happy to help.

Paypal usage is new info ??
Did you check the price in the EME backend? Is it correct there?

Ops, sorry, my fault, I should have made it clear that I was using PayPal.
Anyway: even in the EME backend I can see only the full price. No discount is applied.
Also the registration form is not storing the #_NAME field in the People and Change Registration table, but it is displaying it correctly in the confirmation email. I guess EME is storing this info in two different place? Maybe the same thing is happening with the discount?

Well, I tried this code:

function my_eme_discount_function2($booking) {
    $calculated_discount=0;
    $coupon="";
    // calculate your stuff based on the booking and answers arrays
    // and return the discount. A starting example:
    $answers=eme_get_booking_post_answers($booking);
    foreach ($answers as $answer) {
        if ($answer['field_name'] == "testveld") {
               $coupon = $answer['answer'];
        }
    }
    // now check $coupon for your wanted value and do the discount ($booking has all the booking info)
    if ($coupon == "L") {
            // return a total discount of 30%
            $calculated_discount=$booking['event_price']*$booking['booking_seats']*.3;
    }
    return $calculated_discount;
}
add_filter('eme_discount_testdiscountcode2','my_eme_discount_function2');

And it works just fine … based on your problems, I’m guessing some small error is blocking you. You should check your webserver logfiles (and optionally your browser console) for possible errors. A good WP plugin that aids in debugging is query-monitor .
