Custom prevent canceling?

    Hi,

    I’m trying to find a way to prevent an attendee from Canceling, but when within a certain time from the start of the event. I see that once an event starts the user cannot cancel, but we want to prevent a cancel, say, at the 1 hour mark before an event starts.

    I looked a bit into hooks that might work for this. I found a post referencing the “em_booking_set_status” hook. I can hook into that, and see that it’s running my code, but there seems to be no way to use that to cancel the cancel. It looks like it’s not actually used until after the cancel is already processed, so I guess I need something that triggers BEFORE the cancel is processed, and will let me stop it, preferably with a message back to the user. Is there a hook that is appropriate for that?

    Or, if there is already a setting somewhere that lets me do this, that would be great, but I don’t see anything (this is for recurring events, by the way).

    Thanks!

    Well, answering my own question… I figured out two way to do this after a good night’s sleep. ?? Just in case it helps anyone else, here goes:

    I found I can put in a custom template for my-bookings.php, and add an extra condition to the spot where it’s deciding whether or not to display “Cancel”. Something like…

    $oneHourFromNow = current_time('timestamp') + 3600;
if( !in_array($EM_Booking->booking_status, array(2,3)) && get_option('dbem_bookings_user_cancellation') && $EM_Event->get_bookings()->has_open_time() && $EM_Event->start > $oneHourFromNow){...}

    Or, I saw that in the same template file there was an apply_filter called for “em_my_bookings_booking_actions”. I tried that too. It seemed to work, and I supposed I could have used that to do a test and blank out the link if necessary, but “booking_actions” sounded more generic than I was comfortable with. I thought it might be applied in more cases than just the cancel link, so I opted for changing the my-bookings template page directly.
