Recurring events flexibility and german translation

    Hi all,
    first I have to say I found events manager yesterday and already loving it ??

    As native speaker I spend some hours completely fixing the (horrible) german language file and happy to contribute it.

    But now to my question: I’m building a website for a dance school. They have this booking scheme: you book courses for 5 fixed weeks. They happen once a week, so you pay in advance for 5 visits. A week before they end, new 5 week courses with different levels/times/days in week get published.

    This could be mapped a single event for the whole 5 week course in event manager resulting in a single ticket to book. In this case you lose the exact mapping of the single visit dates of the course to the calendar.

    Or you could create one 5 week course as a recurring event, resulting in all visit dates nicely spread over the calendar view, but having each single visit date as one event with separate ticket booking, which is also not what we want.

    What would be a good solution for this? Is there an easy patch for event calendar to achieve both: exact calendar entries for all visits bur only one ticket to book for the 5 visit course?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • hi,

    don’t know if this helps but maybe you can try this; Create a ‘master’ event with all the booking information you want.It could even be the first event of your set, which would be a ‘single’ event.

    Then, create a recurring set of events without bookings enabled, and in your description, you add

    [event event=”x”]#_BOOKINGFORM[/event]

    where x is the event id (or use post_id=”x”) so you will still see same booking form for all your events, and manage bookings from that one event.

    Firstly, thanks for contributing! Don’t know what’s up with Germany this past week or so, but I’ve had some 5 people offering to do the translation ??

    however, we’re just about done rolling out GlotPress for translations and German is already up to date – https://translate.netweblogic.com/projects/events-manager

    still in final testing stages soon we’ll make it ‘public’ so this sort of thing doesn’t happen.

    you can sign up and contribute the remaining translations (which are new lines in our dev version) and one of the validators will eventually approve them.

    thanks for the quick hint. If there is no other way I will try this. My plan though is to make creating new events of this type as easy as possible for the user. In this case, it would also be helpful, if there was a way to store a list of default tickets besides the “Standard-Ticket”.

    yes, you can try this snippet – https://pastebin.com/c3uXvS2Q

    *paste in your theme functions.php
