Let me try re-posting this with more detailed information (and better spelling I hope.. **LOL**):

Interesting.. I just updated to the same version of Firefox today, and I cannot replicate this same issue.. All my Event names are just fine when I export.. The file names end up looking as I expect based on the code:
[Event Name]-Payments_[Report Date]_[Report Time].xls

So if I download a file today (04/10/2010 at 9:17 am) for an event titled “The 2nd Adult Cooking Class”, the download file name would be:
The 2nd Adult Cooking Class-Payments_2010-04-09_0917.xls

So I won’t necessarily be making this change just yet.. I will be doing more QAing of the plugin to determine if I need to make this change 1st..

In the meantime, I wanted to ask something.. You state that you replaced the code on (or around) line 826 with this code:
$filename = str_replace(" ", "_", $event_name)."-Payments_". $today ;

shouldn’t it in fact read this:
$filename = str_replace(" ", "_", $event_name)."-Payments_". $today . ".xls";

I’m having a challenge with users not being able to register for the event using the Advanced Events Registration plugin. After they fill out the form the page displays a message that says: “Nothing found here”. I can’t find anything in documentation that covers this. Is there anything that I missed?

Just a guess, but it sounds like you do not have your “Thank You” page set up correctly.. Read back over the instructions that explain how to set up your three re-direct pages for the following:

1. Cancelled Payments
2. Payment Notifications
3. Thank You for Payment/Registration

I have similar problem, my page shows nothing and “Attendee&Payment” shows zero attendee

FYI, your issue does NOT sound even close to being the same issue as what the OP is reporting.. Please don’t take this wrong, but instead of hi-jacking the OPs post you should report you issue separately (as I see you did do..) This way anyone who can help will be able to help both you and the OP..

• When you say all required fields does that include the appropriate PayPal information??
• Is your event setup as a PAID event or a free event?
• A link to your site would be helpful..

Wow.. reading is fundamental.. Let me re-state and clarify part of what I’ve written here:

It seems to me that if payment is required to register for a that the event registration itself should be canceled if the payment is canceled or if the registrant failed to initiate the payment at the time of registration. (it should be noted that if the registrant does not click the “Pay Registration Fee” button after filling out the registration form that they shown as an unpaid registrant for the event)

This SHOULD read:
It seems to me that if payment is required to register, that the event registration itself should be canceled if:

1. The payment is canceled (abandoned at the PayPal window)
2. If the registrant failed to initiate the payment AT ALL at the time of registration.

But at the VERY LEAST, if the registrant abandons the payment (either because the registrant abandoned the process at the PayPal window or failed to initiate the payment at all), the plugin should NOT mark the registrant as paid (which is what it does now and what the OP was trying to inquire about). Instead the plugin should mark these registrants as UNPAID registrants (because that IS what they are).

The correct behavior IMHO is that if an event requires a payment to attend and the payment is not made at the time of registration (either because the registrant canceled the payment or failed to initiate the payment) then the registration is incomplete and the registrant will NOT be registered for the event. If site owners want to know about these abandoned registrants, then perhaps incomplete registrations can be logged along with completed registrations, and the registrant should be notified of the incomplete registration status.

This should read:
The correct behavior IMHO should be as follows:

1. If an event requires a payment to attend and the payment is not made at the time of registration (either because the registrant canceled the payment or failed to initiate the payment at all) then the registration is marked incomplete and the registrant will NOT be registered for the event.
2. The plugin should include a count/notification/tracking for these particular abandoned registrations.
3. The registrant should also be automatically notified of the incomplete registration status.
4. The notification should provide the registrant to a link that allows him to complete (pay for) his event registration.

One more thing.. I removed the e-mail address as this is a habit that I have of not posting e-mail addresses on any site so that scrapers and spambots cannot get my client’s email address..

Strangely this issue DISAPPEARED.. Weird..

I too can confirm this behavior.

Here’s the steps I took to produce this.

1. Register for event
2. Click the “Pay Registration Fee” button.
3. I am directed to the PayPal page to begin payment
4. Click the “Cancel and return to” link that takes me back to the payment cancellation page.

The person will be registered as an unpaid attendee when viewed from the “Attendees and Payments” page. However the registrant shows on the admin dashboard widget as paid.

See screenprint here.

I’ll test on the Windows Vista machine I discovered this issue on tomorrow.. So far this was tested in Windows 7 and Windows XP..

Confirmed that the posted CSS change works on the Vista machine where I discovered this issue. Click “here” to see the screenprint

Altogether, I tested the posted fix at various screen resolutions and in various browsers/operating systems. The only screen resolution which does NOT work well is 800×600. I’m sure some additional CSS tweaks would bring the layout around in that resolution as well.. However, given that most of my clients will not be using such a small screen resolution, I did not put any effort into how to make the layout work at 800×600.

Tested CSS changes against the following browsers:

1. Firefox
2. Internet Explorer (v7 & v8)

Tested CSS changes on the following operating systems:

1. Windows XP
2. Windows Vista
3. Windows 7

Have not tested on Mac platform/browsers, but I don’t imagine there will be issues with Mac operating systems since this was largely a CSS issue/fix.

Hope someone else finds this useful.. It was driving me batty, and I COULD NOT show this plugin to my client looking the way it did. (I am trying to do a proof of concept for a client to convince her to purchase the full version of this plugin.. Hence my anal need to fix the look.. ?? )

Here’s what the Organization Settings layout looks like now with the changes posted above.. In case anyone is interested:

HUGE improvement!!!

Scratch my last post.. After doing some additional testing I found that it may not be the the FULL solution to the layout issues on the Organization Settings page.. So after a bit of trial and error, I made some additional changes that seem to have resolved the admin layout issues.. Wanted to post this in case anyone else is having the same layout issues..

I made all of the following modifications to the plugin stylesheet

From:
div#event_regis-col-left { float:left; margin:40px 10px 0 0; }
To:
div#event_regis-col-left { float:left; margin:40px 10px 0 0; width:60%;}

From:
ul#event_regis-sortables li { list-style-type:none; margin:0 300px 20px 0; position:relative; }
To:
ul#event_regis-sortables li { list-style-type:none; margin:0 20px 20px 0; position:relative; }

From:
div#event_regis-col-right { clear:none; float:left; margin:40px 0 0; position:absolute; right:1.3%; width:189px; }
To:
div#event_regis-col-right { clear:none; float:left; margin:40px 0 0; width:189px; }

After making these changes, the admin looks 100% better in all resolutions except 800 X600 (which none of my clients would be using anyway). I’ll test on the Windows Vista machine I discovered this issue on tomorrow.. So far this was tested in Windows 7 and Windows XP.. There are no more overlaps, and the left column doesn’t push the right column out to the north 40.. Hope someone else finds this useful..

FYI, I strongly suggest getting the Firefox developer tools.. This set of tools was IMMENSELY helpful in running this problem down..

So I figured out PART of the layout issue. If I change
div#event_regis-col-right { clear:none; float:left; margin:40px 0 0; position:absolute; right:1.3%; width:256px; }
to this:
div#event_regis-col-right { clear:none; float:left; margin:40px 0 0; position:absolute; right:1.3%; width:189px; }

The the right column no longer overlaps the left.. However, the left column is WAAAAAAY too wide still (adding a width to div#event_regis-col-left does not do the trick) , and I’d sure like to know how to adjust it. Any help?? Hints??? I would be sooo grateful thanks…

Let me try re-posting this again with all the corrections I forgot to include:

I am still trying to get this working so that I can do a proof of concept with my client so that she will buy the Pro version.. I could use some assistance..

Though I initially had issues activating this plugin, I tried re-activating this from a different computer and it activated.. Once activated I did initially get an error on the Organization Settings page that referenced this file:
“wp-admin/admin.php?page=advanced-events-registration/event_regis.php”

I refreshed my browser, and the error mysteriously went away.. Now there are only two remaining problems.. Hoping that someone can help with these..

1. The lay out of the Organization Settings page is wonky: The right column overlaps the left and interferes with some data entry functionality.. The problem only goes away when I change my computer’s display resolution. (However, I’d like that NOT to be the answer..) How can I fix the layout on this page so that the right column doesn’t overlap.. (See screenprint to see what I mean)

2. Errors on Attendees/Payments page as follows:
   

   Fatal error: Call to a member function show() on a non-object in /home/content/DIRECTORY REMOVED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES/ypom/wp-content/plugins/advanced-events-registration/includes/admin_process_payments.php on line 128

   Screen print of error:
   https://i43.tinypic.com/qrf447.png
   This error shows when there are no events setup. The minute I added one test event, this error went away..

   The reverse is also true. Once I deleted my test event, the error returned.

I tried re-activating this from a different computer and it activated.. (for whatever mysterious reason..)
