That explains why it didn’t work ?? Thanks!

Tara, you are wonderful! Worked like a charm the first time.
Thank you as well Jose. I am learning more and more as I go along.

Sounds good – it only happened the one time. Hopefully it was just Murphy having some fun.

I did not get any screencaps. I got a message from the payment gateway that somebody had paid for the class. Took me by surprise as the class was full – and showing as full. I don’t know how to add a class directly to Cart66. I will check on the cache issue.

I LOVE the support I get for this widget. It makes things so much easier to track enrollment.

Since everything is working right now – I will wait to do an update as you suggest. Thanks again for the support.

Thanks John –
The Student status: “Dropped” means they started a class (paid in full or maybe partial), but did not finish it (classes are held over several weeks) That would be handy to know because if someone has started and dropped (or no show for that matter) several times, then I like to have some indicator of that so we can decide if we will allow them to yet again register.

Planned Classes – We would like to be able to post a 3 month schedule of classes, so people can plan ahead. We do not want to have registration more than about a month out. Because our classes are 6 weeks long, this would allow us to post the next class, and one more out so people can see if they miss this one, how long the wait will be for the next one. I don’t want to actually start registration until the next class has started or filled up.

Payments – adding Partial and Unpaid to the list would be great. Because Promised & 3rd party are more specific to our needs – what about an “Other” status? At least then we would know which participant to go look for more information. If there was a comment field I think that would be great too. Not only could it be used for weird payment arrangements, but also note any sort of disability related accommodation or other special circumstances.

The Current Class list – I guess I am looking for a work around for human error. I thought using “enrolling now” for DETAIL would be a way to do resolve the issue. I have had to set up the classes for one day. A class that starts Oct 19 and has weekly sessions until Nov 23 is listed only for Oct 19. Otherwise, the system will allow some one to try and register for class #3 or #4. If there was some way to only allow enrollment for Class #1 that would be the best answer. Again, it may be that I just don’t know how to properly use all the features ??

I appreciate all your help more than you know.

Thanks so much John. I don’t know if these help anyone else, but they certainly help me a lot. As last time, I am just going to throw out things that I would find helpful. I have no idea how easy/hard any of it would be to implement – I figure, I can always ask…doesn’t mean that I will get it ??

Suggested tweaks:
– New student status: “no show” and “dropped”
These two are important for my classes. People that no show the first class are treated differently when they try to register for a new class. There is also about a 50% drop rate over the course of the class. I’d like to show that both these registered for the class, but did not complete.

– New class status “planned”
This would allow me to set up a whole quarter of classes, but keep “planned” classes from being enroll-able until they are switched to OPEN

– Added payment status: “3rd party”, “Partial”, “Promised”
Class list now shows PAID or nothing. I have some people who are having the class paid for by a 3rd party, so for us that means they are “paid” but I hesitate to mark them that way since the payment has not arrived. It can take several weeks for payment to arrive. PARTIAL – currently a feature in Class Dex, just not listed as a status. That means people who have partially paid look just like those who have not paid. The third one is for people who have promised to pay by a certain date. I have one that is calling back today (after payday) to pay for the class. I’d like to incorporate that into this – and get rid of the sticky notes on my desk.

– Current Class list filtered by Detail filed (Detail, Detail 1, etc)
What I want – to generate a list of classes “now enrolling” which I have on Detail check box.

Again, I really appreciate you considering these.

John – you are the best. I am out of panic mode, and getting things ready for Tuesday.

Sometime, I have some minor tweaks I’d like to send you to see if they can get incorporated in an upcoming version. Or maybe the features are already there, I just don’t know how to find them.

After reading the above – I went in turned off all plugins <save> then reactivated only Cart 66 & Class Dex.
I tried to edit an existing class. Got the error.
I tried to add a new class (all new information) and also got the same error.

Like I said, since the last time it worked (and it did) I have changed lots of things. I also have a new theme. I even changed that back to Twenty Twelve – Still had the same error message adding a completely new class. Note: The class *does* get added into Class Dex even with the error message.

One other thing I just remembered. Before all this, I had one person use Cart66 to enroll/pay for a class. It took his money, but did not “enroll” him in the class. I had to do that manually. I was going to wait and see if it happened again before bringing it up.

Question: For now, can I add the classes two times (Class Dex & Cart66)? and at least not screw things up any more than they already are? I have 5 new classes to post and advertising starts Tuesday, so I’d like to have this ready to go. Or, let me know it will not work by then, and I will come up with a Plan B.

WOW! If nothing else, I am impressed by the fast response! I will hold off on making any decisions for the rest of th eweek so I can check this promising plugin out.

– Joan

Turned off all plug-ins except WPTouch. Cleared cache. Same result. Any other suggestions?

Thank you – I will track it down.

You are AWESOME!!

Here it is working.

I wish every author was as responsive as you are.

So I re-think my normal ID numbers. You say “not happening”, I’m good with that ?? I am very aware what seems simple on the user side can be a nightmare on the back-end.

The new display is great! It is much easier to read. It still looks a bit funny to have the Class so connected to the instructor name: RentWell-Joan. If I was formatting it myself, I would prefer to see it like this: RentWell (Joan) That makes a clear distinction between the class title and the instructor name. It would also be adaptable to pretty much and class set up I could see someone using the “instructor” field to specify some sort of class restriction: like Women only, Member only, Public, etc. Is that something I can change in the CSS?
