Multiday events

[TJ]

We have a number of events that occur over a number of days and occasionally span a weekend, such as Friday, Monday, Tuesday. We also have events on the weekend, so we can’t just display weekdays. Can you suggest a way other that putting the same event everyday on the calendar?

We also occasionally have an event over the course of two months, such as 3 days in June and then 2 more days in July. The issue is that we have no easy way to display this without putting them in on each day and then only allowing them to register via the first date. Can you suggest any better way to handle this?

One more related issue is that we allow people to register up until the day before. Your system allow them to register all the way through so we have to manually remove our registration link. Any suggestions on that?

Thanks,

TJ

It sounds like recurring events would work the way you want. It allows you to contain multiple events inside a single series, and thus any registration for it will apply for all dates. If you have an event for three days in June set that up, then add the two days in July as another recurrence, perhaps as single date occurences. More detail can be found here: PRO Recurring Events

One more related issue is that we allow people to register up until the day before. Your system allow them to register all the way through so we have to manually remove our registration link. Any suggestions on that?

I am assuming you are using Event Tickets  for the registration. If so the End Sale field that appears when you add a ticket/RSVP allows you to specify the last date that a user san signup. Simply set this to the date you need and sales should discontinue at that time.

Does that all make sense? Did  that work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!
