Hi Ricardo,

That is a setting you choose in the Type dropdown for the widget. Here’s more information on all the available settings for the widget that cover that in more detail:

Hey Peter, thanks for following up and happy Friday!

There’s totally no need for the ecommerce system for RSVPs, but you will need Event Tickets Plus for custom fields in the registration process. Without it, attendees can still update their own information, but only to change the RSVP from Going to Not Going. Event Tickets Plus will allow you to add more fields and for attendees to edit those fields that information if they need to.

It’s also worth noting that manually created RSVPs is a slightly different process. Since the order process for an RSVP happens completely on the front-end, you would need to complete the registration form for that person on the front end instead of the back end. In other words, there are no back-end options to manually create an RSVP attendee, but you can fake it by completing the form for them on the front end.

Does this clarify things a bit more?

Cheers!
Geoff

Oh shoot, I’m afraid that complete front-end management of attendees is not a feature at this time. I was trying to think of some workarounds but also came up short because it would take quite a bit of custom development to pull off.

Sorry about that, but I hope this at least helps answer your question. Did you have any other questions about the attendee check in process? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Geoff

[Geoff]

Excellent, thanks for working with me on this Jason! I’ll go ahead and close this thread, but please do feel free to open a new one if any questions come up while your web developer is digging in, such as how any of the code inside the calendar templates work, and we’d be happy to help as best we can.

Cheers and have a great day!

Hey Colin,

Yeah, I’m afraid that it’s not yet possible for an admin to go in and edit the attendee’s information directly. At the moment, only the attendees themselves can go in and edit their own information.

I thought it might be possible to create a new order in WooCommerce directly and edit the information in there, but that’s not a possibility either.

So sorry I don’t have a workaround for this! I do see an open request for this in our feature request forum and I’d encourage you to add your vote. It looks like a good handful of other would like to see this as well, so adding your vote will be a huge help.

Thanks,
Geoff

Thanks for following up, James! Custom development is definitely a place to start. I also wonder if something like WooCommerce’s Dynamic Pricing module might also be helpful for making that work.

I’ll go ahead and close this thread but please feel free to let us know if any other questions pop up — we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers and have a great day!

Hi Jason,

Thanks for clarifying!

I think we’re starting to border on some custom development. In other words, the theme has a specific template in use and to get the same exact look and layout will require customizing the calendar;s templates in a way that uses the same sort of code and markup.

We’re fairly limited in how much we can support custom development questions like this, but I’d be happy to point you in the right direction as best I can.

In this case, I think a good starting point would be to override the calendar’s default-template.php and single-event.php templates. To do that:

• Make a copy of both files. They are located in the wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views folder.
• Make a new folder in your theme called tribe-events
• Move both of the copied template files in that folder

Now that the templates are in your theme, they can be modified to suit your needs. In this case, borrowing code from your theme’s page templates that places the calendar’s components (such as the title) so that they appear the same in the calendar’s templates as they do in other theme page templates.

Sorry I don’t have more of a concrete solution for you, but will this at least help get you started? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Geoff

Hey Colin, great questions!

It’s actually possible to edit the attendee information after the purchase — although it requires that the attendee change that information. For example, an attendee can log back into the site, visit the event page and clock on the “View your tickets” link (screenshot) and will take the attendee to a page where they can update their registration information. It’s also possible for that attendee to complete any information that was previously left out and save it.

Does this sound like it will do what you’re looking for? Please let me know.

Cheers!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Hey James, that’s a great question!

I’m afraid that custom fields for tickets will not dynamically change the price based on what options are selected. That’s a really solid idea though and one I’m surprised hasn’t come up before in here. If you add that to our feature request forum, then that is something we can certainly look into more and see how many others would also find that useful.

Sorry for the bad news, but does this at least help answer your question? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Geoff

[Geoff]

Hey Peter and welcome to the forums! I hope you’ve been enjoying Event Tickets and Event Ticket Plus so far — thanks for using them. 🙂

Good question. Each ticket sale is an order, so you can actually go into the ecommerce system you are using with Event Tickets Plus (e.g. WooCommerce) and add a new order manually in there to create a new attendee in the system.

If someone already has a ticket and the information for that attendee needs to be update, the attendee can actually do that by logging into the site, visiting the event page and clicking the “View my tickets” link (screenshot). That link will take the attendee to a page where they can edit their information, including any custom fields you created for the ticket.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hey Neil,

Absolutely! The ticket email can be overridden in your theme folder so that you can add that line of text in there. The instructions for that can be found in our Themer’s Guide but it basically boils down to this:

• Make a copy of the email.php file. It is located at /wp-content/plugins/event-tickets/src/views/tickets/email.php.
• Make a new folder in your theme (or child theme) folder called tribe-events
• Make a new folder in that one called tickets
• Drop the copied email.php template in that last folder

Now that the template is in your theme, you can modify it to suit your needs. In this case, add the line of text anywhere in the template you would like it to appear and that change will take place when emails are sent out.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi Jason,

CSS can also help here. For example, something like this:

#tribe-events-content {
background: #fff;
padding: 20px;
}

…for force the entire events template to use a white background and add some breathing room so the content doesn’t push right up to the edge. Here’s a screenshot of how that looks when in use on the main calendar and another screenshot of how that looks on an event post.

Cheers!
Geoff

My pleasure! Thanks so much for following up and bearing with me on the first reply. Glad this helps and please feel free to let us know if any other questions pop up — we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!

That’s a good question. Actually, something sort of similar came up the other week and, while redirecting to the creator’s page is difficult, we do have a mini plugin that will instead redirect a QR scan to the attendee’s check in status instead of the WP login. That said, the person scanning the QR code would still need access to the dashboard.

You can download that plugin here and install it like any other plugin. There are no settings for it. Once activated, the redirect will take effect.

Cheers!
Geoff

Hey Noah,

Absolutely! In fact, we have a free plugin called Event Tickets that will allow you to create free tickets for events published to The Events Calendar.

If you want to sell paid tickets for those event, then you can also purchase Event Tickets Plus, which integrates with WooCommerce for paid events.

Does that sound like what you’re looking for? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
