I have the same issue here: future recurring events are marked as “This event has passed.” e.g. ourclientdomain/event/summer-special-2013-montag/2013-09-02/.
Since we’re supposed to go live within the next two weeks with this website, such an obvious and glaring bug does make me feel slightly nervous.Hi Jonah
I’ll be away for a few days. After that I’ll try to redo my steps and screencast it.
The solution was quite simple: turn “repeating” off for the event and then back on made everything go back to normal.
Seeing an event marked as non-repeating in the list while clearly repeating weekly for months in the event view was rather special, though, as was seeing the events starting to disappear in the calendar view 🙂
-philJust noticed: changing a repeating events’ time also changes the event to non-repeating in Events list and Calendar view, even though “repeating every week until date” is still set in the event itself. Repeating events still seem to be a bit wobbly.
Barry, thanks for your input re: the next release.
We’re just about to start programming our own event data exporter function, due to requirements from a client. Of course, doing so just to have WooTicket duplicate the functionality in “the next few months” would be quite frustrating. There is no way for Tribe to be a little bit more specific about what will definitely be included in the next release of WooTicket, and also be a little bit more specific when this is supposed to hit, is there?Hi Barry and Rob, thanks for your inputs here.
I know you won’t commit to any date, but: can you tell us roughly when we can realistically expect the next version of WooTickets?Hi Barry,
just to quickly add to this: export of wooTicket data to XLS would be a huge plus here – if the data is then usable in Excel. We’re actually looking into Store Apps Smart Manager at the moment, since our client wants lists sortable by date/by event, attendees names in plain text, no cryptic numbers.
(Some sort of roadmap document for WooTicket and Event Cal Pro would be really helpful, IMHO)I fully support what Ann Marie says, even though I have to admit I never even noticed this rather glaring oversight (no event date/time in the receipt email and on the ticket PDF), since we put those in almost all our test events titles.
We did come across the list of attendees, which as Ann Marie writes is almost unusable in a real-life environment (like checking in customers at an events’ door) and certainly not user-friendly, even when time is not pressing, like when/if accounting checking into the state of sales.
All of these things are much better handled by EventEspresso – which unfortunately, probably also because of these many features, is just barely usable in its complexity, IMHO.
These problems also have made us think about using Eventbrite or Amiando, even though we really like wooticket’s simplicity.Barry, thanks a lot for your comments.
I’m fully aware that these two features probably belong in the WooCommerce category, not WooTicket. However, it would still be very nice for me and, I guess, for many others as well, if such things were enabled and handled by WooTicket by default, instead of having to set up new categories of users, and new payment gateways only visible and usable by these users, or find, buy and install additional WooCommerce plugins (or default to Event Espresso).
Other things we’re currently investigating WooCommerce-side:
automatic sales reports – once per month, all future events
automatic sales report – the minute a tickets end sale date/time is reached, a detailed sales report for this event is sent to the events organiser, so they don’t have to crawl through some filtered WooCommerce listing view.I may have missed these, but here are two things I haven’t found just yet in WooTicket, which I think would be of great use to many using it:
1) new payment method “on the premises”. Our client also sells tickets on his premises, and needs a way to have “local”/”cash” payments enabled for this. Obviously only employees of his should be able to use this payment method.
2) reduced pricing. Our client would like to be able to sell reduced-price tickets for a) his own employees and possibly somewhere down the raod also to preferred guests. This also means that these prices should only be visible and selectable for certain logged-in users.Also, an idea for this forum: ability to +1 or thumbsup or whatever for suggestions one would also like to have.
Thanks Barry for the ideas.
We’re currently using Visual Composer’s built-in posts slider module, but we’ll possibly look into extending it with calendar logic.
Since the client has also asked for a way to have posts, pages and events expire at a defined date/time in the future, we may also have to use some sort of logic for this and go with it.Hi Barry – yes, while certainly not ideal I think this would make more sense than having an empty thumbnail displayed in the Shopping basket. Another idea would be to have and assign some standard ticket thumbnail, I think. The “problem”, if it is one, is that now I have to explain to the client to
1) create an event
2) create one or more tickets for this event within the event
3) after having saved or published the event, click on “Edit in WooCommerce”, assign a post image there, go back to the event, “Edit in WooCommerce” again if there are more than 1 ticket categories.
