I have just purchased EventOn to set up fitness events throughout the year.
I would like a visitor to register for an event before buying. I intend to purchase Ticket Addon which will enable tickets to be purchased. However the visitor MUST register/be logged in beofre they can buy.
I need them to choose from one of three age ranges (18-34, 35-44 and 45+) and select a gender (male or female).
I have never setup registration before, so what is the best way to set up registration/entry please through EventOn? Or can you point me in the right direction for another plugin i can use to do this?
Thank you
- Feb 16,2021 AT 5:48AM - 4 years agoTo clarify i need to know how to set up a registration form that will sync/work with EventOn to ensure tickets can only be purchased once logged in. Please help or advise! I tried contacting woocommerce about this but they were unable to help and directed me to your support.
Thank you
Hello,
WordPress handles registration and loggin processes so please follow this guide: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-allow-user-registration-on-your-wordpress-site/#:~:text=Enabling%20User%20Registration%20in%20WordPress&text=Head%20over%20to%20Settings%20%C2%BB%20General,select%20the%20default%20user%20role.
Now when it’s ready please go to EventON Settings > Tickets > enable Show ticket purchase only for loggedin users.
I need them to choose from one of three age ranges (18-34, 35-44 and 45+) and select a gender (male or female).
Please follow this guide: https://docs.myeventon.com/documentations/how-to-add-additional-fields-at-checkout/. You can also send us a customization job request by creating a new ticket in here and selecting Customization Request as the category.
Ah thats awesome thank you so much i was worried about which registration form to use.
Regarding the age ranges and gender, is this something you can do for me or should i just add that code. The idea is that visitors CAN only enter events that are restricted to those age groups. Thank you
Just thinking about it, wouldn’t this age range and gender need to be part of registration form (as new field) rather than added at checkout. It needs to be specified earlier idea so that is part of their account. Would you suggest adding it to the registration instead?
Hmmmm
I would suggest perhaps a membership plugin (there are free ones)
with membership plugins you can create additional user roles
and in your case 1 user role would be 18-34, another would be 35-44 and so on
you may wish to try something like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-membership/
in particular
Set up unlimited membership levels (example: free, silver, gold etc) and protect your posts and pages using the membership levels you create.
I believe this may allow you to create 3 calendars on the one page (1 calendar for each user role) You would then use the event types (which are our version of categories) to show a calendar of only 1 event type if you needed.
ok thanks for the suggestion above.
However if my client wanted a person to register for every event how could that be achieved? As it stands if they register on the main page they will have access to everything and won’t have to register again later, however my client ideally wants the visitor to register/enter each event so he has the details of that event and time within their submission once a ticket is purchased.
You could use the RSVP addon which is set up for free events- you can then also ask more questions on the sign up form
at this point they have signed up for an event
then your client can either accept payment on the day for real events, or send them a woocommerce order to pay
why is it a 2 step process- register and payment- why are these seperate?
Hi there,
Forget the RSVP addon as the client just wants the users to be logged in before they purchase. So a standard registration /log in would be fine.
Do you know of any other free or cheap login plugins that will do this and sync with the EventOn page so tickets can be purchased when logged in. Or is the one suggested the best one for the job.
However the Saturday is for Men (with 96 spaces) and the Sunday is for Women (with 96 spaces). Now obviously i can set these up as two individual York events at the same location if that is easiest. However is there a way to have one York event across that weekend with the ability to purchase either a Male (Saturday) or Female (Sunday) ticket?
If so please advise how this can be achieved? If not i assume i’ll have to set them up individually?
Many thanks
Graham
Hi again, with reference to point 1 i made above.I noticed that the WP Forms plugin including user registration is actually £199 a year which is way to much for us. Again please come back to me with you suggestions on alternative plugins we could use ideally below £50 per year. This one is free but a bit too basic https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-registration/.
I look forward to response on the points above.
Thanks
Graham
then use a combination of the free membership plugin and something like this https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-dashboard-access-for-non-admins/
I have used this companies multi vendor plugin which is good- but I have not tested this https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-frontend/
I think i have found a plugin that will allow what i require. It allows User Reigstration aon the free plugin here: https://ultimatemember.com/pricing/
So can you please come back to me on point 2 above?
You would most likely want to have separate event for each for several reasons
see video
There is a ticketing addon called variations BUT (and its a big but) it doesn’t work with repeating events so they would have to set up each event over and over again- better to set up a male event and repeat it, and a female event and repeat it – this also allows you to send emails out to Only male and Only female attendees and makes it easy for you to see all male attendees and all female attendees separately , you can then also download a CSV of only male attendees for example and you can add that csv to mailchimp email newsletters for example
Wow that is fantastic thank you so much for the video support 🙂
So can i just ask, are the repeat events editable once set up. As there will be 20 events a year each in a different location ie York, Edinburgh, Manchester.
Also these aren’t likely to be weekly they will be whenever they can be setup. Most will be every two weeks but there may be a 4 week gap between others.
The details of each event will be similar so its just the date and location that will need editing.
Please confirm as I want to set this up the easiest way possible for male and female events.
Many thanks
Graham
this addon allows you to edit repeating events
https://www.myeventon.com/addons/repeat-customizer/
however you need to know you can ONLY edit the following fields:
Disclosure: Currently supported event data are event title, event image, subtitle, feature event, event completed, event status, event location, event organizer and all the custom meta fields. More event data field compatibility will be added in the future.
Ok cool,
So would you suggest this addon with the repeating events option, instead of just setting up all the events manually without repeating them? What is the benefit of it please. I’m just wondering for the sake of 20 events a year is it worth the additional cost.
2. Are addons a one off fee for the lifetime or do these need renewing annually as this plugin say $35? I just need to advise my client of the options.
Thank you
2. Please check https://docs.myeventon.com/documentations/terms-and-conditions-and-refund-policy/ > 7. Subscriptions & Automatic Renewal > 7.2 Subscription Cancellation. So if it works and you don’t need to update or our help you just can use it.
Its a yearly subscription
it all depends on how much work you want to do
20 male events and 20 female events
You could create a male event save and publish- and then duplicate the event
see video below
30 minutes work boom you’ll have your events up on the calendar
repeat customizer was mainly for people putting on 1-3 events per week for the next 52 weeks, in your case as much as we want to make some coin I think technically you probably will be doing the same amount of work duplicating those 20 events as you would editing each repeat with the repeat customizer
