Dear customers
Today, I am happy to announce the next release of Events Booking, version 3.4.0. This version bring the following improvements to the extension:
1. Compatible with Joomla 4
Joomla 4 is planned to release sometime this year, so I decided to go ahead to work and make the extension compatible with Joomla 4. So if you want to update your sites to Joomla 4 or build new websites with Joomla 4, you know that Events Booking is already compatible.
2. Support Twitter Bootstrap Version 4
Twittter Bootstrap version 4 was released at the beginning of this year and there have been template clubs build template base on this latest version of this great frontend framework. If you built new sites using a template base on twitter bootstrap 4, you can config Events Booking to use this twitter bootstrap version (same with how we support twitter bootstrap version 2 and twitter bootstrap version 3). With this improvement, we even planned to support for UIKit in the future, too
3. Improve registration cancellation handle
Now, when registrant click on cancellation link in the email (if you insert [CANCE_REGISTRATION_LINK] tag in the email), there will be a confirmation step ask you to confirm that you want to cancel registration. That's to avoid users click on the link by mistake
Also, now when registrant cancel their registration, there will be an email sent to them to confirm this cancellation, too
With this improvement, you should go to Events Booking -> Emails & Messages, look at Cancel registration messages, review and change default messages to meet your need if needed
4. Improve Ticket Types plugin
If you use Ticket Types, the system also now validate and make sure the total number of purchased tickets must be smaller than available places for the event (calculated by Event Capacity - Total number of registered registrants if you set event capacity for the event)
With this improvement, if you want, you can make sure total capacity of all ticket types won't be over event capacity (so you don't need to setup capacity for each ticket types if you don't know capacity for each type, just know total capacity of all ticket types)
5. Improve sending Ticket PDFs
Now if you use group registration, the system will generate separate tickets, each ticket for one group member and send these tickets to the billing person. That make it easier for the billing person to deliver ticket to his group members if needed
6. Some other small improvements
- Add settings to allow show hide event end date, cut off date, registration start date on event list (default layout) and event details page
- Improve Mass Mail: Allow choosing to send mass mail to checked in registrants only
- If you can create menu item to link to Export Registrants menu option (to allow export registrants from the system), you can now choose an event and only registrants from that event will be exported
- Show registration date on frontend registrants management
Please update your site to this latest version of Events Booking to use these nice improvements. Thanks for using our products and continue supporting our development
Regards,
Tuan
