Dear customers
Today, I am happy to announce new version of Events Booking 3.14.1 with the following improvements:
1.
Compatible with Joomla 4 Beta 7
This is the main work of this release. As you might know, Joomal 4 Beta 7 was released recently and the main change is that it now uses Twitter Bootstrap 5 instead of Twitter Bootstrap 4 as before. I put a lots of work into Events Booking to make sure both frontend and backend works well with latest Joomla 4 releases (basically, compatible with Twitter Bootrap 5). So if you are building your site with Joomla 4 (I can see some clients already do it) or plan to use Joomla 4 when it is releases, Events Booking will be compatible.
2.
Support Waiting List Capacity
Allows you to set Waiting List Capacity for each event if needed to limit number of registrants can join waiting list when the event is full (currently, the extension allows un-limited waiting lists). If you would like to use this option, go to Events Booking -> Configuration, look at Submit Event Form Fields Backend tab, set
Show Waiting List Capacity config option to Yes.
3.
Correct EU Tax Rules Integration
Remove England from list of EU countries, so registrants from England will not be charged tax by EU Tax Rules (this only affect if you use EU Tax Rules integration in Events Booking)

. Propose Solution For Overbooking
If you have a high traffic website and limit number registrants for your events, sometime overbooking will happen. The reason is because when validating capacity of an event to accept registration, Events Booking only count confirmed payment registration. So if there is one slot left for exampe and one registrant is registering for it and on payment gateway website (for example PayPal) to process payment, the system will still allow other user to takes that slot (because payment is not confirmed yet, so the previous persion is not counted as registrant)
To address this overbooking control, in this release, I added a new config option called
Count Awaiting Payment Registration Time (Minutes) . You can set it to 2 minutes for example and the system will also count the registrants in the latest 2 minutes to validating capacity (although he is processing payment - not complete yet). That would help solve this overbooking issue. It is not a perfect solution, but maybe sometime it could be useful
Please update your site to this latest version of Events Booking to use these improvements. Thanks for continue using our products and support our development
Regards,
Tuan
