[21-April-2025] Events Booking version 5.0.6 releases

Dear customers !

Today, I am happy to announce the new version 5.0.6 of Events Booking. This version continue refining Events Booking to make it more flexible and easier to use. Below are the details improvements:

1. Various Layout Improvements
- Improve add/edit event page layout, both from frontend and backend
- Improve frontend location submission layout
- Added menu item parameters to allow show/hide columns on frontend managements

2. Improve Registration History
- Added new menu item parameter Show Cancelled Registrations to allow hiding cancelled registrations
- Added menu item parameters to control show/hide columns on Registration History page

3. Improve Shopping Cart
- Added config option Add More Events Menu Item allows you to choose the page which users will be redirected to (usually the page which list your events) when click on Add More Events button instead of using default page. That allow users to see and add other events to cart easier.

4. Improve Speakers/Sponsors Management
You can now unpublish speakers/sponsors from Speakers/Sponsors management page. These unpublished items won't be displayed on the frontend anymore

5. Technical Change: Replace CMS FileSystem package By Framework FileSystem package
The CMS FileSystem package was deprecated need to be replaced by Framework FileSystem package. We spent time to work on this replacement to make sure the extension continue working well with future releases of Joomla (the upcoming Joomla 6) without requiring Behaviour - Backward Compatibility plugin enabled

6. Other Improvements
- Improve Resend Email Feature: You can now resend email to group members. This was not supported before.
- Improve Upcoming Events Module: Added From Date and To Date parameters, allow you to show events from the date range you want in the module.
- Improve Invoice Feature: Added new config option Send Invoice When Registration Approved. You can set it to No if you do not want to send invoice to registrants when their registrations (which use offline payment methods) are approved
- Improve Events Import: You can now import group registration rates for your events using events import feature if needed.
- Events Booking - Map: Added parameters to allow hiding children events on the map
- Allow each event to override the behavior of Reduce Registration Process config option.

Please update your site to this latest version of Events Booking to use these improvements and bugs fixes. Thanks for continue using our products and support our development.

Regards,

Tuan

Hi Thomas

Honestly, I do not know how to handle cancellation invoice feature yet. The reason is because in Events Booking, each registration record only have an associated invoice. If we generate a new invoice, I do not know how it should be handled

I will try to think more about it

Hi Tuan,

please let me know if I can support. I don't know how to technically implement the solution, however I know how the result should look like.

Thomas

I will look at this later and will let you know. As of right now, I'm working on other improvements

Hi Tuan,
with the Update of EventsBooking version 5.0.5 to version 5.0.6 I miss the tab for activating/deactivating the user fields in the event entry screen.
Now I can only assign fields to individual events on the User Fields definition page.
Is that what you want?
This is very inconvenient.

Thanks, Roland

Hi Roland

Could you please submit a support ticket so that I can take a quick look at the setup? That would help me to understand the issue easier and tell you the reasons
