I have different types of events marketed on different webpages but all of them get registered on one site/database. How can I change the link on an events Individual registration (and Group Registration) button to go to an external link?

Page with button:
www.homeschooltravels.com/index.php?opti...vent_id=2&Itemid=154

This is the current code of the registration buttons courtesy of Firebug

<li>
<a href="/index.php?option=com_eventbooking&task=individual_registration&event_id=2&Itemid=154"> Register (<strong>Individual</strong>)</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="/index.php?option=com_eventbooking&task=group_registration&event_id=2&Itemid=154"> Register (<strong>Group</strong>)</a>
</li>

I want them to go to an external page
www.thetravels.com/index.php?option=com_...&Itemid=19&eventId=6

I know that I will have to do this for each event to match the EventBooking Itemid of the button with the final (dtregister) eventid of the external registration page. So changing the link of the button seems to be the easiest way.

Please assume that I need clear directions as I only know less than I have previously accomplished with joomla.

#2 how can I change the color of the "Individual" and "Group" letters on the register buttons from white to other (blue)
Thanks.

Hi

Right now, the extension doesn't have a feature to allow handle registration on an external url. So in this case, you will need to customize the extension :

1. You will need to customize add event form from back-end to allow enter this external registration URL for each event.

2. Modify the event detail page from front-end to redirect user to the entered (external url) when they click on register button. (the file need to be modified is components/com_eventbooking/views/event/tmpl/default.php) .

There are several options here :

1. If you know Joomla, PHP code, you can do the modification yourself (using the instruction above) .

2. If you don't know coding, you can hire us to customize the extension for you. The price for this customization is 40$.

3. If the two above options doesn't work., you can wait for two weeks and I will try to add support for this feature.

Tuan
