No End Date and No Cut Off Date was created by Lisa Renshaw
I have a web site I'm working on where the client is offering online classes. Some of them are perpetual, meaning there is no real start date or end date, or a cut off date.

I found the following post but it doesn't really help me.

joomdonation.com/61-features-wish-list/1...ext-field.html#13106

I don't want to hide the registration deadline on ALL of the events. I only want to hide it if it's an ongoing event. I want the deadline to register (cut off date) and end dates to show on all of the events that actually have one. If I set a date way in the future for the ones that go on like in the above forum post, then the date shows and the system allows people to register, however I believe it's misleading to the web site visitor and confusing about when the class actually ends, when can they register, etc.

What would be useful and what I would like the option of is to be able to select "no end date" and "no cut off date" so that the system knows the event goes on and on OR if I enter NOTHING in those fields it will still allow people to register for those events.

Additionally, I would like to be able to make use of the calendar functionality unlike the user in the above post.

The site is currently offline so there is no public access. I can PM you a user/pass if you need to actually look at the site.

I hope this all makes sense.

I read the post you suggest and that doesn't solve my problem.

The issue I am having is that I want an event that recurs endlessly at no specific interval, has NO real start date, end date, or cut off date. I cannot simply opt to put in a date such as 12-31-2099 and have it not show on the front end since the configuration options are to either show those dates or not.

90% of the events have a start, end and cut off date which must be visible.

There are only a few that have NO start, end or cut of dates and therefore do not need those dates visible. So the issue with these is not HOW the dates are displayed, it's that they are displayed and confusing if forced to enter some date in the far future in order to allow people to register.

I need the option to have nothing entered in those fields, have it not displayed AND still allow the user to register.

Thanks,

In this case, I think you will have find someone to customize the extension for you. Events Booking cannot handle this special case :( .

Please add this functionality to the wish list. I think it's a very important thing to add.

Do you have anyone that can customize for us??

Yes . We have developers to work on this customization . It will take us 3 days for doing the customization and It will cost you 80$ (the reason I ask for 3 days because we are busy at the moment) .

Please discuss with your client and get back to us.
