Group Booking problem was created by Mike
Hi, I have a real problem with the group booking function. The details are:
I have a user on the site responsible for all bookings, called "SUPER" lets say.
Ths person ONLY books the events..... and is NOT an attendee.
So......
Super makes a group booking for 2 people, person #1 and person #2.
The booking goes through properly, and there are 2 registrants for the course.... all the charges are ok.... everything looks good.
The problem is that the system records the person actually entering the booking on the system, and then that person cannot book again for that event..
Can anything be done about this???
cheers

Hi Mike,
I had the same problem - almost.
Though I noticed that although the #registrants column includes the number - it doesn't subtract it from the capacity - so they don't get counted as participants.
Have you tried disabling 'Prevent Duplicate Registrations' on the Configuration (General) tab (8 from the top)?
Also, if you don't won't the bill payer (group book-er) to appear in the list of registrants at all, that can also be disabled in the config (Include Group Billing Records in registrants management).
The other issue I had was prompting the bill payer for Custom Fields - which only applied to the participants. The way I got around this was to edit the components/com_eventbooking/views/register/tmpl/group_billing.php file and commenting out lines 282 & 554 (roughly) so the fields didn't display or attempt to be validated.

Thanks Ben for your reply - solution. Basically, the issue which Mike mentioned can be solved by going to Events Booking -> Configuration, find the config option Prevent Duplicate Registration, set it to No and the issue will be solved.
