Where to start modifying code to add [variables]

Hi,

Awesome plugin.

How would I modify the code so I can include [TRANSACTION_ID] on the "Thank You Message" page?

After a user registers, when the "Thank you" page is shown, I can display variables like [EVENT_TITLE] & [REGISTRATION_DETAIL].
I have tried adding [TRANSACTION_ID], but it doesn't work.

It DOES work on the "User Email Body" page. I need to modify the code so it works on the "Thank you" page. I'd like to do it the same way you do it. That way I can send you my code & you can add it into the next release.

I have a professional programmer who will do it, I just need to know where he should look to see how you do it (what pages, database tables, etc...)

Thanks,
-David

I found it!

It's super easy.

Can you add this code into the next release? It's only 1 line.

In the file: com_eventbooking/views/complete/view.html.php

Lines 86-101 set several variables for use in the backend / configuration / messages screen
If you add the following line to the end, it works perfectly:

$replaces = $row->transaction_id ;


I didn't have do change any other programming lines of code.

I did have to enter [TRANSACTION_ID] in the backend / configuration / messages screen that I wanted to use it in (in this case the "Thank You" page)

Hi David

I am not sure what version you are using but in the latest version (1.5.2), we already supported this tags already. Maybe you are still using old version on a Joomla 1.5 website ?

Thanks for the reply Tuan,

I am using Event Booking version 1.5.2, Copyright (C) 2010-2012 Ossolution Team on Joomla! 2.5.8

I do realize that you already support tags. I also realize you support the tag [TRANSACTION_ID].

But that tag only works in the "User email body" field.

That tag does NOT work in the "Thank you message" field.

Please try it. In config/messages / "Thank you message" enter [TRANSACTION_ID] then perform a transaction.

BUT, if you add the line of code that I suggested, IT WILL WORK.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Tuan,

Hi David

I see it now. You want to use this tag in the Registration Completed page, not in the emails and at the moment, that tag is not supported. I will consider adding support for this tag in future release .

Tuan

Correct! I want to use the tag in the Registration Complete Page. Not in the emails.

It is super easy to make it work. I already figured it out. It is only 1 line:

In the file: com_eventbooking/views/complete/view.html.php

Lines 86-101 set several variables for use in the backend / configuration / messages screen
If you add the following line to the end, it works perfectly:

$replaces = $row->transaction_id ;

There are no other lines of code to add.

That was brilliant, David!
I was looking for exactly that and your fix really helped me.
Thanks a lot!!!
