Re: Add Registration Deadline/Cut Off Date to email

Hello,

I'm wanting to add the Registration Deadline to the confirmation email that a registrant receives. I tried adding [CUT_OFF_DATE] within the message but this did not work. Can you let me know how this can be done?

Thanks

Hi

That tag is not supported in the extension. So if you want to use that tag, you will need to edit the sendEmails function in the file components/com_eventbooking/helper/helper.php to support that tag.

Tuan,

Thank you for your reply. I added cut_off_date to the query below but it did not work. Are you able to provide me anymore guidance on what I need to do?

$sql = 'SELECT event_date, title, date_time, cut_off_date, currency_symbol, params FROM #__eb_events WHERE id='.$row->event_id ;

Hi

You will need to know programming to do that. Look at the file components/com_eventbooking/helper/helper.php, find the function sendEmails and change it to add the tag you want. Try to read the code inside that function and you should understand how to do that.

If you could not do that, I am afraid of you will need to find a developer to help you.

Hi,

Just a quick check whether the cut off date is still not supported for confirmation emails?

If not I guess I can manage myself, though I would wonder why this has not been done, if so?

Thanks!

The cut off date is just used to disable registration for event at that time. When you are already registered for the event, I wonder why you still need cut off date in the email?

OK. It's not hurt to support that tag, so I added it. You can download latest package from My Downloads section, upgrade it to your site

After that, you can use [CUT_OFF_DATE] tag in the email messages
