Event registration e-mail with attachment

Tuan --

I would like to set up an event and attach a Microsoft Outlook ICS file, so that people can double-click on the attachment and have an event added to their Outlook Calendar. However, Event Booking doesn't list the file in the "Attachment" dropdown when editing the event. I have placed the file in the media/com_eventbooking folder (although your documentation says media/com_eventbooking/attachments folder..which doesn't exist, FYI). If I rename the file to .gif, it does list it. So it appears that EB is limiting which file types it will display.

Any chance of a fix for this?

Thank you for your work on this program -- we love it.

-Randy

Hi Randy

1. media/com_eventbooking is the correct folder.

2. Go to Events Booking -> Configuration, find the config option Attachment File Types, add ics as the allowed file type (to the list of available file types).

After that, you will be able to choose that attachment for your event

Regards,

Tuan
