Expiry Date next to Discount Price on event detail

Is the [ $item->discounted_price ] object on the event's [Event Properties] listing used for anything else other than displaying the active early-bird rate for the event?

If it is only for early-bird... How would one go about adding the early-bird cutoff date beside the price? I tried mucking around with the code, but couldn't figure out how, in your current code constructs, to grab the date variable (I'm a code tweaker/twister, not a real programmer). I suppose I could write my own sql query, but it would take me all day, and I'm guessing that the variable I need is sitting there within easy reach (or just a properly-written-line-or-two-of-code away).

Here's an example of what I would like to see:


PS: Would this be something useful to others too, and worth considering inclusion in the core code?

Hi James

I agree that is useful. However, that discount contains:

1. Early Bird Discount

2. It might also contains members discount

So if we want to display the date like that, we can only display if member discount is zero. Will consider implementing it in the core. Thanks for pointing it out

Thanks for your reply and for considering adding this, Tuan. Seeing as it could contain 2 amounts summed together, the text could state something like "•member discount •early-bird discount (expiry date)", with one or the other being absent if =$0. That would clarify things nicely for the registrant.

Or even better, something like this:

Here is and example for html and CSS that seems to work for layout. Might save your designers a couple of minutes -- They can create classes / assign IDs however they want.

Hi,

what can I do that I can see the expired Date? It´s really cool.

Could you send me the link to the page?

You can try to get this file, unzip it, upload to components/com_eventbooking/views/common folder of your site and the early bird discount date should be displayed. You can customize it further by looking at line 215 of that file. I just made a small modification to the code so that you can customize it further to make it works as you want
