Conditional Custom Fields

Okay, Okay. Stupid me, I didn't have the dependency field published. But now I'm presented with a new hiccup. The event price is already set. But let's say someone clicks the radio button 'Yes' and enters in '1' in the 'How Many Members?' textbox, the number actually adds the price for two members instead of just the one. So should the price for the event itself be '$0.00' so this calculation would work?

For my events like this, I've always had to set the event price = $0, with all the fees being handled by custom fee fields.
The down falls of this method are: a) you don't get a automatic count of how many people are attending (but you can manually calc that based on the fields you've set up) [EDIT] and all the extra spots you sell via the fee fields don't get counted against the event capacity [END EDIT] ; b) the event shows up in the event list as a $0 event.

[EDIT] The only way I know to get around problem "a" is to use group registration. [END EDIT]
One way around problem "b" would be:
- set up the event as normal
- have a fee dropdown or radio-button for "are you a member", with NO and YES options; with fee values of 0 and -5 (subtract $ for members)
- you could then set up textbox conditional dependants for ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF MEMBERS and ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF NON-MEMBERS based on this the previous "member" selection, or just have the two # Members / # non-Members options appear all the time so that people can enter into both. Use the 50*[FIELD_VALUE] and 55*[FIELD_VALUE] on these.

Thanks, Mr. Riley.

I was counting on the event price having to be '0', and was successful in creating (after some minutes of trying) the custom fee fields correctly to accommodate the additional folks.

When you mentioned the 'automatic count', does that mean that the capacity counter won't work? I will need to heavily rely on that.

As for the events showing up as '0' in the event list (fronted), I have that disabled from showing.

BUT! I think I'm going to give your suggestion a go and see how that works out. That may get rid of an extra step for me.

Thank you for the suggestion!

The only way that I know of to get the capacity counter to reflect the proper number of registrants is to use group reg (For posterity's sake, I've clarified this in my original response.) Individual reg will always only adds 1 registrant.

I know I've wished in the past that there could be a way of counting registrants against the event capacity based on a custom field within the Individual reg. It would be soooooo useful for EB to do this!
Could this be a possible future feature, @Tuan?
Eg: fee fields for [Number of adult tickets] and [Number of adult tickets] could be set to not only calculate the fees, but also count each ticket as a spot taken in the event's total capacity.

Yeah, this would definitely be a great addition to better customization on EB.

One thing I also noticed is that the Total amount after additional members/non-members are added are not reflected in the cart (if you decide to set your event to '0'), if you are using these custom fields on the registration page where the cart module resides. To minimize confusion, I disabled the 'Activation Shopping Cart?' option in the Configuration. I was hoping that this would've automatically changed as the Total did on the form.
