Hi there, EB installs a pugin called Events Booking - Fee Fields Generator.
In the online docs I was unable to find an explanation about the configuration of this plugin, and therefore I also don't know what this plugin is used for.
Could you please help me with pointing my nose into the right direction ?
Thanks!!
Regards Andrea

This is exactly what I need (I have events that have Adult and Child tickets), but I can't find any really useful step by step info on enabling this from start to finish.

I have enabled the plugin, but the fields in the plugin are confusing.

Hi Ian

Could you please explain exactly what's your requirement now? Maybe we can have a simpler way to setup (base on latest version 3.7.1) instead of using that plugin (the limitation with that plugin is that for each event, it will create a new custom fee field, so you will end up with having many fee fields if you have many events in your system

Hi Tuan

I have a number of events which require the ability to have one price for adults and a lower price for children. I set it up the very old way of custom fields, but, yes, I needed one custom field per event.

So Adults need to be $40 and Children $20.

In version 3.7.1, we might have simpler way to setup (just need one fee field instead of each field for an event:

1. Creating event custom fields to allow entering price for adult and children, see eventbookingdoc.joomservices.com/basic-s.../event-custom-fields

Let's say the name of the 2 fields are eb_adult_price, eb_children_price

2. You can now creating a custom fee field eventbookingdoc.joomservices.com/basic-s...wn-custom-field-type . The difference is that instead of enter a fixed fee amount into Fee Values, you can use the 2 tags :

[EB_ADULT_PRICE]
[EB_CHILDREN_PRICE]

3. Then when the system calculate fee for that field, it will replace the two tags above with the price you enter into eb_adult_price and eb_children_price fields when you setup the event

Not sure if it's clear?

Hi Tuan

OK I got that working thanks. It's basically like the old way of doing it except (unlike the old way) we're not having to create separate custom fields for every different value - that is great as it was a total pain before!

[For others reading this, eventbookingdoc.joomservices.com/basic-s.../event-custom-fields can be confusing. If you just want a simple Adult/Child, the only fields you need add to fields.xml are 2 text fields.]

In the Custom Field I made (radio buttons) for users to select Adult or Child, under the Values field I put Adult and Child. However, I can't add a dollar value here or this would ruin the universality of the field. I tried adding [ADULT_PRICE] and [CHILD_PRICE] next to the text, but this acts as text, not as placeholders. It would be great to have [ADULT_PRICE] (or whatever) show the value, so it would say Adult $40 rather than Adult $[ADULT_PRICE].

Thanks for the help on this - it's a good improvement. Is there a way to have the radio buttons displayed side by side rather than stacked?

Hello

If you want to have radio display side by side, edit the field, change Size parameter to a larger value like 5, then 5 options will be displayed per row
