Group Billing Question

Hi,
I have a group registration form where a fee field is added to the billing form (not the individuals of the group). The fee needs to be multiplied by the number of individuals in the group. Is there a way to do this quickly via the interface? If not, can you point me to the code where the fee is being calculated please and I'll modify it.

Thanks,
Laura

Hi Laura

If you can use Fee Formula, then wait us for one or two more days. We are releasing new version which support [NUMBER_REGISTRANTS] tag in the fee formula and it should solve your issue

If you want to modify code now, look at components/com_eventbooking/helper/helper.php, find the method calculateGroupRegistrationFee and customize it to meet your need

Thank you....I look forward to the next release.

Hi Laura

The code is now available in version 2.6.0. You can access to My Downloads menu item, download latest version, upgrade it t your site

Then you can use [NUMBER_REGISTRANTS] tag in the fee formula

Thanks. Unfortunately, I'm not using a textbox, so it won't meet our needs. I have a radio button group (2). If the user in billing click button 1, all recipients get $100 off their base registration cost. Suggestions on how I might implement this?

Same problem - I want to use the fee formula code [FIELD_VALUE]* [NUMBER_REGISTRANTS] for a value from a Radio box.

Seems to be some discrepency with the help information quoted below which states that Radio values are used as well as custom fields.....

"Understand Fee Formula

Fee Formula is a bit difficult to understand. However, once you get it, you will see that is is very powerful for fee calculation.

You can use *math operators : +, -, , /** in the fee formula.
When you use [FIELD_VALUE] tag in the fee formula, it will be replaced with the actual fee associated with that field for fee calculation:
If the field is a Text custom field, [FIELD_VALUE] will be replaced with the value subscribers enter on the textbox.
If the field is a single select field (Radio, Single Select box), [FIELD_VALUE] will be replaced with the fee amount corresponding with the value subscribers select for the field.
If the field is a multiple select field (Checkboxes, Multiple Select), [FIELD_VALUE] will be replaced with the total fee values of all the options which users select for that field.
You can also use a custom fee in fee formular with the syntax: [NAME_OF_CUSTOM_FIELD_IN_UPPERCASE]. For example, if you have a textbox custom field called eb_quantity to allow users to enter quantity of the items they want to purchase, you can use the tag [EB_QUANTITY] in the fee formula of any custom fields. Please note that when you use a custom field in fee formula, it will be replaced with a value using the same rules with [FIELD_VALUE] tag mentioned above."

Try [NAME_OF_FIELD]*[NUMBER_REGISTRANTS]. It should works

For example, if you have a field called eb_option, then use this fee fomular [EB_OPTION]*[NUMBER_REGISTRANTS] should work

Many thanks Taun.

I'm guilty of following the instructions to the letter rather than thinking about it.
I was thrown by the use of the [FIELD_VALUE] "tag" - using the field name itself makes much more sense!

The most important thing is it works now
