I think that you'll need to make a change at the code level for this. In /components/com_eventbooking/view/register/html.php, you will find TWO occurrences of:
Code:
$paymentType = $input->post->getInt('payment_type', 0);
if ($config->activate_deposit_feature)
{
$options = array();
$options[] = JHtml::_('select.option', 0, JText::_('EB_FULL_PAYMENT'));
$options[] = JHtml::_('select.option', 1, JText::_('EB_DEPOSIT_PAYMENT'));
$lists['payment_type'] = JHtml::_('select.genericlist', $options, 'payment_type', ' class="input-large" onchange="showDepositAmount(this);" ', 'value', 'text',
$paymentType);
$depositPayment = 1;
}
In BOTH occurrences, add something like this to in a new line above [ $options[] = JHtml::_('select.option', 0, JText::_('EB_FULL_PAYMENT')); ]:
Code:
$options[] = JHtml::_('select.option', '', 'Please click and select FULL PAYMENT or DEPOSIT PAYMENT');
and in BOTH occurences, change the [0] at the end of [ $paymentType = $input->post->getInt('payment_type', 0); ] to match with the second value in the JHtml function (in my above code, it would be the empty string ''):
Code:
$paymentType = $input->post->getInt('payment_type', '');
// force the new '' valued-option to default
The disadvantage is that the user can still proceed without changing this value, but I think the system will process the registration as if they are making full payment (in my test record, the user is logged as selecting Full Payment).
Your final code in BOTH occurrences should look like this:
Code:
$paymentType = $input->post->getInt('payment_type', '');
if ($config->activate_deposit_feature)
{
$options = array();
$options[] = JHtml::_('select.option', '', 'Please click and select FULL PAYMENT or DEPOSIT PAYMENT');[
$options[] = JHtml::_('select.option', 0, JText::_('EB_FULL_PAYMENT'));
$options[] = JHtml::_('select.option', 1, JText::_('EB_DEPOSIT_PAYMENT'));
$lists['payment_type'] = JHtml::_('select.genericlist', $options, 'payment_type', ' class="input-large" onchange="showDepositAmount(this);" ', 'value', 'text',
$paymentType);
$depositPayment = 1;
}
