Group registration confusion was created by Bob Leavitt
We have many new people who who want to register as a couple for an event and for the web site at the same time. They have never seen this event registration form before registering for their first event. When they see the "Register Group" option they think of a group as being 3 or more rather than a group being a couple. They end up registering as an individual and their partner may or may not register separately. I'd like to be able to clarify the process for couples by modifying the group registration button to say "Register Couple or Group". Also place similar text on the group registration form. Can that be done without too much difficulty?

Thanks,
Bob

You can change the text of the Register Group button in the [Event Booking -> Translation manager], and enter "EB_REGISTER_GROUP" into the filter field to find the translation you need to edit. As for the text that appears at the head of the group registration form, you can modify that in [Event Booking -> Email and Messages -> Form Messages tab -> Registration Form Message (Group)].

And now a question for you: Do you have events where your minimum-number-of-people-per-group changes (eg. some events you will allow groups of 2, whereas other events will be larger minimum groups)? I've built a work-around for this that allows customization of the Group Register button text at the event level. If enough people need this fuctionality, maybe @Tuan will consider implementing it into the core code :)

Thanks for the tips. They worked fine. Thus far we do not have any events where the minimum for a group changes. We always set it to 2.

Regards,
Bob
