Link to event or events by id?

Hi

I adore your component and have been using it for years. I've modded it all over the shop and continue to do so all the time.

One thing I've always struggled with though, is how to link directly to an event, or events, by their id. The below works on my website, but only with Itemid=204, the purpose of which I don't understand.

As I'm trying to copy one of my mods for a friend, I can't link to any of his events from my script, because they all fail, presumably because Itemid=204 means nothing on his site.

The current link structure is: index.php?option=com_eventbooking&task=individual_registration&event_id=38&Itemid=204

Can you tell me the correct link structure please so I can link to the registration pages of each event?

Thanks

Ok, I may have just worked part of it out. 204 is actually the id of the table display menu item that displays all events. So I'm guessing it needs that for routing or something?

And to expand further. I'm using 1.7.1 and 2.1.1.

The reason for me doing this is I have several mods that query the database and create tables listing upcoming events with buttons to register, each of which link to the relevant event's registration page.

Thanks

In your case, I guess 204 is ID of a menu item which is created to link to event details menu option of Events Booking to display details page of a selected event

The link to display an event has this format;

domain.com/index.php?option=com_eventboo...t&id=ID_OF_THE_EVENT

Please try that to see whether it works

Sorry, just realised I've been unclear.

That links to the details page of an event, which I now realise fulfils what I'd asked for, however, I'd like to link directly to the registration form of an event by it's id, which is what my link does.

I've found their menu id, which is 725, but swapping 204 for 725 in my link and an active event id, just redirects me to domain.com/component/eventbooking/?Itemid=0

Thanks

I don't know about the old version you are using. In latest version, it should be index.php?option=com_eventbooking&task=register.individual_registration&event_id=38&Itemid=204

Of course 38 needs to be replaced with ID of the event

Tuan

Fantastic, that's worked perfectly, thanks!

I've used: index.php?option=com_eventbooking&task=register.individual_registration&event_id=38&Itemid=725 which is for version 2.1.1

On my version 1.7.1, the link format from the my first post works.

For "Itemid" it needs the id of the menu item that links to Event Booking's event list.

Main reason for writing this is in case anyone in future tries to do similar and finds this post.

Thanks again and keep up the great work.

That's great. Thanks for sharing your experience here. Actually, there is a simpler way

You can create a menu item to display events list (could be hidden menu item), then access to that menu item and copy the registration links from there

Seem simpler to me

I'm not sure that's much more different than what I have, really. I have a page on the website with a full list of events, ItemId=204. However, copying the links wouldn't really be an option as I want it completely hands off.

On the homepage currently, I have a tabbed next event module that shows upcoming events. It's a dynamic next events module (using Jumi) that queries the database.

What it does is it pulls data from the database as below:

Then displays the data showing upcoming events, each with their own registration button, the link of which is created thus:

I know you don't need to know all this, but I thought it might let you understand what we've done (along with countless other mods).

Thanks

Ah, OK. That makes sense. Do you have it works as expected now?
