Hi Kathleen,

The problem with defaulting to ‘1’ is that if an event has for example 5 ticket types, each of those ticket types will default to ‘1’.

Lets say you have Adult/Child/Adult+Meal/Child+Meal/Family, by default 1 each of those tickets would then be selected. You wanted just 2 x Adults. You’ll need to also set each of the other ticket types to 0.

This also opens up the possibility of attendees booking onto tickets they did not intend, meaning more admin work to refund the unintended tickets.

Also with the current setup the cart total would not update automatically until at least one ticket quantity had been changed/re-selected how ever this could maybe fixed with a little JavaScript.

Hi Kathleen,

This is a jQuery snippet that can be added to load up into the shopping_cart.php page that will change the default value in the ticket quantity selector to 1:

<script>jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    jQuery(".price_id").val(1);
    jQuery('#event_espresso_refresh_total').trigger('click');
});
</script>
