Here is a process that we would like to implement on a site that utilizes Event Espresso. Does anyone have any insight on how to achieve the following steps: User fills out application form – $50 must be paid Many thanks in advance. | |
Hi Adam, In theory it is possible, but I think it would become a bit of an admin nightmare. The way I see it working would be to have 2 events, but only one is shown on the front of the site (by using the EVENT_LIST shortcode and categories). The user registers and pays (note, pre-approval wont work here as you require payment so a custom email and possibly thank you message would be needed). The admin rejects – refunds manually. The admin accepts and transfers the user to the other event via the Attendee Re-assignment Addon (http://staging.eventespresso.com/wiki/attendee-re-assignment-addon/) The user is then emailed asking them to pay. Using a function such as this https://gist.github.com/sethshoultes/5574217) the user can be added as a WP user. The function would have to be modified to only fire from specific event registrations (the $200 one). Discounts and rates could still be applied to the secondary $200 event. | |
Thanks, Dean. I am realizing there is probably no way to automate the entire process. But I would like to try and automate 1 or 2 steps of it. The problem I am having now is, I have the application form, the user submits, and then instantly becomes a wp user (using the WP User add on). No admin approval or payment. If I could correct just this step, that would be great. The rest could be manual. Thanks again. | |
You probably need to integrate something like the S2 member plugin. When the user is created, they would need to get assigned S2 level 1 (free membership level), then the admin would need to look at their payment and reassign the user to S2 level 2. Then use our S2 member integration add-on to restrict the member discount to level 2 and higher, and to restrict the pages that are level 2 and higher. | |
Thanks, Sidney. I will review the S2 plugin. | |
