I need you your help posting event registration for district fall conference. Here is the flyer explaining pricing: http://lfs-server1.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Toastmasters-Fall-2013-conf-registration-form.pdf
Please ignore the early bird pricing, that’s easy to do. As you can see on the first page, there is an a la carte section for a combination of dif. events and meals with 2 different pricing levels – 1.Toastmaster and 2. Family/Friend/Associate.
Is it possible to build this form with one registration event and if yes, what is the recommended way to go about it?
Thank you,
Jake

Hi Jake,
The only way I can think of would be to use the Event Espresso price modifier add-on:

You can download the Price modifier pre-release from your account page by opting into the pre-release channel if you have not already done so.

Hi Josh,
I downloaded Event Espresso Price Modifier and started working with it. My question is – what is the most elegant way to fork logic (A or B) on the registration form? Do you create one form or do you have two different registration forms? In our case, per the exmaple listed above, A = Full Conference Package, B = A la carte options. A and B are mutually exclusive.
Thank you,
Jake

Hi Jake,
Well without conditional logic, have a few choices:
1) create separate events with separate reg forms. Easiest option to deal with but may not suit your requirements.
2) use css and javascript to show/hide question groups depending on ticket selection.
3) use the question group name and description to visually advise the user to only fill in that group if they selected ticket X.
There are issues with 2 and 3 in that any required field would still need to be added. You could get around that with 2 by using javascript to remove the required class when hidden.

Hi Dean,
I opted for option 3, and got it almost working the way manual form is designed. There is one issue with Event Espresso Price Modifier — it ignores a choice with 0.00 price. There could be a valid business case for this — Primary attendee (member) pays $35.00 for event, however he or she is allowed to bring and pay only $10.00 per guest. I used question group under additional attendee section to ask a question whether the additional attendee is a member or guest. The desired outcome is to deduct #25.00 from the event price if the additional attendee is a guest and deduct $0.00 if the additional attendee is a member (i.e husband and wife are both members and they want to bring two kids as a guests – one ticket with primary member pricing, second attendee with member pricing, third and fourth attended with guests pricing).
I used a radio box quesiton: member|0.00,guest|-25.00
This results in displaying one radio box with guest option. Once the radio box is checked on, there is no way to uncheck it.
I hope this makes sense. Is there a way to display options with 0.00 pricing?
Thank you,
Jake

Hi Jake,
I would suggest using a checkbox instead of a radio button if you’re only offering one choice that actually modifies the price. Since an 0.00 option doesn’t modify the price it doesn’t display.

Hi Josh,
Thank you for the suggestion, I will try that. While we discussing check boxes, is it possible to have one question using check boxes with multiple choices and another question with check boxes with only one choice available? This would give the form consistent look and feel, vs. switching between check boxes and radio buttons.
Thank you,
Jake

Hi Jake,
Not really, at least not without some sort of javascript to disable the checkboxes after one is ticked. Checkboxes werent designed to only allow one choice, thats what radio buttons are for.
