Hi – I went through the tutorial on creating a multi-event registration, but I’m not sure I understand how the screen shot from the tutorial was created?

For the benefit of anyone else who is trying to create a multi-event scenario, here is how I’m going to approach it…

Staff — please affirm this is the intended way to go about it, or if there is a better way:

Here is what I’m trying to accomplish:

Sell tickets to multi-day conference — the conference should only show up on the calendar 1 time.

Conference options:

Event 1 – first created, shows on calendar:
General Admission price 1 normal meal,
General Admission Price 2 Vegetarian meal
Members Admission price 1 normal meal
Members Admission Price 2 vegetarian meal

Event 2 – Day passes
day 1 – no banquet
day 1 – with banquet
day 2 – no banquet
day 3 – with banquet
etc

Event 3 – Banquet Ticket only
price 1 normal meal
price 2 vegetarian meal

SO i assumed that what I would do is:

1. Create an event for the Conference, and put the pricing options for General admission / Members Admissions on that event.
2. Create the second event, and create the pricing options for day passes
3. Create the third event for just buying a banquet ticket a la carte

Now I make the add to cart short codes for Events 2 and 3 by adding their unique ID’s, then I paste the shortcodes into the Main Event Description.

Last is hiding Events 2 and 3 from the calendar… Looks like the only way to accomplish it is to create a category “Main Calendar” or something and set my calendar shortcode to only display the events in the “Main Calendar” category.

I assign Main Calendar category to the Main Event, assign no category to the 2nd and 3rd events.

Not a terrible amount of work-arounding but is this the way Multi-Events is intended to be used?

Thanks for confirming or correcting.
