Register Now & Add To Cart Shortcode

Hello,
I would like to use an “Add to Cart” and “Register Now” short code to to generate text links on a page for 1 specific event. I am using MER.

I would like the “Add to Cart” to add the item to the sidebar cart widget. I would like the Register Now shortcode to take the user to the registration page.

I prefer not to use the default event template layouts for registering or adding to cart, just text links.

How can I do this?

Thanks!

Hi Brian,

To create the Add to Cart link you can use the [ESPRESSO_CART_LINK] shortcode, passing only the event_id as a parameter (possibly using the Anchor parameter too to change the text).

There is no shortcode for just the Register Now button as this is basically just a link to the event registration page.

To build this you edit the Event.
Go to Event Espresso -> Event Overview.
Find the event you wish to link to.
Edit the event and look under the Event Name/Title. You’ll see 3 buttons.
‘Shortcode’, ‘Short URL’, ‘Full URL’
Click Short URL, copy the URL from the pop up then use that URL to create a link for that event.

To create the link go to the page you want the link on, highlight the word/phrase you are using for the link, (In this case ‘Register Now’) click the link icon (http://take.ms/FnA7B), paste the URL in the URL field and click Add Link. http://d.pr/i/8K4m

You can also embed the full Registration Form/Event within another page using the shortcodes [SINGLEEVENT single_event_id=”your_event_identifier”] (for the full event) or [ESPRESSO_REG_FORM event_id=*event id*] for just the registration form.

Hope that helps.

Hi Brian,

Add to Cart – [ESPRESSO_CART_LINK event_id=”1″ anchor=”Register for This Event”]

Just change the event id and the anchor text.

Register Now – why not just use a standard link to the events page? eg

<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/event-registration/?ee=3">Register Now</a>

Thanks guys, that helped.

Per Dean’s advice, I changed my ESPRESSO_CART_LINK to include the event ID. It seems to be “trying” to work better now. However, I get redirected to a page that says “View Cart” when I click the “Add this event to your cart” link. When I go back, the cart widget is updated updates but with no event title.

I need the events to load into the cart widget on the same page: link

Any ideas?

Thanks again!

Hi,

The View Cart link is built in functionality, you will be hard pressed to remove it.

The refresh issue is a known issue, and we have a ticket raised to look into it. In the meantime Sidney proposed a manual fix for it here – https://staging.eventespresso.com/topic/shopping-cart-widget-please-have-it-show-without-adding-to-cart/
