[14-October-2024] Events Booking version 5.0.1 releases

Dear customers !

Today, I am happy to announce the next major release of Events Booking, version 5.0.1. In general, this continue the effort of improving code base to use latest/modern Joomla API after we released separate version 5.0.0 for Joomla 4/Joomla 5. It also contains small bugs fixes and improvements. Below are the details in this release:

1. Improve SQL field type

Allow setting Prompt Text (use as the first option for the field). For example, if you create custom field to display list of users, you can set Prompt Text to Select User to make it more clear for your users.

2. Allow controlling when to show Number Registered Users for your event

Sometime, you only want to show Number Registered User for your event it is greater than certain value (you do not want visitors know that the event has not had anyone or only few users registered for it yet). For that, you can use new added config option called Only Show Number Registered Users If Greater Than Or Equal

3. Improve Events Export/Import

Added free_event_registration_status information to events export/import

4. Allow easier selecting events

If you have too many events, selecting an event from events dropdown (on Registrants Management screen, when you add new Registrant...) could be a challenge. In that case, you can set Enable Select Event From Modal config option to Yes. By doing that, instead of having to find and select an event from a dropdown, you can click on a button to see list of events from modal popup, then search and select the event you want from there.

5. General Code Improvement

As mentioned, we continue the effort of refactoring Events Booking code base to use latest Joomla 1/ Joomla 5 API in this release. That improves code quality of the extension and make sure it will continue working well with future releases of Joomla.

6. Bugs Fixes
 
Some bugs found, reported by customers and got fixed in this release:

- Coupon Discount is not applied properly when using Shopping Cart 
- Only send PDF tickets to group members if it is configured
- Passing correct mime type for ICS file in email
- Fixed selected option is not cleared when clicking on remove icon on some filter dropdowns in the backend
- Allow display plugin outputs properly when multiple events details are being displayed on a single page (using page builder)
- Fixed sending reminder email when 6th reminder is used

Please update your site to this latest version of Events Booking to use these improvements. Thanks for continue using our products and support our development

Tuan

I am not allowed to download the last version - how can that be ?
Best regards Charlotte

Hi Charlotte

Could be because your subscription was expired ? Could you please submit a support ticket so that we can check it from there

2. Allow controlling when to show Number Registered Users for your event

Sometime, you only want to show Number Registered User for your event it is greater than certain value (you do not want visitors know that the event has not had anyone or only few users registered for it yet). For that, you can use new added config option called Only Show Number Registered Users If Greater Than Or Equal

Where is this feature? I looked in event settings and in general component config and did not see it after updating component. Thank you.

Hi Tuan
I think you're right - I'm expired! Thanks for reply....

Hi Tuan,

I'm very interested in the point 4 of the last release (5.0.1) :  4. Allow easier selecting events
"If you have too many events, selecting an event from events dropdown (on Registrants Management screen, when you add new Registrant...) could be a challenge. In that case, you can set Enable Select Event From Modal config option to Yes. By doing that, instead of having to find and select an event from a dropdown, you can click on a button to see list of events from modal popup, then search and select the event you want from there."

As mentionned in a ticket (not solve for the moment), the events fields doesn't show all results (for exemple, my events have the year in their title, but if i tip "2024", the tool didn't show all result at all (let's say only 3 on 20)).

So i was happy to read this upgrade... unfortunately, nothing happen. the display and result are the same... i made override in the template/html files, but event if i deactivate them, nothing change.
What am i doing wrong?

I put my comment in the ticket too... Thank you for your help!

Just want to update that it does not work on Baptiste's website because there is override to registrants layout there. I updated the override with the new code and it is working OK now

Regards,

Tuan

Yes, i can confirm, Event Booking works perfectly, as ususal!

Thank you Tuan
