Shortcode to insert booking form on a custom page?

    I’m looking for a shortcode that will insert a ‘master’ booking form into any custom page. I have an event that occurs in two different locations, at two separate times, 2-3 times each month, but all are listed with the same category — seminar. Is there a shortcode I can use to insert a form into a custom page, allowing users to select which location would be convenient while filling out their registration info on the same page? I’d rather they not have to first go to the events list page and from there go to each individual single event page to register. Using the free version of EM… what will be the easiest way to display a ‘one size fits all’ form?

    Also having a display issue with the single event page form. On my screen it only shows the title, spaces, comment and submit button labels. On other screens (and on mobile) it shows up just fine with all the correct labels for the same content.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    you can use shortcode [event post_id=”123″]#_BOOKINGFORM[/event]

    Hi angelo_nwl, thanks for getting back to me quickly.

    So this code is similar to what I need, but not quite… I tested this code already and it seems to work for recurring events… except this is not quite a recurring event…. I have two recurring locations but the dates can be either the 1st, 2nd or 3rd Monday of the month.

    How do I have the user select the location and day, while filling out the form on the same page?

    Thanks!

    Presumably these are recurring events that you’ve detached from a recurring event?

    No, they actually aren’t. They are the same event that recur every month, but on different days, at two different locations.

    hi,

    can you clear what do you mean by How do I have the user select the location and day, while filling out the form on the same page? ?

    thanks

    Hi angelo_nwl,

    I mean how can I have the user select which location (and dates at that location), and also fill out the form for the event, all on the same page?

    Just to clarify again, I need to create one form that I can insert into a custom page, which will work for all the events.

    Thanks!

    you would need a booking form for each event. the only way to acheive what you want would be to output all the booking forms but wrap them in e.g. an accordion or something that hides each event until clicked on.

    e.g.

    [events_list]<div><span>#_EVENTDATES</span>#_BOOKINGFORM</div>[/events_list]

    this is a generic example though, you’d need to add the relevant html and js yourself to make the accordions work

    Hmm…

    Thanks Marcus… I was thinking more in terms of a location drop down menu that (when selected) would trigger an ‘available dates’ drop down menu, on the form that would collect the user info…

    Is that possible? Thanks again.

    sorry, for the confusion; but did you mean locations dropdowm select in a booking form?

    In short, it’s possible, but requires custom coding.

    Oh ok, Marcus… might have to figure something out…

    And yes, I did mean a locations drop down menu angelo_nwl.
