It is useful when use want to generate separate PDF ticket for each purchased ticket (which can be used to check-in registrants) but do not want to ask the person who perform registrations to enter data of all these group members (save time, and make registration process less complicated). Usually, it be be used in two cases:

- You use group registration and do not collect members information.
- Or you use Ticket Types but do not want to collect member information for each purchased ticket.

We added a hidden tool to allow you send up to 6 reminder emails. Follow instructions on this page eventbookingdoc.joomservices.com/tools#s...rt-up-to-6-reminders if you want to use up to 6 reminders.

2. Allow Translating Speakers On Multilingual Website

Allow translating speakers on a multilingual website. Keep in mind that you cannot translate speakers directly on add/edit event screen (for technical reasons). You will need to access to access to Events Booking , then Setup-> Speakers, add/edit speaker and do the translation from there

3. Improve Event Custom Fields Integration

1. Compatible with Joomla 5.0 Native

Joomla 5 is planned to be released later today. We did final testing and make sure Events Booking compatible with Joomla 5.0 native (without requiring backward compatible plugin). So if you want to update your site to Joomla 5, Events Booking is already compatible

You can now control what event you want to enable moving waiting list users to become registrants automatically when someone cancels his registration for the event (instead of it is processed for all events like before).

[11-September-2023] Events Booking version 4.6.0 releases

Today, I am happy to announce next release of Events Booking, version 4.6.0. Below are the improvements in this release: 1. Improve Registration Form /...

joomdonation.com

1. Support Custom Field Dependency On Ticket Types

If you use Ticket Types, you usually want to collect different information base on the ticket types which users choose for their registration. This is now possible. When you add/edit a custom field, you can choose the Ticket Types which the custom field depend on and the custom field will only be displayed if users choose the selected Ticket Types for their registration.

2. Allow Sending Certificates Via Reminder Emails

If you use Certificate feature in Events Booking, you can now deliver certificates PDF automatically to your registrants in one of the three supported reminder emails (there are new parameters added to System - Events Booking Reminder plugin to do that). Keep in mind that the system will only send certificate if the reminder emails are configured to send after event (it does not make sense to send certificate before event, when users does not attend the event yet)

3. Incomplete Payment Registrations Notification

Sometime, users can register for your events but does not complete payment for some reasons (payment processing failed, ignore payment process....) and you might want to know about these registrations (to contact them and ask them to see the reasons and encourage them to register again...). For that, you can use System - Incomplete Payment Registrations Notification

4. Improve Event Attachment Handling

You can now configure the system to only send event attachments to paid registrants only. That mean if someone registers for your event and use offline payment, he won't receive attachments until his registration is approved by administrator. That's useful when you only want to deliver these attachments/resources to paid users only. Just change Send Event Attachments config option to Only To Paid Registrants

5. Improve MPDF plugin
If you use MPDF plugin to generate pdf files (invoices, tickets, certificates), there are some improvements of the plugin which you might want to download the plugin and update:
- Update MPDF library to latest version
- Handle background image (for ticket, certificate) properly. That does not work before
- Support different css files, each pdf file for css code for a type of pdf file generated (invoice, ticket, certificate). See eventbookingdoc.joomservices.com/plugins...to-css-file-directly
- Allow using custom TTF font if the fonts shipped with the plugin does not work for your need eventbookingdoc.joomservices.com/plugins/mpdf#use-custom-font

6. Other Improvements
- Remove user from waiting list when he/she successfully registered for the event.
- Allow using event custom field tags in New Event Notification and Event Approved Emails
- Allow hiding Location field on frontend submit event form
- Added a new parameter to Ticket Types plugin to allow control default status of Collect Members Information checkbox

1. Support Mass Mail Templates

You can now setup mass mail templates. Then when you send mass mail to registrants, you can choose the one of the
existing templates instead of always have to type the email message manually.

2. Added Events Booking - Assign Checked In Registrants To User Groups plugin plugin

This plugin allows assigning registrants to the user groups you want when they are checked in. It is useful in case you want to give checked in registrants access to certain resources on your site using their assigned user groups (ACL)

Added parameters to allow controlling funding sources, button styles. If you are using EB Standard Checkout payment plugin, please download and upgrade your site to this latest version of payment plugin to use these improvements.

4. Some small bugs fixes

- Fixed custom field could not be assigned to all events in some special cases
- Fixed warnings when create new location from frontend submit event form

Today, I am happy to announce new version of Events Booking 4.4.4 . This release contains some small improvements listed below:

1. Improve Custom Fields Assignment

You can now assign custom fields to: Categories, Events or both Categories and Events. It is controlled via Custom Fields Assignment config option. For existing installations, for backward compatible purpose, it will continue working as how it was (I don't want to change existing behavior during update). So if you want to be able to assign custom fields to both categories and events, please change Custom Fields Assignment config option. See documentation to understand the power of this improvement.

2. Added Events Booking - Failure Payment Notification plugin

This plugin allows sending notification to admin when payment for a registration failed for some reasons so that admin knows about it. See documentation to understand how to configure the plugin.

3. Added System - Events Booking Clean Email Logs plugin

This plugins allows deleting emails from Emails Logs automatically when these emails are older than certain number of days (90 days by default). That would help prevent storing too many emails in the email logs, thus help reducing the database table size and your hosting space.

4. Added Module Cache Support

Added parameters to support caching module output to several modules in Events Booking package. If you enable Cache on your site, you can enable cache in these modules, too, to make your site load faster.

5. Other Improvements and Bugs Fixes

- Allows filtering registrants base on categories from frontend registrants management
- Support Conditional Text in PDF Tickets.
- Updated TCPDF library to latest version
- Improve PayPal Payment Processing Logic so that registrants will have to pay the whole fee charged by PayPal (in case you setup payment processing fee parameters in PayPal payment plugin - the old calculation logic is not accurate 100%)
- Fix bug on re-ordering sponsors from Sponsors management

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

Regards,

Tuan
