TOPIC: Total Registration Cost on Registration Form

I turned off the display of Total Registration Cost on the registration form page because until the user registers, how can they know their total costs. I'm now working on another web site and can not remember how I did this. So far I cant find it on the forums either. Using 2.7.1 and 2.7.2.

The total price showing at the top dynamically changes with any change made to the form that affects the price... showing the user how their selections are affecting the price. Why would you not want that??

If you want to turn off the breakdown of fees on the confirmation page, you can disable that in the configuration.

Just for an example. The reason to turn it off (or otherwise change the way it works). There is one place to put the event fee. $200.00 This shows up on the event listing page and thus on the top of the registration page. But you advertised Adults $200 and Children $100. So when the person starts to register what they see is Total Registration Costs $200. But they want to register a child. They see a total already thinking they will have to pay the total.

Thats my opinion. Obviously an event pricing model affects us all differently. Perhaps a different wording or allow the wording to be changed per event like that message allowed over the registration page.

I still wonder how I got rid of it on my other site? :shock: I'm no php coder, so I'm pretty sure I didnt edit any php files.

Without modifying code, there is no way to remove it completely. However, here's what I suggest. Set the base price of the event as $0. Then the registration cost line will not display because there isn't one. Then set the Child/Adult selection field to add the $100 or $200 cost. Once the selection is made, the form will show the correct amount. No confusion How's that sound?

Hey! Thats what I was thinking of! I just didnt know if it would work . Thanks for confirming it for me.
