TOPIC: HELP! How can I...

I have DT Register installed and functioning properly with jevents.

I have to set up a event that is essentially free but people must pay for each day(s) they attend. In other words the Saturday-Sunday event is free but,
- if they attend Saturday there is a $50 charge
- If they attend Sunday there is a seperate charge for $50
-if they attend both Saturday and Sunday there is a $100 charge
- if they bring a guest to dinner on Saturday there is an additional $75 charge.

These items would be selections in a custom field..

So I need these, ideally radio buttons to accumulate the charges per which they select and pay via paypal at the end. Problem is the event is basically free until they select which event(s) they will be attending. But if I say the event is 0.00 or free the paypal option doesnt appear at the end of the registration. I also attempted adding this new field for these selections, but its not charging per selection either. So, how can I make this work? :

Thanks in advance!

Hello. This is very workable. If you setup the custom fields correctly, it will calculate the new price and show it on the confirmation page... then the user will be given payment options as you have configured.

I would suggest a radio button or dropdown that gives three options:
Saturday Only|Sunday Only|Both Days

Assign the appropriate fee values which would look like this:
50|50|100

Be sure to fill in the Selection Limits field. If there is no limit, just enter:
0|0|0

In this case, I don't think you'd need to give an actual limit. The capacity check would handle this for you... if needed.

Then create another custom field like:
Will you have a guest at Saturday's Dinner? Yes|No

If they select Yes, then the $75 can be added.

This is standard DT Register functionality Take a few minutes and watch our custom fields video tutorial to see all of this if you need further assistance. It shows a handful of examples doing things like this. Thanks.

Thanks a bunch, I've got it working now. I had the fee field with dollar signs which blocked it from charging. Its now working correctly thanks to your help.

I have one other question, in the event list, how can change the even list links to another color without adversly affecting the other links of the site. I found the main.css, but simply adding

a {
color: #2c79b3;
text-decoration: none;}

a:hover, a:active, a:focus {
color: #2c79b3;
text-decoration: underline;}

will change the events links, but also the site of course. How or where can I make the change only to the DTRegister event links only? :

Thanks again!

You need to add the link styling like this:

td.eventlist a:link {
color: #2c79b3;
text-decoration: none;}

That should do the trick!

Almost..

I have two events, the second one and the location links for both changed correctly, but the first event title (row 1) didnt change, lits still the template color. Is there a second class I need to declare as well for the first row or first event?

Try using:

tr.eventListRow1 a:link {

and

tr.eventListRow2 a:link {

as there are two different row styling.
