I have tried doing this in a number of different ways but cannot seem to accomplish the same. I am able to do this in Event Registration Pro easily. I prefer your component since it has a few other things the other component does not. Here is what I am trying to do. For a golf event I want to offer sponsorship packages for 2 or more golfers that includes logo display, lunch etc. Gold, silver etc. Then I also want to offer individual tickets for people who do not want to get a sponsorship. I tried doing this via custom fields and here is the problem. Creating the packages in custom fields, makes it appear under individual registration, which I do not want it to, since it is for 2 or more golfers. Under group registration I can pick 2 or more golfer and pick sponsorship package and then enter info for each golfer. But for a individual registration, I simply want to show the individual pricing. But I also want the flexibility to offer the individual pricing for someone that does not want a package and just wants the golf for 2 or more persons. The sponsorship packages have golf plus logo display, advertising etc.
How do i do this. It seems the component is designed for simple ticket sales and not complex package offerings. With Event registration Pro, each package appears as a line item in the registration form and I can pick number of packages from 1 to many for each item and it simply totals it in the end. Just like a shopping cart with many products. All this is under one event.
You are incorrect to say DT Reg is intended only for simple sales. Our custom field usage allows you to get much more complex than ANY other solution offers... especially with our conditional fields structure that no one else has.
Within each event, you can set a custom field to work for ONLY group registrations so those particular fields will only show in a group registration situation. No problem. Then either either type of registration, you could create custom fields that only show IF the user selects certain options from another custom field. Looks sharp for the end user.
You can configure the fields in so many different ways. You should watch our custom fields video tutorials... that will answer some of your questions. Nothing you have mentioned is unable to be done in DT Register. As you set it up, we'll be happy to help if you need further direction. The videos will be a great help though too.
