A customer complained when they registered on a client site: the confirmation message wrongly assumed the cost of registration.

Here's the scenario:

Registration for an exhibitor is $90. But if the exhibitor brings additional people to the event (group registration), each additional person is $40 (to cover their lunch, etc. - things all attendees are given).

This is set up by using the optional Group Registration Rates on the Discounts & Fees tab of the event creation. The Individual Registration Rate is $90, and I have a list of anywhere from 2 to 10 at a flat rate of $90 + $40 for each additional. I've been using this feature in DT Register for years.

Unfortunately, the [FEE BREAKDOWN] tag shows that as:

Payment Details:
Your total Registration cost: $ 130.00
Registration Fee: 2 x $ 65.00
Payment Type: Mail in Payment
Confirmation Number: GIPCC1554

The obvious problem is that it is NOT 2 x $ 65.00 - it is Registration = $90.00 and additional members at $40.00 each.

I don't expect DT Register's fields to know that or to figure it all out - but I also don't expect DT Register to decide that a $90 registration fee, when two are in a group, averages out to $65 per person.

If there had been three, it would be $170.00 total and show as 3 x $56.66666666666666, which would be ridiculous.

I assume this is hard-coded, and I would not expect you to customize it for me. But you definitely need to re-think the logic because I suspect this is how many people use the payment customizations.

Can you please work on these assumptions so that such things do not happen?

Thank you,
Ernie

Hi Ernie,

Could you share your site's credentials so I can take a look at the setup of this event and see if we can help?

I've added the credentials.

Thank you,
Ernie

Let us check and will get back to you.

Modified the file administrator\components\com_dtregister\lib\tagparser.php. Please see it now .

    gslitt91 I didn't receive an email about your latest response. I just saw it now when I logged in here for something else.

    I'm strapped for time right now, but I'll assume it's fixed. I'll likely hear from the customer if they run into any problems.

    Thank you,
    Ernie
