Advanced Event Configuration

The following advanced configurations are available for an event. You can add as many configuration lines as you desire.

Table of Contents

    Booking Page

    Enforce default language

    For new users, and if language-specific booking URL is not used, we attempt to detect the user's language from their browser settings. If you want to override the mechanism of using the browser's language you can set a default for the event, eg.:

    Default-language: de-DE

    The following language codes are available: en-US, es-ES, de-DE, fr-FR, da-DK, it-IT, nb-NO, pl-PL, sv-SE, fi-FI, nl-NL, lv-LV, cs-CZ.

    Override messages about participating in the entire event

    By default (unless "Skip arrival/departure question" is selected under Basic Event Settings > Advanced) participants are asked if they will participate in the entire event: "I will participate in the entire event". If they say no to that we will show the message "We prefer that you participate in the entire event, but if that is not possible for you please let us know when you will arrive and depart".

    You can override one or both of these messages using the following lines:

    Override-participate-entire-event-message: I/we will be present all days.
Override-participate-entire-event-encouragement: If you can't join us for the full event please let us know when you will arrive and depart.

    To not show any encouragement message at all use Override-participate-entire-event-message: none.

    To skip asking if they will participate in the entire event and just always have them select the arrival/departure date you can replace the checkbox with a message — for example:

    Message-instead-of-entire-event-checkbox: Arrival & Departure Dates

    It's possible to provide multiple translations — see Multilingual Strings.

    Override first arrival and last departure date

    When participants select their arrival and departure dates in multi-day events the system by default assume the first possible arrival date and last possible departure date should be the same as the event starting and ending date.

    This is possible to override with the one or both of the following lines:

    Override-first-arrival-date: 2023-05-29
Override-last-departure-date: 2023-06-05

    The format of the dates must be yyyy-mm-dd.

    Set placeholder text for comment field

    Comment-placeholder: Any allergies, sleeping needs etc.

    It's possible to provide multiple translations — see Multilingual Strings.

    Close booking system for Sabbath observance

    When an event has the location's latitude/longitude configured, the system will close bookings and booking access (for participants only, not organizers) between Friday sunset and Saturday sunset for that specific event. User's time zone is not considered.

    Sabbath-closing[location]: 55.6761, 12.5683

    Payment Page

    Extra message on payment page

    You can add a custom message on the payment page:

    Payment-page-extra-message[under-header]: We are pleased about your interest in our event. We look forward to seeing you!

    It's possible to provide multiple translations — see Multilingual Strings.

    Extra currency conversions on payment page

    If you have multiple bank accounts in different currencies, or you just want to show conversions of the amount to pay, you can make the system display the different options on the payment page.

    Create a line for each currency as in the example below and provide the following details:

    • [NOK] : The 3-letter currency code according to these standards, in this case NOK (Norwegian krone).
    • inCountry (required) : The 2-letter country code of this currency according to these standards.
    • exchRate (required) : The amount in the current currency that is equal to 1 of the standard event currency. The decimal separator MUST be a dot, not comma.
    • fixedConversions : If you want to use a fixed conversion of certain amounts (instea of using the exchange rate) you can specify a comma-separated list of such conversions here. No decimal numbers allowed.
    • accountNum : If payments of this currency should go to another bank account, provide the details here.
    • IBAN, BIC, bankAddr, and ownerAddr : Optional fields you may use as needed.

    To not show separate bank accounts but only show the amount in this additional currency, leave out setting accountNum and IBAN.

    Example:

    Extra-currencies[NOK]: inCountry: NO; exchRate: 1.006; fixedConversions: 745=750, 820=825, 895=900; accountNum: 54-120354784; IBAN: NO231234567812345678; BIC: ABCDGBXY; bankAddr: 123 Oak Avenue...; ownerAddr: 456 Main Street...
Extra-currencies[SEK]: inCountry: SE; exchRate: 1.14; fixedConversions: 745=850, 820=940, 895=1020; accountNum: Pg 19 66 78-7; IBAN: SE129876543210987654; BIC: EFGHFRZW

    Override message on payment page regarding bank transfers

    By default the message "Please pay the fee as soon as possible, at the latest in 14 days" is shown together with the payment details for bank transfers (doesn't apply to other payment methods).

    To override the message use following line:

    Bank-transfer-urgency-message: Please pay within 7 days.

    It's possible to provide multiple translations — see Multilingual Strings.

    To not show any message at all use Bank-transfer-urgency-message: none.
