Well, there’s an easy way to do redirection now:

in the EME settings, section “RSVP: price options”, there’s an option called “Payment form header format”. There you can add any code you like. The default is “The booking price in .. is ..”, but you can easily put there the following javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">

addEvent(window, 'load', function() { setTimeout("document.forms['paypal_form'].submit()", timeout);})

</script>

With “timeout” being a value in milliseconds. Play around with that to auto-submit the paypal button.

Using this in the payment form header should work (just tested this):

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready( function($) {
$( "#paypal_form" ).submit();
});
</script>

I’m trying to set up an event in which a person can RSVP and pay tuition. I’ve set up the event along with the script above in the payment form header. I also ticked the boxes beside (Enable registration for this event); (Require approval for registration); (Auto-approve registration upon payment); as well as paypal in the payment method section. When I test the form, it adds the user to the list of participants but doesn’t redirect to paypal for payment. I also see code at the top of the page like this:

function postwith (to,p) { var myForm = document.createElement(“form”); myForm.method=”post” ; myForm.action = to ; for (var k in p) { var myInput = document.createElement(“input”) ; myInput.setAttribute(“name”, k) ; myInput.setAttribute(“value”, p[k]); myForm.appendChild(myInput) ; } document.body.appendChild(myForm) ; myForm.submit() ; document.body.removeChild(myForm) ; } postwith(‘#eme-rsvp-message’,{“eme_eventAction”:”pay_booking”,”eme_message”:”Your booking has been recorded”,”payment_id”:”12″,”eme_payment_nonce”:”c482f57cd0″}); ” />

Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks for your reply but I’m not a developer so I’m not sure what any of that means. I installed the plugin and tried to set it up and it’s not working as I expect it to out of the box.

Thanks for your patience. I had added that code after searching for a solution to the problem initially. I have just now removed the code from the form header and re-submitted the form. I get similar results. The form just resets; the user is added to the list of participants. I get email asking for approval. The code at the top of the page that appears is as follows:

function postwith (to,p) { var myForm = document.createElement(“form”); myForm.method=”post” ; myForm.action = to ; for (var k in p) { var myInput = document.createElement(“input”) ; myInput.setAttribute(“name”, k) ; myInput.setAttribute(“value”, p[k]); myForm.appendChild(myInput) ; } document.body.appendChild(myForm) ; myForm.submit() ; document.body.removeChild(myForm) ; } postwith(‘#eme-rsvp-message’,{“eme_eventAction”:”pay_booking”,”eme_message”:”Your booking has been recorded”,”payment_id”:”16″,”eme_payment_nonce”:”b7196874b4″});

This means that there’s probably an issue with the theme, preventing further submissions (like an empty first line in the html-code).
Can you post an example link?

Ok, I think I found the problem at your side. The html created includes some facebook headers (I think), like this

<meta name="description" property="og:description" content="

And bizarrely, the javascript function to redirect to the paypal button is after that last opening-quote. Therefore it is being shown on screen …
Do you have anything configured in EME that creates these facebook headers (it might be a bug)?
Or another plugin that creates those headers?

If you don’t know, please mail me an admin account at liedekef@telenet.be so I can check myself.

Thank you very much! I’ll just copy what you said to the theme maker. Donation coming to you. Thanks for the help.
