    Hi and thanks for this geat plugin!

    But i’m still searching for a solution to solve following scenario:

    Having an event with 100 seats in multiple seat categories and limited space in each category. Lets say 20 seats/spaces in cat A, 40 in cat B, 10 in cat C and 30 in cat D.

    Creating an Event with 100 seats and a custom field with cat A/B/C/D dropdown is not appropriate, because i don’t know how to count the booked categories in the custom field and avoid booking of out of space category.

    Rgds,

    Werner

    The trunk version now contains the code for multi-seat events: the same as multiprice events, but now you can limit the number of seats per price category if wanted

    Works fine so far!

    Question for Bookinglist: Is it possible to print only booked seats > 0 (with an if-clause)?

    Why not just set the minimum seats to book to 1 then?

    And what do you mean with the booking list (which shortcode/placeholders do you use)?

    OK, to clear this: I want to use EME to plan an Event for a car-club. On this Event, we offer “seats” for a maximum of 100 cars. And we offer 5 different guided tours (for which multicategory works so far). The maximum seats to book is 1 per booking and seat-category.

    On the Events page i provide a “Booking-list”, containing some selected fields, for prospects to see who (eg. of his friends) booked already.

    To give you an example, see this (demo) site: http://events.mx5-freunde.at/events/4/action-days-2015-test/ As it’s a demo feel free to book a seat to see what happens.

    It’s german, but maybe you will better understand what i mean. Don’t worry about the first six bookings, where are no entries in the field “Tour”. I changed the event from single- to multicategory after updating.

    Sorry for my english, hope it’s understandable.

    Use [events_if] for each seat category and #_BOOKEDSEATSxx then.

    Or, since it should be the case, see if this change works:

    Thanks a lot! [events_if] does exactly what i was looking for! (I didnt try the other stuff)

    I appreciate your help!

    If someone other has similar request, i used this for my booking list:

    [events_if tag='#_BOOKEDSEATS1' notvalue='0']Tour 1 [/events_if]

    [events_if tag='#_BOOKEDSEATS2' notvalue='0']Tour 2 [/events_if]

    … and so on for every seat category. Shows “Tour x” only if value of booked seats other then 0.

    Rgds,

    Werner
