Date-triggered Custom Fields in EB

I find I've been doing a lot of manual "activate custom field X / deactivate custom field Y" in order to handle things like multi-tiered early-bird discounts, valid-until-certain-date add-ons (eg. meal add-ons that must be booked min 1 week before event, and not available after that date), compensating for different individual vs. group early-bird rates (EB doesn't let you set different early-bird rates for group and individual registrants), etc.

Would you consider adding support for date-triggering custom fields at the event level? This would make custom fields far more flexible, and enable users to handle more advanced price tiering and options.

Mockup example:

Hi James

To be honest, this kind of requirement is too specific and not many customers will need it, so I don't think I can implement it in the core download package.

Looking at your requirement, I might think and implement it in a different way. For example, allow defining discount rules based on number of registrants, registration date....

That would give end users more flexible when they want to provide discount for the event... Something we can think serious on it and add support for in the future

Thanks for your response and alternate implementation suggestion, Tuan.
My event team comes up with promos that I have to somehow implement. Anything that can be added would be a big help (or any suggestions on how I can access the early-bird date in code so that I can write my own field-disable/enable routine -- I guess I can just query the db myself, but a already-existing-variable would be so much simpler) .

Hi James

The logic for calculating registration fee is all located in one file components/com_eventbooking/helper/helper.php

Look at the function calculateIndividualRegistrationFee

calculateGroupRegistrationFee

You can see the logic to calculate early bird discount... , then think and found the best solution to meet your need. I am sorry for could not implement this feature to help you

Tuan
