Hello Yves,

Thanks for the Mat’5 release with all the improvements and additional features. Here are some questions:

The term "Please notice that this booking has event specific different fees", does not appear at the head of the modern booking form with the ticket type field, only on the bootstrap booking form. Can or will this be added in the future to the modern form? Also, is there a method to add text to this boxed area where the ticket type is?

I really like the bootstrap template for the event list :) , activated through Menu Item, though the exclusion of the red, amber and green icons to inform a user of an event's status is excluded. Can or will these icons be added in the future?

Will Mat’5 work if the template selected from the backend is Modern and the Menu Item selection for the component is Bootstrap and vice versa?

I see that I will need to make a few CSS adjustments to relevant Matukio CSS files. Can Matukio CSS files be overridden (so that they do not have to be updated when Mat’5 is) by putting edited copies of the Matukio CSS files, with their original names, in the directory root path: templates/MyTemplateName/html… or is there a specific method for your CSS files?

Thanks again,

Mr B.

Hello,

The term "Please notice that this booking has event specific different fees", does not appear at the head of the modern booking form with the ticket type field, only on the bootstrap booking form.


There is no separate template for the booking form (the bootstrap and modern template just exists at the event-list overview and in the event details), it's the same for both. The text should be also the same?!

Also, is there a method to add text to this boxed area where the ticket type is?


No currently not, will add a option for that in a later version.

I really like the bootstrap template for the event list :) , activated through Menu Item, though the exclusion of the red, amber and green icons to inform a user of an event's status is excluded. Can or will these icons be added in the future?


It's now displayed directly and not with a lights system, e.g. as long as nothing shows up the status is green. If an event is cancelled the background becomes striped red and a Status: cancelled is added etc.

Will Mat’5 work if the template selected from the backend is Modern and the Menu Item selection for the component is Bootstrap and vice versa?


Aye that will work. The menu item overrides the setting in the backend and you can mix them.

I see that I will need to make a few CSS adjustments to relevant Matukio CSS files. Can Matukio CSS files be overridden (so that they do not have to be updated when Mat’5 is) by putting edited copies of the Matukio CSS files, with their original names, in the directory root path: templates/MyTemplateName/html… or is there a specific method for your CSS files?


You can have template overrides. But CSS overrides you normally just place into your Joomla template (which is loaded after the extension css files, so no !important is necessary and changes will not be overridden by updates).

Kind regards,

Yves

Hello Yves,

Thanks for your reply. I should clarify the term “Please notice that this booking has event specific different fees.” This only appears above the Ticket type field on the Bootstrap template for the booking form if more than one place is bookable and the event has different fees. If different fees are available just for a single booking, without the option to select more than one place to book, the explanation “Please notice that this booking has event specific different fees” does not appear!

For the Modern template booking form, the explanation “Please notice that this booking has event specific different fees” does not appear at all above the Ticket type field when an event has different fees! Check this for yourself please. I have included two images below, of the same event, with different fees. One is the Modern view the other is Bootstrap.

To be a little more specific with the css files, I would need to make some changes in the css file at the end of this path: media/lib_compojoom/css/bootstrap-3.1.1.css . Where would I have to put an edited version of this file so that I would not have to update it when Matukio is updated? Thanks again.

Mr B.

Funny fact is that this message should only show up when there is an error with the different fees, for example when you load an old booking where the fees changed after booking - so not sure why you see it. You can see at the demo page that this is nowhere showing up.

To be a little more specific with the css files, I would need to make some changes in the css file at the end of this path: media/lib_compojoom/css/bootstrap-3.1.1.css . Where would I have to put an edited version of this file so that I would not have to update it when Matukio is updated? Thanks again.


It's not a good idea to make changes to this file directly (because they get overwritten every update etc.) - You can copy the whole file to your template and add it to the header of yours but this not the way it is intended to. Just copy the lines you change into your Joomla template css file.

Hello Yves,

Thanks for your reply. I’ve seen your Firebug/CSS tutorial and your colour example works. I'm trying, but I’m unable to get a text alignment to work JUST for the div element “mat_tickets_holder_inner”

The basis for aligning the text to the left on the booking form is in the (Prostar) template.css is on line 1645 which looks like the following:

.form-horizontal .control-label {
float: left;
padding-top: 5px;
text-align: right;
width: 160px;
}

See the attached images below for text-align: right (default) and text-align: left, for the ticket type labels on my site.

However, to change the property text-align: right to text-align: left, puts all the label text for the form to the left and I would assume any other forms on my site. I’ve tried adding the Matukio div element “mat_tickets_holder_inner” to the selector and then adding it to the base of the (Prostar) template.css as shown in your tutorial e.g.

.mat_tickets_holder_inner .form-horizontal .control-label {
text-align: left;
}

This results in no change to the text alignment just for the ticket type area. I’m clearly doing something wrong, so could you guide me for the best solution that affects only the CSS for ticket type label. Thanks again.

Hello Yves,

Is there a matukio/prostar template CSS solution to the enquiry I mentioned above or is it minimal issue that does not deserve any attention? Thanks for your previous support efforts. :)

Sorry for the late response - you messed up the ordering (holder inner is in the form - so your css addresses zero elements) - that's the reason your code is not working ;)

If you copy it at the end of the template this should be enough:

.form-horizontal .control-label {
text-align: left;
}

or for only the tickets

.form-horizontal . mat_tickets_holder_inner .control-label {
text-align: left;
}

Or for all elements: (including booking fields)

.form-horizontal . #mat_booking .control-label {
text-align: left;
}

Cheers,

Yves

P.S.: Not sure if i should add it the template - because the float: right is wanted by the prototype designers :/

Hello Yves,

Thanks for your reply and the mini CSS lesson. I’ll try it out… I’m sure it should work the way you have described.

Ok… Some more form issues… I think this particular issue happened with the change to Mat’5. Adding additional Booking Fields to a form does not show which fields are required (with a red asterisk) when this setting is applied: “Text|1||more text.” One will only know if an additional Booking Field is required when clicking on the “Next” button and then you realise certain additional Booking Fields have not been completed. Are you able to allow the asterisk to be displayed for additional Booking Fields that are "required" in the next update?

The COM_MATUKIO_BOOKING_INTRO constant is very useful to allow an explanation before a user makes a booking. However, is it possible to have this intro constant above the Ticket type field (which also part of the booking form) or create a constant e.g. COM_MATUKIO_TICKET_TYPE_INTRO that can placed above the Ticket type field (and below the event’s title, time and date) so that an explanation can be given about the different fees for Ticket type? This would really help with usability. Thanks again.

Mr B.

Aww no… :( Just seen you made an update to 5.0.5 today! I Hope and beg you could include my suggestions in the next update :cheer:

Hello Yves,

Is there a possibility that the two above matters are something you will consider addressing. :whistle: Thanks for your regular updates and support. :)

Aye of course - we always value feedback very high and i am going to do my best to integrate these two into Matukio ;) Already have them on the todo-list (but can't promise with which update they come).

Hello Yves,

Thanks for your reply. I would really hope rather sooner than later for an update/fix as the required fields, shown by a red asterisk, and the booking intro text above ALL the booking fields did appear before. Additional Booking Fields for required input are vital for the booking from I have authored! Excluding or moving these basic form aspects, probably not deliberately in your case, does not go well for booking form usability. Thanks again.

Hello Yves,

Thanks for Matukio update today. :) Unfortunately, the two fixes I suggested (two posts above) were not included in the 5.0.6 update and I know you said you are not sure when you will include them… Although these are minor, cosmetically speaking, but please include them as soon as possible, as it user unfriendly to fill in a form and not know immediately which (additional) fields are required or not!

Will we have to wait for the launch of Matukio 6 to find small but necessary form fields/elements are corrected or don’t exist or are inappropriately placed? I hope not. :( Thanks again for your support.

Hello Yves,

How are you today? I can only imagine not too well :angry: when I write to you regarding issues with your component. I know you probably feel at times your task is a thankless one regarding your commitment to Matukio, but it is not to me. Two weeks have passed since the last reply to my post, which is well in excess of your standard response time. Can I assume you’ve no priority in dealing with the inquiry I’ve made or no interest? Are you able to update me as to your thoughts to the last post you answered? Thanks again.

Wow, i just forget to answer last time and did not forget you.. - i told you i have it on my todo-list :-) I already fixed the asterisk for the next bug-fix release (in the next couple of day)..

But it takes time to implement new things, currently i am basically fixing just bugs in the 5.0 branch etc. and trying to get it stable and besides i am working on Matukio 5.1 which is going to bring new long awaited features.

Kind regards,

Yves

Hello Yves,

Thank you very much for the Matukio 5.0.9 update that included the suggestions I mentioned in the post above #28493 :cheer: :cheer:

The CSS fix for the booking form that you provided in the above post #28465 does not work for the specific Matukio form fields (ticket type field and booking fields) :( only the universal (left) alignment works for all the fields. Did you test this yourself? Are there any corrections I should take account of to make it work?

Hovering over an event image, when the bootstrap menu item for the event list is used, results in the image becoming larger (magnified.) Is this supposed to happen and is there an option to have a normal display?

Can the system messages on the booking completed page, in the front end, be changed? For example:

Thank you for your booking!
You have choosen cash as payment method.
Thank you for your booking. Please transfer the fees to the following bank account:
Contact us if you have any further questions!

I’ve looked for the Constant and Value for these texts in the language overrides, but I cannot find them.

The drop down list selection used for Additional Booking Fields shows no space between the texts on the booking completed page, in the front end. Can this be fixed? A booking in the back end (Edit / Create Booking) page shows the text normally. See the attached images

Thanks again for your support. :)

Hmm that's weird - do you have a link?

Hovering over an event image, when the bootstrap menu item for the event list is used, results in the image becoming larger (magnified.) Is this supposed to happen and is there an option to have a normal display?


Aye that's supposed to happen - it's a simple CSS 3 effect for the images - you can just disable it by overwritting it in your own joomla template:
.compojoom-bootstrap .mat_event_img, .compojoom-bootstrap .mat_image_scale {
	-webkit-transition: all 0.4s ease-in 0s;
	-moz-transition: all 0.4s ease-in 0s;
	transition: all 0.4s ease-in 0s;
	-webkit-transform: scale(1);
	-moz-transform: scale(1);
	transform: scale(1);
}
 
.compojoom-bootstrap .mat_event_img:hover, .compojoom-bootstrap .mat_image_scale:hover {
	-webkit-transition: all 0.4s ease-out 0s;
	-moz-transition: all 0.4s ease-out 0s;
	transition: all 0.4s ease-out 0s;
	-webkit-transform: scale(1.501);
	-moz-transform: scale(1.501);
	transform: scale(1.501);
}

Just set them all to none (most important one is transform, other ones are for very old browsers and IE)

Can the system messages on the booking completed page, in the front end, be changed? For example:


These are in the plugin language files, for example for cash:

administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.plg_payment_cash.ini

etc.

The drop down list selection used for Additional Booking Fields shows no space between the texts on the booking completed page, in the front end. Can this be fixed? A booking in the back end (Edit / Create Booking) page shows the text normally. See the attached images


I fear not, the old event specific system sadly uses the text as value (HTML) and that can't have special chars including spaces in it, else we can't use JavaScript to confirm that.

With Matukio 6 we will have a new system separating the result from the displayed text.

Kind regards,

Yves
