Next release of Events Booking, version 4.7.0. Below are the improvements in this release:

1. Allow sending additional reminder emails
By default, Events Booking allows you to send up to 3 reminders emails. However, sometime, you might need to send more number of reminder emails than that. We added a hidden tool to allow you send up to 6 reminder emails. Follow instructions on this page eventbookingdoc.joomservices.com/tools#s...rt-up-to-6-reminders if you want to use up to 6 reminders.

2. Allow Translating Speakers On Multilingual Website
Allow translating speakers on a multilingual website. Keep in mind that you cannot translate speakers directly on add/edit event screen (for technical reasons). You will need to access to access to Events Booking , then Setup-> Speakers, add/edit speaker and do the translation from there

3. Improve Event Custom Fields Integration
Added a new config option called Validate Event Custom Fields allows you to control whether event custom fields need to be validated when events is added from frontend/backend or both. Usually you would need to enable it for frontend to make sure users enter data for all custom fields you defined when submitting events

4. Improve ACYMailing Plugin
Added a new parameter Remove From Lists When Registration Cancelled . If set to Yes, registrant will be removed from the assigned mailing lists when their registration is cancelled (by themself or by administrator)

5. Compatible with Joomla 5 Dark Mode
Some adjustments added to make sure backend of the extension compatible with Joomal 5 Dark Mode (in administrator template)

6. Compatible Better With Dark Themes
If you are using a template with dark themes, some layouts/pages in the extension does not look very well. In that case, you can set Activate Transparent config option under Themes tab to Yes. The system will add necessary css code to look better on these dark themes

Announce new version of Events Booking 4.4.3 . This release contains some small improvements and bugs fixes as listed below

1. Coupons Improvement
- Better combination between categories and events assignment for coupon. See Common Coupon Assignment Setup for same common setup documentation. It is much more flexible than before.
- If you assign coupon to a category, it will now valid for all events assigned to that category, not depend on the category is Main Category or Additional Categories. In earlier version, only Main Category of the event is counted.

2. Private Booking Count
For each event, there is now a new setting called Private Booking Count. It defines how many tickets/registrants are already booked for this event outside registration system. It allows the site admin to adjust it by hand when there are registrations made offline. In the past, you would have to create a fake registration record to handle that, now, you can setup it as a setting inside the event.

3. Support Image ALT for categories and events
You can now set Image ALT Text for categories and events images. If you leave it empty, category name/event title will be used for alt attribute for the image.

4. Allow easier hiding locations on map
Sometime, you just want to display location name of an event, not having a link to display that location in map, for example, an online location. From now on, for these locations, you just need to set Coordinates of the location to 0.000000,0.000000 and it won't be displayed on map anymore.

4. UX Improvements
- Some of the features in the system like sending reminder, speakers, sponsors, ticket types... require enabling it's related plugin to work. Sometime, you just setup data but forgot to enable these required plugins (mostly forgot to enable Reminder plugin although it is mentioned in documentation). Now, if you forgot, we will display a waring including link to allow you to go to the plugin page and enable it.

5. Some small bugs fixes
- PayPal Transaction ID is not stored properly
- Discount Rules for ticket types are not being saved properly
- Event Detail URL (if entered for event) is not used on Calendar view
