How to require a payment on the Front End Submit form?

[lintonhale]

Hi Franky!

What we'd like to do on the Front End Submit form is to require a payment for submitting the event listing. Is that possible?

On this page
https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/frontend-submit/
I see the event property
use_braintree
which I have added to the Default form format on this page:
https://learnsonomacounty.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=eme-options&tab=emefs

I have tried both
#_PROP{use_braintree}{binary}
and
#_PROP{use_braintree(*)}{binary}
but either way I just see a binary No/Yes dropdown menu under "Payment" field on our Frontend Submit page:
https://learnsonomacounty.com/list-your-class/
not the hoped for payment options.

I searched the document for "payment" and found that this says "When showing the payment form..."
https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/payment-gateway-placeholders/
but how do you show the payment form?

Here's a picture of the Payments settings:

I'm fairly certain I've got the proper Merchant ID, Public, and Private Keys.

Here's the Frontend Submit Default form format code:

Event Name
#_FIELD{event_name}

Select the Event Category
#_FIELD{event_category_ids}

Date & Time Start

Date #_FIELD{event_start_date}

Time #_FIELD{event_start_time}

		<fieldset id="event_end">
			<legend>End</legend>
			<div class="input">
				<label for="event_end_date">Date</label>
				#_FIELD{event_end_date}
			</div>
			<div class="input">
				<label for="event_end_time">Time</label> 
				#_FIELD{event_end_time}
			</div>
		</fieldset>
	</fieldset>


            <div class="input">
                    <label for="use_braintree}">Payment</label>
                    #_PROP{use_braintree (*)}{binary}
            </div>

        <div class="input">
                    <label for="short_description">Short Description (Max 120 characters)</label><br />

            <div class="input">
                    <label for="event_notes">Description</label><br />

            <div class="input">

            </div>

The payment property should be entered like this:
#_PROP{use_braintree}{binary}

But if you actually want people to pay for the event submission (as they do for bookings or memberships): that's currently not possible: this would require some extra development (extra event status, optional cleanup after X time when unpaid, handling the payment, maybe mail templates ...). Not impossible but this is the kind of thing I'm hoping to get a donation for :-)

Thanks Franky. Yes, we'd be interested in having your help with this and are happy to make a donation. I'll follow up via email and include the client in the conversation. Much appreciated!

[liedekef]

I'll be happy to work on that, feel free to contact me.

The just released version has this (took some days though ... lot's of code reorg too, to improve general code reuse)

[lintonhale]

Great, thanks for letting me know. I apologize if you feel that we owe you the $250. We asked how much, but did not ask you to proceed and did not make an agreement to pay. My client does not yet have the income, so we found a free alternative. When she makes use of the new features we will plan to make a donation. Best wishes, Linton

If I wanted the money, I would not have implemented it :-) I'm living on donations (well ... much less than before though), so I hope it will help people.

[lintonhale]

I'm glad to hear that your work is being supported. Thanks for your help!

well, since I moved to github I'm getting a lot less donations, but such is life ...
