When an event has a starting date for booking, it's status displays as "Closed". This is very confusing for anyone who wants to sign up. I have a potential client who will be running one week courses over the next several years and she wants to open booking only 3 months in advance.Since these couses are are going to be given in different parts of the US she wants them to show up on the site so that people know they are upcoming, however, since thye will display as "Closed" it makes it appear as if the course may not be going ahead. It would seem to make more sense to display something like "Booking opens on MM/DD/YY".
And another thing, why is it that when one goes under Events that each day of a week long course appears as opposed to it just displaying the event as a whole?
There isn't a possibility of changing the Closed status with Amelia's current built-in features, unfortunately. I will add this as a feature request to our list, and please suggest it here as well so it can be considered for implementation in the future.
The Events view in the back-end is per day, each day/date is shown separately in the list, so this is why the events that lasts for more than a day appear that way in the back-end , they appear for each date they are created for. You can suggest this as well as a feature request on the link aforementioned.
If you have any other questions or concerns feel free to open a new ticket and we will gladly help out.
