How can post an Event form without showing 1 registrant under each sponsorship opportunity?

I got around that by changing that particular text to be the exact same color as the background behind it, effectively making it invisible.



You can do that by going to the "Fine tuning" tab, then selecting the "Event details" subtab, and clicking on "Price block." Click on the color box under "Background" to see the exact color of the price block, and if you need to, write down the numerical values of the Red, Green, and Blue, or copy the hex color description (indicated with the # symbol).





Then click on "Fine print" to select the color of the "(x registrants)" text. Click on the color box under "Text color" and enter or paste the same RGB values or the hex color. And voila! The number of registrants has disappeared!

Great suggestion James. I'll just add that Online Express forms are composed of normal HTML page elements, so you or your web admin can use normal website CSS to affect styling of your Online Express forms. For example, if you were sure that you'd never want that descriptor (1 registrant) to show for any of your Online Express event forms, you could add a line of CSS to your website like this to suppress it from all Online Express event forms (without requiring you to do any work in the Fine Tuning step as James suggested):



#bbox-root div.BBTableRowCellFinePrint span[id^="bboxevent_priceselect"] { display: none;}



The benefit of using CSS like this at the website level is that it will automatically "take care of" all of the OLX event forms you publish. But this is also the one possible negative....it's possible that down the road, nobody remembers that this CSS was added to your site and it could confuse someone working in the event forms in OLX as to why this descriptor never shows up on the website.



The above is a rather complex CSS "selector". We'd certainly never expect a typical Online Express user to ever need to know or understand anything about CSS....much less a complex selector like this one. I just wanted to make sure it was clear that OLX web forms will happily respond to plain old CSS if that's something you have access to at your organization.

On this note....How can we eliminate the sample registrant information area if not needed for a particular event. For example, if we are just selling 1 sponsoship level, we don't need them to fill out registration information. It would be great if that could be optional or easily removed from a particular form. I know that a donation form could be used instead, but not when you want multiple giving/sponsor/ticket options on the same form.

Did you ever find a soluntion Vicki? I'm trying to do the same.

Good solution James!  I'll be using this one!
