Enable combi exhibitions | Combi exhibitions will become available in the module Exhibitions and in My Exhibitions (History and overviews). | |

If donation articles are used for the chosen exhibition, the user will be able to donate a part of the purchase amount when making a booking.
 |
The settings Tick off donation by default and Tick off gift aid by default allow you to define the default status of the donation possibilities.
Moreover, the specific texts relating to donation and Gift Aid can be filled in per language.
 |
E-mail notification
 |
As is the case with general notification e-mails (to be set up under General > Settings > E-mail messages) the e-mail address that is filled in here, is the addressee of the internal service, that will receive the copy of the e-mail sent to the customer. By filling in a deviating e-mail address per module, however, it is possible to make the addressee of the order confirmation (e-mail) dependent on the module in which the order was placed. In this way, orders of module X can be sent to service X, of module Y to service Y, etc.
Sidebanner HTML
In Sidebanner HTML an additional text in HTML can be filled in, which will then appear in the form of a vertical banner on the right of the detailed page of the exhibitions.
 |
 |
Introductory text module
 |
It is possible to fill in an introductory text per Webshop module. As is the case with the general welcoming and introductory text, HTML is supported for the creation of the introduction per module and the text can be translated if you wish so. The introductory text is always visualised at the top of the module's primary page.
Always save the new settings by clicking on the button Save.
Colours
Assign a colour of your choosing to each calendar style that you intend to use. Calendar styles can be utilized to highlight certain exhibition periods to draw attention to additional events organized on certain days of the exhibition or even to inform customers about exhibition closing days.
