Hey there, Tom!
Great questions–let’s tackle them one at a time. 🙂
1. Can you make sure the view is always defaulted to Map view at all times?
Absolutely. There is an option to set the default view under Events > Settings > Display. You can even remove views from the front end.
2. do you have a “package” for someone that wants the pro version along with the Community Events and Filter Bar plugins together?
Unfortunately, no. We do offer discounts and promotions from time to time in our newsletter (bottom of this page) and Twitter so those wold be two places to keep an eye on for sure.
3. Any plans to allow a subscription charge for users to sign up for an account so they can submit events?
Yeah, this is a popular feature request and something that we’re looking into. As you can imagine, it would take a fairly substantial update, so while we don’t have a timeframe on it, it is certainly under review and on our radar.
Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know. 🙂
Cheers!
Geoff
