Hi,
We are in process of developing a web site using wordpress. Calendar pro looks great and we are considering to buy.
Scenario : We are working on subscriber model and would like to maintain central repository of events/calendar. (We want to link our subscriber’s calendar to our web site and share same database.)Here is what we are thinking of doing: When subscriber signs up with us, we will assign them a calendar with unique id, and install it on subscriber’s website, (may or may not have wordpress on their site). Configure it and link to central mysql database. Subscriber will login to calendar to create an event on their site, and enter data as appropriate, but data will be entered in central database. If end user wants to check the calendar they can go to our site or subscriber site and pull the same information.
Questions: 1. Is Calendar Pro compatibility with non word press website or it has to have word press installed? If yes what are
the minimum requirements and does it cost or is free.
2. Is the Scenario mentioned above is possible?
3. Can each installation have its own username and password for security (would think so.) Just want to make sure.
4. can each installation independently customized colors etc ( we will keep the fields the same to maintain
consistency across all installs.
5. Is there a limit on categories of events we can create, can we create sub categories. i.e Music > Classical, Jazz,
Rock etc.
6. Do you 30 day free trial for testing?
7. If we decide to go with 3 – 10 site licenses first can we change it to unlimited later depending on the need.
8. Does calendar pro support sending event reminders to list of people entered in the system (load emails address
using csv or text file etc.)
Thank youGood evening Craig and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!
Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.1. Is Calendar Pro compatibility with non word press website or it has to have word press installed? If yes what are the minimum requirements and does it cost or is free.
For the moment, our products require a WordPress website, but you never know what the future holds. Stay tuned!
That being said, we do have several export and import premium add-ons available (gCalendar / ics, Facebook events, EventBrite). Some of which even support automated sync.
2. Is the Scenario mentioned above is possible?
Some of it would be possible, but since our plugins require WordPress, you might need to take a different approach to this.
More importantly, there is no built-in way to synchronize multiple calendars across several websites.
The closest thing we have to what you are looking for is our Community Events plugin: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-community-events/
This gives users the ability to submit their own events but under one main calendar.
In any case, it would probably require some extensive customization.
Just to set expectations, as you might know, the scope of our support is mostly to get our customers started on the right track and to help them in case of issues. We unfortunately do not provide complete support for customization.
You could hire one of our recommended customizers to do the customization for you.
3. Can each installation have its own username and password for security (would think so.) Just want to make sure.
In the context of Community Events, yes.
4. can each installation independently customized colors etc ( we will keep the fields the same to maintain consistency across all installs).
If you find a customizer that is able to synchronize multiple calendar websites, then the answer is probably yes.
5. Is there a limit on categories of events we can create, can we create sub categories. i.e Music > Classical, Jazz, Rock etc.
There are no limits on the number of categories you can create.
6. Do you 30 day free trial for testing?
No, but we have a 30 day refund policy which lets you do pretty much the same thing.
7. If we decide to go with 3 – 10 site licenses first can we change it to unlimited later depending on the need.
We will be glad to arrange something if you wish to upgrade your license along the way (probably by letting you pay the difference).
8. Does calendar pro support sending event reminders to list of people entered in the system (load emails address using csv or text file etc.)
Not currently, but this feature is a highly requested one. Short term, you could probably have somebody do the customization for you.
You could also read our Themer’s guide to get a basic understanding of how the customizations work.
Let me know if that helps.
Have a great day!
Geoff B.
