can your plug in do the below

[Eric Cuthbert]

Hi
1 I am looking for an Event Planner but I would like any visitors to my website to register and then organise any event or a party themselves.
2 They would enter the name of the event for example ‘Johns 40th Birthday Party.
3 They would enter the date
4 The would enter the time everyone is meeting
5 They would enter the location and this would be linked to Google Maps
6 The organiser would then enter all of the guest names and email addresses.
7 The invitation would be sent to all of the guests via my website with date time and link to the venue location.
8 The guest would then reply saying yes they will attending or no they can not
9 The organiser would then be able to see all replies.
10 The organiser would be able to email individual guests or broadcast one message to all guests
11 I would like to be able to down load all email address so I can use them for future promotions.
There would not be a charge for using the Event Manager to my visitors but they do have to register.
Can you tell me if your plug in can do this, also if you set up the plug in to work as above what would be the charge.
Regards Eric

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your interest in our plugins 🙂

So far, sounds like our Community Events plugin might meet your needs. If you like, you can see a live demo over on our WP Shindig site (you will need to register for an account first of all).

6 The organiser would then enter all of the guest names and email addresses.
7 The invitation would be sent to all of the guests via my website with date time and link to the venue location.
8 The guest would then reply saying yes they will attending or no they can not
9 The organiser would then be able to see all replies.
10 The organiser would be able to email individual guests or broadcast one message to all guests
11 I would like to be able to down load all email address so I can use them for future promotions.

This is where things become just a little trickier. Our Community Tickets plugin (which would also require that you add Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus) would get you pretty close — however the sort of workflow you’ve outlined is not supported out of the box.

Specifically, there is no direct means of letting the organizer enter a list of guest names and email addresses. You could certainly workaround this and indeed you could work with a suitably skilled developer to smooth this out (our plugins are highly customizable).

That to say, it does sound like our plugins would get you 90% of the way. Perhaps you would even find that with a little creativity you can use them without any further adjustment if you are open to slightly different workflows for your users.

Let me know if you have any other questions about this, I’ll be happy to help!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
