Curated Event List aka "My Schedule" for a Conference or Festival

[lewiscenterarts]

Are you aware of any way (maybe with Event Tickets Plus or through a 3rd party plugin) for a visitor to “curate” his or her own series of events?

For example, if we publish a packed event schedule for a multi-day festival, with multiple concurrent events, could we allow users to check off or rsvp to events they wish to attend, in order to generate a “My schedule” page where they can see just those events they’ve selected?

Thanks for your guidance!

Thanks for the great question!

There’s no purpose-built method of doing this that is baked into our plugins, but your thought on using a ticketing plugin is an interesting one and could definitely work (though you might need to make a few tweaks to make it feel ‘natural’).

It looks like you already have Event Tickets Plus and so I guess you’ve installed Event Tickets itself, which offers free/RSVP tickets — perhaps you could indeed use RSVPs and do a bit of relabelling to present them as a “Things I wish to attend” button.

With some relatively low effort custom dev, you could also build out a per-user list of those events they have “RSVP’d” to. Getting into the nuts and bolts of such a change is a little beyond the scope of support we offer here, but please do feel free to ask if you have any specific follow-up questions and if I’m able to answer or just point you in the right direction I’ll be happy to do so 🙂

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!
