Event list with direct RSVP

[Julia Lincoln-Stefan]

Hi,

I’m looking to find out more about Tickets.

We’re running an intranet-Wordpress page for our employees. We have a number of regular free events. Registering for these events is currently organised on a Sharepoint platform, but we’re looking to move the registration process for our department’s events to this WordPress page and are considering using The Events Calendar Tickets and RSVP.

We basically have a database of all our employees. On Sharepoint, once they’re logged onto the system, all they need to do is click a button so they’re registered and they also receive an Exchange-calendar entry. We’re looking to emulate this – so the most important part for us is that they also only have to click one button, if we were to use WordPress and The Events Calendar + Tickets. I have two questions:

1) Given that all users are logged onto our network, can you see that there is a solution where fields such as name and e-mail address are auto-populated, and further, that maybe these fields aren’t even visible anymore?

2) Do you think there can be a solution that we see a list of events, as can be seen on the second image here for example: https://theeventscalendar.com/showcase/culinarylocal/

But when the user clicks the button (in the above example “register”), they automatically subscribe to the event and get sent an email with details, instead of first having to go to the event page and then hitting submit.

Thanks as always

Julia

Hey Julia,

Thanks for reaching out.

The use case you describe is interesting, and having a one-click purchase/RSVP system like this would be pretty awesome.

Our plugins unfortunately would not support anything like that at this time. 🙁

1) Given that all users are logged onto our network, can you see that there is a solution where fields such as name and e-mail address are auto-populated, and further, that maybe these fields aren’t even visible anymore?

☝️ This sort of thing is technically possible, but would unfortunately require many code customizations to implement and would not be something our plugins could do “out-of-the-box”.

So to implement the features you describe, you would have to write that custom code or hire a professional developer to do it for you. We have a list of great developers here → http://m.tri.be/18k1 (and have no affiliation with any of these folks—they’re simply some well-respected names in the community that we’ve compiled to share in situations like this one).

Next, you ask:

2) Do you think there can be a solution that we see a list of events, as can be seen on the second image here for example: https://theeventscalendar.com/showcase/culinarylocal/

☝️ That list view is generally something our plugins do out-of-the-box, but the “register” link by default is not a one-click automagic-sign-up sort of thing like you describe. 🙁 Unfortunately, as noted above doing something like this would require some non-trivial custom coding.

Sorry to bear some of this news here, Julia. Please let me know if it helps you move forward with your project and/or if there are any other issues or questions I can try to help with.

Sincerely,
George

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!
