Organizer avalibility and schedule conflict?

[Tone Milazzo]

Hello,

I help run a small comic book convention and I’m looking to replace our old scheduling software https://sandiegocomicfest.sched.org/

I have three questions about your plugin.
1) On an event page like http://www.sdcomicfest.org/event/this-is-an-event/ I expected the Organizers’ names to be links. Is that the “Venue & Organizer View” feature listed with the Pro version?

2) What I really need is something to flag schedule conflicts. If your plugin could warn me when I double booked an organizer, or booked an organizer for an event outside their window of availability then you’d save me hours of work. I didn’t see anything about that in the documentation under “conflict”

3) Would I be able to rename Organizer, to Panelist?

Hi there Tone,

Thanks for reaching out to us and for your interest in our plugins 🙂

1) On an event page like http://www.sdcomicfest.org/event/this-is-an-event/ I expected the Organizers’ names to be links. Is that the “Venue & Organizer View” feature listed with the Pro version?

Indeed, if you activate Events Calendar PRO venues and organizers will be linked to a pag of their own showing details about them.

2) What I really need is something to flag schedule conflicts. If your plugin could warn me when I double booked an organizer, or booked an organizer for an event outside their window of availability then you’d save me hours of work. I didn’t see anything about that in the documentation under “conflict”

I don’t think we have any tools for this 🙁 Maybe using PRO week view you can see this easily? Maybe exporting the site events to Google Calendar and checking it there is better (if you have the organizers schedules configured in your Google Calendar or similar soft)?

3) Would I be able to rename Organizer, to Panelist?

Sure it’s possible → Change the wording of any bit of text or string. You’ll need some extra lines of code to change the permalink.

Also I noticed in your site that the conf is organized by a non-profit corporation and 501(c)(3) organization. Hopefully we have a Nonprofit Partnership program that allows approved organizations to use Events Calendar PRO for free, as well as providing discounts on our other plugins. You can read our Nonprofit Program Knowledgebase article to get all the details. On that page you’ll find a link to our application form with further instructions.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with,
Best,
Nico
