Party Booking

[Jodi]

I know this is a combination of your plugins but is it something that can be easily done or is a crazy amount of coding?

Hey Jodi,

Thanks for getting in touch and I hope you had a great weekend. 🙂

I would say it’s not a crazy amount of coding to get the functionality you need to publish parties to a calendar and create tickets for them. In fact, we have the plugins to get you started on that right away:

• The Events Calendar (free) – This is our core plugin that allows you to publish event posts in WordPress and display them in a calendar format.
• Event Tickets (free) – This plugin extends The Events Calendar so that you can create free tickets (RSVPs) for the events that are published to the calendar.
• Event Tickets Plus – This plugin extends Event Tickets so that you can create paid tickets for the events you publish to the calendar and sell them using WooCommerce as the checkout and payment engine. It also allows you to create custom registration fields.

Those three plugins integrate directly with one another and do not require any additional coding to set up other than configuring the settings for each plugin to see your exact needs.

The example you linked me to does look like a very customized implementation of our plugins. I would say that part would indeed require custom coding to get the same look and feel. However, as far as publishing events, creating tickets and collecting attendee information goes, all of that is standard right out of the box.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

I did purchase the plugins,

how do I get the calendar to work like that with the small boxes that can be chosen to book something?

Hey there Jodi,

Geoff gave you some bad advice. The link you provide him from the Paintnplaster site is using WooCommerce Bookings to accomplish that. 🙂

Hi Jodi,

Once you create a ticket for an event, a ticket form will be displayed on the event which will allow folks to register for the event.

And, to Dan’s point, he is absolutely correct that the other site is using WooCommerce bookings. I had noticed Modern Tribe coding in the source code and made an incorrect assumption about the mini calendar displayed on the page.

So, bottom line: my advice still stands that our plugins will allow you to create tickets for an event and allow visitors to register for events. However, to get the booking functionality of selecting a date, you will want to look at WooCommerce Bookings instead. Let me know if you would like me to refund your purchase since I was not totally correct there and I’d be happy to do that for you.

Cheers!
Geoff

Didn’t mean to sound harsh there Geoff. 🙂 I happen to create the one she was referencing.

[Geoff]

No worries at all, Dan! I love how you chime into threads and you’re always super helpful. 🙂

Cheers.

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!
