Possibilities of The Eventscalendar Pro

[Thorsten Klaucke]

Hey there,

we are working on new WordPress-site for a touristic-region. They want an Event Calenar in this Site, and by looking for an plugin I fount The Events Calendar Pro. I guess and hope it will fit our needs. I just like to get some more information about this.

1) We like to have a formular in the site where everyone can fill in a new event withou any registration. But this event should first published after confirmed by the admin, is this possible?

2) We would like to use the generated data of the events for producing automated print products. For this it´s impotant to know the structure of the database. Is it possible to easy export the data as an xlsx-file or csv-file?

3) Is it possible to customize the filter bar to our needs? We have a littele bit different things to filter.

4) Is it right that the included widget upcoming events can be used like to show the next 3 event of a special categorie an on e site, and the next 3 Events of an other categorie on an other site? Can it customized by us that the 3 events shown like the view as “photo”. It should be 3 Events each with photo and text horizontal side by side.
Like shown on this site, schmallenberger-sauerland.de/erleben/aktivangebote/wandern below Aktuelle Wander-Events im Schmallenberger Sauerland.
Here you have also the possibility to get the following events by clicking the arrow on the right side, do I have this possibilty with your plugin?

5) How much would it be to extend the support for more than 1 year?

6) This time our coustomer don´t want the function to book over the site. But who know what would be in the future. Is it possible to easy integrate the ticket function later?

Like to hear from you, Bye Thorsten

Hey,

just one more little question,

What´s about an importfunction for csv or better xlsx files for the event calendar?

Hi Thorsten!

Thanks for reaching out to us! Let me help you with each of your questions.

1) This is not possible with Events Calendar PRO, but you can get that specific functionality with our Community Events plugin > https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-community-events/

2) You can export the events data by using the WordPress export tool > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-wordpress-export-tools-to-migrate-events-content/. Additionally, you can use the export events functionality to generate an ICS file for the events > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/exporting-events/

3) Yes, although it would depend on what type of customization you intend to make. Here’s is an article with some examples of how you can customize it > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/understanding-the-tribe-events-bar/. Please note this article might be a bit out of date, and some snippets could have changed.

You might also be interested in our Filter Bar plugin that adds a configurable set of filters to your main events calendar > https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-events-filterbar/

4) Some of our widgets do have the ability to filter by a category and a limit filter to only show a specific number of events in the widget. You can learn more about all our widgets in the following articles > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/events-calendar-widgets/ and https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-widget-shortcodes/.

The calendar and widgets views can be customized using one of the methods described in our Themer’s Guide > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

Here you have also the possibility to get the following events by clicking the arrow on the right side, do I have this possibilty with your plugin?

That is unfortunately, not a built-in option of our plugins. You can achieve something similar but would require some custom coding.

5) We only provide license for a one year period, but you can always renew your licenses once they expire and can also subscribe to automatically renew your licenses each year. Let me point you to the following article about our licenses > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/what-does-buying-a-license-get-me/

6) Yes, you can add our Event Tickets plugin at any time to Collect RSVPs and Manage Event Registration and Event Tickets Plus to create and sell tickets entirely within your WordPress site.

What´s about an importfunction for csv or better xlsx files for the event calendar?

Our free plugin The Events Calendar comes with an importing tool called Event Aggregator that allows you to import information from a CSV file. Additionally, you can purchase an Event Aggregator license that will allow you to import events from other websites and calendars. If you decide to give it a try, here’s our Event Aggregator guide for first time users > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/new-user-primer-event-aggregator/

We also have a pretty cool 30-day refund policy in case you decide to purchase a license and then find out it does not fit your needs > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/refund-policy/

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any follow up questions and I’d be happy to help 🙂

Best,
Victor
