Pre-sales Questions

[Mark]

Would you be able to answer the following. I have a client looking for…

1. Separate calendars divided by department.
2. An event registration function.

This would be used on a library site with most likely heavy calendaring. Any additional comment/suggestions you may have, please let me know, thanks.

I forgot. Can there be multiple calendar grids on a page?

Hey Mark,

Thanks for reaching out here.

At this time, you unfortunately cannot have multiple calendars on the page or multiple separate calendars for each department – the closes functionality to this that I can think of is to use “Event Categories” to categorize events by the department, and then you would be able to filter what events display based on the event category.

As for an event registration function, do you mean a function that would allow people to “register” for events, and sign-up or RSVP for them?

If so, then something similar to this would be possible with one of our Ticketing Add-on, if you made the “tickets” all free, but other than that there is no default functionality like this.

One other free option for that sort of functionality is to check out a free add-on plugin by one of our developers called “Event Rocket” – we do not support this plugin, and it is an experimental tool you may need to tweak to get functioning correctly, but it is free, and many people love the functionality it offers → https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-rocket/

A simple RSVP feature was just added to Event Rocket, and it also does come with some shortcodes that might make it easier for you to embed events as needed for various departments.

The Events Calendar is free, and so is Event Rocket, so hopefully you can download them and play around with them, and see if they suit you and your client’s needs.

Let us know if this helps! 🙂

Does the filter bar add-on work with the community calendar add-on… Or does the filter bar only work with pro?

[George]

Hey Craig,

The Filter Bar add-on works with any other calendar add-on, including Pro 🙂

If you have further questions, would you mind opening up another ticket here? Just helps us keep things organized reply faster to questions as they come up.

Cheers,
George
