Question regarding multi site license and threewp broadcaster

[Piers Elliott]

Hi,

I’m not sure what I’m going to need to buy- we are a small company and are making a new website. Our company does events, weddings and has an animal park.

So I’ve built a multi site network for the 4 areas of the business and will be installing the events calendar on the main site.

I’ve seen that the threewp broadcaster allows me to broadcast blogs and keep them in sync across the sites (so people landing on our wedding page will see other posts from around the network).

I wondered if I do the same with the eventbrite premium plugin, will I need to install it on just the main site, or if I need to install it on all 4 sites (very expensive!!).

Help!

Hi Piers. Thanks for your interest in our plugin suite.

Could you please detail:

• what is the data entry “source” of all the events on your site (a single site on your network, Eventbrite, an offsite iCal feed)?
• what site(s) on your network would you want to use the paid add-on(s)?

I may be able to better advise you once I get this understanding. Feel free to include a practical example.

Thanks.

Hi, the source would be my main blog where we would make all the posts, But we would ‘broadcast’ the weddings event to the weddings subblog, and the animal park events to the animal park sub blog.

We would need to be using the eventbrite plugin.

I just wondered if we only needed the eventbrite plugin installed on the blog where we actually make the events, or if we had to buy a copy for each blog they are viewed on?

Does this make sense? If it’s for each blog it’s viewed on it will likely be prohibitably expensive.

Thanks for the extra info.

Creating the events via The Events Calendar free/core plugin on your main site and copying them to your other sites wouldn’t involve any paid add-on.

However, creating tickets via Eventbrite — and displaying them on this event in your WordPress site via our Eventbrite Tickets add-on — would require a license for support and updates on all sites of your multisite setup.

Technically, the code is the same regardless of license-level. It’s just that if you have the Personal license for 1 site, we would only provide support for the 1 site that license is registered at. And if you want the Business license for 3 sites, we’d only provide support for the 3 sites that license is registered at. And if you have a multisite-specific support question, we’d look to see if you have a Multisite license.

However, our plugin doesn’t have “copy from site A to site B” functionality, whether on multisite or not. I have heard of this Duplicate TEC Event plugin before, though (third-party, not guaranteed or supported by us).

Last but not least, we have a pretty great Refund Policy so you can buy one or many of our add-ons and thoroughly test them.

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Amazing, thank you for the advice.

The thing is the sub sites will never be administered as the plugins are network administered and the users are only acting the main site to add events and content.

I’ve used you guys thoroughly before as a web developer (many of my clients now use TEC) so I don’t usually need help with them.

I think what I’ll do (if I can, I know it’s unsupported) is network install the TEC plugin and the paid eventbrite addition (single licence), and then use the broadcast plugin (unsupported by you) to push the main events to the subblogs and if I’m understanding this correctly it would work? People would see the events tickets if they navigated to the weddings blog?

If you think this setup should work I’ll go ahead and get it now.

[Cliff]

Thanks for the kind words.

For any advanced setup like that, I think it’s best to buy and try 🙂

Since you said you already purchased (or will soon), I’ll close this ticket and you can open a new thread in the paid forums if you come across anything you think we can/should help you with.
