Questions

[Jamie Robertson]

Hello!

We are looking at potentially switching our calendar provider, but need some specific things and I wondered if you could tell me if these were possible with The Events Calendar.

We are upgrading our website to Magento and WordPress and I am trying to find something that will work well with those.

We are a company who has 13 different locations and I handle the calendar for all of them. I need a program that allows us to have the following:

– 1 calendar for each of our 13 locations in the US so customers in that area can find their events
– The ability to take RSVPs
– The ability to be notified of the RSVPS
– The ability to export the list of RSVPs to be shared with staff
– The ability for customers to search for events

Can you tell me if these things are possible?

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for checking out our plugins! Currently, they only work with the WordPress platform. You may be able to embed the calendar(s) on non-WordPress sites using an iframe to display them from your WordPress site, but we won’t be able to provide support for that type of customization.

– 1 calendar for each of our 13 locations in the US so customers in that area can find their events

You could accomplish this by creating categories for each of the locations and assigning them to  events in that area. To create separate calendars for each, you could use the shortcodes that come with Events Calendar Pro. This would allow you to easily display calendars (in month, list, week, photo, map, or day view) around your site, so you could create separate pages for each calendar.

– The ability to take RSVPs

You can create and accept free RSVPs using our free Event Tickets plugin. If you would like to charge users for reservations, Event Tickets Plus will let you do that.

– The ability to be notified of the RSVPS

While this functionality is not currently available out of the box, you could add a quick code snippet into your functions.php file to email the site admin when RSVPs come in.

– The ability to export the list of RSVPs to be shared with staff

Absolutely! The attendees list has an “export” button which automatically downloads a CSV file of your attendees for that event.

I would recommend taking a look at this article for more information on managing orders and attendees.

– The ability for customers to search for events

The Events Calendar comes with a feature that allows users to search by keyword, date, and location. You can read more about the Tribe Events Bar here. If you would like more robust search functionality, including venues, categories, day of the week, and more, Filter Bar would be worth looking into.

We do offer full refunds within 30 days of purchase if you’re not satisfied with the products, so feel free to test out some of our premium add-ons like Events Calendar Pro and Filter Bar. If you’re interested in seeing our plugins be made available for other platforms (such as Magento) in the future, please do cast a vote for this request over in our Feature Ideas Forum.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Thanks,

Jennifer

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!
