Sub-Events, Child Events, "Sessions"

[Cully]

I’m trying to figure out if Events Calendar PRO will fit the needs of a project I’m working on. My clients needs to be able to create events with individual sessions. So, the parent event might be a conference or an all-day meeting, and the child events would be individual sessions within that parent event.

One solution would be to just create the sessions as their own events. However, when we display the events, we need to make it clear that the child events are part of that main parent event (e.g. these sessions are part of the conference). We also have the idea of RSVP’ing to events, and the client wants to allow visitors to RSVP to all of the sessions in a single event, at once. So we need to know, programmatically, which child events are associated with the parent.

I’m curious if Events Calendar supports this. If it supports setting a parent/child relationship between events (e.g. like WordPress Pages), then that should work for it.

Hi,

Thanks for the interest in our plugins I can help out here.

We do not have a parent/child relationship feature of events.

The Recurring Events does make the initial event a Parent Event and the rest all have a custom field you can find that has the parent id.

You might be able to work with that, but that is all we have as a feature in the plugins.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks
