Ultimate Bundle for Agency Questions

[Amy Hope]

I am pretty sure The Events Calendar meets my needs. I have several questions to be sure. Quick overview of my end goal. I will have at least 3 independent domains that are memberships sites. Next year, I should be closer to 10 domains. We want our members to be able to access the events of all three sites but each site should be able to customize to their liking (theme, restricted contents, etc).

With the Agency License I can put an Events Calendar on 10 different websites.
1. These can be completely separate domains (not subdomains) correct?
2. Is there 1 site that acts as the primary calendar to set up categories & custom fields or does each site have to configure the calendar separate.
3. I think I’m a little confused to if when you install the calendar on multiple sites if they are essentially different calendars or shared in some way.
4. The multisite Network license is for 1 domain with several subdomains, correct?

I am going to use iCal Importer to sync the events on each site and use the filter views so each calendar shows only events for that club. (but users have the ability to search other clubs using the filter bar)
1. Do you have an example or list of all fields that are included in the file .icv file?
2. I know tickets does not work with iCal but do the RSVPs transfer?

RSVPs
1. Can the RSPV connect to a CRM using Zapier? Or can they be exported or synced in some other way?
2. If we have Woo Commerce, Woo Membership & Woo Subscriptions, can we do reporting on which members are RSPV’ing to which events?
3. I downloaded the free version of the calendar & RSVPs. It looks like a logged in user can RSVP to an event multiple times using the same name & event. Is there a way to prevent someone from RSVP’ing more than once?
4. With a recurring event, if someone RSPVs to one event in the series, are they automatically RSVP’ed to all events in the series?

Adding Events to the Calendar
1. Do you have to have WP Admin access to add events to the calendar? I’m not sure I need the community calendar but I need to give a certain level user access to add events. Is it possible to use the WP user profiles or Woo Memberships to give people access to add event but restrict everything else?
2. Do you have an example of a customer using the Ultimate Bundle with Woo Commerce by chance?

Sorry that I have so many questions. I’m reading a ton of support tickets but we are close to starting development and need to make sure the calendar works the way we think before we start development.

Thank you!

Hi there Amy,

Thanks for getting in touch and for you interest in our products 🙂

Also, no problem on the long list of questions they are all pretty clear and well organized!

Licenses:

1. These can be completely separate domains (not subdomains) correct?

Yes, domains can be different. Keep in mind that sub-domains will count as separate sites as well.

2. Is there 1 site that acts as the primary calendar to set up categories & custom fields or does each site have to configure the calendar separate.

They act as separate calendars, each one with it’s own settings, categories and custom fields. In the case of multisite installs you can control from the Network admin which setting tabs are visible on the subsites.

3. I think I’m a little confused to if when you install the calendar on multiple sites if they are essentially different calendars or shared in some way.

Totally different calendars.

4. The multisite Network license is for 1 domain with several subdomains, correct?

Yes, can work for that but I’d say there will be no problem if you map custom domains for the subsites. Check out this article → Licenses for multisites

Ical:

1. Do you have an example or list of all fields that are included in the file .icv file?

I’m not sure about this question, we use the iCal format event object to exchange event info, you can read more about it here → http://www.kanzaki.com/docs/ical/vevent.html

2. I know tickets does not work with iCal but do the RSVPs transfer?

Unfortunately not.

RSVPs

1. Can the RSPV connect to a CRM using Zapier? Or can they be exported or synced in some other way?

Yes, I guess you can do that. I’m actually not much familiarized with Zapier so not 100% sure about it. But if it’s not possible with Zapier, maybe you can call the CRM API directly. Attendee lists can be exported per events in CSV format if that works better for the project.

2. If we have Woo Commerce, Woo Membership & Woo Subscriptions, can we do reporting on which members are RSPV’ing to which events?

I don’t think we have that report, although it can be generated querying all attendee data and filtering it by user.

3. I downloaded the free version of the calendar & RSVPs. It looks like a logged in user can RSVP to an event multiple times using the same name & event. Is there a way to prevent someone from RSVP’ing more than once?

Yes, there’ no limit by default but with a snippet you can limit the tickets to a certain amount or event not show the tickets form if the user has existing RSVP tickets.

4. With a recurring event, if someone RSPVs to one event in the series, are they automatically RSVP’ed to all events in the series?

We still don’t have support for recurring events + tickets (RSVP nor paid). This is something we are looking forward to have included at some point probably before the end of the year. Until this is coded, the behaviour will be funky and not recommended/supported to use.

Adding Events to the Calendar

1. Do you have to have WP Admin access to add events to the calendar? I’m not sure I need the community calendar but I need to give a certain level user access to add events. Is it possible to use the WP user profiles or Woo Memberships to give people access to add event but restrict everything else?

You don’t have to be an admin to create events, take a look at this article breaking down admin roles and permissions for our plugin.

2. Do you have an example of a customer using the Ultimate Bundle with Woo Commerce by chance?

I don’t think we have one in the showcase, and I’m not able to share any customer sites URLs that are not present in the showcase. Is there something in particular you wanted to see?

Keep in mind that while we don’t have a trial period, you can go ahead and purchase the products for testing. If you decide they are not what you are looking for, you can ask for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. For more information take a look at our refund policy.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with,
Best,
Nico

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!
