User submitted event registration and bookings

[Misha D]

I am looking for a WP plugin solution that will allow:

– User submitted registration – Anyone who wants to host and event to easily create a user account to submit events.
– RSVPs – Allows RSVPs that collect names and emails, and provides auto-email confirmations and notifications to people who RSVPed.
– User managed bookings – Allows users to login and see the status of their event bookings. (ideally to also email them as well)
– Custom fields for events – can create additional custom fields that will show up in every event.
– Hides street address – Has a method to display city and state only on the public events page.
– Notifications to hosts of events – Sends auto-email to hosts when someone has RSVPed to their event.
– Export – ability to export event attendees to all events or to a selected event as a spreadsheet.

I can’t tell if I can accomplish what I’m looking for by combining some of your plugins to achieve this. Please assist.

Hey Misha,

Thanks for reaching out and for your interest in our plugins! 😀 I’ll address of your points in turn as follows.

---

– User submitted registration – Anyone who wants to host and event to easily create a user account to submit events.

SORT OF — This is possible with our Community Tickets add-on. Please note that the Community Tickets add-on is an advanced plugin, and requires the installation of several other add-ons. So to run Community Tickets, you need to have all of these plugins installed at minimum: The Events Calendar, Event Tickets, Event Tickets Plus, Community Events, and WooCommerce.

---

– RSVPs – Allows RSVPs that collect names and emails, and provides auto-email confirmations and notifications to people who RSVPed.

YES — Our free plugin, Event Tickets, does this out of the box. 😀 The only thing it doesn’t really have is a “notifications” feature — it’ll send a “You’ve RSVPed for X Event” type email upon the person’s RSVPing for the event, but not any subsequent emails from there.

---

– User managed bookings – Allows users to login and see the status of their event bookings. (ideally to also email them as well)

YES — With Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus, there is an option in their settings that lets you require folks to be logged into an account on your site to buy tickets or make RSVPs. If you have this option checked, then folks will be required to be logged into your site to buy tickets or make RSVPs, but they will also be able to go to any event and see their tickets or RSVPs for it and even adjust their information for the event.

---

– Custom fields for events – can create additional custom fields that will show up in every event.

YES — This is called the “Attendee Information” feature within Event Tickets Plus. Learn more about it here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/collecting-attendee-information/

---

– Hides street address – Has a method to display city and state only on the public events page.

SORT OF — Our plugins don’t provide this feature out-of-the-box, but you could certainly write some custom CSS code on your site to hide any location details for venues you’d like.

---

– Notifications to hosts of events – Sends auto-email to hosts when someone has RSVPed to their event.

NO — There is not any built-in functionality for this within our plugins. You can add some custom code snippets to your site that will CC the website admin for any RSVP or ticket email, but that is about it here, unfortunately. 🙁

---

– Export – ability to export event attendees to all events or to a selected event as a spreadsheet.

YES — You can export Attendees from an event’s Attendees Report as a CSV, you can Email the list, or you can Print the list.

---

I hope all this information helps you move forward with your decision here! 😀 Please note that we also have a thirty-day, no-questions-asked refund policy that you can read about here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/refund-policy/

☝️ This refund policy serves as sort of a “trial” period. So feel free to buy our plugins and try them out firsthand to get a feel for things. If you don’t like them or they just don’t fit the needs of your project well, then within those first thirty days from the date you purchase the products, simply head to the page above (this page) and request a refund and we’ll refund your license in full.

Cheers!
George

George, thank you so much for your detailed assistance. We are coordinating hundreds of people who want to host their own events. The ability for hosts to be notified by email when people sign up for an event they create is fundamental. Would there be any custom coding option possible to resolve this?

Thanks!

[George]

Hey Misha,

Thanks for your followup. There are custom coding options for sure, in the sense just about any customization you can think of will likely be technically possible. We cannot help with any custom coding, however, nor can we provide support for any issues that arise relating to or because of custom coding.

And so to go about doing any custom coding on your site, you would have to write that custom code yourself or hire a professional developer to do it for you. We have a list of great developers here → http://m.tri.be/18k1 (and have no affiliation with any of these folks—they’re simply some well-respected names in the community that we’ve compiled to share in situations like this one).

I hope this helps! 😀

— George

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!
