I couldn’t wait for this so I’ve moved to Event Espresso. As they said in the their last post, if you need the feature, go elsewhere. I like what MT are doing but I’m not sure who this product is aimed at anymore. Whilst looking for alternatives I saw that another plugin developer has also just launched an event and ticketing solution that does a lot more for around the same price. I couldn’t see if it had attendee collection but Event Esp does so it’s fixed my problem for the time being.
I understand fully what you are saying and of course it’s understandable that you need to tread carefully with updates. But this isn’t something new, it’s been knocking around for a year now, a bit too long in software years. The requested additional functionality is pretty basic and I think when you were scoping this out it would have come up in any user survey.
In the current state, I can’t use this for my current project and often once you lose a customer, they’re gone forever…
Hi Kelly
This isn’t really the answer I was expecting from a forward-thinking organisation. What do you suggest as an interim solution or an alternative that provides this functionality? Are you saying that JP can go ahead and fix the plugin and then you’ll assist where necessary? I don’t think I’m the only disgruntled client of yours and it would be a great asset to the product if this was included.I was just in a meeting with the client – they really like the ECPro calendar, the ease of adding events and tickets but then she asked ‘so where will I see the attendee list after they’ve purchased the tickets?’
The issue is that anyone using this system is doing it for a relatively small audience and needs to collect those names and have them visible in the attendee list. When I discovered the Buzz media solution I thought all my issues were solved – then realised that it’s broken in the latest version.
It really needs fixing or I need another solution.
Hi Kelly, thanks for the response.
I sort of rolled things back and the formatting has improved. I also added the category colours plugin which is doing a good job at separating the event lists. The ticket integration is so simple and so is the EC Pro functionality – I just wish the customisation wasn’t so long-winded!Hi Leah, thanks for the reply. I’m wondering whether an easier way could be to have two ticket types per event and then a custom field for the member only ticket where a member ID could be entered? By moving to WP the client is hoping to cut development costs so if there’s better way of doing this it would be good to know!
