Hi, we purchased calendar pro and the tickets addon last year for this project but really struggled getting it off the ground because we never truly understood if this solution would work, and which products we would need. We are just finalising designs for the theme changes to a new website for this project and next up is the events.<\/p>\n

The project is for a company which sell training courses. There are approx 30 courses, each of which is of a duration ranging from 1-5 days (depending on the course type). Each course is ran on multiple dates at different locations (not the same date each month). For example course 1 (let’s call it a 2 day course) might be ran on 1-2nd Jan in Southampton, 8-9th Feb London, 14-15th June Manchester, 3-4th August Scotland etc<\/p>\n

The idea is to make each training course a product in woocommerce, then perhaps use tickets per course, but the confusion comes with locations and tickets etc etc. <\/p>\n

To explain it really easy, if you look at the current hard coded system on the website for an example course – https:\/\/www.batalas.co.uk\/iso-9001-quality\/foundation-course\/#tab-8c0379fecd7dce6c31d<\/p>\n

This “foundation” course would be a product in Woo. The table of “dates” within this particular product\/course I guess would need to be tickets that can be purchased, but we tried this and it didn’t work because each ticket seemed to need to be in the same location, not different. <\/p>\n

It may be that we need to create different events or tickets or whatever, then use some kind of shortcode to bring this info into the correct product, but would that then be “bookable” i.e. “add to cart” ? <\/p>\n

If we have to create multiple events for each of these and then group\/tag them together, would we be penalised by search engines for using the same description for each of these events.<\/p>\n

As you can see we are a little confused by this, we absolutely love your product, but just need a push in the right direction to work out which place to start. Any help would be greatly received.<\/p>\n

Thanks Rich <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1378766","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nStruggling with which product to use -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/struggling-with-which-product-to-use\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Struggling with which product to use -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi, we purchased calendar pro and the tickets addon last year for this project but really struggled getting it off the ground because we never truly understood if this solution would work, and which products we would need.
