Trying to put together an event registration system for our charity fundraiser, and need to know if your product can do what I need.

- Registration for a single event, without having to search through a calendar.
- Be able to choose/book a scheduled spot in the day (detail below).
- Have an alternative guest type bookable.

We have an event that will allow people to either book in as individuals or as teams of 4. The event has 4 groups that will be leaving in 20 minute slots. So 4 teams at 08:00, another 4 at 08:20 etc. People need to be able to choose/book their slot.

As well as team members, the event has a very good entertainment programme (5 course dinner etc), and so teams need to be able to book in a non-event person(s) for just the entertainment, which will be at a different price.

Can the register product do this? Can you let me know please?

Thanks,

Hello. First, a calendar view is available, but is optional. You can also give a list view... or you can create direct links to registration manually or using our EventLink plugin to place Register buttons in an article or other places.

Second, using our powerful fields, you can give various scheduling options... in this case you'd use checkboxes, radio buttons or dropdowns (depending on if you want to allow people to select multiple slots or not) which will give the times like 8:00, 8:20, 8:40, etc. You can set fees on each time (if needed) so price is calculated based on which slot is chosen or how many are chosen... you can also set a limit on each slot to make sure not more than 4 (in your example) people select that slot. No other solution will give you all of that control in your fields.

Third, you can have a field (or fields) to select registration types... to give the different prices for guests, participants, etc. We also have conditional fields (not available elsewhere) so you could set (for example) the time slot options to show up only if someone chooses to register as a participant. If they choose to register as a guest, then you could have different options to show up for meal type choices, etc.

DT Register can get the job done :) If you have other questions, let us know. Thanks.

Ok, thanks for the response. I wanted to test this on your demo site before spending the money (end of the day we raise money for charity, and I don't want to waste anything).

I logged in to the backend and can see all of the settings and configs etc, and created an event. This shows in the events list, but its not occurring in the demo site; not visible and doesn't show. :?

How can I test/prove this before buying? Or do you offer a money back guarantee!? :wink:

If it's not creating the recurring events, then something wasn't set properly when you were creating it. Make sure you enter a number for how many repeats to create... or create until a set date. This is probably what you were missing. If you can't nail it down, I'll go in there and create it for you.
