TOPIC: Dt register will always need to have 2 component for work ?

hi

I have a specific project in mind and I am interested to your component. Your stuff seem to be very nice but the fact to must use 2 component (dt register + Jevent) is really annoying because is always necessary to set event in both component. This dependency is very annoying also about security, stability, easy to use and development...

Do you plan to release a version who no need to have Jevent ??

I would like use the future Joomla 1.6 for my project so using a new version compatible joomla 1.6 for Dtregister (I see you plan to do soon) + a new version compatible joomla 1.6 for Jevents will dramatically increase risk, bug, update for manage a site...

thank

Hello. We are working on a new release NOW that will be out by September, released as 2.7. It has many major enhancements, one of which is JEvents is becoming optional. DT Register will run completely on its own, including having its own frontend calendar options.

For now, while there are two components, there is NO double work being done. You enter the event name, date and time in JEvents. That's it. None of those 3 items are entered a 2nd time in DT Register. So you setup events in two places, but really it's no different that just having two different admin pages of the same component. Not a big deal. Yes, doing upgrades for two components is a little more work, but when upgrading DT Register currently, you don't have to make changes to JEvents... so it's generally very painless.

But anyway, yes, we are moving JEvents out... and probably not soon enough

great to know...it is a right decision . Yes is not a big deal to add this infos in Jevent but I think component management must be the more simple and intuitive possible for end users. Personally I don't have any problem to setup any Joomla stuff but is not always the case to my end users... More they have pain for manage and understand how a web software work and more I must provide support...I am sure you see what I mean

Ok I will for the moment test more deeper your actual DTregister and wait your version 2.7..

thank

Just a point please: You say your future version 2.7 will have "major enhancements"...One of them will be to have recurring or repeating events ?? I would like have this feature...and some others... For example another is the possibility to set more "Early Bird Discount Type" and not only one...

thank

We are certainly working to include repeating events. The option for additional early bird fees and such will come... not sure if it will be in the initial 2.7 or not though.

ok well..

Other thing: Do you accept to make some customization? In fact I have a very specific project in mind and I would like have some "backend display" this for make more simple the use for end users... This customization is more based to the fact to hide/remove some current options rather than add some news. Do you are open for make this custom job ?

thank
