Joe or whoever can do this,

After setting up a web page for my wife's Pet Grooming business using Mojo I am now moving to the upcoming Dog Training part of her business. I have been playing with Event Calendar Pro on the demo site today and have been thinking of how it may be able to implemented for some of my other clients. I have one question, one or two needed changes and three "it would be nice to have" requests.

Question: Can you use Paypal upon checkout?

Needed Change 1: It would seem that most if not all of my clients would benefit from training registration or course registration setup rather than then event type currently used. With the Event Repeats, classes, courses, seminars or training are often held on Monday for 8 weeks or Tuesday for 6 weeks, etc. I would need this type of event reoccurrence to be handled by Event Calendar Pro.

Needed Change 2: "Pay by Check (Cheque in Canada) option in the checkout. Customer pays by Cheque at first class or mails it in...

Like to have 1: Like to be able to color code some classes as well. "Event Category" drop down list maybe with corresponding colors.

Like to have 2: Like to be able to change terms such as "purchase tickets" to "register for class".

Like to have 3: Like to be able to specify more fields for Customer Information when registering for a class or event.

If any of this is considered to benefit your current package and you would like to add it then great. If this is a major change and you would like to discuss project/payment information please contact me. I would be looking at the Server or Enterprise version of the software.

Thanks
Rob

Joe,

That's fantastic news. Are updates included with Event Calendar?

As for # 3... Let's take my wife's grooming business, when we get into training and (hopefully) boarding we will need to get information regarding the animal, not just the person paying. Animal's name, gender, spay/neutered, Name of Vet.
For the Alcohol and Drug rehab centre they do courses for trainers that require information such as their certification ID from the Ontario Board. Also to confirm that they have taken prerequsite courses and where they have taken them.

Maybe even an integration with Form Wizard Pro. Have a flag/checkbox on the event setup that puts a custom form in before the payment information screen. Administrators could collect the information they need and possible store it in with the registration information.

I just thought of one more thing. Does the calendar inform the visitors if the events are sold out? That could be and Administrator option as well. The administrator could check a box off if they want to let the users know when the event is sold out. Little red "sold out" flag on the event listing!?!?

Is there a yearly upgrade fee for Event Calendar and Forms Pro?

Do you have an estimated completion date for the next event calendar release?

I understand your point in integration between the two products and your solutions look like viable alternatives.

Thanks
Rob

Running into a couple of issues.

1. When specifying "Registration Allowed Dates" the calendar appears behind the footer.

2. I set up a six week training course with a "when" date of 2/2/2009 to 2/2/2009 from 7:00p.m. to 8p.m. Then I specified weekly repeats until 3/9/2009 figuring that the last class would be on the 9th. of March. Then I set the registration allowed dates to Jan 1 to Feb 1, 2009.

• The system changed my weekly repeats to 3/8/2009 cutting off the last class. When I changed the repeats to finish on March 16th (one week later) the last class on the 9th was included. Not a big deal but definitely needs some documentation.
• After clicking on each week's listing in the calendar I noticed that the March events had not begun registration yet and in fact their Begin Registration Date had been set to Jan 22nd and the next week's date was different as well. I'm assuming that the system is setting each week up as different events (courses) and if I was to start register it would let me register the maximum number of total seats per week instead of per course. This is one event that lasts 6 weeks (or 6 Mondays) no 6 separate events.

I was going to test further but my crappy country satellite internet connection keeps dropping on me and I'm already 4 hours late getting to a customer's place today.

Thanks

When ordering tickets and filling in the Customer Information why do I have to click the “Update” button before I can click “I Promise to Pay Later”.

When customizing the “Get Ticket Text” to “Register for this Course” the modifications show up in List View but not when viewing the individual event. Viewing the event details still displayed “Register for this Event”.

When the user views the Event Details page (as I call it) the event title looks to be comprised of Event Description – From Date – To Date. Again speaking from the whole school / night school sort of setup I’m going for it would be nice to be able to change this a little. Since many of the courses are one day a week something have a from date and to date of “1/19/2009 – 1/19/2009” is a little redundant. Maybe the admin could customize this to suite the nature of the event. “Level 1 Training – Starts Jan. 16 – Every Monday for 6 weeks”.
