I would like to be able to place an enrollment form/forms in the sidebar of my WP pages. Currently I have some pages with contact forms (for an example of what I mean, you can see my page at: http://institutopsicologiaalternativa.com/tratamiento-individual/).
I am looking for basically the same thing, but applied to “events,” or in this case courses and seminars. I would like to be able to place the form there preferably with shortcode, but a widget would work as well. Think something like a Contact Form 7 on steroids that of course funnels into the backend “management” part of things (automatic confirmation emails w/information, tickets, etc. that I already know EventEspresso does)
Characteristics that I am looking for in the form are:
1) Must work in a Page and Post formats with sidebar enabled
2) Drop-downs that are dependent on date (exe: available ticket prices change with time)
2b) It would be really nice if I could have an event saved, then as I added dates/locations, they were automatically added to the options on the enrollment form. (exe: I have a “learn to meditate course” that takes place at various dates and locations. It would be amazing to have a template that simply let me continually add different dates/loc and have them automatically updated in the enrollment form on the various pages.)
3) Drop-downs that have if/then type options (for example the first drop down has X options, and the options in the next drop-down are dependent on the previous selection)
4) Payment Options selection
5) Captcha enabled or similar
Any information on the possibility of this would be great!

David G that is precisely the information I need as well. I also need to find a detailed description of the transaction tools on the back end for office managers to account transaction histories and students/participants tracking. I want to know how EE (event espresso) enable returning students/participants to log into the site and see their history? Please point me to any documentation you have available. Thank you.

Hey guys,
I am sorry for the delay in response.
Jon, I think that site you referenced is down now.
What you are looking for would require significant customization of Event Espresso. While we aren’t taking custom dev work until around April, we can put you in contact with one of our Pro developers, if you’d like. Just email us at saleseventespresso.com and let us know.
For the schortcode in a widget, you can try this:
Add this code to your functions.php:
/* Allow shortcodes in widget areas. */
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
Then you can paste the event shortcode into the widget area of your choice. I haven’t tested this all the way through, but the process will not remain in the widget area. Once the user clicks submit on the registration form, they will be take to the confirmation page.

So, in short, this is not possible with EE?

Hello Again,
Part of it is possible. If you would like the registration for to be in a widget, it can be done by pasting the code I provided above into your theme’s functions.php file. The part that isn’t possible without custom development is processing the registration all the way through within the widget area. I have set this up (without any CSS fixes) here: http://eetesting.info/jon/
