Hey support. I totally get that you don’t want to inadvertently give support to users who haven’t purchased a product, simultaneously by hiding replies it makes it much harder to determine if there is a solution worth paying for 😉

I am interested in EE3 or EE4
I run a competition. The participants can compete BOTH as a team and as individuals. The size of the venue restricts the numbers to 370 however participants can register for as many categories as they like. All participants must be members in order to compete. The crew leader can register an entire crew of up to 40 people for a particular category and the competitor can register for individual events as well.

For the life of me i cannot figure out 3 things.

    How to insure that each participant is a member via your software. I use paid memberships pro to manage members it would be great to be able to hook the members table to check for valid memberships.
    How to allow participants to register for multiple events without artificially the capacity requirements and selling out prematurely
    How to sell the tickets given the above, insuring I register people to the correct Events, categories and age divisions.

I am happy to purchase an extension or support if I knew it could do what i need but I cannot determine that as requests that ‘look’ similar to what I want have the answers blocked.

Help!

Hi Omar,

Here is some feedback:

Accepting registrations for large groups (20+) will require a more powerful server than shared hosting. You would need a VPS or equivalent to process each attendee and their registration details.

Event Espresso 3 meets most of your requirements so I would go with that version.

How to insure that each participant is a member via your software. I use paid memberships pro to manage members it would be great to be able to hook the members table to check for valid memberships.

Event Espresso 3 does not do this on its own but you can do this by using some code like this:

It can be added to your child theme’s functions.php file or a site specific plugin:

How to allow participants to register for multiple events without artificially the capacity requirements and selling out prematurely

The multiple event registration add-on can be used for this requirement. It works by allowing attendees/registrants to add various events to a shopping cart. Then attendee/registrant information is entered once and a payment is made.

How to sell the tickets given the above, insuring I register people to the correct Events, categories and age divisions.

Could you provide more information on this question?

A visitor to your site would be able to register for any events that are available. However, it sounds like you would like to restrict certain events.
