Is this the right program for us?

Hi!

Didn’t find where to mail my questions so I try here!

I’m looking for a program for this:
– Looking for something that looks like Google Forms in order to set up one event with multiple “questions” in a easy way.
– Create radiobuttons in one question and another in question two etc.
– Manage for 3.000 people in one event with many lectures to choose from in a singel day.
– In one event, each question must have “Maximum places” or tickets
– For each questions could click a link to a Youtubemovie witch shows up in an own “window” (lightbox?) and after disappear and you are back in the questions.

Hi Björn,

Thanks for your interest in Event Espresso.

If you haven’t already, you can test drive EE4 over at http://demoee.org. It might give you a clearer insight as to whether the plugin is suitable for your needs.

To answer your questions:

– Looking for something that looks like Google Forms in order to set up one event with multiple “questions” in a easy way.

Custom questions can be very easily set up and even broken down into re-usable groups. We do not currently support conditional logic.

– Create radiobuttons in one question and another in question two etc.

I’m not 100% sure what you mean by this so you may need to explain further, but radio buttons are available as a question type.

– Manage for 3.000 people in one event with many lectures to choose from in a singel day.

Large events are not an issue for the plugin. However, you will need to make sure that your hosting can support a large influx of users. Generally I would suggest not using shared hosting if you expect that amount of people in a short period of time.

– In one event, each question must have “Maximum places” or tickets

Sorry, again I’m not 100% sure what you mean by this, but in an (EE4) event, tickets and/or datetimes can be set to have a capacity. This enables you to manage the number of people that can purchase particular tickets, or tickets for particular dates.

Questions don’t have any sort of capacity system. Perhaps you can explain in more detail?

– For each questions could click a link to a Youtubemovie witch shows up in an own “window” (lightbox?) and after disappear and you are back in the questions.

HTML can be used in questions, so links aren’t an issue, though we have no inbuilt light box functionality. You would need to use a third party plugin or function for that.

Let me know if you have further questions or need clarification on anything, and don’t forget to give EE4 a test drive!

Hi!
I have some pictures I would like to send you to better explain my questions.
Where do I send them?

Hi,

You can either add them to an image hosting service and link them here, or send them via support@eventespresso.com (please include a link to this forum page as well!).

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

I’ve took a look at the images you sent, and Event Espresso doesn’t exactly look like that out of the box.

The events are listed like posts and the customer will select an event by clicking it and then choose a number of tickets and then fill out their registration (it can also be set up so thaqt the list of events has the ticket selector showing, so as to possibly reduce one step).

I would strongly recommend checking out the EE4 test drive over at http://demoee.org so you can get a better sense of how EE4 works.

You could use the EE templating and CSS to change some of the looks of the events to mimic what you want, but the radio button selection would not be possible. (If you’re not comfortable with CSS and PHP you may need a WP developers assistance with this).

We will be introducing a system to EE4 in the near future that allows users to add multiple events to a cart and purchase them (currently they have to register for each event individually).

Please let me know if you have any further questions!
