Hi guys – I have a potential new client (I’m writing the proposal up this week) and they have a pretty substantial requirement list for event tracking. I don’t know if EE3 or EE4 does allows for the following:
EE:
Venue landing pages that have all events happening there through the year, with links to register for each one INCLUDING a link to past events (ugg!)
Is it possible to display how many tickets are still available on each event page?
– – Like having “ONLY 5 tickets left for this Event – Register Now” When someone cancels, can this number automatically change?
Calendar Plugin:
Users can select format option (view by day, week or month)
Calendar is printable as PDF?
Ability to click on a specific date and see everything for that date?
Please consider that I am willing to hire my buddies at IvyCat to custom code some of this – but I sort of need to know what pieces I will need to do that with or if these needs are just not going to work…
THANK YOU!!
-Shelly

Hi Shelly,
I’ll follow up with each of your questions below:
Venue landing pages that have all events happening there through the year, with links to register for each one INCLUDING a link to past events (ugg!)
The Venue pages in Event Espresso 4 can be customized to also show a list of events for a venue. Here’s a link to the code snippet:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/useful-php-code-snippets/#venue-event-list
You can add the above to a functions plugin or into your WordPress theme’s functions.php file. You’ll note that there’s some checking for dates in that code to exclude expired events, which can be removed so past events are also displayed. Or the loop could be run twice, once for future events, then a second time to show only past events.
Is it possible to display how many tickets are still available on each event page?
– – Like having “ONLY 5 tickets left for this Event – Register Now”
Yes this is also possible by adding some code to a custom snippets plugin. Here’s an example:

When someone cancels, can this number automatically change?
Yes it will.
Users can select format option (view by day, week or month)
Yes the calendar can include controls at the top to view by day week or month. Here’s a screenshot that shows the controls above the calendar, to the upper right side:

Calendar is printable as PDF?
That’s not actually a standard feature, so you may need to get something custom developed for that.
Ability to click on a specific date and see everything for that date?
Not exactly, there is a similar feature where if there are several events on one day you can set a shortcode parameter like this:
[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR max_events_per_day=2]
Then if there are more than 2 events on that date, it will display a
+ View More link that looks like this:
https://www.evernote.com/l/AAT8oqTJZUpDuJHEmGUZfAffFtRvmDCrhAk
Then if you click on the view more link it will switch the calendar view to display that one day.
One thing I can suggest for the proposal process is make sure you have some allowance for CSS changes to make the calendar blend in with the overall look of the site if that’s going to be important to them. The calendar is kind of plain looking so it doesn’t clash with most themes and they may want the calendar to look more like the rest of the site’s pages.
