Hi, I’m designing a website for an after-school program who offers numerous enrichment classes to their students. I’m very interested in using Event Espresso for class registration. I hope you do not mind me batching my questions in a single post.
1) How can weekly recurring events with exceptions for holidays be added? I do not see this option under Automatic for giving a week off and I don’t see a way to delete an occurrence starting at calendar view. Would the event-maker need to add each occurrence individually under Manual?
2) Will end users be able to reuse their Attendee Profile information to register for programs in the future?
3) In the Attendee Information question group, is there a way in the admin panels to remove the Number of tickets field and use only Number of attendees?
That third question leads me to parents/guardians registering multiple children. For a project of this type, the site will need to capture basic information for each child registered.
I see I can add an event to the cart with attendee name and email fields. There would need to be additional iterations of that question group (without the email address requirement) for each student as number of the attendees increases.
So… Does EE have any plans to expand the product to work with more particularly with this type of business?

Hi,
Thanks for your interest in Event Espresso.
1) With the Recurring Event Manager there isnät an automatic way to skip holiday periods. There are two ways to manually do it, either by setting up the events manually, or by setting them up automatically and then manually deleting the events that land on the holidays.
2) Yes and no. If you have the WP User Integration plugin active and they are logged in, then basic profile info (name, email, address) will be ported over automatically for them. Currently this will not work with custom questions.
3) I’m not sure I fully understand you. The Attendee Question Group should not contain number of tickets, in fact that should only show up when the no additional information is required from the additional attendees. If it is the wording that concerns you then you can change this using the language packs to “translate” the wording.
3b) This is already mostly done in the plugin. If you set an event to require additional attendee information then it will ask for the names, email and whatever other questions you desire from each additional attendee. Barring name and email these can also be different from the primary attendees questions. Unfortunately email is a requirement for all attendees, primary or additional.
I hope this covers everything but if not please feel free to ask further questions or for clarification.
