Hi All,
I am narrowing my search for the solution to my project. I need to recreate this form: http://laverne.edu/form/information-session/ which is currently working off of Google Docs.
What we need to do is create and manage information sessions (which would be the events) and their attendees. Secondly, we would need to create one singular form which can tap into the events system and return available sessions based off of the dates of the events and a location field which will be pre-populated by our current office/campus locations.
In your use case sessions you list under Education ‘Course Registrations’. This would be a very similar case scenario I would imaging. Do you have any examples of this?
I am a developer and I don’t mind doing some custom code to accomplish this, I just want to select the right tools. The only other option we have right now is to somehow integrate Gravity Forms and WPMU’s Events+ plugins. Please let me know if this is a viable tool to accomplish this. Thank you.

Hi Jesse,
We don’t offer conditional registration forms right now. That’s in the plans for the future, but it’s not available right now.
Let me know if I can do anything else for you.

Hi Garth,
Thank you for the quick reply. I don’t mind coding the form myself, just as long as there is access to query the Espresso Events system, then capture the form field data for moderation in the admin section. I see you now have an API. Does this seem like a plausible scenario?

Hi Jesse,
I think it would depend on how much development time you’d be willing to put into the project. Event Espresso works a little different than the mockup you linked to, but it could be used as a platform to build on to make this happen. The API could be used as well if you wanted to build an application from scratch instead of building on top of Event Espresso’s registration functionality.

Thanks Josh! We expect some development time as this is for sure a custom use case.

Hi Jesse,
If you go the API route, we have some documentation that’s available to Event Espresso support license holders.
If you decide to build on top of the Event Espresso plugin’s registration process, please let us know if there are any hooks we can add to the core functions to make what you’re building maintainable.

Sounds good to me! (Side note: I will be able to enable this plugin on multisite install, correct?)

The core functionality of Event Espresso works on Multisite when activated on a per-site basis. It does not work when it’s network activated.
The one thing that will not work on Multisite is the 1-click update feature since the license verification isn’t compatible with Multisite. Updates will have to be done manually by deactivating, deleting and re-installing Event Espresso and its add-ons when updates are available.
