Hi. I am creating a website for small groups to aggregate their events. I am looking at EE and have the following questions.
With many groups offering low-price or even free community events, will EE handle the volume of attendee admission at the door? If, say, 50 events are happening on the same night, do each of the groups’ ticket-takers need to be an admin to use the app at the door?
Second Question- is it possible to register a user of the site as an event manager who sees and can add/edit only their event? Which EE license does this as well as having the Seating Chart add on?
Is it possible to customize an add event form? so a user does not have to use the wordpress admin screens but can fill out a branded form that appears as part of the front end experience?
Thanks.

Hi Stephen,
EE3 has an addon called Roles and Permissions Pro (Roles and Permissions Basic is needed for Pro to work), which allows you to assign a user the Role of Event manager.
Event Managers can create events and only have access (via the dashboard) for those events. They can also scan tickets for their own events.
Basic events (not all features) can be added from the front end via a form that is embedded with a shortcode (Front-end Event Manager addon required for this, which is a Beta product available to licence holders), however managing those events (checking and editing attendees, the event details etc) can only be done from the Dashboard.
The developer licence contains the Seating Chart and Roles and Permissions Pro. Of course you can purchase those separately as well.
Will EE handle lots of events simultaneously? Yes it will. The bigger question though will be can your server handle it? Running multiple simultaneous events is server intensive so if you are only using shared hosting you will most likely run into problems.

thanks for the quick response. I have been looking at how espresso lite interacts with my template and I am wondering how easy it is to customize the css style of the screens and forms.
I was also hoping to see the shortcodes and template variables before making a purchase– is there a way of accessing that documentation?

Hi,
In EE3 the styles are controlled by ThemeRoller styles (http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/) but these can be turned off to allow for custom styling (while the theme will style some of it, you will probably need to add in extra styles).
Some documentation isn’t currently available to non licence holders, sorry about that. We are considering opening up the documentation, but no formal decision has been made yet,
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
