Hi,
Building a site and want to know if EE will fulfill all the requirements:
List courses which vary in length/duration e.g. 2 days to 6 weeks.
Be able to add and edit courses, course descriptions, set dates and duration of courses, and set the number of places per course.
Customers should be able to book onto courses by clicking through for more info which then presents them with info on the course and the available course dates choosing available dates/times from a calendar and making a payment to secure the slot(s).
The plugin should inform the client that a place has been booked and payment received.
The calendar would need to allow courses/course types to be colour coded.
As course places are booked is it possible to employ a “scarcity” tactic by emphasizing that places are becoming limited e.g. the number turns amber then red depending on the criteria set.
Need to be able to collect customer emails and have the ability to send targeted email campaigns to customers (using filters like courses purchased, similar or complementary products etc).
Does plugin support front end of site in multiple languages.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks.

Hi Elaine,
Creating these events will be possible by using Event Espresso 3 + Multiple Event Registration + Calendar + MailChimp.
The scarcity option can be added by adding some custom conditionals to the template files.
The calendar supports color coding event categories. These colors will then be shown on the calender.
Attendees can be added to a specific list on MailChimp during registration checkout and this is enabled on a per-event basis. However, email campaigns would need to be created through the MailChimp interface.

Hi Lorenzo,
Thanks for the reply – much appreciated.
Re: The scarcity option can be added by adding some custom conditionals to the template files.
Are the conditionals well documented – can you point me to where I could have a look before purchase?
Thanks,
Elaine

Hi,
Multiple languages are not currently supported in Event Espresso.
Here is an example of a conditional:

Hi Lorenzo,
Thanks for your reply.
Would EE work with a language plugin like http://wpml.org/?
If we needed to setup e.g. French on a subdomain would one EE licence work across the site and subdomain?
Thanks,
Elaine

Hi,
Came across https://eventespresso.com/wiki/translating-event-espresso/#ee-lang which says:
“This means it is possible to have a WordPress multisite set up to serve a separate language on each site (and have a separate, localized version of Event Espresso active on each — assuming, of course, that there is an Event Espresso language file for each site language).”
Can you confirm this means that you can setup EE in multiple languages across sub domains or folders e.g. /en/ for english, /fr/ for french — but does this mean that they can be served from one site via e.g. a link. Does this also mean one EE licence could be used across them all — or would you expect separate licences to be purchased?
Thanks,
Elaine

Hi Elaine,
Although a multisite is one WordPress install (in terms of WP core files), each site is actually separate as the event information is stored in different databases. Those would need separate support licenses.
We are working on WPML support for EE4 but that will take some time as they are working with multiple WordPress plugin authors.

Hi Lorenzo,
If we were to use EE in multisite mode to be able to setup multiple languages would you be able to do a price reduction on a second, third … licence etc?
Thanks,
Elaine

and is the French language plugin fully translated — it doesn’t say 100% — but neither does it say 100% for English…?

Please send an email to sales here about multisite licenses:
sales [at] eventespresso.com
The language translations for French (Canada & France) just over 40%:

Hi Lorenzo,
Is there anyway to separate out front end from back end for the language changes – I only need front end (customer facing) language translation – the admin end can be in English.
Thanks,
Elaine

Hi,
There is a single language file so once that is applied, it will translate on the front end and in the WordPress dashboard.
