Event Booking - FrontEnd Forms

Hello There,
I'm considering to buy the Event Booking extension for Joomla. Because there're no free version to try and the price is quite high, I want to be sure about some features I need before proceed to the purchase.
I'm setting up a University platform to manage events. In this platform, 4 kinds of users will be present: managing, departments, schools and students.
My questions are:
1) Will registered users (belonging to managing and department groups) able to create an event from frontend (public side) of the website (without need to access to Admin backend!)? ;
2) Each event should have, in addition to classic fields (name, date, place, etc.):
- a field (or box or text) that is green when no users are registered to the event, that became yellow when the first user is registered (or a text "in negotiation" shown) and that will became red when maximum number of people is reached (or a text "event closed");
- the same field (or box) should became red when a Management's user click a button "Close Event", if necessary.
3) Management's Users should be able to extrapolate a list of registered people to an event or a list of people registered to the platform without access to Admin backend.
I'll wait for your courtesy reply. Kind Regards,
Antonello.

Hello Antonello

The feature #1 and #3 is supported. Unfortunately, the feature #2 is not supported in the extension

Tuan

Thanks for extremely quick reply.
I'm happy #1 and #3 are available.
About feature #2, I was reading the guide: it is not possible to add something similar not even with a custom SQL statement ( eventbookingdoc.joomservices.com/basic-s...m-fields/field-types ) ??

No, it is not possible to SQL custom field type for that purpose.

Also, the fields on frontend event submission form are not configurable. There are two layouts available: Default (which contains most of file, same as backend) and Simple (which only contains basic fields)

I guess you can purchase a copy of the extension to try. If it doesn't work as expected, you can request us for refund

Tuan

Dear Mr. Tong,
I completely read the manual of the extension and let me say it's really superb! Congrats!
So, I was thinking to purchase it but, I would ask you two things
1) if, eventually, paying, you could be interested in developing this custom feature (feature #2) or
2) if you can tell me which xml file is the event submission template that I could try to modify myself, adding fields I need.
Thanks for reply,
Antonello.

Hi

#1=> I still don't really understand what you will enter into that field for each event? A text ? If so, could you send me a sample text so that I can understand our need?

2=> There are two layout files (depend on use default or simple submission layout), it is:
components/com_eventbooking/view/event/tmpl/form.php or components/com_eventbooking/view/event/tmpl/simple.php

Dear Mr. Ngoc,
first of all, thanks for considering to add this custom functionality. I'll try to be as clear as I can.
Second, I need to customize NOT the registering form (for that one I can use 'normal' custom fields you already provided) but the layout of a published event.
I uploaded a zip file with 3 jpeg that should be much more exhaustive than words.
Look at the 3 images and please read here:
- number 1 is simple a button. This button must be available/visible only for Admin's group users to give them the possibility to close an event for any reason before the normal end date;
- number 2 I think could be a conditional text box with a proper CSS style to colour the box as shown. The condition is:
IF events_participants==0
system.out.println("OPEN")
ELSE
IF events_participants==MAX || close_button==clicked
system.out.println("CLOSED")
ELSE
system.out.println("NEGOTIATING")
I hope now you have a clear idea of what I need. Please let me know if you can integrate this functionality, so that I can proceed to purchase the extension (maybe I can purchase 2 copies of the extension if you'll add this feature).
I'll wait for your reply. Regards,
Antonello.
