calendar/events registration tool

[Traci Lovelace]

Hi everybody

I hope this is an easy question that I just have not found the answer to.  One of my sites has a Gcalendar in an iFrame that contains events that are logged by several different people.  I am looking for a way to let site users register for the events so that they receive an email confirmation, and another confirmation with their information is sent to a 3rd party. 

There are many more elegant ways to have an event calendar, and I've looked at a number of them, but they don't meet this group's needs.  They have a manual process of recording who is coming to which event (literally paper and pen) and I don't want to increase anyone's workload by making them enter events into both a Gcalendar and some event management tool.  I think I'm explaining this adequately, but you never know <G>.  Please let me know if this is not clear, or if you think you have a solution.

Thanks

Hi Traci,

I would recommend you try Zap Calendar. The pro version has an RSVP
plugin that allows for users to register to events. The event owner can
view the list of attendees, export the attendee list to Excel, and send
e-mails to attendees. If you need other functionality, let me know,
since I wrote the application and could customize it if needed (OK, I
may be a bit biased). There are over 20 plugins for added functionality
like Google Maps and weather support. If you are interested, let me
know and I can send you an evaluation copy. You can find more
information about it at the Joomla extensions site here:

http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/calendars-a-events/events/events-calendars/8587

Or you can see an RSVP demo here:

http://www.zapcalendar.com/demo (log in using one of the listed
accounts, then create an event in the "Your Events" calendar, then RSVP
to it.)

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I have used Attend Jevents, which integrates with Jevents.  It also supports paid registration.  The developer, Geraint Edwards, is very helpful.

I know that's not a Google calendar... Sorry!  I will reflect some more on it... There is probably a way.

Do your users enter events directly on the website (via GCalendar) or can they also enter them on their own personal Google calendars? The plugin architecture of GCalendar appears to have an event handler that already gets called when an event is created. That could easily be modified to send an email to the administrator or anyone else (with changes to the admin panel). If you're not into writing code, this would be a fairly easy first project.

Hi Bruce

Only 3 users are entering events onto the calendar.  They are not really computer saavy and I do not want to ask them to learn a new system, so this would be optimal. I know there is info out there about this, it's beyond my experience but maybe it is time to learn :)

I appreciate the other ideas, also, and will talk to the users to see what they would like to do. 

Thanks everyone

Traci
