I am building a wordpress site for local music events (the mvp from a non-tech fouder). I am looking for a wordpress plugin which will let me create custom fields and tags to add multi-day music events. A typical event may be 3-6 days long and will have information like:
Event name,
Day wise s,hedule,
Music Genre,
Bands,
Band Members,
Venue,
city,
Book Ticket button,
Any plugin/theme recommendation will highly appreciated as this will let me get with my customer validation really quickly.
Thanks

Try Advanced Custom Fields. I use it all the time and it's awesome. 1 million + downloads and almost a 5 star rating.

Events Manager Pro (http://eventsmanagerpro.com/) is a very robust events calendar that supports multi-day events. It uses custom post types for the events and it's easy to extend it -- the plugin has pretty extensive hooks and filters available and decent API documentation. I use it on a number of projects.

I am new here for Wordpress and website development and I have a few questions to ask, so would like to seek advices from your expertise. The post is a little bit long as I combined the questions into 1 post, please accept my apologies in advance :D
Q1: I am building the website with Elementor page builder in wordpress, but one of the challenges I am facing now is that I cannot find a widget that allows me to build Product Selection Page like this Product Selection Page Image
May I know if I want to develop the website to this kind of design, is there anyway I can do it without coding? If yes, can you please also suggest me how should I do it?
Q2: Is there any free widget / plugins I can use if I want to develop the Booking & Payment page to something like this? Booking & Payment Page Image From my research so far, those free booking softwares out there only provide booking functions, if want to add payment function will have to subscribe / pay for it.
And the booking softwares do not provide API, so is there any way that we can extract the data without API?
As my client has budget issue, so is there any other alternatives that I can go with? Or it has to be coded by own self? (if must be this design)
Q3: Let's say after a customer had done booking and payment, by right we should direct them to a Confirmation / Thank You Page. But how do I link the "date" and "package" to their prior selection? As each customer may selection is different. (Please refer to the red lines and circle in the image) Confirmation / Thank you Page
And how do I add the "Add to Google Calendar" function? As I do not see any widget that can do this as well.
Thank you for spending your time to read this post. Appreciate for your time and effort
I have specific (technical + process) issue on one e-commerce project.
We have fully active and working WordPress + WooCommerce, internationalized with premium WPML plugin (everything setup) + Events plugin for events.
We tried to find premium plugin for selling tickets over WooCommerce, but none of the solutions seems to be WPML complient. Events plugin (create by Modern Tribe) have Event Tickets Plus plugin but it doesn't support WPML (it doesn't work).
Does anyone have idea for a good premium plugin to do this, or some patch or workaround for this business process?
So ticket buying process is somewhat like this:
Read text -> choose ticket type (can be several tickets of different types) -> register people for each ticket – custom fields for every ticket type (or skip this by clicking a button and register later) -> pay (chose payment option and pay for the ticket)
Ideas? :)
Original issue wasn't related to translations, but to fact that Events plugin from Tribe is not working with WPML (it crashes). That is later confirmed by Tribe (plugin creators) and WPML translations aren't a way to fix this.
Anyway, after several days we managed to find a good workaround. I'll describe it here, in case anyone has the same issue (I noticed people are complaining about Event Tickets from Tribe aren't supporting WPML.
So, we did this:
We kept original Event plugin (free version)
We removed Event Ticket and Event Ticket Plus plugins (we don't use
them)
We decided to simulate different Tickets with Product variations
There is category called Ticket. Product is now ticket for one specific event, and each variation is
type for that ticket.
We created separated template for category for Ticket where we
removed all WooCommerce things that we don't need for ticket.
We purchased plugin for presenting variations in table view
and customized it according to our needs.
Now, we have all functionalities that we needed without Tickets plugin from Tribe, everything is WPML ready and we have possibility to customize it even more according to our Use Cases.
Example of our implementation can be found at link:

I am building a booking system with Drupal and Ubercart. The booking system is for a paintball site, so I have 200 places I can sell per day, of varied packages including different amounts of paintballs.
I currently have products set as packages that people can purchase, and pay through ubercart on the site. This all works fine as far as selecting and buying a package....
Next, I want to add a calendar to the admin section of the site, so our booking office can log in and see which dates people are booking the games on.
This would mean the customer needs to enter a date during checkout, and then something like Views could find the date, and show it on the calendar once the booking is completed. Therefore giving the booking office a full list of booked games.
I have installed the calendar module, that works beautifully with views, and I can create calendars easily. The only bit I am struggling on, is how to add a date field into Ubercart checkout, in a way that views & calendar can detect it.
I have added uc extra field and uc addressess, which allows me to add an extra field into the billing address section. So i've done that for now, but the field is just a text field, when Ideally i would like it to be a jquery pop up menu.
I have installed (and uninstalled) multiple Rooms and Uc hotel booking modules, as they just do not meet my needs, and seem to make it overly complicated. Plus once they are installed, they would need hacking to only accept a single game date, and not a booking, or rooms, or children, pets etc.
Has anyone built a system like this before? Or could you point me in the right direction?
Currently using these modules on this project...
-ubercart
-rules
-token
-views
-ctools
-entity api
-date
-stringoverride
-calendar
-uc address field
-uc field attribute
-uc extra fields pane
Also, if it helps, take a look at the progress here... booking.webfroth.co.uk
Did you try -
Agreservations
The agreservations-module is a module to handle reservations of resources.
I created a website build around a custom post type events. These events have custom fields, one of them is the event-date (the date the event is happening, NOT post publish date). I'd like a calendar widget that simply highlights the days an event is happening (maybe with a link to it). This means i need to plug my custom fields into a calendar widget plugin.
I found this post from 2 years ago, http://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-posts-in-a-calendar-using-custom-field-as-date?replies=8 - it seems they wanted exactly what i'm asking for. Unfortunately i couldn't figure out how to do it with the plugin mentioned by them (FT calendar).
Most calendar widget plugins simply use the pust-publish date. I need them to take their date-data from a custom field.
Do you guys have an idea which calendar-widget-plugin/way would be best for me?
After I've made a search and test of some of the event calendar plugins, calendar that would be closest to your need is All-in-One Event Calendar. After installing it is necessary to upgrade to the Standard version. The plugin has far too many options than it is needed, but is highly configurable so it can be configured to work roughly what you need.
Here is also the link with the analysis of different Wordpress event calendar plugins.
I have an online chair store which is using the open source e-commerce solution opencart.
I have set up Google Analytics for this website to track visitors, sales, referrals etc etc. Im sure most of you are more than aware of the power of GA.
I don't want to track the amount of sales the website generates, that is already set up. I want to track the amount of times people added an item to their shopping cart and then maybe (not essential) how many of them went on to buy and how many didn't.
I have scoured and posted on/in the opencart forums, but so far no luck as to finding an answer to this.
Is anybody aware of how to do this? Or if not, any links or resources which could help me on my way.
Check out this section of the Google Analytics docs on Custom Variables. They use this exact example, tracking when a user places an item in the cart. This will take care of the part about the amount of times people added an item to their cart.
You could also use Events, but Custom Variables are better suited when using the correct session-level scope (2 for us, and in the example provided).
To find out those that didn't buy, you should be able to create a report for that Custom Variable and see which ones did not convert a transaction. This will probably be a custom report in the new interface, but I think the old GA interface showed ecommerce stuff by default with the Custom Variables.
Hope this helps!
