Event booking system, member management and online payment in TXP

otti · 2011-08-15 09:24:51

I’m using TXP for quite some years now as a straight forward CMS. Now I have the need to add an event booking system, member management and online payment to a website. I have researched the forum here but I could not find a solution on how to implement member and event management. All posts re plugins etc are fairly old, so I don;t know if I’m on the right track. Any recommendations are very much appreciated.

Many thnaks

Hi otti,

We’re going to give trybooking.com a go. The interface & set up is a bit clunky but it’s cheap & the hard bit – bookings, registration, & online payment – is all built in.

Cheers,

Adi

Hi Adi,

Thanks for the tip. It looks good, but I don’t like that the customer/buyer has to pay a fee as well. Would be good if that fee could be added to the seller. The implementation via iFrame and JSON seems to be good, since I would like to keep the buyers of event tickets on the website.

Will also have to look into member management on the website. This will be separate from the events.

Many thnaks

you should talk to this guy… http://www.electricprism.com he has experience with a txp based booking system.

have a look at the MoST event management system in their CMS. It’s a pretty strong .net based CMS. which guides you through the setup of events, and does all the online registration for you.
Their website is www.getmost.info

Thanks jeffed,

I’m not experienced enough in .net, and would rather stick to PHP. Also, was hoping to use TXP as the CMS and not some other CMS. Will let you know what my findings are.

Cheers

Hey Otti,

I’m also looking for an online booking solution, preferably TXP based of course.
Did you have any success with this?

Thanks!
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I stopped my investigation for a while, since my client is not decided to go ahead with my quote. I had a look at Try Booking and that looks very promising.

Let me know how you go.

Cheers

My dream project is to create a registration plugin. This is a bit easier for me, as my site is wholly restricted to members who are known to us – they have to go through a ‘real world’ registration process before coming members.

But my idea is:

people log in to the site using ign_password_protect
article authors allow for registration to an event using a custom field, together with an expiry date for registrations,
if the custom field is set and registrations haven’t expired, then the member can register for the event (eg. yes/no radio button),
the member’s registration (ie. article id, user_id) is posted to a specific table in the database,
members with specific privileges see a list of all members who have registered for the event, and
the homepage lists all events the member has registered for.

But none of this involves payment.

This idea is on the back burner whilst I get the whole member management thing bedded down.

Hi Anura,

Your project sounds exciting and absolutely feasible. You are lucky you don’t need the payment integration. I think that’s where many problems can come into play, especially with any payment gateway talking back to TXP.

Keep us posted about your project, when you find the time.

Cheers
