TOPIC: Pre-sale Question - Matukio

I read a few threads and some questions are answered. A few more.
1) Possible to add rating system for tutor/teacher?
2) The multiple ticket prices are set by date. Can it be set by number of tickets?
3) Is there a guide to show how to create a frontend login for organizers? Also, a simple guide on how to allow event creation as well. (Having hard time trying to use your live demo to do that.)
4) Is there a event template? The event creation has a lot of fields which average users do not know how to complete them. A set of preset templates for them to choose from will be a lot simpler for them. They just need to fill in the blanks and press save.
5) A repeating question: When do you think the feature to approve events before publish will be available?

BTW, we have joomla developers with us as well. If it is possible, we would like to add features of our own to the system.

Do let us know. Thank you.

Hi Allan,

1.) An event rating system is already built in.
2.) No that is not possible currently, you mean discount for multiple booking?
3.) You don't have to create a login for them, any organizer (Joomla ACL group by default starting with editor userlevel - just login as the demo user in the frontend) get's a new tab in the eventlist view (My Offers), were they can manage their events and bookings and create new ones.
4.) You can easily duplicate events and you also can set the default values for the new event creation (see Matukio Settings -> config -> Defaults tab)
5.) Will come with Matukio 5, but it's just one line of code to change if you are in a hurry.

Kind regards,

Yves

Hi,

1) I know. But we are planning to rate tutors as well.
2) I mean like early bird tickets: 20 seats $10, normal price ticket: 50 seats $20, door price ticket: 30 seats $30. Something like that.
3) Cool. Didn't see that. Can this page be customized?
4) I know events can be duplicated. But if the organizer is new, then he may not be able to create event with ease. So, that will bring us back to 3), can the page be customized so that we can provide step-by-step guide, just like the one you created for payment.
5) That will be awesome! Will contact you once we buy the plugin.

If you don't mind,
a) Is there an option to only show organizer's own events after login?
b) We are looking at membership module as well. Any plan to include this?
c) If the tutor can be rated, we are looking at tutor profiling as well. Possible to put this into your wishlist? For the mean time, I will try to look for other plugins to link with Matukio. Any plugin comes to your mind?

Thank you for quick response.

1.) No, rating tutors is currently not built in, but i added it to the wishlist.
2.) Hmm no that isn't possible currently and not very easy to integrate (working for everyone)
3.) Hmm what do you miss? What sort of customizations?
4.) Aye, a new template system (there is alreay a currently disabled one) is also on my todo-list for a later version, but currently you can just duplicate events.

a) The organizer can only edit their own events (by default) and more are not shown in the My Offers tab (By default you can change that if you want)
b) Can you explain a bit more? Participants can see all their bookings including all details in the My bookings tab (frontend)
c) Profiling? Matukio offers inbuilt organizer pages (including detailed description, images, private comments etc.)

Kind regards,

Yves

Sorry for the vague questions.

a) If possible, a setting to show only their own events after login will be good. I don't want the organizers to get confused with the long list of events if they wish to preview their own.
b) By membership, it is like a subscription type of membership. Either organizers or participants can signup (with a fee) a premium membership where they enjoy some additional features.
c) I would like to get the tutor to add in their profile as well so that we can promote the tutors instead of the organizers. (Organizers may not be tutors)

As mentioned, for the above reasons, I would like to offer help on making my wishlist to be completed, as I am launching my site very soon.

Thank you.

Hi Allan,

a) The organizer sees by default just their own events in the My Offers Tab and not all.
b) No something like that is not built in, you would need to write that yourself or work with ACL levels and restrictions
c) In Matukio this is normally the same, we have two different fields for that, but we normally suggest using the organizer as tutor.

Kind regards,

Yves

P.S.: I am currently working on Matukio 5 - i would suggest you wait for this release, before you start changing Matukio code

May I know when is the release date?

Also, possible for you to come up with a template like this page? jomevents.comdev.eu . How much will it cost?

Hi Allan,

we don't have a fixed release date yet - eventually at the end of the year or in the beginning of next year. There are a lot of features on the todo-list, but maybe we also split it into multiple releases again (depends on testing etc.) and we will have a first version (with less features ofc) much earlier.

Template is another topic - Maybe, but only as a nice addition to the ultimate subscription (as a gift for their loyalty), but the extension comes first.

The big downside on templates is, that you optimize then for that one and people want the same look on their own pages (which isn't possible without 100s lines of css changes etc.), so we normally focus on the default Joomla templates.

Kind regards,

Yves

Hi Yves,

Been waiting for sometime. Finally, version 5 is out.

I see changes, but not completed yet. But anyway, just want to know. By any chance that you will add ticket sales by event report? Need it to calculate event payout. It will be great if commission calculation is included.

Thanks.

Hi Allan,

By any chance that you will add ticket sales by event report?

I added it to the wishlish, this would require not more then 10 lines of code, so if you are in a hurry you could add a script for that.

It will be great if commission calculation is included.

It's very hard to integrate something like that for everyone - if you want we can make you a custom development quote for that.

Kind regards,

Yves

Please do let me know how to add a script. That will at least solve my problem of paying out. And I will look into getting you to develop code for commission calculation.

Thanks for the quick response.
