Hi,
I run a golf tournament for a golf club. We have six different events over the course of a week for men, women and mixed teams. I'm currently using OS Events Booking, but find the design and layout of forms and confirmation e-mails etc. rather clumsy, and there are some problems with fields being omitted in the registration process.
The main thing I need is:
1. The ability to have custom fields for specific events. For example one event might need the entry form to record just a single player's details, another event might require the listing of a team of four golfers, with each golfer's name, club, handicap and their national registration number.
2. The ability for people entering the tournament to select and enter two or more events in the one transaction. For example, they might enter an individual event on one day, plus an event with a partner on the next day. OS Events Booking works on a shopping cart metaphor, but it would be OK if entrants could go back and just select an additional event before completing their registration and payment.
3. Some adaptability for the local and golf-specific terminology e.g. 'entry' rather than 'registration' or 'booking', and we don't actually sell 'tickets' as such, just record all the entries. OS Events Booking allows translation of terminology to particular organisational needs.
Does Matukio cater for these requirements?

Hi Colin,

1.) Matukio offers both event specific and "global" fields. So this should be possible :)

2.) No this is not possible, we had some sort of shopping cart in mind, but this is not working out for most of our users. There will be a batch / mass booking form with Matukio 5.3 though. Old booking data is automatically loaded into the booking-form, so they normally don't have to type all booking informations again.

3.) You can just use joomla language overrides, just go to Extensions -> Translations -> Overrides, search for things like booking and change it to registration.

Kind regards,
Yves

OK, thanks.
1 and 3 sound fine, but 2 is a major problem for me. We have people wanting to enter three or four events, and only being able to book one at a time is a big hurdle.
I'll wait and see what you do with 5.3, for my purposes it really needs something like a button to go back and enter another event rather than going straight through to payment.
