TOPIC: Pre-sales Questions about Matukio extension

Hi

1.- Could you please clarify if I could charge users to post events via front-end with paypal by configuring different membership plans? If this is not included do you recommend any extension I could use that integrates well with Matukio?

2.- I requested to receive a link to get access to the back-end demo but I have not yet received the email. Could you please help with this?

3.- As for bookings how does it work? Can I enable or disable the option to pay for the event ticket after booking form in case this function is included ?

4.- Which Joomla Frame/Template do you recommend for this extension to work properly?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hey there,

1. No, this is not something that Matukio has build in, but you could use the Joomla ACL system in combination with a subscription component for this. For example here is how we handle subscriptions on our site. If you purchase Matukio our subscription system will add your user to the Matukio user group. User's in the Matukio group have access to only downloads for Matukio. If you purchase a bundle, then the subscription system will add you in all groups - Hotspots, CComment, Matukio - this way you'll get access to all components.
We are using akeebasubs, but it is a developer component and not that user friendly anymore, but there are a lot of other subscription components out there that can do the same.

2. Have you checked in your spam folder. This is normally where the emails land.

3. We have several plugins for offline booking. If the user doesn't want to pay immediately he can select the cash payment method or bank transfer. You are also able to rename the current plugins. So cash could be "pay afterwards" this way it will be maybe more clear for the user that he won't be charged immediately.

4. Matukio generally works with any template. We use the bootstrap framework, so any template that is build on it should look fine. There are always situations where a template is overriding something in the bootstrap framework, that it shouldn't override, but that doesn't happen that often and if it does, then inspecting the element and adding few lines of css solves the issue.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for kindly taking the time to reply so promtly and clarifying all of my questions.

5. Could Matukio be used to build an events directory where each user can add events and define the payment method (e.g. enter paypal account or payment details) or diable the booking feature alltogether? (This is currently my requierment). I do not see how this could be achieved?

Or is Matukio rather designed for event agencies where they have a few agents entering data on the website?

Any link to documentation providing information about it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey Groß,

You can allow a specific joomla user group to submit events, however you can't have them enter they own payment data. You will be the one collecting the payments - you can't do split payments right now.

Online booking can be disabled by setting "max participants per booking" to 0 (in the event creation) - then the event won't be bookable online.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi

Does Matukio currently integrate with EasySocial and if so would you please provide a demo or documentation whenever possible? Thanks.

Hi,
No, we currently don't support EasySocial. How should such an integration look like? Do you want the booking form to be pre-filled with user data? Or do you have something else in mind?

Daniel
