Feature request: waiting list

  • Dear developers of Events Manager,

    the plugin that you have developed is in use in our community and we see that (with the Pro version) it fits many of our needs. One feature we find that is in great need is a waiting list. I could dream up some requirements, but before doing that, I would like to know if this is worth the efford. maybe you are alrwady developing this, or (hopefully not) you have decided that a waiting list wil be on the waiting list forever.

    Some thoughts:

    • each booking can have (but not necessarily so) a waiting list (checkbox)
    • when a waiting list is indicated in the event, the organiser can indicate the amount of people that can fit on a waiting list
    • when the maximum number of reservations (as indicated in the event booking form) has been reached, and the waiting list option is checked, people will be notified that they can make reservartions for the waiting list
    • when the waiting list is full, no more reservations can be made
    • the event organiser can approve/deny acces to people on the waiting list
    • I guess that this will also need some more notification templates

    Please add your thoughts.

    Good to hear this. I have assumed my ZEN position and will await further communications.

    An alternative way for this is to use a combination of conditional placeholder and shortcode for forms can get emails. (ie: mailchimp, aweber, gravity forms or others.)

    Example below: Then when users fill-out the form, You could just get the list the fillouts the said form and send them emails if needed. 

    {fully_booked}
<p>Please fill-out the form below and We'll contact you when the event is available again.</p>
[some_shortcode_for_forms]
{/fully_booked}

    @tim01 great solution :).

    I customized this backup/waiting list feature for my platform but had to touch plugin code. So I am a bit afraid of updating now ;).

    @findingitontheway
    Could you please share the code with us? I am highly interested in that to adapt my platform as well. Thank you!
