  • Hi Evy2geny,

    I have both the free version of this plugin (as seen here) and the pro version. I haven’t tested the free version that was updated a few hours ago, as it looks like DOP (the developers) have completely revamped by taking the pro version and stripping out some features. A previous limitation was a single calendar, so if you need more calendars (I.e. you run different types of events) then you should buy the pro version.

    I haven’t studied your list of requirements in detail, but they are very event heavy, whereas this is a multi purpose booking system rather than event management system.

    DOP may correct me here, but I don’t believe there is a recurring booking option (point 2) and I don’t think a user can ammend or cancel bookings that they have made.

    I’m also fairly certain that there isn’t a waiting queue feature of the ability to send via SMS.

    As this is a free plugin I think the best thing to do would be to install it on a test site and run your tests against it.

    Hope that helps!

    DOTonPAPER,

    thank you for your answer. Still it is not clear about the ability of users to cancel their own reservation.:

    10. Registered wordpress users shall be able to cancel their registration

    Users have access to all the reservations.

    What does it mean? Can the user cancel his reservation or not?

    11. (Optional) Registered wordpress users shall be able to see all their registrations for all events, but not registrations of others. In another words, any user shall be able to login and see all bookings/registrations he has done.

    No

    What does it mean exactly? do users see registrations of everybody? Or do they see no registrations at all?

    10. Users can see all the reservations, and can cancel any/their own reservations.

    11. Users can view all the reservations, and can cancel any of them.

    Thank you.

    Well,

    this means, that a user can cancel a reservation of some other user. Is this correct?

    Plugin Author DOTonPAPER

    (@dotonpaper)

    Yes.

    Thank you.
