Plugin Description

This plugin is developed mainly for managing events for fests at colleges, universities schools etc. It is quite feature rich.

The concept behind the plugin is to make the user management easy for registering for an event. It integrates finely with WordPress User system.

When user registers [any level below editor] then he/she is able to apply for event from the admin panel of WordPress. Administrator and Editor are allowed to add/edit events and moderate users and accept/deny/edit their application.

Also give in your Institution detail etc. Check out the videos for more information.

A copy of this with limited feature is available at Google Code . This is where I started the development as I had no intention to release this as another WP Plugin. But as I developed, I realised that it can be of use for someone else as well, so release at WP plugin community. Any future development will be made at here only.

Concept Behind the working of the system

The concept was plain and simple. We wanted to have an online registration system which would take care of everything automatically. Obviously the administrator being able to manage all the users and the users being able to create and manage their profile, team members and contact information.

The basic algorithm goes like this:

Administrator adds an event with all the details.
Users registers using WordPress’ default registration system. They get a menu Events Info. to apply for the event.
User adds team members and edit if needed.
User browse the available upcoming events and applies if he/she likes.
A unique registration ID is generated for the application.
The admin gets a notification and checks the details. He/She approves if the payment is cleared by hand.
The user gets the notification and now able to see/print his application report along with the registration ID.

I have not included any online payment option. Administrator have to approve the application manually. To make it easy, there is an option to search using email or user id.

This is 0.9.9RC3 third Release Candidate. After the first and second RCs, I have fixed some bugs and hope to be done with the plugin, but I will see how it goes for my own college and will fix any further bug if encountered. Then it will be set to public release

Add I18n to the whole plugin.
Replace the error messages with something more corporate. As I was developing for my fellow college mates so I left some funny messages
Add more power to the administrator for user control. The current one is sufficient though.
Show few more options like, “User Profile” on the attendee list page [DONE]
Improve the search feature of attendee. Add proper go back buttons.
Add a detailed help for users, then administrator
Add jQuery UI Theming support for the users
