By Nate Wright on
I worked with Event Espresso for a client that had a few unique requirements for the ticketing checkout flow. The code follows Java-like MVC patterns, which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your perspective.
I found it a bit difficult to dive into and I often wished for a more flexible set of hooks. The markup and styling was often over-prescriptive, forcing me to write a lot of CSS code to overcome some default styling settings I wasn’t too happy with.
That said, they’re moving pretty quickly with the 4.x code and are improving the extensibility. However, they’re also breaking backwards compatibility in a few places, which means the custom addon I built locked us into a particular version. It would take a heavy rewrite to update for the new version. So, there are pros and cons on that front.
The feature set is extensive, in particular when configuring tickets. Multiple prices, limits per-price, availability dates per-price, etc. This complexity leads to a pretty bloated interface which can sometimes be overwhelming for clients. So, again, pros and cons.
All in all, it seems like a platform designed for people who need to do a lot but don’t have great coding skills. It tries to do a lot out-of-the-box which can be great for users but throws up extra obstacles for developers who really want to customize the experience.
I gave it 4-stars because the support is timely and helpful — both for customization needs and for user help — and because I think it serves its target market well.
Also, there is definitely a good-faith effort here to build an extensible platform. It could just be that the checkout process — which I’m told was rewritten for an upcoming (maybe already released version) — still lacked the extensibility I needed at the time I needed it.
