Hello all,

I just renewed my Dev membership and look forward to another year with Joomlapolis. However, something has come up which might mean I cannot use CB/CB Subs for some clients which may mean I can't use it, period, for any.

I've always used DT Register. JEvents, and CB Subs as a solid trio of applications to solve my clients' needs who do membership and need an integrated events package. Recently, I'm having serious issues with making that work. Nothing on your part - it's other issues with other companies.

However, the problem is what do I do if I need integrated events components? In other words, if an event is based on membership - or worse, event levels of payment and participation based on differing memberships, how do I make CB Subs my membership program if nothing else (that I know of) integrates with CB Subs at that level.

For the last five years, that trio of programs I mentioned has provided me with a sometimes frustrating but solid way to do what I need for my clients. If I have to change my events package(s) then I may have to change my membership component also which means I won't be able to use CB Subs. This would be a huge blow to me.

All I'm asking is recommendation(s) to a solution if my events packages can't be used going forward. You have an obviously highly-placed listening platform for this type of thing and I'm sure it's come up before.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Mark

Krileon,

Thank you so much for this information. Some things here I didn't consider and will now. Appreciate the comprehensive response!

One thing you should consider (if you ever get around to the events module) is to have a way to generate certificates for attendees to the events. While a lot of events are just dinners, or entertaining speakers some have professional implications and those attendees need "proof" they attended the seminar or training session, etc. DT Register has been around forever and I have asked and asked for a simple way to generate certs. No joy. Matukio, however, has that baked in and it's always on a list to think about migrating to eventually. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks again!
Mark
