A report I promised and one you shall have.
The events plugin was very useful and fit the bill perfectly for the site that I had. I went ahead and built the site in Expression Engine (way more familiar with that than WP) and linked to single entries using a lightboxed iFrame. Worked well. There were about 160 events so I uploaded them in one go, using the provided Excel template.
Minuses
—Strange things happened with the Excel import as a result of the wp install not being in the root.
—Email confirmations were glitchy when there was high activity on the booking (a few hundred bookings in a day) so I switched it off as it wasn't 100% necessary for my needs.Pluses
—Easy for me to do, a single install/instruction page explained the lot. A more experienced programmer (particularly in PHP) would find it a piece of cake I think.
