byjoomlancingweb on October 27, 2010We all look at these reviews to decide whether to put our money into commercial joomla products. Well, you've come to the right extension if you are seeking an event booking system to receive payments from registration. It's worth the small investment.
I recently had the developer, Tuan, customize the component to add a DEPOSIT functionality. I believe they might be including that in the next upcoming version. This way we can receive a percentage or set amount by paypal, then "at the door" receive the remaining payment. Works perfect for workshop, retreat, class registration.
Like all things, some extensions might have the occasional bug, but you don't have to worry about your concern or issue going unanswered. Tuan has always responded to my questions in the forum with a solution.
So, not only are you getting an excellent product that does what it actually promises, you also will get reliable customer/technical support in any case you need help, additional customization. Ossolution also listens to you. If you have feature requests they actually incorporate the useful ones.
Excellent product. Affordable pricing. Reliable service.
Stop searching for other event booking systems, you've found the right one already.
Thanks Tuan! - Tam :)byalpinevp on October 26, 2010Best In It's Class!!! This is the extension you MUST have for all of your event registration needs. There is little that this component can't do and what id doesn't, Tuan will make it so. My client needed a certain function that wasn't available and Tuan just indicated that the request would be handled quickly. In no time, Tuan was able to add the functionality my client needed and he is very happy. Tuan is in a small class of excellent and responsive Joomla developers that create great product for the community at a very reasonable price and provides immediate customer service! 10 stars!!!bykupkake832 on October 25, 2010I have never left a review before but I had anissue and the developer fixed it for me on the spot in very timely way.

monibyStarTechMG on October 11, 2010This is an awesome extension that enable me to deliver exactly what the client wanted. One of the best extension I've used in a long time. The registration process is seemless and intuitive for users. Great work guys!bythomasmes on October 10, 2010One of the best extensions for Joomla without doubt. It is easy to use, offers lots of functionality, the code is written well, support is very good and has a very good value for money. This extension has a calendar view option, which you won't find in other event booking extensions.bybbihun12 on October 7, 2010Wow!!!!! It's not very often that you get great extension and a great support. Developer is always easily accessible via Skype and always responds within seconds. Very easy to use and the perfect solution for my application. Can't wait for new features.byjompoint on October 5, 2010No doubts, this is an excellent Event Booking component for Joomla! Easy to configure, easy to customize and everything works as expected.
Even the design that goes with the component is great! Still though, if you need to change the look and feel of it, it is very easy to customize.
We are really satisfied with this purchase! It supports both free and paid events, the administrative part of the component is well organized so you can change settings with ease.
Lots of useful features and as we understand from Tuan, they are planning even more.
The technical support is awesome! We needed a specific and urgent functionality to be implemented and Tuan was really supportive in this matter.
Thank you for the great extension! Keep up the good workbyalexwalker on October 3, 2010I was looking for a component to enable me to allow users to register either individually or as a Team for a mountain marathon. Events Booking was the excellent solution to this project. Not only does it allow the user to register and pay for the event but it also links their registration to their Community Builder or Jom Social Profile. How cool is that ! Tuan has been very attentive in providing quick solutions and accepting suggestions for improvements/development of the component, which is what the Joomla community is all about. For the £18 donation I made towards this component, it was well worth the money. I have no hesitaton in recommending this component fo anyone wanting to set up an Events Registration web site. :)bycinephotorooms on October 2, 2010from fantastic guy named Tuan. He provides you with fully working, highly polished components/products and Event Booking is great example of brilliant piece of work he puts into your business or social project. One of the best value for money products in its category. If you are looking for on-line booking system for a photography business or filmmakers events attendance list - you found what you need. Communication with Tuan, who supports you throughout the process of installation and configuration is on excellent level. You get access to mildly busy Forum with all the information you need to improve your extension. You receive updates with not only fixes but improvements! Every month you expect at least one new great feature for your product. And whats the best in this? You receive improvements tailored for your need for Free for Life.byeliaspaes on September 28, 2010Excellent component, does exactly what it says. Great customer support. Highly recommend!byranji on September 28, 2010I have been looking around for a component which will setup a event and also accepts Online Booking for that event...Tried JEvents, EventList etc nothing matched my needs...Here comes Event Booking. In the earlier stage was skeptical to buy it but after talking to Tuan I decided to buy it and after purchasing it found I had some custom changes....Tuan was happy to help me with it and there you go I am live OVERNITE....
Great support from Tuan...
Looking forward for this component to come out with more features in the next version...Have already provided the feedback to Tuan...bypmkdk on September 27, 2010This is, by no doubt, the best product/component that I've ever installed on a joomla site.
The componenet is amazing, and is by far the best componenet for a event/booking system - and believe me, I've tried ALL of them.
The support is amazingly fast. They reply right away, and always ready to help with your specific needs. I had some specific complex requirements (in addition to the standard features) and they worked it out withing 24 hours!
It's so flexible, and it gives you EVERYthing you need in order to have an event, calender and a booking system. Its a 100% allround which makes the work extremly easy for you.
The best part is, that this product is so cheap, and you can install it on all the joomla installations you need.
- Great componenet, which will fill all your needs
- Great support and service, very fast communication
- Amazingly cheap
This is the best joomla-purchase i've ever made.bykokujin on September 25, 2010Very HAPPY CUSTOMER!!!
I asked my client to buy this extension as it looked very promising from the reviews here and from the demo site.
While I was started working on the site, I had some issues come up with this component. I immediately got on the joomdonation forum where I could find the developers ( Tuan ) Skype ID.
I got on Skype and I was so lucky that Tuan was online as well. He immediately sent me the updated files and all my questions and troubles were sorted out instantly!!
I can't Thank Tuan enough, this is what I call first class customer service and I will in no doubt be recommending Joomla Extensions from JOOMDONATION.
Tuan Thank you so much again!
You've just earned a client for life!
Vincent / FIJINETbymschwaner on September 24, 2010I am so grateful to Ossolution for this marvelous component. And more particularly, I am incredibly impressed with the support I received. Thank you so much for helping me be a hero to my staff by making this event booking component available on our site. Mary in Nebraska.byAllyson9 on September 23, 2010Really easy to use and great support from Tuan. Plus it looks good!bymadis on September 22, 2010As many others, I find both - the product and customer support just BRILLIANT! Because of some design requirements from my client, they didn't match initially but Tuan had it sorted in no time!
Thanks Tuan and Ossolution Team!byoutbackbrent on September 16, 2010I have conducted about 100 seminars in Australia and use to used my own custom forms to accept the online booking. I wish I had of know about this extension at that time. I now have the need to run seminars and have sought a more simple and professional online booking function.
I bought the extension, installed it with no problem. After all It is basically automatic.............then when I went to test it out, I experienced an error ( to do with the success page after form is submitted). I was not worried, because I could tell by by the overall design and with the experience of conducting live events, that the designer was logical and diligent in the way he had designed this package. I knew he would find out what the issue was, and he did. It was a small matter to do with my own local server which I had been experiencing problems with over the past few weeks. Tuan, compensated by by making some modifications and all was well. He was online and available via Skype. He got the problem sorted and we had a laugh in the process. I buy lot of extensions for many different sites and I feel grateful I have had the honor of meeting another programmer who is a total professional. In today's world where everyone is in rush to make a buck, it becomes increasingly harder to find good service so when you find a 'Diamond' you better look after it. Thanks 'Tuan' for first class service and may you continue to receive the success you deserve. Brent Butcher - Get Support
