I have only just started using this extension, but its ease of installation and obvious ability to cater for most registration scenarios means I will be spending a little time with this tool for our website.
There is only one small bug, but it is so insignificant I just couldn't bring myself to reduce the star rating for this tool.
Great job !!!

I am pleased to review this extension. Event Booking is easy to install and use and provides most of the functions required for managing events. The extension seems to have a team behind it who are continuously developing the project. Users views are taken very seriously. There is a very active forum and perhaps best of all, is the VERY fast response to users problems by Tuan, the main developer. it semms as though nothing is too much trouble for them.
This is a paid for extension, but the modest cost together with the excellent support makes this very good value.

I have had a few installation issues in the past because of my older version of Joomla & server configuration, but the support team at JoomDonation was TOP NOTCH! They got back to me right away with fast, personalized service. These guys are experts. The Events Booking Extension is a GREAT piece of software... and we have really enjoyed using it. Highly reccomended!
I have tried a number of different calendar and event registration components for Joomla but I have found Event Booking to be the easiest to setup, most stable to run and most flexible to customise for my requirements.
It's very intuitive to setup, very full featured and new functionality is being added all the time.
When I've had any problems or needed assistance, Tuan has always been available to bring about a resolution very quickly for me. He has also undertaken some custom development at a very reasonable price, given the amount of work which was required.
An excellent product at an incredibly low price, keep up the good work!

The people behind the component aren't fair. They told me to update a new release with a feature within 3 weeks. Now after 7 weeks they told me this feature will not be in only if I pay them some money..
So don't believe what they say!

Owner's reply
This user (he is not my customers) sent me an email sometime ago ask me to add a feature into Event Booking : Display list of registrants on event detail page. At that time, I thought it is useful, so I promised him I will implement it in future releases !
However, after spending more time to think about it, I found that this feature is NOT NECESSARY because It is AVAILABLE in the extension already but it is implemented in a different way: Customers can click on View List link which is displayed next to number of registrants to view registrants of an event.
I said sorry to Wilbert and explained the reasons I don't implement he asked into the extension. Please aslo that I didn't ask him to pay me his money to get this feature into the extension. I suggested him :
- Try to find a different extension to see whether it meets he need.
- If he wants to use my extension and want to have the feature implemented in the way he wants, we are available to customize it for him with a small fee (40$).
Wilbert refused my suggestions. He gave me this bad rating and review just because I don't implement a feature which is ONLY NEEDED BY HIMSELF. He also threatened to ask other Joomla users he knows to move away from using our products. This is an un-acceptable behavior and I believe "unfair people" which he mentioned here is himself, not us !
To all other customers: You can always suggest the features you want in our Features wishlish forum. I always listen to your suggestions, implement the features which I think is useful can can be used by other customers. That's one of the reason make my extension better from time to time. However, when you want a specific feature which only needed by yourself, not useful for my other customers, I am available to customize it for you to meet your need perfectly. But you will need to pay for our work in this case (usually small fee). That's fair for both of us !
There is something to be said for a developer that will actually support their product after it has been released. This product stands way above any other I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The ease of use is amazing, the flexibility already built into the system makes the event booking application applicable to almost any integration. And if I didn't already mention A+ top notch support if any problems do arise!
Level of support received: top notch, even when the dumb questions came from a rank amateur using Joomla. Helpful and accurate.
I found one bug. It was fixed overnight. I do not want to exaggerate, but our cycle club paid over 200 times more for an IT-consultant to provide us with an event booking function for a cycle race we were arranging. This extension will do what we wanted, AND do everything else we need when it comes to keeping track of events (booking winter spinning passes, training rounds, meetings).
It is a dream to use. Everything is very intuitive. If you know what you want to do, when you want to do it, where you want to do it ... then just fill in the blanks.
I cannot recommend this too highly.
This is my first Joomla site. I've integrated our web-site with phpBB3 via JFusion. I'm learning Joomla, I'm not expert, but I am one happy trooper as a user.
You can't lose. Get it!

The extension is very good but why I give this 5 stars is because of the support. The developer gives great support and helps out with any issues that may occur configuring the extensions. Definitely recommend event booking to anyone who is looking for a similar extension. Class extension and Awesome Support!!
This is the only modul that fits to our needs. The Support from Tuan is outstanding, he even customized it for us in no time and for very little money. The Software itself is already very complex and has a lot of oppertunities, I'm exited how it will grow in the future. OSolutions has all my sympathies, working with them is absoluteley great.
I've used many Joomla components on my site, but this is the first time I've felt compelled to leave feedback. This component does everything that it says it will do and even more importantly for me, the support is TERRIFIC! Tuan helped me to find where "I" messed up as well as pointed me directly to the places in the php to make minor customizations. I highly recommend this versatile event booking application.
This extension worked well immediately. Very flexible and good back-end interface.But what was even more impressive was the excellent and quick technical support. Submit a ticket and their response is fast. I haven't experienced a better support experience for any other Joomla extension. And did I mention the extremely reasonable price for this extension? A winner all the way around.
I needed a booking system for my Taekwondo club www.northantstkd.com which uses joomla 1.5. I located this and installed it and within a few minutes it was basically functioning and within an hour, completely tailored to the site. It's reliable, simple to use, effective and seriously good value. If you need a booking system for Joomla, look no further!!
I stumbled upon this affordable extension while working with a client who wanted to do workshops. The amount of detail this extension has, the ability to customize almost everything including the text that appears, stunned me. I know it takes a lot to build a system that can handle events, booking them, and even paying for them.
This extension does everything that is requested, and even though I ran into a small problem, it was sorted out and even fixed directly on my site. I was hesitant because I have paid for extensions before that have not lived up to everything as advertised, but this has done more than live up to it's name. It's made me a willing convert to commercial applications in Joomla!
Thank you so much Than! You, are a star!

I must say this is the best event booking component available. Its worth the money. I am using it for event booking for online SAP course website and its perfect.
Advance features like, early bird discount, group registration and group discount, integration with 3rd party components like community builder are some of the awesome features this component provides. The component is very easy to use and have tips just in front of the feature which makes using the component very easy. You do not have to read 100s of pages of document to get started. All in all excellent component with good user interface.
