I can't recommend this product highly enough! It worked immediately after following a few simple steps that were clearly explained in the on-line tutorial videos. I was very pleasantly surprised by how easily everything went, but I was absolutely blown away by the extraordinary support. They responded almost immediately to every single request for information and even helped me out with some problems on my site that had nothing to do with DT Register!
I was using a shopping cart to collect payments for online registration of events. This is the perfect solution and the support is better than any I have ever experienced with any software vendor on any platform! These guys are exceptional and so is the product!
Thank you for a great job!

Pros:
The only extension that comes close serving this purpose, as far as I know.
Cons:
App is beta at best. Every patch breaks something. If it weren't for the fact that there was a critical bug in the previous version, i would never upgrade.

1) Yes, this is the best option for event registration for Joomla
2) We are not a one-man show and are not rude to our users. The interesting fact here is that we do not recognize this user at all. This user is not in our system so I'm doubtful that this is even a legitimate review.
3) Our application works perfectly for almost all users. Occasionally there are of course issues with various systems. When those arise, we deal with them. You can see by the other reviews here that not only does DT Register work, but that we stand behind it.
I can't rate this high enough. It did exactly what it stated it does. It was incredibly easy to install and works like a charm. The support is top rate also. I emailed them with a question at 9:30pm EST and they responded with in minutes!
Also note, it comes with a hack to add a "register for this event" link to all your events in JEvent which is a great feature!

A client of mine bought this over a week ago to set up registrations for a large conference.. It does not do what it advertises nor is the developer helpful at all.
it does not send out emails when someone registers for an event
it does not record information into the DB
and the custom fields are very limiting..
this is basically beta software being sold for $50
if i were you i wouldnt waste your money. use chronoforms if you need a form to connect to Authorise.net

Wow... that's all I have to say. Nevermind the 100s of people that use DT Register successfully on their sites. The component is in continuous development, always making improvements. IF someone has a problem, it is usually due to user error. Otherwise, usually due to their server configuration. Regardless, we always help everyone and get any issues resolved. Some people just have no patience in the process. Hopefully as you read this you can see all of the reviews below that show not only that DT Register DOES work as advertised, but that we provide support when needed.
I had a real quick project - 1 week production time - where a client wanted a website to sell her tours of San Francisco's Union Square shopping District. I needed a online registration product and DT register was a perfect fit!
The usage of the JEvents calendar and DT Register allows my customer to show all her events and clients can register as a group or as individuals.
The only problem I had was that they wanted to show all events for the next year and a half. Originally I thought I could just use the JEvents repeating event feature, but DT register needs single events so I devised a couple of excel spreadsheets that would calculate all the events, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun and then imported them directly into the MySQL database. Therefore a bulk event upload feature in the component UI might be nice.
All things said it was a perfect fit at a very reasonable price.

This is a great addition for Joomla - especially since there doesn't seem to be any other easy way to take payments for registrations! This solved a lot of needs for me - and while the installation was easy what issues I did have with the various installations I've done due to server configuration problems were QUICKLY handled by the support team at dthdevelopment.com! Just to have someone actually support a product so well is worth every penny!!
I've been waiting a long time for a component that does what this one does. The support is A+++++. The development team was very responsive to all my questions and needs. It's so great to know that they are 100% behind their product. I can't thank them enough. Keep up the great job!
DT Reg is a great app. It has room for improvement, and it had quite a few bugs, but, the team walked me through how to handle most things. Also, there are needs for customizations, but, these, you must get your own team to do, because DT Reg will most likely not be able to handle them; that is understood, because not every client of theirs will have the same needs. Overall, had a good experience with DT Reg, and I would recommend it to others that have knowledge of and experience with Web development (for people that don't, this is not a good option).

The bugs this user was dealing with had already been dealt with in a patch we had made available. They had not implemented this patch. We did it for them and the issues were all fixed.
We CAN handle customizations and will take on those projects unless we do not have the time available to do so. We are constantly making improvements and adding new features to DT Register.
DT Register will work out of the box generally and has functionality that no other Joomla component offers. Saying you have to be a web developer to use it is completely ridiculous. Our in depth video tutorials walk you through the whole process of using the component and if you run into a problem, WE will fix it for you! :)
The extension is just what i was looking for and from other feedback i had no problem pulling my wallet out for this one.
I made a stupid mistake and couldn't get it to run at first ... dthdevelopment not only offered advice but also directly accessed the component to test it and confirm my first thoughts. I should have watched the video tutorial.
Keep in mind that the drop down menu that appears when clicking on 'registration management' does not contain your events. You need to click 'NEW'before your events will apear.

As somoeone who works in Joomla on a daily basis and who handles multiple components there are two things I appreciate -- components that work as advertised and developers who respond when there are problems. You get both with this one. It does just what it is supposed to do -- take reservations for events and store the records for export later. The ability to set custom fields and capture all kinds of information makes this a killer app, IMHO. And when I had a couple of minor problems, the guys at DTH were very responsive in helping me get them ironed out. Couldn't ask for better customer service. I'd recommend this to anyone.
I have used several other components and I am glad I found this. It works very good and support is great. You can even create custom form fields to collect additional information. You can also setup member discounts that will automatically apply to users when they are logged in.
Very easy to install and configure to use with authorize.net and PayPal. Thanks again for this excellent component.

DT Register is an excellent software product that allows you to manage your events very efficiently. The joomla interface is easy to understand and on the DT Register website you find good tutorials.
If you have further questions, you can also directly contact the software developer. My questions have been answered within minutes!
Highly recommended.

We chose DT Register because our client needed the Authorize.net gateway. But we're sticking with it - installing it on a second client site because of the support. The developers were fantastic at responding to e-mail inquiries - and even fixed and sent us new patched files to solve our particular issues!
If you need Authorize.net or PayPal for registration of events, DT Register is a great option.
We've demoed and used other registration components for Joomla, but for this particular client, DT Register was the perfect fit.

I was very surprised at the quality and response level of the support provide by the folks at DTH Development.
We ran into a compatibly scenario involving our configuration that prevented the proper use of DT Register for our project. Within a couple days after leaving a post on the support forum and a couple emails we had the DT Register solution installed and running perfectly. The bonus came when we actually got to use the component and it met our needs.
Well worth the money if you need to have a paid events scheduling scenario and would also like a calendar for users to work from.
Hats off to DTH Development and the JEvents folks too, great solution. Thanks Nathan.

All I can say is that it is always a pleasure when youbuy something and it works just as it says. This component is well-worth the money. You do need the JEvents calendar component installed for the whole system to work. The process is 1) input an event into the calendar, 2) you go into DT Register to mark the event as one users can register for and the details. Users register, pay for registration, you get an email, they get an email, you can email all registrants, etc. A lot of thought went into this component. I installed it for a client who has manay community events held at their location and they are very happy with it. I am too.
