Platform 2.0 Status

What is Platform 2.0?
What is the Status of the Platform 2.0 Development?
When do you expect it to be fully functioning?

What is Platform 2.0?
It is an exciting new approach to registration built from the ground up with the end user in mind. There are three main enhancements to Platform 2.0
  • Single Page, Selection Based Registration Page: No more moving through multiple pages to complete your information. By using aJax technology, pages expand and contract based on selections. The entire registration form is a single page. Housing is on it's own page and then payment is a separate page. That's it. Three pages for collecting all of that information.
  • User Defined Login: In recognizing that people hate to have to create multiple logins for different sites, we offer the flexibity of using your preferred method. (Facebook, gMail, LinkedIn, Email Only, Proprietary, etc.)
  • Responsive Web Design: The site works fine and looks great on whatever device you are on - desktop, notebook, tablet or even your mobile phone. We are using HTML5 and CSS3 as the means to accomplish that end.
If you want to take a test drive and see how it looks, go to our test site. (Until the official release you may catch us in a testing phase where something might not work perfect, but don't worry, it will be fixed by the time we go live.)

Additional Notes:

^ Items from Phase Two - "Funding Pending" will be moved to the top as funding becomes available.  For a more detailed explanation of how to get new items into EventCORE, view this answer.

If you want to view a "test site" that has all of the available features turned on, go to: http://www.chloedog.org?12

*Notes for starred items:

The Class/Verifications module is going to be totally reworked to allow for an "Event within an Event." It will enable you to set up completely separate conferences within a conference so that everything from menu items, registration types, to questionnaires can be turned on and off based on a verification code. This will enable you to create different registration systems for the end user, but track it all centrally as the administrator.

Family and Couple Registrations will allow you to check a box at the beginning of the registration process that will open up new screens that will enable you to create a family registration on the fly. On the admin side they will still be treated as separate attendees, but to the end user, he only has to enter in address and other information once.

Pre-Populate Fields: After entering your email address for a new registration, the system will go out to previous entries to fill in standard data. If you're logged in, it will do this automatically. If you're not logged in, it will send a validation code to your email address and you'll be asked to validate. The building of the pre-populating will begin with the poplog profile (if used) and then add the most recent data until the field set is completely built.
