Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

here is the greatest and best caption in the world, a tribute to Event Espresso ticketing mobile apps for android and iOS.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

The Front-end Event Manager add-on is only available as a Pre-release download.
Event Espresso 3.1.29 or newer is required.

The Front-end Event Manager add-on is a tool to allow users to create basic events from the front end of the site, so they do not need to be given specific roles and permissions or visit the dashboard of the site.

The users still need to be registered and logged in to use the Front End Manager so it is still advised to use a system like S2Member or other content restriction plugins to limit who can and cannot use the front end posting service, otherwise, you may get a lot of spam events.

Usage

It is really easy to set up. First of all install and activate the add on plugin as you would with any other plugin.

Then create a basic WordPress page and add the following shortcode:

[ESPRESSO_CREATE_EVENT_FORM]

On viewing the this page you will now see a form allowing you to create events. Most of the functionality of the dashboard event editor is shown in the front end, though certain aspects have been restricted for ease and security.

You are allowed to create:

  • Event Title
  • Registration Limit – number of tickets or spaces available
  • Description (includes a text editor and ability to add images)
  • Event and registration dates and times – as per normal these are required, defaults will be used if they are not filled in
  • Pricing – Standard Pricing only, no Member pricing
  • Categories – you can only select pre-created categories, not create new ones
  • Venues – creates a single venue – if the venue manager is turned off, any valid venue added here will be created and saved to the database but not used
