About Verowa Connect
From the official readme · v3.5.0Description
Verowa is a swiss management software for churches and parishes. Verowa connects your team, manages your rooms and equipment, helps to plan events like church services or meetings and organizes your ads, office weeks and much more. Verowa keeps you informed of subsequent changes and also keeps your webpage content up to date with this plugin.
This WordPress plugin is connecting with the Verowa API. To use it on your WordPress project you need to obtain an instance of Verowa and an API key. Please visit the Verowa website (in german) and contact us to get started.
Subscriptions
With Verowa Connect visitors of your website can subscribe to certain events. The number of seats can be limited and Verowa can provide a waiting list automatically if needed. Subscription forms may contain a large variety of input fields. The visitor’s data will be sent directly to Verowa where you can view and edit each individual subscription. (These options require the Verowa subscription module.)
Room Reservations
Verowa Connect can display complex room reservation forms, so your visitors can apply for rooms, devices and services. Verowa automatically sends confirmation mails and shows the data in a neat overview for you to check. Once approved one click changes the form data to a Verowa event. (These options require the Verowa room reservation module.)
Installation
- Install the plugin from the plugin repository and activate it.
- For the plugin to be able to fetch your Verowa data you need to set the id of your Verowa instance (e.g. “my-parish”) and the API key in the Verowa options panel (e.g. “6ba4ceea235de07b258044a0cb3804d2”).
- If you have Automatic Updates enabled you can sit back an relax. Verowa Connect will update itself when a new version is available.
- You have to create a new page with the shortcode
[verowa_agenda]in order to show the agenda in your web project. - You can show a list of specific events with the shortcode
[verowa_event_list]. With the attributesid,layer_idortarget_groupyou can limit the events shown to specific events or lists. With the attributemaxyou can set the max amount of events shown. The attributemax_dayslimits how far in advance the events are listed. For further information on these and other shortcodes and attributes please visit the Verowa Connect documentation (in german). - After installing you need to make sure you have a default template for the persondetails, personlists, eventdetails and eventlists selected. You can select them under Settings > Verowa Options.
Subscription Installation
- For the registration process to work properly you need to set up three pages. On the first page you add the shortcode
[verowa_subscription_form]to display a list of events.
On the second page you add the shortcode[verowa_subscription_confirmation]to instruct your subscribers to click on the confirmation link after they have sent the form.
On the third page you add the shortcode[verowa_subscription_validation]. This page shows a confirmation message to the users after they have validated their subscription through the confirmation link. - Enter the reCaptcha public / secret key under Settings > Verowa Subscriptions. Here you can also configure the info displayed in the form.
Frequently asked questions
How can I style the event list according to my wishes?
The Verowa templates are very powerful and act like a serial letter: Just enter your desired HTML code and include the provided placeholders like TITLE, LOCATION or DATE_FROM_LONG. For the complete list of placeholders visit the Verowa Connect documentation (in german).
Does Verowa Connect run without a Verowa license?
No. Consider this plugin as a connection between WordPress and Verowa. It stores the data in a couple of custom tables in the WP database to run even if the Verowa server is down. However all data is imported from Verowa or the webforms and cannot be typed in manually in some backend.
Subscriptions: Can I filter the listed events?
Yes. The easiest way to show only certain events is to make a list in Verowa and add the list’s ID as an attribute to your shortcode (e.g. [verowa_subscriptions_form id=34]).
I have a problem, who should I contact?
