Community Add On Questions

[jameswemyss]

I have recently purchased the community add on to go with the filter and pro licences I have, and have a few questions around its functionality-
1. We currently have around 4,000 events. We purchased the community add-on as we want the event promoters to start to manage their own events, organisers and venues details themselves. How can we assign current entries to a registered user so it appears in their community dashboard for them to start to control?
2. It is great that a contributor can also add Venue and Organiser details. However on our site we always add a photo for both (as this is part of the usual admin form). As it works now, we would have to contact each contributor and ask for a photo or graphic for both organizer and venue. As this takes more time than how we currently do it now, can we make it so that they can upload their own image as per the standard admin form?
3. We would like to “manage” the page that the dashboard shows on, as we would like to add instructions as to how information should be entered and the process (as per your demo). I can see the shortcode but as we use friendly permalinks I am unable to see how we can work on this page?

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can help answer your questions.

See the answers below:

1. We currently have around 4,000 events. We purchased the community add-on as we want the event promoters to start to manage their own events, organisers and venues details themselves. How can we assign current entries to a registered user so it appears in their community dashboard for them to start to control?

You can assign events to your contributors if they are a author role in WordPress. That is a limitation of WordPress. To get started you could make them authors, then assign the events to them, then change them back to a lower role if you have to.

2. It is great that a contributor can also add Venue and Organiser details. However on our site we always add a photo for both (as this is part of the usual admin form). As it works now, we would have to contact each contributor and ask for a photo or graphic for both organizer and venue. As this takes more time than how we currently do it now, can we make it so that they can upload their own image as per the standard admin form?

That is an interesting feature, but we do not have a feature to help with that, if you think that is something you would like as a feature I encourage you to visit our User Voice Page and either upvote an existing request or make a new request there.

To make edits to the community events template we have the themer’s guide to move and edit templates in your child theme.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks
