Community events

[Marjet]

Hi,

I can not get the contributor to only add to the community events.
It also keeps on having all other rights even though I said this not to with the User Rol editor plugin.
I have got the Theevencalender plugin and the Woocommerce addon and the Community events plugin.

Hope you can help me with this.

grtz,
Marjet

Hi Marjet,

In simple terms, do you wish to let contributors interact with Community Events (via the frontend of the site) but ban them from any admin environment interactions?

If so, might the block users from dashboard setting found in Events → Settings → Community help?

If not and you are determined to continue with the user role editor approach, might it be the case that you aren’t seeing any changes because you are using an existing user account? What if you create a new user in the contributor-role – do you see the changes then?

Hi Barry,

Thanks for your reply.
Even if I block them and only have one role to be able to add an event, still the other ones are able to make an event.

So a ‘gratis lid’ can also add an event. Which should not be possible. Do you know where something goes wrong?

grtz,
Marjet

Hi Marjet,

To clarify, that setting blocks those roles from the admin environment (ie, the WordPress dashboard) but they should all still be able to create events via the Community Events submission form.

If that is indeed what you are experiencing, it is the expected behaviour 🙂

I can not get the contributor to only add to the community events.

I may have misunderstood.

Did you mean that you only wish contributors to be able to submit events via the Community Events submission form? If that’s the case, I’m afraid it is not directly supported.

However, you could add some custom code that runs before that page loads and either displays an alternative message or redirects the user someplace else (if they are not a contributor).

Ok, thanks for this reply.
I indeed thought that was the feature, maybe a nice future feature?

I will try it with CSS than, to make sure that they will not be able to click on this link.

thanks,
Marjet

Definitely feel free to propose this as a new feature over on our UserVoice page – that way, others can comment on and upvote the idea 🙂

Thanks also for marking this as resolved, I will go ahead and close it out – of course, please don’t hesitate to create new forum topics if you have any further questions!
