Community Events-Allow Anonymous Submissions

[Ben]

Could you clarify how Community Events is supposed to work with Allow Anonymous Submissions enabled? Once a community event is entered (without being logged in), the user would naturally want to check his/her entry by using the List function. However, when List is invoked, it requires the user to log in! I’m not clear on the use model here–how do you envision this working?

Hi Gene.

Thanks for your candid question.

Anonymous submissions is just that, submissions only, as you have described.

If the user of your site wants to submit an event and then also see all the events they created or even edit an event they previously submitted, they would have to initially submit the event while logged in (so the Community Events plugin can attribute them as the post author).

I hope this clears it up for you. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions on this topic.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
