Community events – Is this right for us?

[Ash]

Hi,

We have a site in which we are looking to add a calendar in which 3 people have access to posting events. It is vital that once an event has been posted, nobody but the organizer can edit this.

We would need a login function for each user to ensure that they don’t have access to the wordpress dashboard. They only need access to the calendar.

Can the Community Events add on provide these functions?

If so do you have any tips for the easiest way to set this up?

Many thanks.

Ash

Hi Ash,

Thanks for checking out our plugins!

Community Events will allow users to create events from the front end of the site, without having access to your Dashboard. It allows you to choose whether or not users need to be logged in to do this, so you have the ability to provision accounts only for these three users.

When they create events, they will have the ability to edit their own events (provided you have enabled this in the settings), but the events submitted by the other two users. However, you will have the ability as an administrator to go in and edit the events from all three accounts.

Based on what you described, it sounds like Community Events works the way you’re looking for out of the box, but I would recommend taking a look at this article as well for more details on some of the settings I mentioned. We do offer full refunds within 30 days of purchase if you’re not satisfied with the products, so feel free to give Community Events a test run! If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

Jennifer

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!
