Community Events status/settings

[clarity]

So, we have our site pretty much up and running. We are running through the testing phase and there are things that just are not working. I need some help.

1) When a new user registers and logs in, they see 3 settings in the left bar in WP admin… Dashboard, Events and Profile. Can we hide Dashboard?

2) When the user clicks “Events”, they see all events. They can View events, and they can Duplicate events. Why? As soon as a user duplicates an event, it goes live and they cannot delete it or edit it. What is the purpose of this and how can we turn that off?

3) How can we delete sections from the “New Event” form that users see? i.e. We don’t want users to see the “RSVP section” of the form. We don’t want people to see “Additional Functionality” and click the Modern Tribes add-on link. How can we control that?

4) Can we control which “Boxes” in WP come up for the user to see, like “Event Options”?

Thanks…

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can help out here.

1) When a new user registers and logs in, they see 3 settings in the left bar in WP admin… Dashboard, Events and Profile. Can we hide Dashboard?

You can block off the admin using our access settings here:

If you would like to give them access to the admin and customize what they can and cannot see you can try a plugin like Adminimize:

Adminimize

Or you can make them the lowest role of subscriber, which I would recommend too. The role does not matter for community events to work.

2) When the user clicks “Events”, they see all events. They can View events, and they can Duplicate events. Why? As soon as a user duplicates an event, it goes live and they cannot delete it or edit it. What is the purpose of this and how can we turn that off?

The answer is the same as above. Community Events is intended to run all from the front end so I would just disable backend access.

Also, we do not have a duplicate feature so that is coming from another plugin or coding.

3) How can we delete sections from the “New Event” form that users see? i.e. We don’t want users to see the “RSVP section” of the form. We don’t want people to see “Additional Functionality” and click the Modern Tribes add-on link. How can we control that?

Same as above. You can use the Adminimize plugin to change access.

4) Can we control which “Boxes” in WP come up for the user to see, like “Event Options”?

They should all be on the front end to create events, there is no way to hide the RSVP section in the backend with our default features. It might be done with a customization, but that is beyond the support we can provide for the most part.

I would encourage you to go over the New User Primer for Community Events to see how it all works:

New User Primer: Community Events

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Thanks for the help. I think there was some confusion on question #3:

3) How can we delete sections from the “New Event” form that users see? i.e. We don’t want users to see the “RSVP section” of the form. We don’t want people to see “Additional Functionality” and click the Modern Tribes add-on link. How can we control that?

We are talking about the Add Event form here… we want to remove some sections from the form when a user is filling it out.

I am not sure if you are talking about the admin or the front end of the site.

For the front end here:

avindustrycalendar.com/events/community/add/

To make changes to the fields showing on the front end of Community Events we have our themer’s guide:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

That will show you how to move and edit templates in your theme to protect against updates.
