Community feature

[Marius Toma]

Hi,

I would like to create some virtual events (actually virtual meetings) using Events Calendar with some community feature in place. A virtual meeting takes place for 2 weeks, and users should be able to interact inside this event.

Users attending these events should be able to
– comment (like forum style), eventually on forum type
– upload and download files
– eventually vote feature
– admin should select individual WP users to attend the meeting (not only WP groups)

I looked at the events pro widgets, but I am not sure if we will be able to build these features.

Can you please indicate if / how we can integrate these kind of features? Can we integrate a kind of forum feature inside on calendar?

We do have WP development skills, but we are not sure how easy would be to integrate such features.

thanks

Marius

Hi Marius and happy Friday.

Sounds like you’re working on a pretty cool project!

Kind of a good news, bad news thing here. The good news is that you do not need to purchase any premium products to get the core calendar functionality you’re looking for. The Events Calendar will set you up perfectly for managing events without the need for any of our other products.

The bad news is that none of our products will really add that interactive layer you’re looking for. However, events are already capable of enabling comments so that would be covered.

Also, there are other third-party plugins that could help with the other features. For example, this one might work nicely for voting.

The calendar’s template files are also extremely flexible and can be modified in any way you would like for adding other features or integrating other functionality. I’d suggest checkout out our Themer’s Guide for a full overview of what is possible.

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

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!
