Create events by external web form

[Stefan]

Hi,

our event manager needs an easy tool to show up new events in our event calendar.

He needs only to set following parameters:
– Date
– Topic
– Description

Everything else stays the same.

Is it possible and how is it possible (is there a Howto tutorial) to set up a web form, which I can put on a normal page without any wordpress login, where he can enter easily the new events?

The other thing would be, is there also a posibility to edit events outside of the wordpress plugin (inside of the dashboard), also on a external site or just a posibility to overwrite existing events?

Thanks for your time, I appreciate it!

Stef

Hey Stef,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

Is it correct to assume that you’re not wanting to give the single event manager access to the WordPress dashboard in order to create the events? If not, you can use our Community Events plugin where they can easily submit that information via a front-end form. There would be other options as well, such as Gravity Forms, where you could create a form that creates the new post of the “tribe_events” post type along with the associated meta, however that will take some setting up.

I’m not sure I follow exactly what you’re looking for with the outside source option, however it sounds like this may be something that our iCal importer might be able to help with. If you’re able to generate an iCal feed or a .ics file from that other source, you could use a recurring import to bring those events into your calendar on your site.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot, I was checking all your solutions and bought now the iCal importer + the Facebook importer. I just have still some bugs there, but for this I created a new ticket.

Hey Stefan,

Sounds good! Happy to help.

I’ll go ahead and close this thread for now. We look forward to serving you in those other threads.
