Events Calendar event info only for admins

[JA]

Hello,

I’m trying to find an online replacement for our workflow. We host events and use an online form to capture the event, then output to an online calendar. Then we add additional information for ourselves on an Outlook calendar. I would like to use an entirely online method where the event has additional fields that only admins can see/edit for each event submitted (such as seating, food requirements, etc…).
Is this possible with The Events Calendar/Pro and Community Events?

Thank you

Hi,

Thanks for the interest in our plugins. I can try to help out.

We can get you close to what you are looking for, but do not have features built in to only show fields for admins.

You could easily wrap sections of the event information with the current_user_can WordPress function to show what you would like only to admins.

And all the event templates you can move to your theme to edit with that function and not lose the changes on updates following our themer’s guide:

Does the pro version allow the creation of additional custom fields for the event submission?

Hi,

Yes the Pro Version Additional Fields do show in the Community Events Form to create events.

Those are separate plugins and you need to purchase a license for each.

There is no setting to show or hide a Additional Field based on the user role too.

Cheers
