Filtering Events shown to User

[Linda Rawson]

We have an algorithm that matches people together for dining events. We need to present those events to those groups of people that were uniquely matched. They should not see ALL events only those which they were grouped together with. We have a field in the database that would be populated with that unique group number. How can I limit the events people see by a unique field in the database?

Thank you,
Linda

Good afternoon Linda and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

I do not have all of the specifics of how your algorithm works, but I am pretty sure you can accomplish exactly what you are looking for.

That being said, this will most likely require some customization on your end.
You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.

At a high level, here are a couple of ideas to accomplish that:

• The group numbers could also be event categories. That way you could provide your users with event views filtered by event category
• You could use a plugin such as Members (https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/admin-roles-and-permissions/), this would allow you to create different permission groups that match your group numbers and restrict content accordinly

If that seems a bit out of your comfort zone, you can hire one of our recommended customizers to do the customization for you.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.

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!
