Front-end Venue Edit

[Howard]

The user form allows users to add additional venues, but what happens if they make a spelling error or enter a wrong address. How do they edit the venue?

[George]

Hey Howard,

If the users are registered users on your site, then they can log in and navigate to the venue to edit manually. If not, and they are submitting anonymously, then you yourself or another site admin are the only ones able to edit Venues.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
George

Hi George,

I appreciate your quick response, but I’m not certain we are talking about the same thing. It sounds to me that you are suggesting that I allow registered users to access “venues” through /wp-admin. I could be misinterpreting your response.

What I would like to do is have registered users edit venues from the front-end. Since ‘Community Events’ allows the user to create a venue from the front-end, I assume there must be a way for them to edit a venue as well. Is there a way to do that and if the page exists, what is the url?

Hey Howard,

Sorry for any confusion that arose from my response. My intent was, in fact, to address what you were talking about, which is namely this:

I would like to do is have registered users edit venues from the front-end.

That is not possible at this time. My original comment above meant to clarify that yes, if they are registered users and log into the back-end, they can make edits to Venues.

But even if logged in there is not front-end Venue editing at this time.

I hope this helps clarify things!

Cheers,
George

Thanks for the clarification George. I’m a big fan of the plugin and I’m just trying to accommodate our client.

The problem came up when a user entered a new venue (from the front-end) and inadvertently entered a wrong address. Obviously I would like them to be able to make this correction on their own. It’s a feature that absolutely makes sense and I hope its on your shortlist of updates.

Thanks again!

Hey Howard,

This feature is not currently coming out any time soon, but I agree that it would be quite handy and can pass this along to our developers. Stay tuned to plugin updates, and check the changelog for each update to see if this feature is included!

Thanks for the kind words, best of luck with your client site.
