Hide Organizers in Community Events Settings – Submit An Event

[carcal1]

Hello,
I am a very new user and love the Community Events plug in…
However… Is there a way to hide the list of organizers when a “Registered Guest” is adding their event? I would rather not allow my “guests” to see who else is registered.
Also- What are the best settings for Access Control.
I’m not clear on what each setting does??

Thank you,
Cary

Howdy carcal1,

There absolutely is a way ro hide the saved organizers. You could create a theme override (tutorial link) for the file /community/modules/organizer.php, and remove the bits you don’t want! It does require a little bit of knowhow for modifying themes.

Here is a better description of the Access Control bits. The trouble is, there is no “best” setting for this page. For one, the page is probably unique to your site and will include a few custom roles created by other plugins. If you wanted to be extremely safe, you could check all of the boxes. However, then your Editors, Authors, and such won’t be able to edit events they have submitted via the community form. You have to decide if that is what you want, or not.

Does that all make sense? I am happy to expound, or answer further questions? Just please let me know. Cheers!

Thanks Brooke for the quick reply…
I definitely want my calendar users to be able to submit and edit their events while hiding the other users on the drop-down list.
Can this be done? Can I pay you to make the changes?
Will the changes interfere with future plugin updates?

Howdy Cary,

That can absolutely be done. My instructions there are actually how you or a developer would do it. On occasion an update to the calendar might require you to update your “Theme override” as well, but we very purposefully try to minimize the amount of times that will happen to folks running theme overrides.

We do not offer a service like that, where we make changes for you. However you are not the first person who has desired to make a complex change but did not feel comfortable doing it yourself. If you email pro @ this website you can request a list of developers who are quite capable for this sort of thing. You will be sent a list, and you can go from there. Some of those developers even specialize in smaller projects like this one, so no worries there.

Would that work for you? Please let me know if I can answer further questions. Thanks!

Since this thread has gone for a bit of a spell without an update, I am going to archive it. However should you need to continue this thread, or if you have any other questions, please open a new thread. We will be happy to help.

Cheers!
