Indipendent calendars for different authors

[Marc Baumgartner]

Hello

We currently working on a new website for our local YMCA with WordPress. We have different subgroups which all have their own subpages with their own agendas. The current website uses a custom built agenda, but the code is about 10 years old.

On the new website we would like to use “The events Calendar” or “The events Calendar PRO” Is it possible with one or both of them to have different calendars for different autors? The different autors should not be able to see and change the events of the other users.

Kind regards,
Marc

Good evening Marc and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

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

On the new website we would like to use “The events Calendar” or “The events Calendar PRO” Is it possible with one or both of them to have different calendars for different authors?

Yes, that is possible.
Our Community Events premium add-on allows multiple authors to publish and manage only their events using the front-end: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-community-events/

The different autors should not be able to see and change the events of the other users.

Although different authors can only manage their own events, technically all of these events all end up in the same calendar. In other words, they are not private per se.

Depending on what your requirements are exactly, there could still be a couple of workarounds:

1. You can display calendars by category using a shortcode https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/embedding-calendar-views-tribe_events-shortcode/ . Using that approach each author would be a “category”, each author would then have its own page on the website with his calendar.

   If you want to keep this calendar fully private from others, you could always make sure that the full calendar is never displayed anywhere on the site.

   If on the other hand it is cool for people to see other events, but not be able to edit them, then you can also have the full calendar displaying.

2. As an alternative, we have an upcoming brand spanking new calendar platform coming up. It should be released around the end of February https://theeventscalendar.com/calendar-beyond-wordpress/

   This would let every author have it’s own separate account AND embed their events on any page of your WordPress site.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Hello Geoff

Thank you for your answer. I will discuss it with my team collegues. Do you offer discounts for non profit / charity organisations?

Have a good weekend!

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.
