Is it possible to create event on the front end?

[Chris]

Is it possible to have the a page on the website w/ a form that creates events similar to the dashboard?

My client wants their users to be able to create their own calendar events. I’m worried that having the users access the dashboard may be too technical for the average user.

Hey Chris. Thanks for the note here. This functionality is currently doable via an unsupported Gravity Forms hack (Tim Bowen detailed that at http://creativeslice.com/tutorials/gravity-forms-events-calendar-submissions/), but we’ve got an official/supported feature along these lines coming in our Community Events add-on: https://theeventscalendar.com/shop/wordpress-community-events/. We’re aiming to release that later this month and it’ll allow for exactly what you’re requesting: users on the frontend can submit their own events without ever touching the backend.

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions here, let me know.

Hi Rob,

Any update on the release date on the Community Events plugin? I’m about to launch my client’s website and we’re waiting to see when the CE will be available.

Hey Chris. Any week now; should by this time next month at this point, given some of the dev roadblocks we’ve encountered. Realistically it may be a bit sooner but we don’t want to get anybody’s hopes up.

If you shoot me an email or just post here again over the coming weeks I’d be happy to keep you in the loop. I apologize for the delay so far, though.
