Limit Category Selection By User/User Role

[bmsszeal]

We have Event Calendar Pro running on an intranet. The company is divided into various office locations. We are wanting to allow each office to post their own events to their “office category”, but restrict them to just that category.

For instance: Downtown Office user logs in, goes to add an event, and the Downtown Office category is already selected and they cannot change that selection.

Would the Community Events add-on possibly help here? Is it possible to define the category for a front-end submission form? We could then just create a separate form for each office location.

Hi, Jeremy.

We do not have such permissioning functionality.

However, if you already have the Events Categories viewing permissions functionality in place, you could customize this file to control which category(ies) the Community Events form should make available: /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-community-events/src/views/community/modules/taxonomy.php

Please reference our Themer’s Guide for how to get started with such a customization.

Last but not least, we have a pretty great Refund Policy so you can buy one or many of our add-ons and thoroughly test them.

I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

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!
