Make entire calendar private?

[Jason Lovoy]

I’d like to make an entire calendar private. The events urls don’t necessarily have to be, but the main events page.

Is there a filter I can use to wrap the entire output of The Events Calendar in my own function to make it private? Normally for page content, I’d just change the type of page to password protected. Since TEC takes over the url, I need to filter the whole output and wrap it in something of my own, which I’m comfortable doing. So basically, I just need to know how I can wrap the entire calendar output with my function.

Thanks,

John, you might try creating an override template and use the is_user_logged_in() function. That way only logged in users can see the calendar. If you want something more private than that you could base viewing on user level. Great discussion of that here, http://wplifeguard.com/how-to-use-wordpress-to-display-content-depending-on-a-users-level/

Good tip, Andy.

John: this work for you?

Thanks guys,

I ended up using the WordPress post_password_required() function and setting it in line with a page that I’d created. Then I forked the get_the_password_form() function in WordPress to work with a user provided page ID to pass the id of the faux page I created to establish a connection to the password requirement. It was a little janky, but it worked. I didn’t want to require login, just a password.

Thanks though, the template override made it possible, and I wasn’t thinking about that at first. I put it on the gridview template w/o an issue

Nice – thanks for confirming as much, John. Glad to hear you got a method here that works for you and that the override was able to assist in that. Sounds like we’re set with this particular issue so I’m going to close it out…but if we can do anything more in the future just holler.

Thanks again for the tip, too, Andy!
