Monthly Calendar for a User Id and then embedding it a post

[Nitin]

Hi Team

My site has 50+ registered users. I’m looking at creating a user specific monthly calendar. This way, it will be easy to show all the events happening at one place/organization.

Pls suggest, how this can be achieved?

Thanks
Nitin

Howdy njainb,

Using our Community Events addon you are able to accept events from registered users in the community. You could create a unique category for each user, and request that they each only submit events to their category. That would allow you to have a separate calendar view for each of their events, and one combined view for all of them.

Example of an event category page. Imagine if this was named “UserA” And only contained events submitted by that user.

Would that option work for your needs? Did I understand and answer your question? If not please let me know, and clarify any areas of your needs that I did not understand. Thanks!

Hi Brook
I bought community events also sometime back, but it was not much helpful for me. See I’ve events specific to multiple genre. And all users may submit events in those genre. I can’t have a restriction of one event category for each user. As this user number is dynamic and number of event category is static. I’d rather prefer to create a template/workaround for a user id based cal.

Can you pls suggest on this.

Regards
Nitin

I follow you, Nitin. If you do want to create a customization built from the ground up to suite those needs, it actually should be relatively easy if you are versed in the WP API. Our plugin runs all of it’s calls through tribe_get_events(). It is very similar to get_posts() from the WP API, only is accepts some optional arguments regarding event times/recurrences, and allows you to sort by event dates.

The best way to do this is probably to add your own rewrites to WordPress, effectively creating a new set of pages. For each user you could add a page, and using tribe_get_events simply select events authored by that user.

Does that make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know. Cheers!
