multiple users

[Bud]

I can’t seem to find the answers I have in your general support area:

1) One website. Hundreds of users. Each user needs to create an event calendar.

Possible using just the standard WordPress user account?

2) Aggregation search/display of above users.

I need the ability to display – prefer in location map form but calendar date form is acceptable – an overall event listing for those several hundred users by date. Possible?

3) Entry field names are mapable so I can change the parent (master) calendar field names to any name?

4) Can users import calendar data from Google Docs? Upload CSV?

Thank you.

Hi Bud,

Thanks for getting in touch! It sounds like you’ve got a pretty complex setup in mind here, and it’s possible that we may able to provide much of the functionality that you’re seeking, though other aspects may require a bit of compromise or some degree of customization to achieve.

While it won’t provide the support for individual user calendars that you’re looking for, pairing one of our core calendar plugins with Community Events will add support for user-submitted events, so any of your WordPress users with the appropriate permissions can submit events to a master calendar. Using Events Calendar PRO in tandem with Community Events will add your desired support for a map-based view, letting users submit events with location data and plot points on a collective events map for your site visitors. And, of course, this Knowledgebase article provides information on changing event field names to the text of your choice. 🙂

Lastly, yes, we absolutely do support both CSV and Google Calendar imports–CSV import functionality is included with our free version of The Events Calendar, while Google Calendar imports are handled by the optional add-on Event Aggregator.

Whew! I hope that helps to answer your questions and give you an idea of what might be possible! Please don’t hesitate to follow up if there’s anything else we can help you with–and thanks again for stopping by!

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!
