Pre Sales / Moving away from Modern Events Calender

[Mike]

Hi guys.

I have a few questions but for now I will keep it short. There are things that currently can not do with Modern Events Calendar which is why I want to shy away from them and I was wondering it EC is the way to move?

1. Can I use EC on a site that allows multiple Users to create events?
2. If yes, then will EC allow the User (Organiser) to edit their own event?
3. Will the Organiser only see their events?
4. The view for the Organiser, is it viewed on the FrontEnd or Backend (Dashboard) of WordPress?

Lets leave it at that for now…

Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks so much for reaching out–happy to hear that you’re considering making the move to our plugins! 🙂 I’d be more than glad to answer these questions for you!

It sounds like your needs here might best be met by a combination of two plugins: our free core calendar plugin, The Events Calendar, and our premium community-focused add-on, Community Events. While The Events Calendar provides all the primary functionality for creating and displaying events, Community Events adds support for user-submitted events, opening up these tools to a broader audience. Here’s a point-by-point breakdown with your requests here:

Can I use EC on a site that allows multiple Users to create events? Yes! Community Events supports event submissions from both registered and anonymous users by default. You can adjust this behavior in your plugin settings, if desired.
If yes, then will EC allow the User (Organiser) to edit their own event? Registered users who submit events using Community Events will have the option of logging in and editing their own events. However, this option is not available to anonymous users.
Will the Organiser only see their events? Yes; when logging in to edit events, registered users will only be able to view and edit their own events. (Administrators, of course, are still able to view, edit, and approve all events!)
The view for the Organiser, is it viewed on the FrontEnd or Backend (Dashboard) of WordPress? All of the tools that registered users should need to administrate events are available on the front-end, without accessing the WordPress dashboard. However, if you do wish to grant dashboard access, users will still only be able to view and edit their own events. 🙂

I hope that helps! For more information on our Community Events add-on, you can check out the product page at the following link:

Let us know if you should have any other questions here! Cheers, and thanks again!
