Pre-Sales questions

[Jacob P.]

I need to be able to have multiple people add events, based on their role. My site has ~15 roles, but right now, only the admin can add posts. This is a key feature I need. Also, does the plugin automatically push the iCal events to the devices, and if it doesn’t, how do users get the events on their phones?

Hi Jacob,

Thanks for getting in touch. You can have users add events with our Community Events plugin. You can use user roles to dictate who has different abilities, although I don’t know if we have 15 different configurations. You could certainly do it so that Users could submit events as drafts and Admins could approve and post them, for example.

The plugin does not automatically push iCal events to devices. If you want to export an event or series of events to iCal, a user clicks the button on the calendar page and downloads the files. They can also do this for Google Calendar. From there it would depend whether the person had that calendar app on their phone.

Let me know if I can elaborate or answer any other questions.

Thanks,
Leah

Does Community Events come with The Events Calendar Pro? I am building a site for my local scout troop, and an additional $50 is not something I think they would want to spend.

Hi Jacob,

Community Events does NOT come with Events Calendar PRO- they are both separate add-ons. However, you can run Community Events with the free core plugin, The Events Calendar. You just won’t have the PRO features like recurring events, default content, etc.
