Putting Add Events (and other Admin features) in Front End

[fifteen15studios]

Hi Modern Tribe,

I’ve been looking for an answer to thsi, and I didn’t know whether to put it in Pro or Community Events.

I’d like to give visitors (mainly registered visitors) the ability to add events to our calendar and edit previous events they added. I know the Community Events plugin lets them add events, but what can we do if they want to go back and edit something, or see a list of all the events they created and make copies, or something like that? Presently, we give them access to the back end dashboard in order to do this, which is not something we want to do. Do you have any way (or can you suggest something) of making it so that they can do these functions on a page of the website instead of through the admin dashboard?

Thanks!
Brendan

Hey Brendan,

These features should already be working with Community Events:

I know the Community Events plugin lets them add events, but what can we do if they want to go back and edit something, or see a list of all the events they created and make copies, or something like that?

There is a “my events list” for logged-in users only that has all of the events that the user submitted listed, with some basic actions like editing the event etc.

This is all on the front end, NOT in the site’s wp-admin. The user has to be logged in, but it’s on the front end….

1. Do you not see the “My Events” list anywhere on your site?
2. Do you let folks submit anonymously? Or are event logins required.
3. Can you share the system information for the site on which you have these issues? You can do so by following these steps → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

Thank you,
George

GEEZ! THERE IT IS! THANKS!
Ok, I didn’t know this page existed: http://www.example.com/events/community/list

Since it does, I’m wondering what else I’m missing. Is there a list of all the Community Events pages which contain some kind of form or information? Also, is there a page with just the login form on it? when I access the My List page, I get the login form if the user is not logged in, but I am curious if you have a page set up for just the login?

I know of http://www.example.com/events/community/list and http://www.example.com/events/community/add.

Do you have a My Account page or anything so the user can add personal details or set preferences like default vendor?

Thanks!
Brendan

Hey Brendan,

Glad to hear about some progress here. These are the only two pages Community Events generates/provides:

• http://www.example.com/events/community/list — The “My events” page.
• http://www.example.com/events/community/add — The submission page.

The login form is the default WordPress-generated login form, so yes you can technically customize, but no it’s not related to (and thus not customizable from within) Community Events.

The login form is generated by this WordPress Core function → https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_login_form

So to alter it and add new information to it and such, you would have to customize code or hire someone to build out those customizations for you.

Sorry to disappoint!

Profile Builder and WP Front End worked well for this. 🙂
