Redirect login page for CE Submit Event Form

[Sean]

Hi,

We have set our calendar to require that a user be logged in to submit an event. As such, when someone navigates to /events/community/add and they are not logged in, they see the plain login form (see attached screenshot). We are using a 3rd party plugin to add custom front-end login and registration pages to our site. However, because the Community Events Submit an Event form is not a page, we cannot set a redirect option in the plugin.

Is there a snippet or another plugin that will allow us to redirect users to our new login page if they visit /events/community/add while not logged in?

Thank you,
Karly

Hey Karly,

You might want to give a plugin like Theme My Login a shot. Let me know if it helps out and have a great evening. Cheers!

Hi Hunter,

Thanks for this suggestion! TML is a great plugin, but it actually has much of the same functionality as the current plugin I’m using (and would unfortunately cause conflicts).

Is there another plugin (or even a snippet) that only adds functionality for redirects based on whether a user is logged in or not? In my case, I just need to redirect users that attempt to view /events/community/add while not logged in.

Thanks and hope you have a great evening too!

Hey Karly,

While these instances are outside our scope of support, I found a thread on Stack Exchange that could possibly help out. Best of luck and thanks for reaching out. Cheers!

Hi Hunter,

Thanks, this definitely points me in the right direction! I understand you can’t help further with crafting a solution, but regarding the Community Events Submit an Event form itself…what is its page id or slug? I’m not sure where I can locate that since the page isn’t in the Page list in the admin.

Thank you,
Karly

Hey Karly,

The submit event form slug is whatever you have set under Events > Settings > Community > Community rewrite slug (see screenshot below).

Keep me posted on your progress as others may find this thread useful down the road and have a great day!

Thanks Hunter. Unfortunately it looks like that won’t work as the function is looking for a page id or page slug…

I did find another topic on your forums that seems like it might be something similar to what I’m looking to accomplish. Can you or someone from the TEC Support team please see if the code Nico supplied in this topic is still valid? If so, I will give that a try to see if it does what I’m looking for…just want to make sure the function still applies to the current version of the plugins 🙂

Karly,

It doesn’t hurt to give it a try. And sorry things aren’t working out easier for you, but I feel like you’re almost there! Let me know how it goes and thanks for the update. Cheers 🙂

I tested Nico’s function from the other topic and it seems to still be valid for both the /add and /list urls. I’ll use that for now and hopefully those actions and function won’t be broken in a future release 🙂

Thanks,
Karly

Karly,

Thank you for the update and should the code not work in a future update, feel free to create a new thread and we’ll do our best to accommodate. Have a great week 🙂

Cheers!
