Show specific calendar/events to a specific user(s) when logged in

[Paul]

Hello :),

The thing I’m trying to do is the following:
Use The Events Calendar not for events but to show content that is published and scheduled on Social Media accounts from a third party dashboard.

So I import the (events) content with a .csv file to WordPress. But every (event) has got it’s own project and user.
example:
– Project 01 has got 10 events/content items and belongs to user 01.
– Project 02 has got 5 events/content items and belongs to user 02.
– Project 03 has got 17 events/content items and belongs to user 03.

So If user 01 is logged in and goes to their account or events page they will see the calendar month/list view and can only see the 10 events/content items that belongs to that user.

And the same thing for the other users, and they cannot see events/content items from other users.

I know I will need to customise it, but I am hoping that someone can point me to the right direction before I purchase the PRO version etc.

I already got the calendar with the imported events for one project. Just know need to assign these events to a specific user and put it on the Woo commerce my-account or a different page.

Will I need to work with the get current user id in WordPress or something? Or something else maybe?

Hope someone can help 🙂

Kind regards,

Paul

Hi, Paul. Thanks for your interest in our plugin suite.

I’m not sure our products will fit your needs, as it’s a site-wide calendar, not user-specific or built to be a publishing engine.

Our plugin creates one master calendar, but you can create the appearance of multiple calendars by using Event Categories.

Examples:

• main/master calendar where all the site’s events appear: http://wpshindig.com/events/
• WP Meetups category calendar: http://wpshindig.com/events/category/wp-meetups/
• Learning category calendar: http://wpshindig.com/events/category/learning/

There are additional methods and documentation at our Can You Have Multiple Calendars? KB article.

Note that this functionality is available in the free/core version of The Events Calendar. You would only need to buy one of our add-ons if you wanted those extra features (e.g. Map View from Events Calendar PRO).

Last but not least, we have Bundles and a pretty great Refund Policy so you can buy one or many of our add-ons and thoroughly test them.

I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Hi @cliff

Thank you for your help!

But also do you have any idea how I can get each category connected to a different user?

Don’t really know where to look for lol.

And is it possible to automatically import a csv file?

But also automatically change some values in the csv file? Because the file I get from a third party has got the date in y/m/d format (18/01/31) and there is now way they will change this generated date for me. And I tried changing the settings in the events calendar but nothing worked. And the date would not be reconized. So I changed it manually first.

Thanks again for your help!

I believe you’re requesting the same thing as one of our existing feature requests: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/5967446-community-events-more-control-over-organizer-subm

Please do add your vote there. This allows us to gauge interest in this particular feature request, which helps us prioritize our development efforts.

We have a CSV import (free) but not a CSV export. Please reference https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/csv-files-options-and-examples/ — there is no way to automatically import, such as a CSV from a specific URL at a time interval

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

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!
