Simple Organizer sign-up form…

[Kandace]

I am helping a client who hosts events that feature Authors, and once a year do a book festival. In the past, we have set up the authors (organizers), which includes some additional custom fields. There are a lot of authors, and what the client would like to do is create a simple sign-up form that would allow them to register themselves.

I am posting here because I know that the Community Events feature does something similar. However, we wouldn’t want them to create an event, we would only want them to create their own user account, with custom fields for a bio pic & book cover, etc.

I’m wondering if there is an existing solution for this that I am overlooking, or otherwise any advice towards how to achieve the goal. Thanks!

Hi Kandace!

Community Events does let users create organizers when creating an event, but there is not currently any functionality that would allow them to create only an organizer. You could potentially integrate a third-party form (possibly with a plugin like this one) or a custom form with The Events Calendar to create new organizers from submissions, but this would likely require a fair amount of code customization. This is outside the scope of support that we are able to provide here in the forums, but we do have a list of recommended developers that you could contact if you’d like to get help with the code. If you’d like to give this a shot yourself, then we do have some knowledge articles related to customizations that might help you out.

I’m sorry that I don’t have a more straightforward solution for you here, but please let me know if there is anything else that I can help with!

Thanks,

Jennifer

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!
