Submit Community Event Through Widget

[Douglas LaMunyon]

Is there a way to add a form to submit community events through a widget? Also, do we have to have these user submitted events append and rewrite the URL?

Thanks,
Doug

Hi Doug,

Thanks for getting in touch 🙂

Is there a way to add a form to submit community events through a widget?

We don’t provide a widget for this purpose, but you could certainly propose this as a further feature request (or even code it yourself, if you feel comfortable with the process for doing so):

• Submit a feature request
• Learn about creating new widgets

Also, do we have to have these user submitted events append and rewrite the URL?

That’s an interesting question. Can you clarify what you’d prefer and what the problem with the existing approach is?

Thanks!

As far as the URL for community events, I just didn’t see any need to change the /events/my-new-event/ URL.

Hi Doug,

I’m not quite sure I understand: the normal and expected URL structure for event views (and individual events) remains the same even with Community Events activated.

Where do you see this change/what did it change from? Or, how would you prefer it to work/for the URLs to be structured?

[Douglas LaMunyon]

In Events > Settings – ‘Community’ tab, there is an area you call ‘Community rewrite slug. It says…
‘The slug used for building the community events URL – it is appended to the main events slug’

Are you saying this only rewrites on the front end events submission pages? Or does this append the actual events as well?

[Barry]

Ah, I see.

Yes that is only used for the frontend editor and “My Events” list pages, for instance:

example.com/events/community/add
example.com/events/community/list

It has no impact on actual events – the URL for individual events, once published, follows exactly the same pattern as they would if created by an administrator or editor through the admin environment.

Does that clarify things?

[Douglas LaMunyon]

Got it. Thanks.

Fantastic!
