User privileges

[Riccardo]

Hello, this is the goal:
– standard registered users shouldn’t be able to create events, They actually register via woocommerce registration form
– qualified users register via a custom form (built with gravity form) and are assigned a different user level (Author, for example). After registration, they should be able to post/edit events and check attendees (Events Ticket Plus already installed, sales are managed by site administrator only).

Issues:
– How do I allow Authors only to manage events?
– Both for subscribers and authors I don’t see the Venue field group, so I can’t assign any venue to events
– which permalink should be supposed to point to a list of events created by users? I understand that standard permalink should be “/events/community/list/”. I changed via settings panel: “events” to “eventi”, and “community” to “partner”, so that I expect it to be “/eventi/partner/list”, but I get a 404 error page
– where users are supposed to see attendees and to check sales?

Thanks

Hi Stefano.

Please know that in this forum we try to keep each thread to a single question. I understand in this case how several items might work together, but there are a lot of questions here and you may end up having to break a few out into their own separate threads.

I’ll do my best to provide you helpful information to get you started though.

Community Events doesn’t have anything to do with creating users. However you choose to create users or get them to sign-in is up to you.

Once they’re signed in, CE’s Access Control settings come into play. You can set it up so certain user levels are blocked.

By default in WordPress, Editors can edit others’ posts/events via wp-admin. User Role Editor or a similar plugin (third party, not guaranteed) may be helpful to you.

If you change Community Rewrite Slug from “community” to “partner” and “events” to “eventi”, it worked for me… so hopefully re-saving your Permalinks should help.

If you’re wanting your site users to be able to create events and create RSVPs or sell tickets, you’ll also need our Community Tickets add-on.

I hope this helps you with most of your issues.

If you need more thorough help with any one of these issues, please open a new thread for each topic.

Thanks!
