Using Events Calendar Pro and possibly adding Community Events

[Jean Widner]

Hi there,
We’ve got a wordpress site where we sell even advertising for local business to advertise coming attractions. We’ve installed Calendar Pro, because we particularly like the visual impact of the Photo View feature. We’re happy with all of that!

Now though, is our other issue we’d like to solve. We would ALSO like some of our businesses to be able to add their own events with photos, either for free or with a reduced fee (was going to probably use Gravity Forms for that checkout, as we have done with other things like our Job Board). Our thought is, that say larger planned community and business events that our folks want to advertise for, are in the one main category. But, say for local bars who have bands we wanted to have a ‘nightlife’ section for, and allow them to just be able to quickly ad their own content/event ads.

So, the questions we have are this:
1. Will these two products play nicely together?
2. If we add on the Community Events feature, can those Events still show in the Photo View style on that page?

I’ll hope to hear from you soon and thanks in advance for any help!

Best Regards,
Jean

Hi Jean,

Stoked to hear that photo view has been a hit!

Will these two products play nicely together?

Events Calendar PRO and Community Events absolutely play nicely together. However, just to avoid any possible confusion, I want to be clear that they won’t facilitate your charging users for each submission (that might not be your intention, or perhaps you anyway have ideas about how to handle this – but I felt it was worth clarifying).

2. If we add on the Community Events feature, can those Events still show in the Photo View style on that page?

Yes: once published, they will in fact show up in all views – photo view included 🙂

Does that answer your 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!
