Funny, the link you referred me to is a post from me asking this same question more than a year ago. At that time, we took the suggestion and hired someone to work with Gravity Forms and custom map the submissions. It worked great up until a couple of weeks ago. I don’t know if it was a Tribe update or a GF update (or both), but it stopped working. And the guy who developed it for us is long gone unfortunately.
As a non-profit with limited resources, we can’t afford to pay someone new to come in and figure this out for us over and over again. Which is why we’d rather use your CE plugin – that way everything is developed from the same vendor.
But not having the ability to attach a PDF or other file format is a huge annoyance to our users.
I’m actually not asking that you expand the existing list of file types for that question – because that question maps back to WP’s featured image. So it really has to be an image file.
What I’m looking for is the ability for people submitting their community events to be able to attach downloadable documents, like PDFs, Word, Excel files. So on the front end, when visitors view the posted event, they can see a featured image, description and a link(s) to download a file(s) – e.g., and event flyer that someone might want to print off and take with them, etc.
I don’t know if that clarification make the process for adding this feature easier or not. Seems like if we require that someone log in to access that ability to post through community events, that there’d be something you could do WordPress’s “Add Media” feature that doesn’t require the submitter to host the document off-site. Maybe it uploads it to a distinct directory in the WordPress back end that Admins can monitor and manage.
Does any of this make sense?
I’m looking in my live account where the license keys are active. Why is the plugin library not telling me there are updates available for my EC plugins…? Normally, that information shows up here and I can just click to update. Why is this feature not working on my site? It’s not easy to know when updates are available if they don’t show up here…
So here’s problem #1. This is a staging site, and we only have one license of Pro & Filter Bar. So am I supposed to buy extra licenses for staging so I can update the plugins here? We’re a non-profit – we can’t throw money around like that…
Ok, thank you! I will try this out and get back to you. It might take me a couple more weeks because I really need to set up a staging site to drop it back to the 2016 theme. But let’s please keep the ticket open? I really do need to resolve this. Thanks! 🙂
Hi there! Ok, I was afraid of that. Let me go through these tests and I’ll circle back with you. Thanks!
And it just keeps getting stranger, and stranger. Now I’ve got more and more of the recurring event happening on Jan 22nd, when that was supposed to be a single date in the recurrence: http://www.screencast.com/t/g8hJii3N3e
It’s also decided to generate some for Jan 22, 1970. That should be interesting! 🙂
For the moment, I’ve deleted all of these and moved them to the trash. My site is live, and I can’t have incorrect dates appearing like this. It’s baffling. The recurring events feature was the main reason we paid for the PRO version, and now it looks like it’s not going to work…
