Hello All,<\/p>\n
I’m new to the community and wanted to throw something out in case it could help someone else. We have a requirement with our calendars to allow users to post private events (aka require a login to see an event). After initially installing the plugin, I closed my eyes and prayed that setting visibility of the event post to “Private” would give me the functionality I was looking for. It didn’t, so I looked for a solution.<\/p>\n
Since this plugin is so nicely architected, I was able to change one function in the-events-calendar.class.php file, and achieve the result I was looking for. Basically, by default the getEvents function queries only public visibility posts. I added the following logic to allow public and private posts to be queried as long as the current user has the “read_private_tribe_events” capability:<\/p>\n
public function getEvents( $args = ” ) {
\n\t$tribe_ecp = TribeEvents::instance();<\/p>\n
\t\/\/ Determine if user can read private events. If so, pass private events by default, otherwise hide them.
\n\tglobal $current_user;
\n\tif (user_can( $current_user->ID, ‘read_private_tribe_events’ ))
\n\t{
\n\t\t$defaults = array(
\n\t\t\t‘posts_per_page’ => tribe_get_option( ‘postsPerPage’, 10 ),
\n\t\t\t‘post_type’ => TribeEvents::POSTTYPE,
\n\t\t\t‘orderby’ => ‘event_date’,
\n\t\t\t‘order’ => ‘ASC’,
\n\t\t\t‘post_status’ => array( ‘publish’, ‘private’ )
\n\t\t);
\n\t}else{
\n\t\t$defaults = array(
\n\t\t\t‘posts_per_page’ => tribe_get_option( ‘postsPerPage’, 10 ),
\n\t\t\t‘post_type’ => TribeEvents::POSTTYPE,
\n\t\t\t‘orderby’ => ‘event_date’,
\n\t\t\t‘order’ => ‘ASC’
\n\t\t);
\n\t}\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\t$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults);
\n\treturn TribeEventsQuery::getEvents($args);
\n}<\/p>\n
I’ve done only a bit of testing so far, and definitely haven’t covered every use case out there, but I thought I’d throw this out in case someone can see a big problem with this or has anything to add.<\/p>\n
I really don’t like modifying the core library to support this, but until this functionality is supported natively, this is the best I’ve got so far.<\/p>\n
