Hello there,
Is it possible for attendees to login and view their own bookings?
I tried to embed [ESPRESSO_EDIT_PROFILE] into a widget, but am only getting the literal short code printed in the browser.
I have already added the following to functions.php:
add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’);
Cheers,
Spencer

Hi,
This shortcode will allow an attendee to view their current registrations:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#my-events
The WP User integration is needed and the attendee needs to login to the WordPress site.
Event Espresso does not automatically create users, however this will help with that:

That’s great Lorenzo,
Is there any way to allow public commenting with EE3? I can see that ti is available in EE4, but I have had to go with EE3 as it has the staff and attendee short codes.
Thanks for your help,
Spencer

Hi,
The only way would be to not use the events as such and to add either:
Posts and use the Registration Form shortcode https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#reg-page
Event Posts and do the same.
The reason for this is that EE3 events are not true custom post types so do not allow commenting.

Ok, that’s a major problem for us then. Um…
Would it be possible to use something like Facebook conversations, such as is at the bottom of this page? Sorry for the long scroll: http://www.buzzfeed.com/jacelacob/twin-peaks-co-creator-mark-frost-on-the-series-return#2sqlq46
Or use Discuss? Our client is very keen on having attendees get into some banter.
Thanks Dean,
Spencer

Hi Spencer,
Yes it should be possible, but there might be an issue.
You see, the way EE3 was set up is that the events and event registration is all done dynamically off of the page that holds the ESPRESSO_EVENTS shortcode.
If you look at any of your events, you will see in the URL that they all refer to the same Page ID.
So, while you could add Disqus or FB comments via the template files, you may find it will turn into one large conversation rather than an individual conversation per event, as it is tracking the Page ID not the event.
I don’t know enough about those commenting systems/plugins to see if it is possible to hook into them and use the event ID as a way to differentiate between conversations. It might be possible but you would need to do some digging on that.

Ok, thanks Dean. That’s going to be a tricky one to get around.
Do you know if any of your recommended third-party developers would be able to help out?
Cheers,
Specner

Hey,
I can’t say for sure of course, but you should get in touch with them, they are all experienced with EE in one way or another.

By the way Spen, an update to WordPress awhile back made it possible to use shortcodes in widget areas without having to use the add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’); function.
Since this topic is resolved, I am going to close it. If you have anymore questions or issues, please start a new topic and we will be happy to help there. 🙂
