Hello,

As you know we use EE4 to allow external Event organizers to publish their own events. To do so, the Event organizer has to create an account, with login and password first, then he can create his event through a front-end specific form. I precise that thay are not admin in our system.
Now, to facilitate them this creation process, we would like to give them access to the “Event organizers profile page” that has been created for them. We would like to give them access to this information from 2 different way. Let’s say we are talking about Event organizer “A” :

* I want to show to “A” his profile page in a list, so that they can select it and associate it to the event he wants to create. I would like to show this “Event organizer profile page” in the list only to “A” and to all the Event organizers that I decided to, not to the other Event organizers who are logged in on my website and who are not authorized to see this page in the list.

* I also want to give him access to this page so that they can edit and modify it, entirely or only some fields, so that he can add information to the bigraphy / description on this page. I also would like to decide who other user can edit / modify this page or not.

Could you help me one this topic please? Do you have an idea how I could do to have these features in EE4?

Thanks a lot

Hi there,

It depends on what exactly the ‘Event organizer profile page’ is and how it is created, but unless I’m misunderstanding the above it does not sound like it would use Event Espresso directly so this isn’t something we could provide support for.

How are you creating the ‘Event organizer profile page’?

* I want to show to “A” his profile page in a list, so that they can select it and associate it to the event he wants to create.

Display the organizer in which list?

I’m not sure how they would be assigned to the event? As the author?

I would like to show this “Event organizer profile page” in the list only to “A” and to all the Event organizers that I decided to, not to the other Event organizers who are logged in on my website and who are not authorized to see this page in the list.

This would likely be done with capabilities but sounds like something custom which would need to be coded by a developer.

* I also want to give him access to this page so that they can edit and modify it, entirely or only some fields, so that he can add information to the bigraphy / description on this page. I also would like to decide who other user can edit / modify this page or not.

This depends on what the Event Organizer page, access would likely be controlled via capabilities once again however this also sounds like you would need some custom development for this.

If you can provide more detailed information on the setup we may be able to provide further information but unless I’m misunderstanding what your trying to do and how I think you will be setting this up it sounds like you will need to have the above custom coded by a developer.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer. Please find my further explainations below:

* The ‘Event organizer profile page’ is the page that is created from this EE4 menu : Event Espresso > Add-ons > People Admin : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4-hsazMWUExeWN4MlJsZzVHSHc

* Currently, we are like a marketplace, that means that we gave the ability to an event author to create the initial version of the ‘Event organizer profile page’, when creating his event.

* We also gave the ability to an event author to create his event from a ‘Workshop front-end creation form’ that we developed in front-end. I tell you this because the list I was referring to in my first email is the list of the ‘Event organizer profile page’ existing in our system and which can be chosen in our ‘Workshop front-end creation form’ by the event author when creating the workshop. Currently, anyone who is logged in can see the entire list of the ‘Event organizer profile page’ and chose the one he wants to.
What we would need would be that the event author can only see the ‘Event organizer profile page’ that is linked to him or that he has got the right to see. To do so, I search a technical means either to identify each ‘Event organizer profile page’ and link them to the author I chose, or to give special rights to the event author to let him chose certain ‘Event organizer profile page’ and not the other when he creates his event.

Are my explanation clearer on the topic?

Thanks a lot
