I would like to be able to give an event coordinator to just be able to login into there event guest list and see attendees and then print guest list, can this be done with this add on? |
Hi Eric, This isn’t something that the Roles and Permissions plugin does. This is something that could be custom developed. Here’s a guide that may help: http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2012/01/27/limiting-visibility-posts-username/ What you then could do is set up the events to publish a post that includes the [ATTENDEE_LIST] shortcode on it, then use the above guide to make it so you can limit the access of that post to the specific event coordinator. |

I’m guessing Permissions Pro won’t help do this either? |
That’s a correct assumption. |
|
|
what about not worry about them printing it out, just being able to see |
|
or could you set that up for me at a cost for your time? |
Hi Eric, The Roles and Permissions add-on will still allow them to create events because it doesn’t restrict capabilities down to a read only level. |

Can this be set up by yourself or someone there at a cost for your time?

Hi Eric, We are not taking on customization projects at this time. One of the developers that we recommend may be able to give you a quote: |

Hi Josh, sounds good. Thank you How about just setting it up so that a user can view just one event |
|
Hi Eric, The Roles and Permissions add on will not limit users to single events by default. It would require customisation of the plugin to achieve that. |
|
so right now it will just let a user see ALL the events – ‘Event/Attendee Listings Page’ I see that as a permission setting. is that correct, but not single events. roles and permissions pro add on, won’t help this either? |
Hi Eric, What the Roles and Permissions Pro add-on does is let you set up regions where the event managers assigned to a region can only access events created by someone assigned to their region. It doesn’t let you restrict an event from everyone else by assigning it to someone. |
|
|
so couldn’t you just set up a region with an event manager and set the event manager |
Hi Eric, They or their regional manager would have to actually create their events. They could still export out the attendee data from other events though. They’d only be restricted to editing their events and not be able to edit other user account’s events. |
|
|
Hi Josh, So they could actually go into every event we had set up? but aren’t events separated by user accounts with pro. confusing. I just want an event manager to password/login and view attendees for his or her event and then be able to export to excel |
Not exactly, they’d be able to go into edit the events that they set up, but they could also export the attendee data for events they don’t set up. The R&P features were built for a specific client’s use case and were later released as plugins. Since your use case requires a different solution, I do not recommend Roles and Permissions. The solution outlined in the article I linked to earlier seems like a better fit, or at the very least a start in the right direction: http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2012/01/27/limiting-visibility-posts-username/ |
