Overview
Many event sites want contributions from their community but do not want to hand out admin access. This add-on solves that by placing a submission form on any page through a shortcode or an EventON block. Site owners choose which fields appear and in what order, so the form collects only the details they need. A lightbox version works on mobile screens as well as desktop.
Control stays with the site owner. Submissions can be limited to logged-in users or opened to everyone, and new events can be saved as drafts or published right away. Permissions follow WordPress user roles, or can be set for individual users. It suits community portals, corporate event pages and specialized calendars that run on EventON and need a steady flow of user-submitted listings.
Features
- Front-end event submission: Users add events from your site with a shortcode or EventON block, so they never need to open the WordPress admin area to contribute a listing.
- Customizable form fields: Control which fields show on the submission form and their order, and add custom HTML fields, so the form asks for the information your calendar requires.
- Responsive lightbox form: The submission form can open in a mobile-friendly lightbox, which gives visitors a usable way to send events from phones, tablets and desktops.
- Flexible access control: Restrict submissions to logged-in users or allow anyone to submit, and decide whether new events are saved as drafts or published immediately.
- Role-based permissions: Assign submission and editing privileges by WordPress user role, or set capabilities for individual users to fit the way your editorial team works.
- Front-end event manager: Logged-in users get a dashboard where they can search, edit and delete the events they submitted, within the permissions you have configured.
- Spam protection and limits: Built-in CAPTCHA validation filters out bots, and an optional one-submission-per-user setting for logged-in users helps prevent duplicate entries.
- Guest details and admin notes: Collect names and emails from guests who submit events, and let users send private notes that only site administrators can read.
Best for
- Community event portals that accept listings from visitors
