Setting up front-end editing

Only do this if you really trust your users to only enter serious events and no fun or test records.

Setting up the front-end editing with the new plugin

Note

This is the new front-end editor that was introduced in seminars 4.2.0.

Important

I plan to remove this feature in seminars 6 as nobody seems to be using front-end editing of events nowadays. If you are using it, please let me know in order for me to keep this feature.

  1. If you have not done so already, create a front-end user group for your editors.

  2. If you have not done so already, create a folder for the front-end-created events. (You can also use the general events folder if you do not want to store the front-end-created events separately.)

  3. Create a front-end page and limit access to the front-end user group you created in step 1. This is very important.

  4. On the page you've just created, create a plugin and set its type to Front-end editor for events.

  5. In the plugin flexform, set the the folder for in which the front-end-created events should be stored.

  6. That's it - you're done!
