[event_form] & edit_others_events, not able to see other users events

  • Hi all

    I am using events manager for a closed group of authenticated users who are managing all the events. Therefore I gave the corresponding user roles the ” edit_others_events” privilege.

    This works great for the admin module of events manager, but unfortunately not for the front end form to manage events. There every user can only see own events, but not other users events.

    I was searching in the templates where a filter is applied, but was not able to find it so far.

    How can I change the filter to display all events in the front end form?

  • Hi,

    I think you’d need to make a custom version of the template below to do something like that.

    /events-manager/templates/forms/event-editor.php

    Hi caimin_nwl

    Thanks for the advise.
    I did some digging and I feel like the right point to start with would be here:
    /events-manager/tables/events.php

    this is the overview I was referring to before.
    It is taking care of listing all events, but unfortunately filtered for the current user.

    Code responsible for listing the events:

    foreach ( $EM_Events as $EM_Event ) {
						/* @var $EM_Event EM_Event */
						$rowno++;
						$class = ($rowno % 2) ? 'alternate' : '';
						// FIXME set to american
						$localised_start_date = date_i18n(get_option('dbem_date_format'), $EM_Event->start);
						$localised_end_date = date_i18n(get_option('dbem_date_format'), $EM_Event->end);
						$style = "";
						$today = current_time('timestamp');
						$location_summary = "<b>" . esc_html($EM_Event->get_location()->location_name) . "</b><br/>" . esc_html($EM_Event->get_location()->location_address) . " - " . esc_html($EM_Event->get_location()->location_town);
...

    But I couldn’t see where the filter for “current user” is being applied.

    So where is $EM_Events being loaded/prepared/filtered for the front end forms?
    And how do I change it to display all events?

    That happens in the file that defines the EM_Events class, which is here:

    /events-manager/classes/em-events.php

    Hi caimin_nwl

    Thanks for the hint.
    I was looking into the the class you mentioned. But to be honest I got lost in there :-).

    There are many function calls for “apply_filters”, but I couldn’t see any hard filtering of users.

    I was just wondering, since this is a class, wouldn’t the filter be set in the function call which uses this class?
    Again I did some digging but couldn’t find where the overview submission form (the one which is being called without “?action=edit”) is calling the EM_Events class and applies the user filter.

    Do you know where this is taking place?
