Save all events as Private

    Hi, my BuddyPress setup requires all the events created by users to be saved as private.

    I achieved this by adding this to my themes functions.php

    function make_event_private_by_default($result, $EM_Event) {
	global $wpdb;
        $EM_Event->event_private = 1;
	$wpdb->update($wpdb->posts, array('post_status'=>'private'), array('ID'=>$EM_Event->post_id));
	return $result;
}
add_filter('em_event_save', 'make_event_private_by_default',1,2);

    My problem is that the the private events still show up on other users event calendars.

    When I set the event as private from the admin metabox then it doesn’t show up in the event calendar of other users.

    Is there anything else that I should set as private in the function above so the event would be completely private?

    I also tried using the wp_update_post() function with same level of success as the above example.

    Any advice is much appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Herman

    After searching through the plugins files for em_event_save I came up with a fully working solution.

    Here is my solution with commentary for anyone else who wishes to make all events private by default.

    function make_event_private_by_default($result, $EM_Event) {

	// Make it possible to make the event public from admin
	if ($EM_Event->post_status == 'publish') return;

	if( is_object($EM_Event) && !empty($EM_Event->event_id) ){
		global $wpdb;
		// This prevents the event from showing up in activity feeds
		$EM_Event->event_private = 1;
		// This makes the event post status private
		$wpdb->update($wpdb->posts, array('post_status'=>'private'), array('ID'=>$EM_Event->post_id));
		// This makes the event private so it doesn't show other members calendar
		$wpdb->update(EM_EVENTS_TABLE, array('event_private'=>1), array('event_id'=>$EM_Event->event_id));
	}

	return $result;
}
add_filter('em_event_save', 'make_event_private_by_default',1,2);

    Thanks for sharing your code; it might help someone else.

    Small amendment to the above code. There was an issue with making the event public from the admin.

    function make_event_private_by_default($result, $EM_Event) {

	// Make it possible to make the event public from admin
	if (get_post_status($result->ID) == 'private' AND $EM_Event->post_status == 'publish') return;

	if( is_object($EM_Event) && !empty($EM_Event->event_id) ){
		global $wpdb;
		// This prevents the event from showing up in activity feeds
		$EM_Event->event_private = 1;
		// This makes the event post status private
		$wpdb->update($wpdb->posts, array('post_status'=>'private'), array('ID'=>$EM_Event->post_id));
		// This makes the event private so it doesn't show other members calendar
		$wpdb->update(EM_EVENTS_TABLE, array('event_private'=>1), array('event_id'=>$EM_Event->event_id));
	}

	return $result;
}
add_filter('em_event_save', 'make_event_private_by_default',1,2);

    Marking this as resolved.
