How to create Join button

  • I would like to use this plugin to manage a Newcomers site that has activities or clubs people can join and participate in. However, the documentation is rather thin.

    How do I create a Join button or a Leave button? Where do I place the shortcodes?

    I would like when a member joins the Newcomers club, he/she is presented with the list of activities they can join – they are all recurring, e.g., a Book Club that meets once a month, and “Grasscutters” group which plays golf at various courses in the area every Tuesday.

    Perhaps this plugin won’t work for this, but it seems like it could, except I don’t know how to set it up.

    Thanks for any light you can shed.

    Hi
    Sorry about the lack of documentation, I never got it as planned.

    Anyway I did make a faq about shortcodes. For example, a join button should look like this for an activity named “Book Club” in shortcode: [acts name="Book Club" data="join_button"]
    When a user joins by clicking it, it should turn into a leave button.

    If you are using the blocks editor for posts then should be a dedicated shortcode block you can add. In the older version of post editors it should work anywhere in the regular text editor.

    Thanks for your quick response. One more question:

    Does this plugin work with any membership plugins? We are using the Simple Membership Plugin to manage the membership (which is paid). We could switch to another membership plugin if the Activities plugin is integrated with one. We specifically would like for the person signing up for an activity to be able have his/her information automatically populated in the signup form. It would seem you are accessing the WordPress database to check user access based on their WordPress assigned role.

    Thanks.

    It doesn’t have any direct integration with membership plugins. Since this plugin uses the regular user db table there might be indirect integrations.
    Not sure if I understand your use case, but seems like memebership and activity could have wordpress user ids in common, and use that connection for automation.

    Edit: Might work with WooCommerce membership plugins. Activities can be connected to products in WooCommerce and users buying it will be automatically added to connected activity

    Thanks for the response. I didn’t get notified of your response, so I’m late getting it. I’ll check out the woocommerce integration to see if we can adapt it to our use case.

    Thanks
