Adding an event RSVP form to a page with shortcode

    I really like this plugin. Thank you for making it available. I have one question though. Is there any way in which one can actually add the actual form into an existing page with a shortcode. I have found shortcodes for upcoming events etc.. but nothing to add the actual form of a specific event. Is this possible?

    Yes, it’s possible. I may need to add an additional shortcode or two to cover this scenario.

    Something like this is possible with a shortcode in the latest update:

    * New shortcode, [rsvpmaker_next], displays just the next scheduled event. If the type attribute is set, that becomes the next event of that type. Example: [rsvpmaker_next type=”webinar”]. Also, this displays the complete form rather than the RSVP Now! button unless showbutton=”1″ is set.

    I wondered if you meant that you would like to be able to embed just the form (not the headline and body of the post), or if you just want the event to be displayed with the form showing rather than the RSVP button.

    The [rsvmpmaker_upcoming] shortcode already allows you to embed a single post, but it shows it with the RSVP Now! button so people have to click through to the event before they will be able to fill out the form.

    I’m thinking I may add support for shortcodes in the format
    [rsvpmaker_one event_post_id=”123″] with the form shown by default as in the rsvpmaker_next example
    and
    [rsvpmaker_form event_post_id=”123″] for displaying just the form

    I came across a situation the other day where being able to embed just the form in a landing page would have been useful.

    Let me know if I’m understanding what you’re looking for.

    Hi – I think I have a similar question! I just got the plugin and posted an event, but would like to post it on my blog. When I switch the post type to “post,” I lose the form that was there when the type was “event.”

    I saw some shortcode (with id=10) but I don’t know how to “ID” it.

    Any help appreciated!

    EDIT: I got it!!! Big “DUH!!” Thank you for the plugin! ??

    For the benefit of others who have the question, there is a calendar icon on the button bar in any page or post editor that allows you to add a calendar listing but will also help you pick an individual event to feature.

    In addition, the new shortcodes for displaying an individual event (or just the form from an event) are documented here https://rsvpmaker.com/blog/2016/12/20/new-shortcodes-displaying-single-event/

    When I add [rsvpmaker_next] it shows the next event perfectly on the site with the RSVP button.

    But when a user logs in and clicks the RSVP button, they’re taken to the WordPress login screen and they have to log in again. What could be causing this?

    I have now changed the shortcode so that it shows the complete form as a workaround.

    Thanks, Elisabeth.
