restrict events based on type of user

BTW my website is https://mlearning.mdsinsure.com/

I think it might be possible, but it’s going to require some coding. Are you comfortable using WordPress hooks?

Sometimes I am ?? I think It won’t be a problem,

I think you could use event categories to specify which events were for which type of user, and then use the gg_event_widget_date_args hook to do something like this:

function my_event_dates_filter($args){
	$category = get_user_category();//you will need to write this function to return the category slug the user is allowed to see (or return false).

	if($category){
	$args['event_category'] = $category;
	}

	return $args;
}

add_filter('gg_event_widget_date_args', 'my_event_dates_filter');

That should make it so that the widget will only display events in the category for that user.

Then on your event listing page, you could use the template tag like this:

$category = get_user_category();
$args = array();
if($category){
	$args['category'] = $category;
}

event_geek_list($args);

Hi graphicgeek!

I’m trying to put this to work. Just one question: when you say to use this piece of code (the 2nd one) on the event listing page you mean directly on the page, through page editing? I’m reading about template tags but I’m not reaching it.

Thank you.
