Event with simple password

Hm, tricky one this. I don’t really want the users to create a WP account. Only protect the events from being filled out by someone that doesn’t know a simple password.

I was thinking, perhaps, to use this plugin:
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/content-protector/
But then I need to password protect the individual events too, not just the overview page with [eme_events category=’special-group’], and I am not sure how to do that. Not good enough.

The simplest way, if I could wish freely, would be to create a new template RSVP form, with the usual information gathering fields, and at the bottom a simple text entry Enter Password:[ ], and then conditionally show the submit button, only if the Enter Password text entry contains “pass123”.

Reading this now, and hm … it almost looks possible!

I have already given 50 euros. It was a little while ago but I always try to behave like a decent man. PayPal Transaction id 6SN33219EJ150024A. Would that still suffice or do you want more? 🙂

My goodness! Is it true? I had almost given up. I will donate as soon as I can. That is a promise.

I managed to use the standard WP page password for the event listing page, and added a snippet to functions.php that turn the password cookie for the event listing page to a session cookie, so it is deleted when the session ends.

function custom_password_cookie_expiry( $expires ) {
    return 0;  // Make it a session cookie
}
add_filter( 'post_password_expires', 'custom_password_cookie_expiry' );

How are you adding rsvp password? As an in-form field with validation against a set string? Or password protect the event page?

Can I test-drive it? Perhaps come with some (silly or valuble) feedback? I am a GUI user experience person in my heart and education.

I just created a copy of my site and disabled the 2.0.37 plugin by renaming its folder and uploading the dev folder. I see that the dev version have no php files in it’s root folder, only readme and changelog. Is that as it should be? Or shall I overwrite the contents in the 2.0.37 folder with the files from the dev version?

I entered a password (123) in the Event page. Added the field with <th scope=”row”>PW:</th>
<td>#_PASSWORD</td>
</tr>

No matter how I try I am getting the

“You’re not allowed to do this. If you believe you’ve received this message in error please contact the site owner.”

Is this the code that checks for password in eme_rsvp.php ?

if (!empty($honeypot_check) || !empty($nonce_err)) {
      $result = __("You're not allowed to do this. If you believe you've received this message in error please contact the site owner.",'events-made-easy');
      return array(0=>$result,1=>$booking_ids);
   }

   $event=$events[0];
   if (!empty($event['event_properties']['rsvp_password'])) {
	   if (!isset( $_POST['rsvp_password'] )) {
		   $result = __('Password is missing','events-made-easy');
		   return array(0=>$result,1=>$booking_ids);
	   } elseif ($_POST['rsvp_password'] != $event['event_properties']['rsvp_password']) {
		   $result = __('Incorrect password given','events-made-easy');
		   return array(0=>$result,1=>$booking_ids);
	   }
   }

How does the plugin sync from #_PASSWORD to rsvp_password ?
Does the honeypot trigger before it checks for password ?

If you would like to test it, I can send you a link to the dev site by email.
