Thanks very much for the response. I can appreciate your position on needing to prioritize development. Since The Events Calendar is so widely used, could I suggest you consider contacting ModernTribe to maybe work in tandem with them on this type of notification add-on as perhaps other add-ons as well? It may open up a new revenue stream for both parties.
Let’s close up this ticket. I will use an easier workaround method for getting a notification to those who submit a Community Event. I was just hoping for a more elegant solution, but for the time and efforts still needed to do so, I’ve got to take a different route.
Cheers, and thanks again for responding to my inquiries.
If you would please examine the form here: https://denverpride.org/events/community/add/
You’ll see that in the Event Organizer section when you Create an Organizer, additional fields appear, including an e-mail address field. That is the field we want to capture to send notifications to. Likewise, if an Organizer already exists in the system (as you can see by the many Organizers in the dropdown), then their email is already on file and the notification should go to them.
So, using Custom Fields is out of the question in this case. We need BNFW to recognize the Organizer field, and not the Author field.
Is this logical?
Hi,
Here’s the information that came from ModernTribe….
To answer BNFW’s question, I found 2 actions that fires after a Community Events form is submitted:
when an event is created:
do_action( ‘tribe_community_event_created’, $this->event_id );
(line 123)
when an event is updated:
do_action( ‘tribe_community_event_updated’, $this->event_id );
wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-community-events/src/Tribe/Submission_Handler.php (line 104)I would imagine the first action would be the one we’d want to use. But how would BNFW also get the event Organizer’s email address?
Let me know if this is going to be helpful.
I’ve given your reply to ModernTribe. We’ll see what they say. Ideally, they’d just give you the Community Events module so you could develop a best practice solution. I’d gladly contribute for a premium add-on specifically targeted toward Community Events. I thought about purchasing ‘Send to Any Email’, but after reading the documentation I felt that it probably wasn’t the right tool for this job.
Fingers crossed for a solution!
I believe you understand our setup correctly. And yes, I’ve tried several of the methods outlined in your KB to remedy the non-notification issue. BTW, we use the Post SMTP plugin and the desired notification will go out successfully in “Send a test” mode and if I add a registered user to the cc: field in the settings, so I know it should work!
I’ve also been working extensively with Modern Tribe over this issue. It seems as popular and well-known both of these plugins are that the two of your teams could work together to form an smooth solution to this issue. I’m sure I’m one of many who desire this feature. It would give the Event Organizer who submits an event a digital record in their inbox of their submission and what to expect next.
Thanks!
