Author Topic: Users create events (Read 1844 times)

Hello, I am just beginning to build a CiviCRM site on Drupal and have run into a little snag.

I want my users to be able to create events using CiviEvent, and then allow other users to sign up for them. It appears that only the administrator role can create events. Is there a way to do this, or perhaps someone could suggest a workaround?

Thank you.

Francko,

In standard CiviCRM functionality, only administrators can create events, so you would have to create custom module in order to allow people to create them.

Thx,

Starting in 2.1 - users who do NOT have "administer CiviCRM" permission CAN create and manage events. However, they would need to have the base 'access CiviCRM' permission which may open up more functions than you want to give "your users".

Also, the current admin-oriented New Event Wizard probably offers too many options / too many steps for "front-end" use. So I think that means you'll need to create separate Drupal module that utilizes the CiviCRM API's / BAO functions to provide a simplified event create / edit feature. I suspect a module which does this would be useful for quite a few organizations. If you decide to take this on - feel free to post questions / thoughts to the Developer board on this forum.

I'm currently working on a Drupal module that ties a Drupal content type to Civi events.
You create a Drupal node, and the Civi Event is created automatically.

This means you can create views of the Event nodes too, for listings, calendars, etc

Still at the proof of concept stage, so watch this space

Sounds cool. You might also want to check out the work that Lobo has been doing w/ Views and CiviCRM objects:

I am having the same problem. Im using CiviCRM 2.1 and I would like users to create their own events. How do i go about with the access?

you will need to give them access civicrm and access civievent permissions.

If you need them to create events without giving them access to civicrm, you will need to write a drupal module / joomla component to do so (as mentioned in the thread)
