missing - users setup events from front-end

When allowing users to add events from the front end, it is wrong that users can see all locations when adding an event, users should only be able to see their own location. Is there a plugin for this to happen?, otherwise there are serious issues when users can see all locations when attempting to add an event.

Hi

The front-end event submission feature was designed mainly for admin/managers of a website can submit events from front-end, that's the reason all published locations will be showed on location dropdown (please note that the create location from front-end feature is not available yet).

Could you please explain more details about how your system works so that I can guide you ?

Thank you for your reply Tuan,

THis is how this works, there are many locations, each of them with their own user who adds events for that location, each user only need to focus on his own location and is not allowed to add other people's location in his event (not even in error). Only the user of each location decide the nature of the event and the dates for the event, there are over 4500 locations so we do not want the organizer getting confused with the location when selecting in event creation page.

This locations are scatter all around the country and event participants will search for locations based on a city, postal code or an option of a local government area (counties) or districts, what event is closest to them at a particular point in time.

Thank you

I think I understand how you want it to works. It seems your site/system is quite big. The solution would be :

1. Adding a new feature allows users to submit location from front-end .

2. When users submit events from front-end, he will only see the solution added by himself .

This is a planned feature, and I will work on it after I completed migrating Events Booking to Joomla 3.0. You can expect to have this feature in the extension within 2 or 3 weeks from now !
