Event Editor Block
The Event Editor block (eventonomy/event-editor) is a frontend form members use to create or edit their own events. It's a custom sectioned form built for Eventonomy, not the native WordPress block editor.
When to Use It
Add it to any page where members should be able to submit or edit events. It's also the block used inside the My Events dashboard for the "create" and "edit" sections, so most sites don't need a separate standalone page for it, but you can add one if you want a dedicated event-submission page.
How to Add It
Block Editor:
- Open the page in the Block Editor.
- Click + and search for Eventonomy Event Editor.
- Insert the block.
- Open the block's Settings panel to set a redirect URL if you want members sent somewhere specific after saving.
Shortcode:
[eventonomy_submit event_id="0" redirect_url="/events/"]
Settings
| Setting | Attribute | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Event ID | eventId |
number | 0 | 0 opens a blank form to create a new event. A real event ID opens that event for editing. |
| Redirect URL | redirectUrl |
string | (empty) | Where to send the member after they save. Leave empty to stay on the same page. |
What Members Can Do
Members fill out the sectioned form to create a new event or update one they already created, then save and continue.
The Registration section
Two controls here decide how the event takes sign-ups:
- Registration - People register here, Registration is on another site (which reveals a Registration URL field), or No registration needed. A new event opens on whichever mode the site owner set as New events start as (Settings → RSVP); the organizer can change it freely.
- Questions to ask when people register - one checkbox per question in the site owner's shared bank (Settings → Questions). A new event starts with every question ticked, so untick what this event does not need. It appears only when the Custom questions feature is on, the bank is not empty, and the event is set to People register here - switching to another mode hides it and switching back returns the selection untouched.
The site owner owns each question's wording, answer type and options; the organizer owns which of them their event asks.
