User Dashboard Addon

The application of Modern Events Calendar user dashboard addon

By using the Modern Events Calendar user dashboard addon, you can create a specific page for each user. It contains information about purchased tickets, registered events and much more. Users can now login to purchase tickets.

NOTE: User Dashboard Addon works with MEC version 4.7.5 and higher.

Before installing the addon make sure that your Modern Events Calendar is running version 4.7.5. Follow these simple steps just like in the images:
Go to your plugins section and click on Add New to upload the plugin’s zip file (Plugins > Add New):After activating your new addon, a new menu will appear in the General Settings section of MEC. Go to this new menu option and copy this shortcode –  [MEC_user_dashboard]  – in a page (preferably full height); in addition to this, you need to select the page with the shortcode from the dropdown menu. If you’ve made a new page, you need to refresh it after the settings are saved: This ImageFrom here you can manage which sections your users can see and have access to.

To assign a user as speaker/organizer do the following:

1. Go to the speaker/organizer sub-menu in MEC
2. Create a new speaker/organizer or edit an existing one
3. You can search for a specific user from your website and choose them, just like in the image below.

This way, the user who’s been set as speaker/organizer will have access to edit their own information.

It’s important to point out that if you ever want to change the user you’ve assigned as speaker/organizer, you need to go back where you first assigned them but instead unset them as the speaker/organizer.

Now, you’re good to go.

Go to the page where you copied the shortcode in; you’ll encounter an image that looks like this:Box A gives you access to different sections.

Box B will redirect you to the Tickets and Events sections.

Note: Here, you’ll only see the tickets and events purchased by this user.

Box C allows you to enter general profile information such as website, email, first name, last name and profile image.

If user go to the organizer/speaker tab, user will be able to edit your information (user need to be set as the organizer/speaker)You can make it so that users have to login in order to book any events. Just go to Modern Events Calendar Settings > Booking and follow the steps laid out in the image.If you want to enable this feature only for certain events then its best to keep the settings the same. Instead, go to your specific event then to the Limitation for Users tab within the booking section of your event and enable it.We’ve also got this feature available for shortcodes; in order to make the user login to see the shortcode, you can go to your desired shortcode’s page and enable the option in the image below:
