BuddyBoss Integration Addon

BuddyBoss Integration Addon provides and helps you with options to assign events to groups, with each group being able to have its own events. Members of the group can submit events by posting them in the groups of which they are members.

Using the BuddyBoss platform, you can create online forums and courses and make money through membership and subscriptions. With the help of this addon, you can now monetize your events, too.

Here, we will walk you through the process of setting up this addon.

BuddyBoss Integration Introduction

First, ensure the BuddyBoss plugin is installed and active on your website. Check to have all the necessary pages of the plugin ready and that there aren’t any problems in the setup.

After activating the addon, go to WP Dashboard > BuddyBoss > Integrations > MEC.

BuddyBoss Integration Addon Setup

To enable options compatible with MEC, you should have already enabled them from BuddyBoss > Components. After this, in each profile in /members/ path on your website, a new tab would have been added called Events. But before that, you need to create two pages, one to view an event list and the other for adding events. To do this, go to Front-end Events Submission > Basic and place these two shortcodes on the page you want:

In the MEC_fes_form shortcode, if a user attempts to post an event, the event will only post in their name if they have permission to post in WP. To better understand this, please check the info here.

For instance, subscribers with Read access can only send you a form, but users with the author role can edit, publish, and even delete posts. Take note of the following. These are things an Author can do in WordPress: 

delete_posts / edit_posts / delete_published_posts / publish_posts / upload_files / edit_published_posts

You’re almost there. Go to your profile or a member’s profile. You should be able to see a new tab called Events. Here, you or the user can attempt to register a new event. You only need to click on Create New to open the Frontend Event Submission form in MEC. In the sidebar on the left, you can see a list of your own events. Read this guide to get familiar with all these settings here.

Here, we have explained everything you need to know about creating and setting up an event. Make sure to read this guide so you can troubleshoot any potential issues that your users might face:

For example, we have explained how you can add an Organizer or enter the address for a Location.

If you have many events, you can use the search function to find yours.

You can see a list of all your reservations in the Booked Events Tab. For example, select an event from the list on the left.

Configuring events for groups:

First, make sure you have enabled Social Groups from WP Dashboard > BuddyBoss > Components.

Then, navigate to the Integration tab and proceed to activate the settings that are displayed below. Once you have made the necessary changes, kindly remember to save them.

After this, you need to create a group. To do this, please refer to BuddyBoss guides and documents.

Now that you have your group, if it has members, you can manage who owns what event. To do this, the Organizer of the group needs to open the group page and navigate to the Manage tab and then the Events menu:

Then, you need to go to the Events tab and create a new event for the specific group.

The conditions have changed, but the method of event creation is identical to the previous Frontend Submission events.

You might want to assign a specific event to a specific group. To do this, you only need to open the event in the intended group. Select the group and then click on Assign so that the event can appear in that group. Note that you must be a member of that group to do this.

Monetizing events through ticket sales:

Since this addon works with the FES feature, you can easily set your payment options using this guide.
