How do I enable the BuddyBoss Integration Addon for MEC?

First, ensure that the BuddyBoss plugin is installed and active. Then, install and activate the BuddyBoss Integration Addon. Navigate to WP Dashboard > BuddyBoss > Integrations > MEC to configure the settings. Make sure to enable "Enable MEC".

How do I set up the frontend event submission pages?

You will need to create two pages: one for the event list and one for the event submission form. Go to Front-end Events Submission > Basic in the MEC settings, and place the [MEC_fes_list] shortcode on the events list page and [MEC_fes_form] on the add/edit event page.

What user roles can submit events through the Frontend Event Submission?

You can specify the user roles that can submit events in BuddyBoss > Integrations > MEC . It's recommended to use the Moderator, Organizer, and Member roles specific to BuddyBoss, or WordPress roles like Administrator, Editor, etc., if you prefer. These can be granted access across all groups.

How do I grant specific user roles permission to create events within a particular group?

First, set the user roles in the BuddyBoss > Integrations > MEC section . Then, in each specific BuddyBoss group, go to Manage > Events and select the permissions you want to grant. Options include 'All group members,' 'Organizers and Moderators only,' or 'Organizers only'.

Can I assign an event to multiple BuddyBoss groups?

Yes, you can assign an event to a BuddyBoss group through the group's event tab. You can also assign events through the MEC menu by selecting the event you want to edit and assigning it from the BuddyBoss Group dropdown under the Event Details section.

How do I filter MEC events displayed in BuddyBoss groups?

MEC's shortcode generator allows you to filter events. When the BuddyBoss Integration is enabled, you will find a "BuddyBoss Groups" filter option. This lets you include or exclude specific groups from the displayed events.

Why are my events not showing up in a BuddyBoss group?

Ensure the event is assigned to the group. Also, verify that the group is a public group, as events from private or hidden groups will not appear in the public calendar. Check that your user role has been granted permission to view and submit events.

Can logged-out users view events in public groups?

By default, MEC restricts logged-out users from seeing event content. To allow logged-out users to view public group events, enable the "Show single event if event is in public group for all users" setting in BuddyBoss > Integrations > MEC .

What do the "Event Groups" and "Assign Event to Groups" options in MEC Settings do?

The "Event Groups" option enables event functionality within social groups. The "Assign Event to Groups" setting allows you to associate events with specific social groups.

If I assign an event to a group, does it still appear in the regular MEC event calendar?

Yes, assigning an event to a group does not remove it from the regular MEC event calendar. The event appears both in the general calendar and within the specified group's event list. However, you can use the MEC shortcode generator to filter events in the general calendar based on groups.

How can I customize the appearance of the event list and event submission forms in BuddyBoss groups?

The appearance of the event list and submission forms is managed through the MEC plugin's settings for general styling and layout. The BuddyBoss Integration add-on is primarily focused on functionality and integrating the MEC event system with BuddyBoss groups rather than aesthetic customization. Custom CSS can also be used in the MEC options to further adjust the appearance of the MEC calendar and related features.
